nasb@Isaiah:1:5 @Where will you be stricken again, As you continue in your rebellion? The whole head is sick And the whole heart is faint.

nasb@Isaiah:1:8 @The daughter of Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard, Like a watchman's hut in a cucumber field, like a besieged city.

nasb@Isaiah:1:9 @Unless the LORD of hosts Had left us a few survivors, We would be like Sodom, We would be like Gomorrah.

nasb@Isaiah:1:12" @When you come to appear before Me, Who requires of you this trampling of My courts?

nasb@Isaiah:1:14" @I hate your new moon festivals and your appointed feasts, They have become a burden to Me; I am weary of bearing them.

nasb@Isaiah:1:18" @Come now, and let us reason together," Says the LORD, " Though your sins are as scarlet, They will be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They will be like wool.

nasb@Isaiah:1:19" @ If you consent and obey, You will eat the best of the land;

nasb@Isaiah:1:20" @But if you refuse and rebel, You will be devoured by the sword." Truly, the mouth of the LORD has spoken.

nasb@Isaiah:1:21 @How the faithful city has become a harlot, She who was full of justice! Righteousness once lodged in her, But now murderers.

nasb@Isaiah:1:22 @Your silver has become dross, Your drink diluted with water.

nasb@Isaiah:1:23 @Your rulers are rebels And companions of thieves; Everyone loves a bribe And chases after rewards. They do not defend the orphan, Nor does the widow's plea come before them.

nasb@Isaiah:1:24 @Therefore the Lord GOD of hosts, The Mighty One of Israel, declares, "Ah, I will be relieved of My adversaries And avenge Myself on My foes.

nasb@Isaiah:1:26" @Then I will restore your judges as at the first, And your counselors as at the beginning; After that you will be called the city of righteousness, A faithful city."

nasb@Isaiah:1:27 @Zion will be redeemed with justice And her repentant ones with righteousness.

nasb@Isaiah:1:28 @But transgressors and sinners will be crushed together, And those who forsake the LORD will come to an end.

nasb@Isaiah:1:29 @Surely you will be ashamed of the oaks which you have desired, And you will be embarrassed at the gardens which you have chosen.

nasb@Isaiah:1:30 @For you will be like an oak whose leaf fades away Or as a garden that has no water.

nasb@Isaiah:1:31 @The strong man will become tinder, His work also a spark. Thus they shall both burn together And there will be none to quench them.

nasb@Isaiah:2:2 @Now it will come about that In the last days The mountain of the house of the LORD Will be established as the chief of the mountains, And will be raised above the hills; And all the nations will stream to it.

nasb@Isaiah:2:4 @And He will judge between the nations, And will render decisions for many peoples; And they will hammer their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, And never again will they learn war.

nasb@Isaiah:2:6 @For You have abandoned Your people, the house of Jacob, Because they are filled with influences from the east, And they are soothsayers like the Philistines, And they strike bargains with the children of foreigners.

nasb@Isaiah:2:7 @Their land has also been filled with silver and gold And there is no end to their treasures; Their land has also been filled with horses And there is no end to their chariots.

nasb@Isaiah:2:8 @Their land has also been filled with idols; They worship the work of their hands, That which their fingers have made.

nasb@Isaiah:2:9 @So the common man has been humbled And the man of importance has been abased, But do not forgive them.

nasb@Isaiah:2:11 @The proud look of man will be abased And the loftiness of man will be humbled, And the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.

nasb@Isaiah:2:12 @For the LORD of hosts will have a day of reckoning Against everyone who is proud and lofty And against everyone who is lifted up, That he may be abased.

nasb@Isaiah:2:13 @And it will be against all the cedars of Lebanon that are lofty and lifted up, Against all the oaks of Bashan,

nasb@Isaiah:2:16 @Against all the ships of Tarshish And against all the beautiful craft.

nasb@Isaiah:2:17 @The pride of man will be humbled And the loftiness of men will be abased; And the LORD alone will be exalted in that day,

nasb@Isaiah:2:19 @Men will go into caves of the rocks And into holes of the ground Before the terror of the LORD And the splendor of His majesty, When He arises to make the earth tremble.

nasb@Isaiah:2:21 @In order to go into the caverns of the rocks and the clefts of the cliffs Before the terror of the LORD and the splendor of His majesty, When He arises to make the earth tremble.

nasb@Isaiah:2:22 @Stop regarding man, whose breath of life is in his nostrils; For why should he be esteemedNULL

nasb@Isaiah:3:1 @For behold, the Lord GOD of hosts is going to remove from Jerusalem and Judah Both supply and support, the whole supply of bread And the whole supply of water;

nasb@Isaiah:3:5 @And the people will be oppressed, Each one by another, and each one by his neighbor; The youth will storm against the elder And the inferior against the honorable.

nasb@Isaiah:3:6 @When a man lays hold of his brother in his father's house, saying, "You have a cloak, you shall be our ruler, And these ruins will be under your charge,"

nasb@Isaiah:3:7 @He will protest on that day, saying, "I will not be your healer, For in my house there is neither bread nor cloak; You should not appoint me ruler of the people."

nasb@Isaiah:3:8 @For Jerusalem has stumbled and Judah has fallen, Because their speech and their actions are against the LORD, To rebel against His glorious presence.

nasb@Isaiah:3:9 @The expression of their faces bears witness against them, And they display their sin like Sodom; They do not even conceal it. Woe to them! For they have brought evil on themselves.

nasb@Isaiah:3:11 @Woe to the wicked! It will go badly with him, For what he deserves will be done to him.

nasb@Isaiah:3:16 @Moreover, the LORD said, "Because the daughters of Zion are proud And walk with heads held high and seductive eyes, And go along with mincing steps And tinkle the bangles on their feet,

nasb@Isaiah:3:18 @In that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, headbands, crescent ornaments,

nasb@Isaiah:3:22 @festal robes, outer tunics, cloaks, money purses,

nasb@Isaiah:3:24 @Now it will come about that instead of sweet perfume there will be putrefaction; Instead of a belt, a rope; Instead of well-set hair, a plucked-out scalp; Instead of fine clothes, a donning of sackcloth; And branding instead of beauty.

nasb@Isaiah:4:1 @For seven women will take hold of one man in that day, saying, "We will eat our own bread and wear our own clothes, only let us be called by your name; take away our reproach!"

nasb@Isaiah:4:2 @In that day the Branch of the LORD will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth will be the pride and the adornment of the survivors of Israel.

nasb@Isaiah:4:3 @It will come about that he who is left in Zion and remains in Jerusalem will be called holy--everyone who is recorded for life in Jerusalem.

nasb@Isaiah:4:5 @then the LORD will create over the whole area of Mount Zion and over her assemblies a cloud by day, even smoke, and the brightness of a flaming fire by night; for over all the glory will be a canopy.

nasb@Isaiah:4:6 @There will be a shelter to give shade from the heat by day, and refuge and protection from the storm and the rain.

nasb@Isaiah:5:1 @Let me sing now for my well-beloved A song of my beloved concerning His vineyard. My well-beloved had a vineyard on a fertile hill.

nasb@Isaiah:5:3" @And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, Judge between Me and My vineyard.

nasb@Isaiah:5:5" @So now let Me tell you what I am going to do to My vineyard- I will remove its hedge and it will be consumed; I will break down its wall and it will become trampled ground.

nasb@Isaiah:5:6" @I will lay it waste; It will not be pruned or hoed, But briars and thorns will come up. I will also charge the clouds to rain no rain on it."

nasb@Isaiah:5:7 @For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel And the men of Judah His delightful plant. Thus He looked for justice, but behold, bloodshed; For righteousness, but behold, a cry of distress.

nasb@Isaiah:5:9 @In my ears the LORD of hosts has sworn, "Surely, many houses shall become desolate, Even great and fine ones, without occupants.

nasb@Isaiah:5:15 @So the common man will be humbled and the man of importance abased, The eyes of the proud also will be abased.

nasb@Isaiah:5:16 @But the LORD of hosts will be exalted in judgment, And the holy God will show Himself holy in righteousness.

nasb@Isaiah:5:23 @Who justify the wicked for a bribe, And take away the rights of the ones who are in the right!

nasb@Isaiah:5:24 @Therefore, as a tongue of fire consumes stubble And dry grass collapses into the flame, So their root will become like rot and their blossom blow away as dust; For they have rejected the law of the LORD of hosts And despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

nasb@Isaiah:5:26 @He will also lift up a standard to the distant nation, And will whistle for it from the ends of the earth; And behold, it will come with speed swiftly.

nasb@Isaiah:5:27 @No one in it is weary or stumbles, None slumbers or sleeps; Nor is the belt at its waist undone, Nor its sandal strap broken.

nasb@Isaiah:5:28 @Its arrows are sharp and all its bows are bent; The hoofs of its horses seem like flint and its chariot wheels like a whirlwind.

nasb@Isaiah:5:30 @And it will growl over it in that day like the roaring of the sea. If one looks to the land, behold, there is darkness and distress; Even the light is darkened by its clouds.

nasb@Isaiah:6:1 @In the year of King Uzziah's death I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, lofty and exalted, with the train of His robe filling the temple.

nasb@Isaiah:6:5 @Then I said, " Woe is me, for I am ruined! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I live among a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts."

nasb@Isaiah:6:7 @He touched my mouth with it and said, "Behold, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away and your sin is forgiven."

nasb@Isaiah:6:10" @ Render the hearts of this people insensitive, Their ears dull, And their eyes dim, Otherwise they might see with their eyes, Hear with their ears, Understand with their hearts, And return and be healed."

nasb@Isaiah:6:13" @Yet there will be a tenth portion in it, And it will again be subject to burning, Like a terebinth or an oak Whose stump remains when it is felled. The holy seed is its stump."

nasb@Isaiah:7:4 @and say to him, 'Take care and be calm, have no fear and do not be fainthearted because of these two stubs of smoldering firebrands, on account of the fierce anger of Rezin and Aram and the son of Remaliah.

nasb@Isaiah:7:5 @'Because Aram, with Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, has planned evil against you, saying,

nasb@Isaiah:7:6" @Let us go up against Judah and terrorize it, and make for ourselves a breach in its walls and set up the son of Tabeel as king in the midst of it,"

nasb@Isaiah:7:8" @For the head of Aram is Damascus and the head of Damascus is Rezin (now within another 65 years Ephraim will be shattered, so that it is no longer a people),

nasb@Isaiah:7:9 @and the head of Ephraim is Samaria and the head of Samaria is the son of Remaliah. If you will not believe, you surely shall not last."'"

nasb@Isaiah:7:14" @Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign- Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel.

nasb@Isaiah:7:16" @ For before the boy will know enough to refuse evil and choose good, the land whose two kings you dread will be forsaken.

nasb@Isaiah:7:18 @In that day the LORD will whistle for the fly that is in the remotest part of the rivers of Egypt and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.

nasb@Isaiah:7:20 @In that day the Lord will shave with a razor, hired from regions beyond the Euphrates (that is, with the king of Assyria), the head and the hair of the legs; and it will also remove the beard.

nasb@Isaiah:7:22 @and because of the abundance of the milk produced he will eat curds, for everyone that is left within the land will eat curds and honey.

nasb@Isaiah:7:23 @And it will come about in that day, that every place where there used to be a thousand vines, valued at a thousand shekels of silver, will become briars and thorns.

nasb@Isaiah:7:24 @People will come there with bows and arrows because all the land will be briars and thorns.

nasb@Isaiah:7:25 @As for all the hills which used to be cultivated with the hoe, you will not go there for fear of briars and thorns; but they will become a place for pasturing oxen and for sheep to trample.

nasb@Isaiah:7:2" @And I will take to Myself faithful witnesses for testimony, Uriah the priest and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah."

nasb@Isaiah:7:4 @for before the boy knows how to cry out 'My father' or 'My mother,' the wealth of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria will be carried away before the king of Assyria."

nasb@Isaiah:7:7" @Now therefore, behold, the Lord is about to bring on them the strong and abundant waters of the Euphrates, Even the king of Assyria and all his glory; And it will rise up over all its channels and go over all its banks.

nasb@Isaiah:7:9" @ Be broken, O peoples, and be shattered; And give ear, all remote places of the earth. Gird yourselves, yet be shattered; Gird yourselves, yet be shattered.

nasb@Isaiah:7:10" @ Devise a plan, but it will be thwarted; State a proposal, but it will not stand, For God is with us."

nasb@Isaiah:7:12" @You are not to say, 'It is a conspiracy!' In regard to all that this people call a conspiracy, And you are not to fear what they fear or be in dread of it.

nasb@Isaiah:7:13" @It is the LORD of hosts whom you should regard as holy. And He shall be your fear, And He shall be your dread.

nasb@Isaiah:7:14" @Then He shall become a sanctuary; But to both the houses of Israel, a stone to strike and a rock to stumble over, And a snare and a trap for the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

nasb@Isaiah:7:15" @Many will stumble over them, Then they will fall and be broken; They will even be snared and caught."

nasb@Isaiah:7:18 @Behold, I and the children whom the LORD has given me are for signs and wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, who dwells on Mount Zion.

nasb@Isaiah:7:19 @When they say to you, " Consult the mediums and the spiritists who whisper and mutter," should not a people consult their God? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living?

nasb@Isaiah:7:20 @To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because they have no dawn.

nasb@Isaiah:7:21 @They will pass through the land hard-pressed and famished, and it will turn out that when they are hungry, they will be enraged and curse their king and their God as they face upward.

nasb@Isaiah:7:22 @Then they will look to the earth, and behold, distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish; and they will be driven away into darkness.

nasb@Isaiah:8:1 @But there will be no more gloom for her who was in anguish; in earlier times He treated the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali with contempt, but later on He shall make it glorious, by the way of the sea, on the other side of Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles.

nasb@Isaiah:8:3 @You shall multiply the nation, You shall increase their gladness; They will be glad in Your presence As with the gladness of harvest, As men rejoice when they divide the spoil.

nasb@Isaiah:8:5 @For every boot of the booted warrior in the battle tumult, And cloak rolled in blood, will be for burning, fuel for the fire.

nasb@Isaiah:8:6 @For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.

nasb@Isaiah:8:7 @There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace, On the throne of David and over his kingdom, To establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness From then on and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will accomplish this.

nasb@Isaiah:8:10" @The bricks have fallen down, But we will rebuild with smooth stones; The sycamores have been cut down, But we will replace them with cedars."

nasb@Isaiah:9:2 @So as to deprive the needy of justice And rob the poor of My people of their rights, So that widows may be their spoil And that they may plunder the orphans.

nasb@Isaiah:9:12 @So it will be that when the Lord has completed all His work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, He will say, "I will punish the fruit of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria and the pomp of his haughtiness."

nasb@Isaiah:9:14 @And my hand reached to the riches of the peoples like a nest, And as one gathers abandoned eggs, I gathered all the earth; And there was not one that flapped its wing or opened its beak or chirped."

nasb@Isaiah:9:15 @Is the axe to boast itself over the one who chops with it? Is the saw to exalt itself over the one who wields it? That would be like a club wielding those who lift it, Or like a rod lifting him who is not wood.

nasb@Isaiah:9:16 @Therefore the Lord, the GOD of hosts, will send a wasting disease among his stout warriors; And under his glory a fire will be kindled like a burning flame.

nasb@Isaiah:9:17 @And the light of Israel will become a fire and his Holy One a flame, And it will burn and devour his thorns and his briars in a single day.

nasb@Isaiah:9:18 @And He will destroy the glory of his forest and of his fruitful garden, both soul and body, And it will be as when a sick man wastes away.

nasb@Isaiah:9:19 @And the rest of the trees of his forest will be so small in number That a child could write them down.

nasb@Isaiah:9:22 @For though your people, O Israel, may be like the sand of the sea, Only a remnant within them will return; A destruction is determined, overflowing with righteousness.

nasb@Isaiah:9:25" @For in a very little while My indignation against you will be spent and My anger will be directed to their destruction."

nasb@Isaiah:9:26 @The LORD of hosts will arouse a scourge against him like the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb; and His staff will be over the sea and He will lift it up the way He did in Egypt.

nasb@Isaiah:9:27 @So it will be in that day, that his burden will be removed from your shoulders and his yoke from your neck, and the yoke will be broken because of fatness.

nasb@Isaiah:9:29 @They have gone through the pass, saying, " Geba will be our lodging place." Ramah is terrified, and Gibeah of Saul has fled away.

nasb@Isaiah:9:33 @Behold, the Lord, the GOD of hosts, will lop off the boughs with a terrible crash; Those also who are tall in stature will be cut down And those who are lofty will be abased.

nasb@Isaiah:10:1 @Then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse, And a branch from his roots will bear fruit.

nasb@Isaiah:10:5 @Also righteousness will be the belt about His loins, And faithfulness the belt about His waist.

nasb@Isaiah:10:7 @Also the cow and the bear will graze, Their young will lie down together, And the lion will eat straw like the ox.

nasb@Isaiah:10:9 @They will not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain, For the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD As the waters cover the sea.

nasb@Isaiah:10:10 @Then in that day The nations will resort to the root of Jesse, Who will stand as a signal for the peoples; And His resting place will be glorious.

nasb@Isaiah:10:13 @Then the jealousy of Ephraim will depart, And those who harass Judah will be cut off; Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah, And Judah will not harass Ephraim.

nasb@Isaiah:10:14 @They will swoop down on the slopes of the Philistines on the west; Together they will plunder the sons of the east; They will possess Edom and Moab, And the sons of Ammon will be subject to them.

nasb@Isaiah:10:16 @And there will be a highway from Assyria For the remnant of His people who will be left, Just as there was for Israel In the day that they came up out of the land of Egypt.

nasb@Isaiah:10:2" @Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; For the LORD GOD is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation."

nasb@Isaiah:10:4 @And in that day you will say, " Give thanks to the LORD, call on His name. Make known His deeds among the peoples; Make them remember that His name is exalted."

nasb@Isaiah:10:5 @Praise the LORD in song, for He has done excellent things; Let this be known throughout the earth.

nasb@Isaiah:11:8 @They will be terrified, Pains and anguish will take hold of them; They will writhe like a woman in labor, They will look at one another in astonishment, Their faces aflame.

nasb@Isaiah:11:9 @Behold, the day of the LORD is coming, Cruel, with fury and burning anger, To make the land a desolation; And He will exterminate its sinners from it.

nasb@Isaiah:11:10 @For the stars of heaven and their constellations Will not flash forth their light; The sun will be dark when it rises And the moon will not shed its light.

nasb@Isaiah:11:13 @Therefore I will make the heavens tremble, And the earth will be shaken from its place At the fury of the LORD of hosts In the day of His burning anger.

nasb@Isaiah:11:14 @And it will be that like a hunted gazelle, Or like sheep with none to gather them, They will each turn to his own people, And each one flee to his own land.

nasb@Isaiah:11:15 @Anyone who is found will be thrust through, And anyone who is captured will fall by the sword.

nasb@Isaiah:11:16 @Their little ones also will be dashed to pieces Before their eyes; Their houses will be plundered And their wives ravished.

nasb@Isaiah:11:17 @Behold, I am going to stir up the Medes against them, Who will not value silver or take pleasure in gold.

nasb@Isaiah:11:19 @And Babylon, the beauty of kingdoms, the glory of the Chaldeans' pride, Will be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.

nasb@Isaiah:11:20 @It will never be inhabited or lived in from generation to generation; Nor will the Arab pitch his tent there, Nor will shepherds make their flocks lie down there.

nasb@Isaiah:11:21 @But desert creatures will lie down there, And their houses will be full of owls; Ostriches also will live there, and shaggy goats will frolic there.

nasb@Isaiah:11:22 @Hyenas will howl in their fortified towers And jackals in their luxurious palaces. Her fateful time also will soon come And her days will not be prolonged.

nasb@Isaiah:12:3 @And it will be in the day when the LORD gives you rest from your pain and turmoil and harsh service in which you have been enslaved,

nasb@Isaiah:12:9" @ Sheol from beneath is excited over you to meet you when you come; It arouses for you the spirits of the dead, all the leaders of the earth; It raises all the kings of the nations from their thrones.

nasb@Isaiah:12:10" @ They will all respond and say to you, 'Even you have been made weak as we, You have become like us.

nasb@Isaiah:12:11 @'Your pomp and the music of your harps Have been brought down to Sheol; Maggots are spread out as your bed beneath you And worms are your covering.'

nasb@Isaiah:12:12" @How you have fallen from heaven, O star of the morning, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the earth, You who have weakened the nations!

nasb@Isaiah:12:15" @Nevertheless you will be thrust down to Sheol, To the recesses of the pit.

nasb@Isaiah:12:19" @But you have been cast out of your tomb Like a rejected branch, Clothed with the slain who are pierced with a sword, Who go down to the stones of the pit Like a trampled corpse.

nasb@Isaiah:12:20" @You will not be united with them in burial, Because you have ruined your country, You have slain your people. May the offspring of evildoers not be mentioned forever.

nasb@Isaiah:12:21" @Prepare for his sons a place of slaughter Because of the iniquity of their fathers. They must not arise and take possession of the earth And fill the face of the world with cities."

nasb@Isaiah:12:25 @to break Assyria in My land, and I will trample him on My mountains. Then his yoke will be removed from them and his burden removed from their shoulder.

nasb@Isaiah:12:29" @Do not rejoice, O Philistia, all of you, Because the rod that struck you is broken; For from the serpent's root a viper will come out, And its fruit will be a flying serpent.

nasb@Isaiah:13:2 @They have gone up to the temple and to Dibon, even to the high places to weep. Moab wails over Nebo and Medeba; Everyone's head is bald and every beard is cut off.

nasb@Isaiah:13:8 @For the cry of distress has gone around the territory of Moab, Its wail goes as far as Eglaim and its wailing even to Beer-elim.

nasb@Isaiah:14:2 @Then, like fleeing birds or scattered nestlings, The daughters of Moab will be at the fords of the Arnon.

nasb@Isaiah:14:3" @Give us advice, make a decision; Cast your shadow like night at high noon; Hide the outcasts, do not betray the fugitive.

nasb@Isaiah:14:4" @Let the outcasts of Moab stay with you; Be a hiding place to them from the destroyer." For the extortioner has come to an end, destruction has ceased, Oppressors have completely disappeared from the land.

nasb@Isaiah:14:5 @A throne will even be established in lovingkindness, And a judge will sit on it in faithfulness in the tent of David; Moreover, he will seek justice And be prompt in righteousness.

nasb@Isaiah:14:10 @Gladness and joy are taken away from the fruitful field; In the vineyards also there will be no cries of joy or jubilant shouting, No treader treads out wine in the presses, For I have made the shouting to cease.

nasb@Isaiah:14:14 @But now the LORD speaks, saying, "Within three years, as a hired man would count them, the glory of Moab will be degraded along with all his great population, and his remnant will be very small and impotent."

nasb@Isaiah:14:17 @The oracle concerning Damascus. "Behold, Damascus is about to be removed from being a city And will become a fallen ruin.

nasb@Isaiah:14:2" @The cities of Aroer are forsaken; They will be for flocks to lie down in, And there will be no one to frighten them.

nasb@Isaiah:14:3" @The fortified city will disappear from Ephraim, And sovereignty from Damascus And the remnant of Aram; They will be like the glory of the sons of Israel," Declares the LORD of hosts.

nasb@Isaiah:14:4 @Now in that day the glory of Jacob will fade, And the fatness of his flesh will become lean.

nasb@Isaiah:14:5 @It will be even like the reaper gathering the standing grain, As his arm harvests the ears, Or it will be like one gleaning ears of grain In the valley of Rephaim.

nasb@Isaiah:14:6 @Yet gleanings will be left in it like the shaking of an olive tree, Two or three olives on the topmost bough, Four or five on the branches of a fruitful tree, Declares the LORD, the God of Israel.

nasb@Isaiah:14:9 @In that day their strong cities will be like forsaken places in the forest, Or like branches which they abandoned before the sons of Israel; And the land will be a desolation.

nasb@Isaiah:14:10 @For you have forgotten the God of your salvation And have not remembered the rock of your refuge. Therefore you plant delightful plants And set them with vine slips of a strange god.

nasb@Isaiah:14:11 @In the day that you plant it you carefully fence it in, And in the morning you bring your seed to blossom; But the harvest will be a heap In a day of sickliness and incurable pain.

nasb@Isaiah:14:13 @The nations rumble on like the rumbling of many waters, But He will rebuke them and they will flee far away, And be chased like chaff in the mountains before the wind, Or like whirling dust before a gale.

nasb@Isaiah:14:14 @At evening time, behold, there is terror! Before morning they are no more. Such will be the portion of those who plunder us And the lot of those who pillage us.

nasb@Isaiah:15:1 @Alas, oh land of whirring wings Which lies beyond the rivers of Cush,

nasb@Isaiah:15:5 @For before the harvest, as soon as the bud blossoms And the flower becomes a ripening grape, Then He will cut off the sprigs with pruning knives And remove and cut away the spreading branches.

nasb@Isaiah:15:6 @They will be left together for mountain birds of prey, And for the beasts of the earth; And the birds of prey will spend the summer feeding on them, And all the beasts of the earth will spend harvest time on them.

nasb@Isaiah:15:7 @At that time a gift of homage will be brought to the LORD of hosts From a people tall and smooth, Even from a people feared far and wide, A powerful and oppressive nation, Whose land the rivers divide-- To the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, even Mount Zion.

nasb@Isaiah:15:19 @The oracle concerning Egypt. Behold, the LORD is riding on a swift cloud and is about to come to Egypt; The idols of Egypt will tremble at His presence, And the heart of the Egyptians will melt within them.

nasb@Isaiah:15:3" @Then the spirit of the Egyptians will be demoralized within them; And I will confound their strategy, So that they will resort to idols and ghosts of the dead And to mediums and spiritists.

nasb@Isaiah:15:5 @The waters from the sea will dry up, And the river will be parched and dry.

nasb@Isaiah:15:7 @The bulrushes by the Nile, by the edge of the Nile And all the sown fields by the Nile Will become dry, be driven away, and be no more.

nasb@Isaiah:15:9 @Moreover, the manufacturers of linen made from combed flax And the weavers of white cloth will be utterly dejected.

nasb@Isaiah:15:10 @And the pillars of Egypt will be crushed; All the hired laborers will be grieved in soul.

nasb@Isaiah:15:11 @The princes of Zoan are mere fools; The advice of Pharaoh's wisest advisers has become stupid. How can you men say to Pharaoh, "I am a son of the wise, a son of ancient kings"?

nasb@Isaiah:15:13 @The princes of Zoan have acted foolishly, The princes of Memphis are deluded; Those who are the cornerstone of her tribes Have led Egypt astray.

nasb@Isaiah:15:15 @There will be no work for Egypt Which its head or tail, its palm branch or bulrush, may do.

nasb@Isaiah:15:16 @In that day the Egyptians will become like women, and they will tremble and be in dread because of the waving of the hand of the LORD of hosts, which He is going to wave over them.

nasb@Isaiah:15:17 @The land of Judah will become a terror to Egypt; everyone to whom it is mentioned will be in dread of it, because of the purpose of the LORD of hosts which He is purposing against them.

nasb@Isaiah:15:18 @In that day five cities in the land of Egypt will be speaking the language of Canaan and swearing allegiance to the LORD of hosts; one will be called the City of Destruction.

nasb@Isaiah:15:19 @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 near its border.

nasb@Isaiah:15:20 @It will become a sign and a witness to the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they will cry to the LORD because of oppressors, and He will send them a Savior and a Champion, and He will deliver them.

nasb@Isaiah:15:23 @In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrians will come into Egypt and the Egyptians into Assyria, and the Egyptians will worship with the Assyrians.

nasb@Isaiah:15:24 @In that day Israel will be the third party with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth,

nasb@Isaiah:16:5" @Then they will be dismayed and ashamed because of Cush their hope and Egypt their boast.

nasb@Isaiah:16:6" @So the inhabitants of this coastland will say in that day, 'Behold, such is our hope, where we fled for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria; and we, how shall we escape?'"

nasb@Isaiah:17:2 @A harsh vision has been shown to me; The treacherous one still deals treacherously, and the destroyer still destroys. Go up, Elam, lay siege, Media; I have made an end of all the groaning she has caused.

nasb@Isaiah:17:3 @For this reason my loins are full of anguish; Pains have seized me like the pains of a woman in labor. I am so bewildered I cannot hear, so terrified I cannot see.

nasb@Isaiah:17:4 @My mind reels, horror overwhelms me; The twilight I longed for has been turned for me into trembling.

nasb@Isaiah:17:9" @Now behold, here comes a troop of riders, horsemen in pairs." And one said, " Fallen, fallen is Babylon; And all the images of her gods are shattered on the ground."

nasb@Isaiah:17:15 @For they have fled from the swords, From the drawn sword, and from the bent bow And from the press of battle.

nasb@Isaiah:17:17 @and the remainder of the number of bowmen, the mighty men of the sons of Kedar, will be few; for the LORD God of Israel has spoken."

nasb@Isaiah:18:3 @All your rulers have fled together, And have been captured without the bow; All of you who were found were taken captive together, Though they had fled far away.

nasb@Isaiah:18:11 @And you made a reservoir between the two walls For the waters of the old pool. But you did not depend on Him who made it, Nor did you take into consideration Him who planned it long ago.

nasb@Isaiah:18:14 @But the LORD of hosts revealed Himself to me, "Surely this iniquity shall not be forgiven you Until you die," says the Lord GOD of hosts.

nasb@Isaiah:18:17 @'Behold, the LORD is about to hurl you headlong, O man. And He is about to grasp you firmly

nasb@Isaiah:18:18 @And roll you tightly like a ball, To be cast into a vast country; There you will die And there your splendid chariots will be, You shame of your master's house.'

nasb@Isaiah:18:21 @And I will clothe him with your tunic And tie your sash securely about him. I will entrust him with your authority, And he will become a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.

nasb@Isaiah:18:23" @I will drive him like a peg in a firm place, And he will become a throne of glory to his father's house.

nasb@Isaiah:18:25" @In that day," declares the LORD of hosts, "the peg driven in a firm place will give way; it will even break off and fall, and the load hanging on it will be cut off, for the LORD has spoken."

nasb@Isaiah:19:2 @Be silent, you inhabitants of the coastland, You merchants of Sidon; Your messengers crossed the sea

nasb@Isaiah:19:4 @Be ashamed, O Sidon; For the sea speaks, the stronghold of the sea, saying, "I have neither travailed nor given birth, I have neither brought up young men nor reared virgins."

nasb@Isaiah:19:5 @When the report reaches Egypt, They will be in anguish at the report of Tyre.

nasb@Isaiah:19:8 @Who has planned this against Tyre, the bestower of crowns, Whose merchants were princes, whose traders were the honored of the earth?

nasb@Isaiah:19:9 @The LORD of hosts has planned it, to defile the pride of all beauty, To despise all the honored of the earth.

nasb@Isaiah:19:13 @Behold, the land of the Chaldeans--this is the people which was not; Assyria appointed it for desert creatures--they erected their siege towers, they stripped its palaces, they made it a ruin.

nasb@Isaiah:19:15 @Now in that day Tyre will be forgotten for seventy years like the days of one king. At the end of seventy years it will happen to Tyre as in the song of the harlot-

nasb@Isaiah:19:16 @Take your harp, walk about the city, O forgotten harlot; Pluck the strings skillfully, sing many songs, That you may be remembered.

nasb@Isaiah:19:18 @Her gain and her harlot's wages will be set apart to the LORD; it will not be stored up or hoarded, but her gain will become sufficient food and choice attire for those who dwell in the presence of the LORD.

nasb@Isaiah:20:1 @Behold, the LORD lays the earth waste, devastates it, distorts its surface and scatters its inhabitants.

nasb@Isaiah:20:2 @And the people will be like the priest, the servant like his master, the maid like her mistress, the buyer like the seller, the lender like the borrower, the creditor like the debtor.

nasb@Isaiah:20:3 @The earth will be completely laid waste and completely despoiled, for the LORD has spoken this word.

nasb@Isaiah:20:13 @For thus it will be in the midst of the earth among the peoples, As the shaking of an olive tree, As the gleanings when the grape harvest is over.

nasb@Isaiah:20:18 @Then it will be that he who flees the report of disaster will fall into the pit, And he who climbs out of the pit will be caught in the snare; For the windows above are opened, and the foundations of the earth shake.

nasb@Isaiah:20:22 @They will be gathered together Like prisoners in the dungeon, And will be confined in prison; And after many days they will be punished.

nasb@Isaiah:20:23 @Then the moon will be abashed and the sun ashamed, For the LORD of hosts will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, And His glory will be before His elders.

nasb@Isaiah:21:2 @For You have made a city into a heap, A fortified city into a ruin; A palace of strangers is a city no more, It will never be rebuilt.

nasb@Isaiah:21:4 @For You have been a defense for the helpless, A defense for the needy in his distress, A refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat; For the breath of the ruthless Is like a rain storm against a wall.

nasb@Isaiah:21:9 @And it will be said in that day, "Behold, this is our God for whom we have waited that He might save us. This is the LORD for whom we have waited; Let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation."

nasb@Isaiah:21:10 @For the hand of the LORD will rest on this mountain, And Moab will be trodden down in his place As straw is trodden down in the water of a manure pile.

nasb@Isaiah:21:26 @In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah- "We have a strong city; He sets up walls and ramparts for security.

nasb@Isaiah:21:3" @The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect peace, Because he trusts in You.

nasb@Isaiah:21:13 @O LORD our God, other masters besides You have ruled us; But through You alone we confess Your name.

nasb@Isaiah:21:17 @As the pregnant woman approaches the time to give birth, She writhes and cries out in her labor pains, Thus were we before You, O LORD.

nasb@Isaiah:21:20 @Come, my people, enter into your rooms And close your doors behind you; Hide for a little while Until indignation runs its course.

nasb@Isaiah:21:21 @For behold, the LORD is about to come out from His place To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; And the earth will reveal her bloodshed And will no longer cover her slain.

nasb@Isaiah:22:7 @Like the striking of Him who has struck them, has He struck them? Or like the slaughter of His slain, have they been slain?

nasb@Isaiah:22:9 @Therefore through this Jacob's iniquity will be forgiven; And this will be the full price of the pardoning of his sin- When he makes all the altar stones like pulverized chalk stones; When Asherim and incense altars will not stand.

nasb@Isaiah:22:11 @When its limbs are dry, they are broken off; Women come and make a fire with them, For they are not a people of discernment, Therefore their Maker will not have compassion on them. And their Creator will not be gracious to them.

nasb@Isaiah:22:12 @In that day the LORD will start His threshing from the flowing stream of the Euphrates to the brook of Egypt, and you will be gathered up one by one, O sons of Israel.

nasb@Isaiah:22:13 @It will come about also in that day that a great trumpet will be blown, and those who were perishing in the land of Assyria and who were scattered in the land of Egypt will come and worship the LORD in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.

nasb@Isaiah:23:1 @Woe to the proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim, And to the fading flower of its glorious beauty, Which is at the head of the fertile valley Of those who are overcome with wine!

nasb@Isaiah:23:2 @Behold, the Lord has a strong and mighty agent; As a storm of hail, a tempest of destruction, Like a storm of mighty overflowing waters, He has cast it down to the earth with His hand.

nasb@Isaiah:23:4 @And the fading flower of its glorious beauty, Which is at the head of the fertile valley, Will be like the first-ripe fig prior to summer, Which one sees, And as soon as it is in his hand, He swallows it.

nasb@Isaiah:23:5 @In that day the LORD of hosts will become a beautiful crown And a glorious diadem to the remnant of His people;

nasb@Isaiah:23:13 @So the word of the LORD to them will be, "Order on order, order on order, Line on line, line on line, A little here, a little there," That they may go and stumble backward, be broken, snared and taken captive.

nasb@Isaiah:23:15 @Because you have said, "We have made a covenant with death, And with Sheol we have made a pact. The overwhelming scourge will not reach us when it passes by, For we have made falsehood our refuge and we have concealed ourselves with deception."

nasb@Isaiah:23:16 @Therefore thus says the Lord GOD, " Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a tested stone, A costly cornerstone for the foundation, firmly placed. He who believes in it will not be disturbed.

nasb@Isaiah:23:18" @Your covenant with death will be canceled, And your pact with Sheol will not stand; When the overwhelming scourge passes through, Then you become its trampling place.

nasb@Isaiah:23:19" @As often as it passes through, it will seize you; For morning after morning it will pass through, anytime during the day or night, And it will be sheer terror to understand what it means."

nasb@Isaiah:23:20 @The bed is too short on which to stretch out, And the blanket is too small to wrap oneself in.

nasb@Isaiah:23:21 @For the LORD will rise up as at Mount Perazim, He will be stirred up as in the valley of Gibeon, To do His task, His unusual task, And to work His work, His extraordinary work.

nasb@Isaiah:23:22 @And now do not carry on as scoffers, Or your fetters will be made stronger; For I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts Of decisive destruction on all the earth.

nasb@Isaiah:23:27 @For dill is not threshed with a threshing sledge, Nor is the cartwheel driven over cummin; But dill is beaten out with a rod, and cummin with a club.

nasb@Isaiah:23:28 @Grain for bread is crushed, Indeed, he does not continue to thresh it forever. Because the wheel of his cart and his horses eventually damage it, He does not thresh it longer.

nasb@Isaiah:24:2 @I will bring distress to Ariel, And she will be a city of lamenting and mourning; And she will be like an Ariel to me.

nasb@Isaiah:24:4 @Then you will be brought low; From the earth you will speak, And from the dust where you are prostrate Your words will come. Your voice will also be like that of a spirit from the ground, And your speech will whisper from the dust.

nasb@Isaiah:24:5 @But the multitude of your enemies will become like fine dust, And the multitude of the ruthless ones like the chaff which blows away; And it will happen instantly, suddenly.

nasb@Isaiah:24:6 @From the LORD of hosts you will be punished with thunder and earthquake and loud noise, With whirlwind and tempest and the flame of a consuming fire.

nasb@Isaiah:24:7 @And the multitude of all the nations who wage war against Ariel, Even all who wage war against her and her stronghold, and who distress her, Will be like a dream, a vision of the night.

nasb@Isaiah:24:8 @It will be as when a hungry man dreams-- And behold, he is eating; But when he awakens, his hunger is not satisfied, Or as when a thirsty man dreams-- And behold, he is drinking, But when he awakens, behold, he is faint And his thirst is not quenched. Thus the multitude of all the nations will be Who wage war against Mount Zion.

nasb@Isaiah:24:9 @Be delayed and wait, Blind yourselves and be blind; They become drunk, but not with wine, They stagger, but not with strong drink.

nasb@Isaiah:24:11 @The entire vision will be to you like the words of a sealed book, which when they give it to the one who is literate, saying, "Please read this," he will say, "I cannot, for it is sealed."

nasb@Isaiah:24:12 @Then the book will be given to the one who is illiterate, saying, "Please read this." And he will say, "I cannot read."

nasb@Isaiah:24:13 @Then the Lord said, "Because this people draw near with their words And honor Me with their lip service, But they remove their hearts far from Me, And their reverence for Me consists of tradition learned by rote,

nasb@Isaiah:24:14 @Therefore behold, I will once again deal marvelously with this people, wondrously marvelous; And the wisdom of their wise men will perish, And the discernment of their discerning men will be concealed."

nasb@Isaiah:24:16 @You turn things around! Shall the potter be considered as equal with the clay, That what is made would say to its maker, "He did not make me"; Or what is formed say to him who formed it, "He has no understanding"?

nasb@Isaiah:24:17 @Is it not yet just a little while Before Lebanon will be turned into a fertile field, And the fertile field will be considered as a forest?

nasb@Isaiah:24:20 @For the ruthless will come to an end and the scorner will be finished, Indeed all who are intent on doing evil will be cut off;

nasb@Isaiah:24:21 @Who cause a person to be indicted by a word, And ensnare him who adjudicates at the gate, And defraud the one in the right with meaningless arguments.

nasb@Isaiah:24:22 @Therefore thus says the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob- "Jacob shall not now be ashamed, nor shall his face now turn pale;

nasb@Isaiah:25:1" @Woe to the rebellious children," declares the LORD, "Who execute a plan, but not Mine, And make an alliance, but not of My Spirit, In order to add sin to sin;

nasb@Isaiah:25:3" @Therefore the safety of Pharaoh will be your shame And the shelter in the shadow of Egypt, your humiliation.

nasb@Isaiah:25:5" @Everyone will be ashamed because of a people who cannot profit them, Who are not for help or profit, but for shame and also for reproach."

nasb@Isaiah:25:6 @The oracle concerning the beasts of the Negev. Through a land of distress and anguish, From where come lioness and lion, viper and flying serpent, They carry their riches on the backs of young donkeys And their treasures on camels' humps, To a people who cannot profit them;

nasb@Isaiah:25:7 @Even Egypt, whose help is vain and empty. Therefore, I have called her " Rahab who has been exterminated."

nasb@Isaiah:25:8 @Now go, write it on a tablet before them And inscribe it on a scroll, That it may serve in the time to come As a witness forever.

nasb@Isaiah:25:9 @For this is a rebellious people, false sons, Sons who refuse to listen To the instruction of the LORD;

nasb@Isaiah:25:13 @Therefore this iniquity will be to you Like a breach about to fall, A bulge in a high wall, Whose collapse comes suddenly in an instant,

nasb@Isaiah:25:14 @Whose collapse is like the smashing of a potter's jar, So ruthlessly shattered That a sherd will not be found among its pieces To take fire from a hearth Or to scoop water from a cistern."

nasb@Isaiah:25:15 @For thus the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel, has said, "In repentance and rest you will be saved, In quietness and trust is your strength." But you were not willing,

nasb@Isaiah:25:16 @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.

nasb@Isaiah:25:18 @Therefore the LORD longs to be gracious to you, And therefore He waits on high to have compassion on you. For the LORD is a God of justice; How blessed are all those who long for Him.

nasb@Isaiah:25:19 @O people in Zion, inhabitant in Jerusalem, you will weep no longer. He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry; when He hears it, He will answer you.

nasb@Isaiah:25:20 @Although the Lord has given you bread of privation and water of oppression, He, your Teacher will no longer hide Himself, but your eyes will behold your Teacher.

nasb@Isaiah:25:21 @Your ears will hear a word behind you, "This is the way, walk in it," whenever you turn to the right or to the left.

nasb@Isaiah:25:22 @And you will defile your graven images overlaid with silver, and your molten images plated with gold. You will scatter them as an impure thing, and say to them, " Be gone!"

nasb@Isaiah:25:23 @Then He will give you rain for the seed which you will sow in the ground, and bread from the yield of the ground, and it will be rich and plenteous; on that day your livestock will graze in a roomy pasture.

nasb@Isaiah:25:24 @Also the oxen and the donkeys which work the ground will eat salted fodder, which has been winnowed with shovel and fork.

nasb@Isaiah:25:25 @On every lofty mountain and on every high hill there will be streams running with water on the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.

nasb@Isaiah:25:26 @The light of the moon will be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven days, on the day the LORD binds up the fracture of His people and heals the bruise He has inflicted.

nasb@Isaiah:25:27 @Behold, the name of the LORD comes from a remote place; Burning is His anger and dense is His smoke; His lips are filled with indignation And His tongue is like a consuming fire;

nasb@Isaiah:25:30 @And the LORD will cause His voice of authority to be heard, And the descending of His arm to be seen in fierce anger, And in the flame of a consuming fire In cloudburst, downpour and hailstones.

nasb@Isaiah:25:31 @For at the voice of the LORD Assyria will be terrified, When He strikes with the rod.

nasb@Isaiah:25:32 @And every blow of the rod of punishment, Which the LORD will lay on him, Will be with the music of tambourines and lyres; And in battles, brandishing weapons, He will fight them.

nasb@Isaiah:25:33 @For Topheth has long been ready, Indeed, it has been prepared for the king. He has made it deep and large, A pyre of fire with plenty of wood; The breath of the LORD, like a torrent of brimstone, sets it afire.

nasb@Isaiah:26:1 @Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help And rely on horses, And trust in chariots because they are many And in horsemen because they are very strong, But they do not look to the Holy One of Israel, nor seek the LORD!

nasb@Isaiah:26:4 @For thus says the LORD to me, "As the lion or the young lion growls over his prey, Against which a band of shepherds is called out, And he will not be terrified at their voice nor disturbed at their noise, So will the LORD of hosts come down to wage war on Mount Zion and on its hill."

nasb@Isaiah:26:8 @And the Assyrian will fall by a sword not of man, And a sword not of man will devour him. So he will not escape the sword, And his young men will become forced laborers.

nasb@Isaiah:26:9" @His rock will pass away because of panic, And his princes will be terrified at the standard," Declares the LORD, whose fire is in Zion and whose furnace is in Jerusalem.

nasb@Isaiah:27:1 @Behold, a king will reign righteously And princes will rule justly.

nasb@Isaiah:27:2 @Each will be like a refuge from the wind And a shelter from the storm, Like streams of water in a dry country, Like the shade of a huge rock in a parched land.

nasb@Isaiah:27:3 @Then the eyes of those who see will not be blinded, And the ears of those who hear will listen.

nasb@Isaiah:27:5 @No longer will the fool be called noble, Or the rogue be spoken of as generous.

nasb@Isaiah:27:10 @Within a year and a few days You will be troubled, O complacent daughters; For the vintage is ended, And the fruit gathering will not come.

nasb@Isaiah:27:11 @Tremble, you women who are at ease; Be troubled, you complacent daughters; Strip, undress and put sackcloth on your waist,

nasb@Isaiah:27:12 @Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine,

nasb@Isaiah:27:14 @Because the palace has been abandoned, the populated city forsaken. Hill and watch-tower have become caves forever, A delight for wild donkeys, a pasture for flocks;

nasb@Isaiah:27:15 @Until the Spirit is poured out upon us from on high, And the wilderness becomes a fertile field, And the fertile field is considered as a forest.

nasb@Isaiah:27:17 @And the work of righteousness will be peace, And the service of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever.

nasb@Isaiah:27:18 @Then my people will live in a peaceful habitation, And in secure dwellings and in undisturbed resting places;

nasb@Isaiah:28:20 @Look upon Zion, the city of our appointed feasts; Your eyes will see Jerusalem, an undisturbed habitation, A tent which will not be folded; Its stakes will never be pulled up, Nor any of its cords be torn apart.

nasb@Isaiah:28:21 @But there the majestic One, the LORD, will be for us A place of rivers and wide canals On which no boat with oars will go, And on which no mighty ship will pass--

nasb@Isaiah:28:23 @Your tackle hangs slack; It cannot hold the base of its mast firmly, Nor spread out the sail. Then the prey of an abundant spoil will be divided; The lame will take the plunder.

nasb@Isaiah:28:24 @And no resident will say, "I am sick"; The people who dwell there will be forgiven their iniquity.

nasb@Isaiah:29:7 @Wild oxen will also fall with them And young bulls with strong ones; Thus their land will be soaked with blood, And their dust become greasy with fat.

nasb@Jeremiah:25:44" @ I will punish Bel in Babylon, And I will make what he has swallowed come out of his mouth; And the nations will no longer stream to him. Even the wall of Babylon has fallen down!

nasb@Jeremiah:25:46" @Now so that your heart does not grow faint, And you are not afraid at the report that will be heard in the land-- For the report will come one year, And after that another report in another year, And violence will be in the land With ruler against ruler--

nasb@Jeremiah:25:47 @Therefore behold, days are coming When I will punish the idols of Babylon; And her whole land will be put to shame And all her slain will fall in her midst.

nasb@Jeremiah:25:50 @You who have escaped the sword, Depart! Do not stay! Remember the LORD from afar, And let Jerusalem come to your mind.

nasb@Jeremiah:25:51 @We are ashamed because we have heard reproach; Disgrace has covered our faces, For aliens have entered The holy places of the LORD'S house.

nasb@Jeremiah:25:52" @Therefore behold, the days are coming," declares the LORD, "When I will punish her idols, And the mortally wounded will groan throughout her land.

nasb@Jeremiah:25:56 @For the destroyer is coming against her, against Babylon, And her mighty men will be captured, Their bows are shattered; For the LORD is a God of recompense, He will fully repay.

nasb@Jeremiah:25:58 @Thus says the LORD of hosts, "The broad wall of Babylon will be completely razed And her high gates will be set on fire; So the peoples will toil for nothing, And the nations become exhausted only for fire."

nasb@Jeremiah:25:60 @So Jeremiah wrote in a single scroll all the calamity which would come upon Babylon, that is, all these words which have been written concerning Babylon.

nasb@Jeremiah:25:62 @and say, 'You, O LORD, have promised concerning this place to cut it off, so that there will be nothing dwelling in it, whether man or beast, but it will be a perpetual desolation.'

nasb@Jeremiah:25:64 @and say, 'Just so shall Babylon sink down and not rise again because of the calamity that I am going to bring upon her; and they will become exhausted.'" Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.

nasb@Jeremiah:26:1 @Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

nasb@Jeremiah:26:3 @For through the anger of the LORD this came about in Jerusalem and Judah until He cast them out from His presence. And Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

nasb@Jeremiah:26:7 @Then the city was broken into, and all the men of war fled and went forth from the city at night by way of the gate between the two walls which was by the king's garden, though the Chaldeans were all around the city. And they went by way of the Arabah.

nasb@Jeremiah:26:10 @The king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and he also slaughtered all the princes of Judah in Riblah.

nasb@Jeremiah:26:16 @But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left some of the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and plowmen.

nasb@Jeremiah:26:17 @Now the bronze pillars which belonged to the house of the LORD and the stands and the bronze sea, which were in the house of the LORD, the Chaldeans broke in pieces and carried all their bronze to Babylon.

nasb@Jeremiah:26:20 @The two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve bronze bulls that were under the sea, and the stands, which King Solomon had made for the house of the LORD--the bronze of all these vessels was beyond weight.

nasb@Jeremiah:26:23 @There were ninety-six exposed pomegranates; all the pomegranates numbered a hundred on the network all around.

nasb@Jeremiah:26:25 @He also took from the city one official who was overseer of the men of war, and seven of the king's advisers who were found in the city, and the scribe of the commander of the army who mustered the people of the land, and sixty men of the people of the land who were found in the midst of the city.

nasb@Lamentations:1:1 @How lonely sits the city That was full of people! She has become like a widow Who was once great among the nations! She who was a princess among the provinces Has become a forced laborer!

nasb@Lamentations:1:2 @She weeps bitterly in the night And her tears are on her cheeks; She has none to comfort her Among all her lovers. All her friends have dealt treacherously with her; They have become her enemies.

nasb@Lamentations:1:4 @The roads of Zion are in mourning Because no one comes to the appointed feasts. All her gates are desolate; Her priests are groaning, Her virgins are afflicted, And she herself is bitter.

nasb@Lamentations:1:5 @Her adversaries have become her masters, Her enemies prosper; For the LORD has caused her grief Because of the multitude of her transgressions; Her little ones have gone away As captives before the adversary.

nasb@Lamentations:1:6 @All her majesty Has departed from the daughter of Zion; Her princes have become like deer That have found no pasture; And they have fled without strength Before the pursuer.

nasb@Lamentations:1:7 @In the days of her affliction and homelessness Jerusalem remembers all her precious things That were from the days of old, When her people fell into the hand of the adversary And no one helped her. The adversaries saw her, They mocked at her ruin.

nasb@Lamentations:1:8 @Jerusalem sinned greatly, Therefore she has become an unclean thing. All who honored her despise her Because they have seen her nakedness; Even she herself groans and turns away.

nasb@Lamentations:1:16" @For these things I weep; My eyes run down with water; Because far from me is a comforter, One who restores my soul. My children are desolate Because the enemy has prevailed."

nasb@Lamentations:1:17 @Zion stretches out her hands; There is no one to comfort her; The LORD has commanded concerning Jacob That the ones round about him should be his adversaries; Jerusalem has become an unclean thing among them.

nasb@Lamentations:1:18" @The LORD is righteous; For I have rebelled against His command; Hear now, all peoples, And behold my pain; My virgins and my young men Have gone into captivity.

nasb@Lamentations:1:20" @See, O LORD, for I am in distress; My spirit is greatly troubled; My heart is overturned within me, For I have been very rebellious. In the street the sword slays; In the house it is like death.

nasb@Lamentations:1:21" @They have heard that I groan; There is no one to comfort me; All my enemies have heard of my calamity; They are glad that You have done it. Oh, that You would bring the day which You have proclaimed, That they may become like me.

nasb@Lamentations:1:22" @Let all their wickedness come before You; And deal with them as You have dealt with me For all my transgressions; For my groans are many and my heart is faint."

nasb@Lamentations:2:1 @How the Lord has covered the daughter of Zion With a cloud in His anger! He has cast from heaven to earth The glory of Israel, And has not remembered His footstool In the day of His anger.

nasb@Lamentations:2:3 @In fierce anger He has cut off All the strength of Israel; He has drawn back His right hand From before the enemy. And He has burned in Jacob like a flaming fire Consuming round about.

nasb@Lamentations:2:4 @He has bent His bow like an enemy; He has set His right hand like an adversary And slain all that were pleasant to the eye; In the tent of the daughter of Zion He has poured out His wrath like fire.

nasb@Lamentations:2:5 @The Lord has become like an enemy. He has swallowed up Israel; He has swallowed up all its palaces, He has destroyed its strongholds And multiplied in the daughter of Judah Mourning and moaning.

nasb@Lamentations:2:6 @And He has violently treated His tabernacle like a garden booth; He has destroyed His appointed meeting place. The LORD has caused to be forgotten The appointed feast and sabbath in Zion, And He has despised king and priest In the indignation of His anger.

nasb@Lamentations:2:11 @My eyes fail because of tears, My spirit is greatly troubled; My heart is poured out on the earth Because of the destruction of the daughter of my people, When little ones and infants faint In the streets of the city.

nasb@Lamentations:2:15 @All who pass along the way Clap their hands in derision at you; They hiss and shake their heads At the daughter of Jerusalem, "Is this the city of which they said, ' The perfection of beauty, A joy to all the earth'?"

nasb@Lamentations:2:20 @See, O LORD, and look! With whom have You dealt thus? Should women eat their offspring, The little ones who were born healthy? Should priest and prophet be slain In the sanctuary of the Lord?

nasb@Lamentations:3:1 @I am the man who has seen affliction Because of the rod of His wrath.

nasb@Lamentations:3:5 @He has besieged and encompassed me with bitterness and hardship.

nasb@Lamentations:3:6 @In dark places He has made me dwell, Like those who have long been dead.

nasb@Lamentations:3:10 @He is to me like a bear lying in wait, Like a lion in secret places.

nasb@Lamentations:3:12 @He bent His bow And set me as a target for the arrow.

nasb@Lamentations:3:14 @I have become a laughingstock to all my people, Their mocking song all the day.

nasb@Lamentations:3:17 @My soul has been rejected from peace; I have forgotten happiness.

nasb@Lamentations:3:48 @My eyes run down with streams of water Because of the destruction of the daughter of my people.

nasb@Lamentations:3:51 @My eyes bring pain to my soul Because of all the daughters of my city.

nasb@Lamentations:3:65 @You will give them hardness of heart, Your curse will be on them.

nasb@Lamentations:4:1 @How dark the gold has become, How the pure gold has changed! The sacred stones are poured out At the corner of every street.

nasb@Lamentations:4:3 @Even jackals offer the breast, They nurse their young; But the daughter of my people has become cruel Like ostriches in the wilderness.

nasb@Lamentations:4:4 @The tongue of the infant cleaves To the roof of its mouth because of thirst; The little ones ask for bread, But no one breaks it for them.

nasb@Lamentations:4:8 @Their appearance is blacker than soot, They are not recognized in the streets; Their skin is shriveled on their bones, It is withered, it has become like wood.

nasb@Lamentations:4:9 @Better are those slain with the sword Than those slain with hunger; For they pine away, being stricken For lack of the fruits of the field.

nasb@Lamentations:4:10 @The hands of compassionate women Boiled their own children; They became food for them Because of the destruction of the daughter of my people.

nasb@Lamentations:4:12 @The kings of the earth did not believe, Nor did any of the inhabitants of the world, That the adversary and the enemy Could enter the gates of Jerusalem.

nasb@Lamentations:4:21 @Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, Who dwells in the land of Uz; But the cup will come around to you as well, You will become drunk and make yourself naked.

nasb@Lamentations:4:22 @The punishment of your iniquity has been completed, O daughter of Zion; He will exile you no longer. But He will punish your iniquity, O daughter of Edom; He will expose your sins!

nasb@Lamentations:5:1 @Remember, O LORD, what has befallen us; Look, and see our reproach!

nasb@Lamentations:5:2 @Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers, Our houses to aliens.

nasb@Lamentations:5:3 @We have become orphans without a father, Our mothers are like widows.

nasb@Lamentations:5:9 @We get our bread at the risk of our lives Because of the sword in the wilderness.

nasb@Lamentations:5:10 @Our skin has become as hot as an oven, Because of the burning heat of famine.

nasb@Lamentations:5:15 @The joy of our hearts has ceased; Our dancing has been turned into mourning.

nasb@Lamentations:5:17 @Because of this our heart is faint, Because of these things our eyes are dim;

nasb@Lamentations:5:18 @Because of Mount Zion which lies desolate, Foxes prowl in it.

nasb@Lamentations:5:21 @Restore us to You, O LORD, that we may be restored; Renew our days as of old,

nasb@Ezekiel:1:4 @As I looked, behold, a storm wind was coming from the north, a great cloud with fire flashing forth continually and a bright light around it, and in its midst something like glowing metal in the midst of the fire.

nasb@Ezekiel:1:5 @Within it there were figures resembling four living beings. And this was their appearance- they had human form.

nasb@Ezekiel:1:11 @Such were their faces. Their wings were spread out above; each had two touching another being, and two covering their bodies.

nasb@Ezekiel:1:13 @In the midst of the living beings there was something that looked like burning coals of fire, like torches darting back and forth among the living beings. The fire was bright, and lightning was flashing from the fire.

nasb@Ezekiel:1:14 @And the living beings ran to and fro like bolts of lightning.

nasb@Ezekiel:1:15 @Now as I looked at the living beings, behold, there was one wheel on the earth beside the living beings, for each of the four of them.

nasb@Ezekiel:1:16 @The appearance of the wheels and their workmanship was like sparkling beryl, and all four of them had the same form, their appearance and workmanship being as if one wheel were within another.

nasb@Ezekiel:1:19 @Whenever the living beings moved, the wheels moved with them. And whenever the living beings rose from the earth, the wheels rose also.

nasb@Ezekiel:1:20 @Wherever the spirit was about to go, they would go in that direction. And the wheels rose close beside them; for the spirit of the living beings was in the wheels.

nasb@Ezekiel:1:21 @Whenever those went, these went; and whenever those stood still, these stood still. And whenever those rose from the earth, the wheels rose close beside them; for the spirit of the living beings was in the wheels.

nasb@Ezekiel:1:22 @Now over the heads of the living beings there was something like an expanse, like the awesome gleam of crystal, spread out over their heads.

nasb@Ezekiel:2:3 @Then He said to me, "Son of man, I am sending you to the sons of Israel, to a rebellious people who have rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me to this very day.

nasb@Ezekiel:2:5" @As for them, whether they listen or not--for they are a rebellious house--they will know that a prophet has been among them.

nasb@Ezekiel:2:6" @And you, son of man, neither fear them nor fear their words, though thistles and thorns are with you and you sit on scorpions; neither fear their words nor be dismayed at their presence, for they are a rebellious house.

nasb@Ezekiel:2:7" @But you shall speak My words to them whether they listen or not, for they are rebellious.

nasb@Ezekiel:2:8" @Now you, son of man, listen to what I am speaking to you; do not be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth and eat what I am giving you."

nasb@Ezekiel:2:9 @Then I looked, and behold, a hand was extended to me; and lo, a scroll was in it.

nasb@Ezekiel:2:10 @When He spread it out before me, it was written on the front and back, and written on it were lamentations, mourning and woe.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:5" @For you are not being sent to a people of unintelligible speech or difficult language, but to the house of Israel,

nasb@Ezekiel:3:7 @yet the house of Israel will not be willing to listen to you, since they are not willing to listen to Me. Surely the whole house of Israel is stubborn and obstinate.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:8" @Behold, I have made your face as hard as their faces and your forehead as hard as their foreheads.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:9" @Like emery harder than flint I have made your forehead. Do not be afraid of them or be dismayed before them, though they are a rebellious house."

nasb@Ezekiel:3:12 @Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard a great rumbling sound behind me, "Blessed be the glory of the LORD in His place."

nasb@Ezekiel:3:13 @And I heard the sound of the wings of the living beings touching one another and the sound of the wheels beside them, even a great rumbling sound.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:15 @Then I came to the exiles who lived beside the river Chebar at Tel-abib, and I sat there seven days where they were living, causing consternation among them.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:20" @Again, when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I place an obstacle before him, he will die; since you have not warned him, he shall die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood I will require at your hand.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:21" @However, if you have warned the righteous man that the righteous should not sin and he does not sin, he shall surely live because he took warning; and you have delivered yourself."

nasb@Ezekiel:3:23 @So I got up and went out to the plain; and behold, the glory of the LORD was standing there, like the glory which I saw by the river Chebar, and I fell on my face.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:26" @Moreover, I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth so that you will be mute and cannot be a man who rebukes them, for they are a rebellious house.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:27" @But when I speak to you, I will open your mouth and you will say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD.' He who hears, let him hear; and he who refuses, let him refuse; for they are a rebellious house.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:4" @Now you son of man, get yourself a brick, place it before you and inscribe a city on it, Jerusalem.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:3" @Then get yourself an iron plate and set it up as an iron wall between you and the city, and set your face toward it so that it is under siege, and besiege it. This is a sign to the house of Israel.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:4" @As for you, lie down on your left side and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel on it; you shall bear their iniquity for the number of days that you lie on it.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:5" @For I have assigned you a number of days corresponding to the years of their iniquity, three hundred and ninety days; thus you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:6" @When you have completed these, you shall lie down a second time, but on your right side and bear the iniquity of the house of Judah; I have assigned it to you for forty days, a day for each year.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:8" @Now behold, I will put ropes on you so that you cannot turn from one side to the other until you have completed the days of your siege.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:9" @But as for you, take wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet and spelt, put them in one vessel and make them into bread for yourself; you shall eat it according to the number of the days that you lie on your side, three hundred and ninety days.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:10" @Your food which you eat shall be twenty shekels a day by weight; you shall eat it from time to time.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:11" @The water you drink shall be the sixth part of a hin by measure; you shall drink it from time to time.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:14 @But I said, " Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I have never been defiled; for from my youth until now I have never eaten what died of itself or was torn by beasts, nor has any unclean meat ever entered my mouth."

nasb@Ezekiel:3:16 @Moreover, He said to me, "Son of man, behold, I am going to break the staff of bread in Jerusalem, and they will eat bread by weight and with anxiety, and drink water by measure and in horror,

nasb@Ezekiel:3:17 @because bread and water will be scarce; and they will be appalled with one another and waste away in their iniquity.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:5" @As for you, son of man, take a sharp sword; take and use it as a barber's razor on your head and beard. Then take scales for weighing and divide the hair.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:2" @One third you shall burn in the fire at the center of the city, when the days of the siege are completed. Then you shall take one third and strike it with the sword all around the city, and one third you shall scatter to the wind; and I will unsheathe a sword behind them.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:3" @Take also a few in number from them and bind them in the edges of your robes.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:6 @'But she has rebelled against My ordinances more wickedly than the nations and against My statutes more than the lands which surround her; for they have rejected My ordinances and have not walked in My statutes.'

nasb@Ezekiel:3:7" @Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD, 'Because you have more turmoil than the nations which surround you and have not walked in My statutes, nor observed My ordinances, nor observed the ordinances of the nations which surround you,'

nasb@Ezekiel:3:8 @therefore, thus says the Lord GOD, 'Behold, I, even I, am against you, and I will execute judgments among you in the sight of the nations.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:9 @'And because of all your abominations, I will do among you what I have not done, and the like of which I will never do again.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:11 @'So as I live,' declares the Lord GOD, 'surely, because you have defiled My sanctuary with all your detestable idols and with all your abominations, therefore I will also withdraw, and My eye will have no pity and I will not spare.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:15 @'So it will be a reproach, a reviling, a warning and an object of horror to the nations who surround you when I execute judgments against you in anger, wrath and raging rebukes. I, the LORD, have spoken.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:17 @'Moreover, I will send on you famine and wild beasts, and they will bereave you of children; plague and bloodshed also will pass through you, and I will bring the sword on you. I, the LORD, have spoken.'"

nasb@Ezekiel:3:3 @and say, 'Mountains of Israel, listen to the word of the Lord GOD! Thus says the Lord GOD to the mountains, the hills, the ravines and the valleys- "Behold, I Myself am going to bring a sword on you, and I will destroy your high places.

nasb@Ezekiel:4:1 @It came about in the sixth year, on the fifth day of the sixth month, as I was sitting in my house with the elders of Judah sitting before me, that the hand of the Lord GOD fell on me there.

nasb@Ezekiel:4:2 @Then I looked, and behold, a likeness as the appearance of a man; from His loins and downward there was the appearance of fire, and from His loins and upward the appearance of brightness, like the appearance of glowing metal.

nasb@Ezekiel:4:3 @He stretched out the form of a hand and caught me by a lock of my head; and the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the north gate of the inner court, where the seat of the idol of jealousy, which provokes to jealousy, was located.

nasb@Ezekiel:4:4 @And behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, like the appearance which I saw in the plain.

nasb@Ezekiel:4:5 @Then He said to me, "Son of man, raise your eyes now toward the north." So I raised my eyes toward the north, and behold, to the north of the altar gate was this idol of jealousy at the entrance.

nasb@Ezekiel:4:6 @And He said to me, "Son of man, do you see what they are doing, the great abominations which the house of Israel are committing here, so that I would be far from My sanctuary? But yet you will see still greater abominations."

nasb@Ezekiel:4:7 @Then He brought me to the entrance of the court, and when I looked, behold, a hole in the wall.

nasb@Ezekiel:4:8 @He said to me, "Son of man, now dig through the wall." So I dug through the wall, and behold, an entrance.

nasb@Ezekiel:4:10 @So I entered and looked, and behold, every form of creeping things and beasts and detestable things, with all the idols of the house of Israel, were carved on the wall all around.

nasb@Ezekiel:4:14 @Then He brought me to the entrance of the gate of the LORD'S house which was toward the north; and behold, women were sitting there weeping for Tammuz.

nasb@Ezekiel:4:16 @Then He brought me into the inner court of the LORD'S house.

nasb@Ezekiel:4:17 @He said to me, "Do you see this, son of man? Is it too light a thing for the house of Judah to commit the abominations which they have committed here, that they have filled the land with violence and provoked Me repeatedly? For behold, they are putting the twig to their nose.

nasb@Ezekiel:5:2 @Behold, six men came from the direction of the upper gate which faces north, each with his shattering weapon in his hand; and among them was a certain man clothed in linen with a writing case at his loins. And they went in and stood beside the bronze altar.

nasb@Ezekiel:5:4 @The LORD said to him, "Go through the midst of the city, even through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and groan over all the abominations which are being committed in its midst."

nasb@Ezekiel:5:6" @Utterly slay old men, young men, maidens, little children, and women, but do not touch any man on whom is the mark; and you shall start from My sanctuary." So they started with the elders who were before the temple.

nasb@Ezekiel:5:11 @Then behold, the man clothed in linen at whose loins was the writing case reported, saying, "I have done just as You have commanded me."

nasb@Ezekiel:6:1 @Then I looked, and behold, in the expanse that was over the heads of the cherubim something like a sapphire stone, in appearance resembling a throne, appeared above them.

nasb@Ezekiel:6:2 @And He spoke to the man clothed in linen and said, "Enter between the whirling wheels under the cherubim and fill your hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim and scatter them over the city." And he entered in my sight.

nasb@Ezekiel:6:6 @It came about when He commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, "Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim," he entered and stood beside a wheel.

nasb@Ezekiel:6:7 @Then the cherub stretched out his hand from between the cherubim to the fire which was between the cherubim, took some and put it into the hands of the one clothed in linen, who took it and went out.

nasb@Ezekiel:6:9 @Then I looked, and behold, four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub; and the appearance of the wheels was like the gleam of a Tarshish stone.

nasb@Ezekiel:6:12 @Their whole body, their backs, their hands, their wings and the wheels were full of eyes all around, the wheels belonging to all four of them.

nasb@Ezekiel:6:15 @Then the cherubim rose up. They are the living beings that I saw by the river Chebar.

nasb@Ezekiel:6:16 @Now when the cherubim moved, the wheels would go beside them; also when the cherubim lifted up their wings to rise from the ground, the wheels would not turn from beside them.

nasb@Ezekiel:6:17 @When the cherubim stood still, the wheels would stand still; and when they rose up, the wheels would rise with them, for the spirit of the living beings was in them.

nasb@Ezekiel:6:19 @When the cherubim departed, they lifted their wings and rose up from the earth in my sight with the wheels beside them; and they stood still at the entrance of the east gate of the LORD'S house, and the glory of the God of Israel hovered over them.

nasb@Ezekiel:6:20 @These are the living beings that I saw beneath the God of Israel by the river Chebar; so I knew that they were cherubim.

nasb@Ezekiel:6:21 @Each one had four faces and each one four wings, and beneath their wings was the form of human hands.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:1 @Moreover, the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the east gate of the LORD'S house which faced eastward. And behold, there were twenty-five men at the entrance of the gate, and among them I saw Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, leaders of the people.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:11" @This city will not be a pot for you, nor will you be flesh in the midst of it, but I will judge you to the border of Israel.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:13 @Now it came about as I prophesied, that Pelatiah son of Benaiah died. Then I fell on my face and cried out with a loud voice and said, " Alas, Lord GOD! Will You bring the remnant of Israel to a complete end?"

nasb@Ezekiel:7:15" @Son of man, your brothers, your relatives, your fellow exiles and the whole house of Israel, all of them, are those to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, 'Go far from the LORD; this land has been given us as a possession.'

nasb@Ezekiel:7:17" @Therefore say, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "I will gather you from the peoples and assemble you out of the countries among which you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel."'

nasb@Ezekiel:7:20 @that they may walk in My statutes and keep My ordinances and do them. Then they will be My people, and I shall be their God.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:22 @Then the cherubim lifted up their wings with the wheels beside them, and the glory of the God of Israel hovered over them.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:2" @Son of man, you live in the midst of the rebellious house, who have eyes to see but do not see, ears to hear but do not hear; for they are a rebellious house.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:3" @Therefore, son of man, prepare for yourself baggage for exile and go into exile by day in their sight; even go into exile from your place to another place in their sight. Perhaps they will understand though they are a rebellious house.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:7 @I did so, as I had been commanded. By day I brought out my baggage like the baggage of an exile. Then in the evening I dug through the wall with my hands; I went out in the dark and carried the baggage on my shoulder in their sight.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:9" @Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to you, ' What are you doing?'

nasb@Ezekiel:7:11" @Say, 'I am a sign to you. As I have done, so it will be done to them; they will go into exile, into captivity.'

nasb@Ezekiel:7:13" @I will also spread My net over him, and he will be caught in My snare. And I will bring him to Babylon in the land of the Chaldeans; yet he will not see it, though he will die there.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:19" @Then say to the people of the land, 'Thus says the Lord GOD concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem in the land of Israel, "They will eat their bread with anxiety and drink their water with horror, because their land will be stripped of its fullness on account of the violence of all who live in it.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:20" @The inhabited cities will be laid waste and the land will be a desolation. So you will know that I am the LORD."'"

nasb@Ezekiel:7:24" @For there will no longer be any false vision or flattering divination within the house of Israel.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:25" @For I the LORD will speak, and whatever word I speak will be performed. It will no longer be delayed, for in your days, O rebellious house, I will speak the word and perform it," declares the Lord GOD.'"

nasb@Ezekiel:7:27" @Son of man, behold, the house of Israel is saying, 'The vision that he sees is for many years from now, and he prophesies of times far off.'

nasb@Ezekiel:7:28" @Therefore say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "None of My words will be delayed any longer. Whatever word I speak will be performed,"'" declares the Lord GOD.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:4" @O Israel, your prophets have been like foxes among ruins.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:8 @Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD, "Because you have spoken falsehood and seen a lie, therefore behold, I am against you," declares the Lord GOD.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:9" @So My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and utter lying divinations. They will have no place in the council of My people, nor will they be written down in the register of the house of Israel, nor will they enter the land of Israel, that you may know that I am the Lord GOD.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:10" @It is definitely because they have misled My people by saying, ' Peace!' when there is no peace. And when anyone builds a wall, behold, they plaster it over with whitewash;

nasb@Ezekiel:7:12" @Behold, when the wall has fallen, will you not be asked, 'Where is the plaster with which you plastered it?'"

nasb@Ezekiel:7:13 @Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD, "I will make a violent wind break out in My wrath. There will also be in My anger a flooding rain and hailstones to consume it in wrath.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:14" @So I will tear down the wall which you plastered over with whitewash and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation is laid bare; and when it falls, you will be consumed in its midst. And you will know that I am the LORD.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:20 @Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I am against your magic bands by which you hunt lives there as birds and I will tear them from your arms; and I will let them go, even those lives whom you hunt as birds.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:21" @I will also tear off your veils and deliver My people from your hands, and they will no longer be in your hands to be hunted; and you will know that I am the LORD.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:22" @Because you disheartened the righteous with falsehood when I did not cause him grief, but have encouraged the wicked not to turn from his wicked way and preserve his life,

nasb@Ezekiel:8:1 @Then some elders of Israel came to me and sat down before me.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:3" @Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their hearts and have put right before their faces the stumbling block of their iniquity. Should I be consulted by them at all?

nasb@Ezekiel:8:4" @Therefore speak to them and tell them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "Any man of the house of Israel who sets up his idols in his heart, puts right before his face the stumbling block of his iniquity, and then comes to the prophet, I the LORD will be brought to give him an answer in the matter in view of the multitude of his idols,

nasb@Ezekiel:8:7" @For anyone of the house of Israel or of the immigrants who stay in Israel who separates himself from Me, sets up his idols in his heart, puts right before his face the stumbling block of his iniquity, and then comes to the prophet to inquire of Me for himself, I the LORD will be brought to answer him in My own person.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:10" @They will bear the punishment of their iniquity; as the iniquity of the inquirer is, so the iniquity of the prophet will be,

nasb@Ezekiel:8:11 @in order that the house of Israel may no longer stray from Me and no longer defile themselves with all their transgressions. Thus they will be My people, and I shall be their God,"' declares the Lord GOD."

nasb@Ezekiel:8:13" @Son of man, if a country sins against Me by committing unfaithfulness, and I stretch out My hand against it, destroy its supply of bread, send famine against it and cut off from it both man and beast,

nasb@Ezekiel:8:15" @If I were to cause wild beasts to pass through the land and they depopulated it, and it became desolate so that no one would pass through it because of the beasts,

nasb@Ezekiel:8:16 @though these three men were in its midst, as I live," declares the Lord GOD, "they could not deliver either their sons or their daughters. They alone would be delivered, but the country would be desolate.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:17" @Or if I should bring a sword on that country and say, 'Let the sword pass through the country and cut off man and beast from it,'

nasb@Ezekiel:8:18 @even though these three men were in its midst, as I live," declares the Lord GOD, "they could not deliver either their sons or their daughters, but they alone would be delivered.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:19" @Or if I should send a plague against that country and pour out My wrath in blood on it to cut off man and beast from it,

nasb@Ezekiel:8:21 @For thus says the Lord GOD, "How much more when I send My four severe judgments against Jerusalem- sword, famine, wild beasts and plague to cut off man and beast from it!

nasb@Ezekiel:8:22" @Yet, behold, survivors will be left in it who will be brought out, both sons and daughters. Behold, they are going to come forth to you and you will see their conduct and actions; then you will be comforted for the calamity which I have brought against Jerusalem for everything which I have brought upon it.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:2" @Son of man, how is the wood of the vine better than any wood of a branch which is among the trees of the forest?

nasb@Ezekiel:8:3" @Can wood be taken from it to make anything, or can men take a peg from it on which to hang any vessel?

nasb@Ezekiel:8:4" @If it has been put into the fire for fuel, and the fire has consumed both of its ends and its middle part has been charred, is it then useful for anything?

nasb@Ezekiel:8:5" @Behold, while it is intact, it is not made into anything. How much less, when the fire has consumed it and it is charred, can it still be made into anything!

nasb@Ezekiel:8:8 @'Thus I will make the land desolate, because they have acted unfaithfully,'" declares the Lord GOD.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:4" @As for your birth, on the day you were born your navel cord was not cut, nor were you washed with water for cleansing; you were not rubbed with salt or even wrapped in cloths.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:7" @I made you numerous like plants of the field. Then you grew up, became tall and reached the age for fine ornaments; your breasts were formed and your hair had grown. Yet you were naked and bare.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:8" @Then I passed by you and saw you, and behold, you were at the time for love; so I spread My skirt over you and covered your nakedness. I also swore to you and entered into a covenant with you so that you became Mine," declares the Lord GOD.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:12" @I also put a ring in your nostril, earrings in your ears and a beautiful crown on your head.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:13" @Thus you were adorned with gold and silver, and your dress was of fine linen, silk and embroidered cloth. You ate fine flour, honey and oil; so you were exceedingly beautiful and advanced to royalty.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:14" @Then your fame went forth among the nations on account of your beauty, for it was perfect because of My splendor which I bestowed on you," declares the Lord GOD.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:15" @But you trusted in your beauty and played the harlot because of your fame, and you poured out your harlotries on every passer-by who might be willing.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:17" @You also took your beautiful jewels made of My gold and of My silver, which I had given you, and made for yourself male images that you might play the harlot with them.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:18" @Then you took your embroidered cloth and covered them, and offered My oil and My incense before them.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:19" @Also My bread which I gave you, fine flour, oil and honey with which I fed you, you would offer before them for a soothing aroma; so it happened," declares the Lord GOD.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:20" @Moreover, you took your sons and daughters whom you had borne to Me and sacrificed them to idols to be devoured. Were your harlotries so small a matter?

nasb@Ezekiel:8:22" @Besides all your abominations and harlotries you did not remember the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare and squirming in your blood.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:25" @You built yourself a high place at the top of every street and made your beauty abominable, and you spread your legs to every passer-by to multiply your harlotry.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:27" @Behold now, I have stretched out My hand against you and diminished your rations. And I delivered you up to the desire of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who are ashamed of your lewd conduct.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:28" @Moreover, you played the harlot with the Assyrians because you were not satisfied; you played the harlot with them and still were not satisfied.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:31" @When you built your shrine at the beginning of every street and made your high place in every square, in disdaining money, you were not like a harlot.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:33" @Men give gifts to all harlots, but you give your gifts to all your lovers to bribe them to come to you from every direction for your harlotries.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:34" @Thus you are different from those women in your harlotries, in that no one plays the harlot as you do, because you give money and no money is given you; thus you are different."

nasb@Ezekiel:8:36 @Thus says the Lord GOD, "Because your lewdness was poured out and your nakedness uncovered through your harlotries with your lovers and with all your detestable idols, and because of the blood of your sons which you gave to idols,

nasb@Ezekiel:8:37 @therefore, behold, I will gather all your lovers with whom you took pleasure, even all those whom you loved and all those whom you hated. So I will gather them against you from every direction and expose your nakedness to them that they may see all your nakedness.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:42" @So I will calm My fury against you and My jealousy will depart from you, and I will be pacified and angry no more.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:43" @Because you have not remembered the days of your youth but have enraged Me by all these things, behold, I in turn will bring your conduct down on your own head," declares the Lord GOD, "so that you will not commit this lewdness on top of all your other abominations.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:44" @Behold, everyone who quotes proverbs will quote this proverb concerning you, saying, 'Like mother, like daughter.'

nasb@Ezekiel:8:49" @Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom- she and her daughters had arrogance, abundant food and careless ease, but she did not help the poor and needy.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:50" @Thus they were haughty and committed abominations before Me. Therefore I removed them when I saw it.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:52" @Also bear your disgrace in that you have made judgment favorable for your sisters. Because of your sins in which you acted more abominably than they, they are more in the right than you. Yes, be also ashamed and bear your disgrace, in that you made your sisters appear righteous.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:54 @in order that you may bear your humiliation and feel ashamed for all that you have done when you become a consolation to them.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:57 @before your wickedness was uncovered, so now you have become the reproach of the daughters of Edom and of all who are around her, of the daughters of the Philistines--those surrounding you who despise you.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:60" @Nevertheless, I will remember My covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:61" @Then you will remember your ways and be ashamed when you receive your sisters, both your older and your younger; and I will give them to you as daughters, but not because of your covenant.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:63 @so that you may remember and be ashamed and never open your mouth anymore because of your humiliation, when I have forgiven you for all that you have done," the Lord GOD declares.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:5" @He also took some of the seed of the land and planted it in fertile soil. He placed it beside abundant waters; he set it like a willow.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:6" @Then it sprouted and became a low, spreading vine with its branches turned toward him, but its roots remained under it. So it became a vine and yielded shoots and sent out branches.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:7" @But there was another great eagle with great wings and much plumage; and behold, this vine bent its roots toward him and sent out its branches toward him from the beds where it was planted, that he might water it.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:8" @It was planted in good soil beside abundant waters, that it might yield branches and bear fruit and become a splendid vine."'

nasb@Ezekiel:8:9" @Say, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "Will it thrive? Will he not pull up its roots and cut off its fruit, so that it withers--so that all its sprouting leaves wither? And neither by great strength nor by many people can it be raised from its roots again.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:10" @Behold, though it is planted, will it thrive? Will it not completely wither as soon as the east wind strikes it--wither on the beds where it grew?"'"

nasb@Ezekiel:8:12" @Say now to the rebellious house, 'Do you not know what these things mean?' Say, 'Behold, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, took its king and princes and brought them to him in Babylon.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:15 @'But he rebelled against him by sending his envoys to Egypt that they might give him horses and many troops. Will he succeed? Will he who does such things escape? Can he indeed break the covenant and escape?

nasb@Ezekiel:8:18 @'Now he despised the oath by breaking the covenant, and behold, he pledged his allegiance, yet did all these things; he shall not escape.'"

nasb@Ezekiel:8:20" @I will spread My net over him, and he will be caught in My snare. Then I will bring him to Babylon and enter into judgment with him there regarding the unfaithful act which he has committed against Me.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:4" @Behold, all souls are Mine; the soul of the father as well as the soul of the son is Mine. The soul who sins will die.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:7 @if a man does not oppress anyone, but restores to the debtor his pledge, does not commit robbery, but gives his bread to the hungry and covers the naked with clothing,

nasb@Ezekiel:8:13 @he lends money on interest and takes increase; will he live? He will not live! He has committed all these abominations, he will surely be put to death; his blood will be on his own head.

nasb@Daniel:1:20 @As for every matter of wisdom and understanding about which the king consulted them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and conjurers who were in all his realm.

nasb@Daniel:2:5 @The king replied to the Chaldeans, "The command from me is firm- if you do not make known to me the dream and its interpretation, you will be torn limb from limb and your houses will be made a rubbish heap.

nasb@Daniel:2:9 @that if you do not make the dream known to me, there is only one decree for you. For you have agreed together to speak lying and corrupt words before me until the situation is changed; therefore tell me the dream, that I may know that you can declare to me its interpretation."

nasb@Daniel:2:28" @However, there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, and He has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will take place in the latter days. This was your dream and the visions in your mind while on your bed.

nasb@Daniel:2:30" @But as for me, this mystery has not been revealed to me for any wisdom residing in me more than in any other living man, but for the purpose of making the interpretation known to the king, and that you may understand the thoughts of your mind.

nasb@Daniel:2:31" @You, O king, were looking and behold, there was a single great statue; that statue, which was large and of extraordinary splendor, was standing in front of you, and its appearance was awesome.

nasb@Daniel:2:36" @This was the dream; now we will tell its interpretation before the king.

nasb@Daniel:2:38 @and wherever the sons of men dwell, or the beasts of the field, or the birds of the sky, He has given them into your hand and has caused you to rule over them all. You are the head of gold.

nasb@Daniel:2:40" @Then there will be a fourth kingdom as strong as iron; inasmuch as iron crushes and shatters all things, so, like iron that breaks in pieces, it will crush and break all these in pieces.

nasb@Daniel:2:41" @In that you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter's clay and partly of iron, it will be a divided kingdom; but it will have in it the toughness of iron, inasmuch as you saw the iron mixed with common clay.

nasb@Daniel:2:42" @As the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of pottery, so some of the kingdom will be strong and part of it will be brittle.

nasb@Daniel:2:44" @In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which will never be destroyed, and that kingdom will not be left for another people; it will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, but it will itself endure forever.

nasb@Daniel:3:15" @Now if you are ready, at the moment you hear the sound of the horn, flute, lyre, trigon, psaltery and bagpipe and all kinds of music, to fall down and worship the image that I have made, very well.

nasb@Daniel:3:16 @Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego replied to the king, "O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to give you an answer concerning this matter.

nasb@Daniel:3:17" @If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the furnace of blazing fire; and He will deliver us out of your hand, O king.

nasb@Daniel:3:19 @Then Nebuchadnezzar was filled with wrath, and his facial expression was altered toward Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego. He answered by giving orders to heat the furnace seven times more than it was usually heated.

nasb@Daniel:3:20 @He commanded certain valiant warriors who were in his army to tie up Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego in order to cast them into the furnace of blazing fire.

nasb@Daniel:3:22 @For this reason, because the king's command was urgent and the furnace had been made extremely hot, the flame of the fire slew those men who carried up Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego.

nasb@Daniel:3:23 @But these three men, Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, fell into the midst of the furnace of blazing fire still tied up.

nasb@Daniel:3:26 @Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the door of the furnace of blazing fire; he responded and said, "Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, come out, you servants of the Most High God, and come here!" Then Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego came out of the midst of the fire.

nasb@Daniel:3:28 @Nebuchadnezzar responded and said, "Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, who has sent His angel and delivered His servants who put their trust in Him, violating the king's command, and yielded up their bodies so as not to serve or worship any god except their own God.

nasb@Daniel:3:13 @'I was looking in the visions in my mind as I lay on my bed, and behold, an angelic watcher, a holy one, descended from heaven.

nasb@Daniel:3:14 @'He shouted out and spoke as follows- " Chop down the tree and cut off its branches, Strip off its foliage and scatter its fruit; Let the beasts flee from under it And the birds from its branches.

nasb@Daniel:3:16" @Let his mind be changed from that of a man And let a beast's mind be given to him, And let seven periods of time pass over him.

nasb@Daniel:3:17" @This sentence is by the decree of the angelic watchers And the decision is a command of the holy ones, In order that the living may know That the Most High is ruler over the realm of mankind, And bestows it on whom He wishes And sets over it the lowliest of men."

nasb@Daniel:3:18 @'This is the dream which I, King Nebuchadnezzar, have seen. Now you, Belteshazzar, tell me its interpretation, inasmuch as none of the wise men of my kingdom is able to make known to me the interpretation; but you are able, for a spirit of the holy gods is in you.'

nasb@Daniel:3:19" @Then Daniel, whose name is Belteshazzar, was appalled for a while as his thoughts alarmed him. The king responded and said, 'Belteshazzar, do not let the dream or its interpretation alarm you.' Belteshazzar replied, ' My lord, if only the dream applied to those who hate you and its interpretation to your adversaries!

nasb@Daniel:3:22 @it is you, O king; for you have become great and grown strong, and your majesty has become great and reached to the sky and your dominion to the end of the earth.

nasb@Daniel:3:23 @'In that the king saw an angelic watcher, a holy one, descending from heaven and saying, " Chop down the tree and destroy it; yet leave the stump with its roots in the ground, but with a band of iron and bronze around it in the new grass of the field, and let him be drenched with the dew of heaven, and let him share with the beasts of the field until seven periods of time pass over him,"

nasb@Daniel:3:26 @'And in that it was commanded to leave the stump with the roots of the tree, your kingdom will be assured to you after you recognize that it is Heaven that rules.

nasb@Daniel:3:27 @'Therefore, O king, may my advice be pleasing to you- break away now from your sins by doing righteousness and from your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor, in case there may be a prolonging of your prosperity.'

nasb@Daniel:3:31" @While the word was in the king's mouth, a voice came from heaven, saying, 'King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is declared- sovereignty has been removed from you,

nasb@Daniel:3:32 @and you will be driven away from mankind, and your dwelling place will be with the beasts of the field. You will be given grass to eat like cattle, and seven periods of time will pass over you until you recognize that the Most High is ruler over the realm of mankind and bestows it on whomever He wishes.'

nasb@Daniel:3:33" @Immediately the word concerning Nebuchadnezzar was fulfilled; and he was driven away from mankind and began eating grass like cattle, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven until his hair had grown like eagles' feathers and his nails like birds' claws.

nasb@Daniel:3:36" @At that time my reason returned to me. And my majesty and splendor were restored to me for the glory of my kingdom, and my counselors and my nobles began seeking me out; so I was reestablished in my sovereignty, and surpassing greatness was added to me.

nasb@Daniel:4:1 @Belshazzar the king held a great feast for a thousand of his nobles, and he was drinking wine in the presence of the thousand.

nasb@Daniel:4:2 @When Belshazzar tasted the wine, he gave orders to bring the gold and silver vessels which Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem, so that the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines might drink from them.

nasb@Daniel:4:3 @Then they brought the gold vessels that had been taken out of the temple, the house of God which was in Jerusalem; and the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines drank from them.

nasb@Daniel:4:5 @Suddenly the fingers of a man's hand emerged and began writing opposite the lampstand on the plaster of the wall of the king's palace, and the king saw the back of the hand that did the writing.

nasb@Daniel:4:6 @Then the king's face grew pale and his thoughts alarmed him, and his hip joints went slack and his knees began knocking together.

nasb@Daniel:4:7 @The king called aloud to bring in the conjurers, the Chaldeans and the diviners. The king spoke and said to the wise men of Babylon, "Any man who can read this inscription and explain its interpretation to me shall be clothed with purple and have a necklace of gold around his neck, and have authority as third ruler in the kingdom."

nasb@Daniel:4:9 @Then King Belshazzar was greatly alarmed, his face grew even paler, and his nobles were perplexed.

nasb@Daniel:4:10 @The queen entered the banquet hall because of the words of the king and his nobles; the queen spoke and said, " O king, live forever! Do not let your thoughts alarm you or your face be pale.

nasb@Daniel:4:12" @This was because an extraordinary spirit, knowledge and insight, interpretation of dreams, explanation of enigmas and solving of difficult problems were found in this Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. Let Daniel now be summoned and he will declare the interpretation."

nasb@Daniel:4:13 @Then Daniel was brought in before the king. The king spoke and said to Daniel, "Are you that Daniel who is one of the exiles from Judah, whom my father the king brought from Judah?

nasb@Daniel:4:14" @Now I have heard about you that a spirit of the gods is in you, and that illumination, insight and extraordinary wisdom have been found in you.

nasb@Daniel:4:15" @Just now the wise men and the conjurers were brought in before me that they might read this inscription and make its interpretation known to me, but they could not declare the interpretation of the message.

nasb@Daniel:4:16" @But I personally have heard about you, that you are able to give interpretations and solve difficult problems. Now if you are able to read the inscription and make its interpretation known to me, you will be clothed with purple and wear a necklace of gold around your neck, and you will have authority as the third ruler in the kingdom."

nasb@Daniel:4:17 @Then Daniel answered and said before the king, "Keep your gifts for yourself or give your rewards to someone else; however, I will read the inscription to the king and make the interpretation known to him.

nasb@Daniel:4:19" @Because of the grandeur which He bestowed on him, all the peoples, nations and men of every language feared and trembled before him; whomever he wished he killed and whomever he wished he spared alive; and whomever he wished he elevated and whomever he wished he humbled.

nasb@Daniel:4:20" @But when his heart was lifted up and his spirit became so proud that he behaved arrogantly, he was deposed from his royal throne and his glory was taken away from him.

nasb@Daniel:4:21" @He was also driven away from mankind, and his heart was made like that of beasts, and his dwelling place was with the wild donkeys. He was given grass to eat like cattle, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven until he recognized that the Most High God is ruler over the realm of mankind and that He sets over it whomever He wishes.

nasb@Daniel:4:22" @Yet you, his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, even though you knew all this,

nasb@Daniel:4:23 @but you have exalted yourself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of His house before you, and you and your nobles, your wives and your concubines have been drinking wine from them; and you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood and stone, which do not see, hear or understand. But the God in whose hand are your life-breath and all your ways, you have not glorified.

nasb@Daniel:4:26" @This is the interpretation of the message- 'MENE'--God has numbered your kingdom and put an end to it.

nasb@Daniel:4:27" @ 'TEKEL'--you have been weighed on the scales and found deficient.

nasb@Daniel:4:28" @ 'PERES'--your kingdom has been divided and given over to the Medes and Persians."

nasb@Daniel:4:29 @Then Belshazzar gave orders, and they clothed Daniel with purple and put a necklace of gold around his neck, and issued a proclamation concerning him that he now had authority as the third ruler in the kingdom.

nasb@Daniel:4:30 @That same night Belshazzar the Chaldean king was slain.

nasb@Daniel:5:1 @It seemed good to Darius to appoint 120 satraps over the kingdom, that they would be in charge of the whole kingdom,

nasb@Daniel:5:2 @and over them three commissioners (of whom Daniel was one), that these satraps might be accountable to them, and that the king might not suffer loss.

nasb@Daniel:5:3 @Then this Daniel began distinguishing himself among the commissioners and satraps because he possessed an extraordinary spirit, and the king planned to appoint him over the entire kingdom.

nasb@Daniel:5:4 @Then the commissioners and satraps began trying to find a ground of accusation against Daniel in regard to government affairs; but they could find no ground of accusation or evidence of corruption, inasmuch as he was faithful, and no negligence or corruption was to be found in him.

nasb@Daniel:5:7" @All the commissioners of the kingdom, the prefects and the satraps, the high officials and the governors have consulted together that the king should establish a statute and enforce an injunction that anyone who makes a petition to any god or man besides you, O king, for thirty days, shall be cast into the lions' den.

nasb@Daniel:5:8" @Now, O king, establish the injunction and sign the document so that it may not be changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which may not be revoked."

nasb@Daniel:5:10 @Now when Daniel knew that the document was signed, he entered his house (now in his roof chamber he had windows open toward Jerusalem); and he continued kneeling on his knees three times a day, praying and giving thanks before his God, as he had been doing previously.

nasb@Daniel:5:11 @Then these men came by agreement and found Daniel making petition and supplication before his God.

nasb@Daniel:5:12 @Then they approached and spoke before the king about the king's injunction, "Did you not sign an injunction that any man who makes a petition to any god or man besides you, O king, for thirty days, is to be cast into the lions' den?" The king replied, "The statement is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which may not be revoked."

nasb@Daniel:5:13 @Then they answered and spoke before the king, " Daniel, who is one of the exiles from Judah, pays no attention to you, O king, or to the injunction which you signed, but keeps making his petition three times a day."

nasb@Daniel:5:15 @Then these men came by agreement to the king and said to the king, "Recognize, O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians that no injunction or statute which the king establishes may be changed."

nasb@Daniel:5:17 @A stone was brought and laid over the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet ring and with the signet rings of his nobles, so that nothing would be changed in regard to Daniel.

nasb@Daniel:5:18 @Then the king went off to his palace and spent the night fasting, and no entertainment was brought before him; and his sleep fled from him.

nasb@Daniel:5:20 @When he had come near the den to Daniel, he cried out with a troubled voice. The king spoke and said to Daniel, "Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you constantly serve, been able to deliver you from the lions?"

nasb@Daniel:5:22" @My God sent His angel and shut the lions' mouths and they have not harmed me, inasmuch as I was found innocent before Him; and also toward you, O king, I have committed no crime."

nasb@Daniel:5:23 @Then the king was very pleased and gave orders for Daniel to be taken up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den and no injury whatever was found on him, because he had trusted in his God.

nasb@Daniel:5:24 @The king then gave orders, and they brought those men who had maliciously accused Daniel, and they cast them, their children and their wives into the lions' den; and they had not reached the bottom of the den before the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones.

nasb@Daniel:5:26" @I make a decree that in all the dominion of my kingdom men are to fear and tremble before the God of Daniel; For He is the living God and enduring forever, And His kingdom is one which will not be destroyed, And His dominion will be forever.

nasb@Daniel:6:1 @In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel saw a dream and visions in his mind as he lay on his bed; then he wrote the dream down and related the following summary of it.

nasb@Daniel:6:2 @Daniel said, "I was looking in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven were stirring up the great sea.

nasb@Daniel:6:3" @And four great beasts were coming up from the sea, different from one another.

nasb@Daniel:6:5" @And behold, another beast, a second one, resembling a bear. And it was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth; and thus they said to it, 'Arise, devour much meat!'

nasb@Daniel:6:6" @After this I kept looking, and behold, another one, 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.

nasb@Daniel:6:7" @After this I kept looking in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrifying and extremely strong; and it had large iron teeth. It devoured and crushed and trampled down the remainder with its feet; and it was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns.

nasb@Daniel:6:8" @While I was contemplating the horns, behold, another horn, a little one, came up among them, and three of the first horns were pulled out by the roots before it; and behold, this horn possessed eyes like the eyes of a man and a mouth uttering great boasts.

nasb@Daniel:6:10" @A river of fire was flowing And coming out from before Him; Thousands upon thousands were attending Him, And myriads upon myriads were standing before Him; The court sat, And the books were opened.

nasb@Daniel:6:11" @Then I kept looking because of the sound of the boastful words which the horn was speaking; I kept looking until the beast was slain, and its body was destroyed and given to the burning fire.

nasb@Daniel:6:12" @As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away, but an extension of life was granted to them for an appointed period of time.

nasb@Daniel:6:13" @I kept looking in the night visions, And behold, with the clouds of heaven One like a Son of Man was coming, And He came up to the Ancient of Days And was presented before Him.

nasb@Daniel:6:14" @And to Him was given dominion, Glory and a kingdom, That all the peoples, nations and men of every language Might serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion Which will not pass away; And His kingdom is one Which will not be destroyed.

nasb@Daniel:6:16" @I approached one of those who were standing by and began asking him the exact meaning of all this. So he told me and made known to me the interpretation of these things-

nasb@Daniel:6:17 @'These great beasts, which are four in number, are four kings who will arise from the earth.

nasb@Daniel:6:19" @Then I desired to know the exact meaning of the fourth beast, which was different from all the others, exceedingly dreadful, with its teeth of iron and its claws of bronze, and which devoured, crushed and trampled down the remainder with its feet,

nasb@Daniel:6:20 @and the meaning of the ten horns that were on its head and the other horn which came up, and before which three of them fell, namely, that horn which had eyes and a mouth uttering great boasts and which was larger in appearance than its associates.

nasb@Daniel:6:23" @Thus he said- 'The fourth beast will be a fourth kingdom on the earth, which will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth and tread it down and crush it.

nasb@Daniel:6:24 @'As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings will arise; and another will arise after them, and he will be different from the previous ones and will subdue three kings.

nasb@Daniel:6:25 @'He will speak out against the Most High and wear down the saints of the Highest One, and he will intend to make alterations in times and in law; and they will be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time.

nasb@Daniel:6:26 @'But the court will sit for judgment, and his dominion will be taken away, annihilated and destroyed forever.

nasb@Daniel:6:27 @'Then the sovereignty, the dominion and the greatness of all the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be given to the people of the saints of the Highest One; His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all the dominions will serve and obey Him.'

nasb@Daniel:7:1 @In the third year of the reign of Belshazzar the king a vision appeared to me, Daniel, subsequent to the one which appeared to me previously.

nasb@Daniel:7:2 @I looked in the vision, and while I was looking I was in the citadel of Susa, which is in the province of Elam; and I looked in the vision and I myself was beside the Ulai Canal.

nasb@Daniel:7:3 @Then I lifted my eyes and looked, and behold, a ram which had two horns was standing in front of the canal. Now the two horns were long, but one was longer than the other, with the longer one coming up last.

nasb@Daniel:7:4 @I saw the ram butting westward, northward, and southward, and no other beasts could stand before him nor was there anyone to rescue from his power, but he did as he pleased and magnified himself.

nasb@Daniel:7:5 @While I was observing, behold, a male goat was coming from the west over the surface of the whole earth without touching the ground; and the goat had a conspicuous horn between his eyes.

nasb@Daniel:7:7 @I saw him come beside the ram, and he was enraged at him; and he struck the ram and shattered his two horns, and the ram had no strength to withstand him. So he hurled him to the ground and trampled on him, and there was none to rescue the ram from his power.

nasb@Daniel:7:9 @Out of one of them came forth a rather small horn which grew exceedingly great toward the south, toward the east, and toward the Beautiful Land.

nasb@Daniel:7:11 @It even magnified itself to be equal with the Commander of the host; and it removed the regular sacrifice from Him, and the place of His sanctuary was thrown down.

nasb@Daniel:7:12 @And on account of transgression the host will be given over to the horn along with the regular sacrifice; and it will fling truth to the ground and perform its will and prosper.

nasb@Daniel:7:13 @Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to that particular one who was speaking, " How long will the vision about the regular sacrifice apply, while the transgression causes horror, so as to allow both the holy place and the host to be trampled?"

nasb@Daniel:7:14 @He said to me, "For 2,300 evenings and mornings; then the holy place will be properly restored."

nasb@Daniel:7:15 @When I, Daniel, had seen the vision, I sought to understand it; and behold, standing before me was one who looked like a man.

nasb@Daniel:7:16 @And I heard the voice of a man between the banks of Ulai, and he called out and said, " Gabriel, give this man an understanding of the vision."

nasb@Daniel:7:19 @He said, "Behold, I am going to let you know what will occur at the final period of the indignation, for it pertains to the appointed time of the end.

nasb@Daniel:7:21" @The shaggy goat represents the kingdom of Greece, and the large horn that is between his eyes is the first king.

nasb@Daniel:7:24" @His power will be mighty, but not by his own power, And he will destroy to an extraordinary degree And prosper and perform his will; He will destroy mighty men and the holy people.

nasb@Daniel:7:25" @And through his shrewdness He will cause deceit to succeed by his influence; And he will magnify himself in his heart, And he will destroy many while they are at ease. He will even oppose the Prince of princes, But he will be broken without human agency.

nasb@Daniel:7:26" @The vision of the evenings and mornings Which has been told is true; But keep the vision secret, For it pertains to many days in the future."

nasb@Daniel:8:2 @in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, observed in the books the number of the years which was revealed as the word of the LORD to Jeremiah the prophet for the completion of the desolations of Jerusalem, namely, seventy years.

nasb@Daniel:8:5 @we have sinned, committed iniquity, acted wickedly and rebelled, even turning aside from Your commandments and ordinances.

nasb@Daniel:8:7" @ Righteousness belongs to You, O Lord, but to us open shame, as it is this day--to the men of Judah, the inhabitants of Jerusalem and all Israel, those who are nearby and those who are far away in all the countries to which You have driven them, because of their unfaithful deeds which they have committed against You.

nasb@Daniel:8:8" @Open shame belongs to us, O Lord, to our kings, our princes and our fathers, because we have sinned against You.

nasb@Daniel:8:9" @To the Lord our God belong compassion and forgiveness, for we have rebelled against Him;

nasb@Daniel:8:10 @nor have we obeyed the voice of the LORD our God, to walk in His teachings which He set before us through His servants the prophets.

nasb@Daniel:8:11" @Indeed all Israel has transgressed Your law and turned aside, not obeying Your voice; so the curse has been poured out on us, along with the oath which is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, for we have sinned against Him.

nasb@Daniel:8:12" @Thus He has confirmed His words which He had spoken against us and against our rulers who ruled us, to bring on us great calamity; for under the whole heaven there has not been done anything like what was done to Jerusalem.

nasb@Daniel:8:14" @Therefore the LORD has kept the calamity in store and brought it on us; for the LORD our God is righteous with respect to all His deeds which He has done, but we have not obeyed His voice.

nasb@Daniel:8:15" @And now, O Lord our God, who have brought Your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand and have made a name for Yourself, as it is this day--we have sinned, we have been wicked.

nasb@Daniel:8:16" @O Lord, in accordance with all Your righteous acts, let now Your anger and Your wrath turn away from Your city Jerusalem, Your holy mountain; for because of our sins and the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and Your people have become a reproach to all those around us.

nasb@Daniel:8:18" @O my God, incline Your ear and hear! Open Your eyes and see our desolations and the city which is called by Your name; for we are not presenting our supplications before You on account of any merits of our own, but on account of Your great compassion.

nasb@Daniel:8:19" @O Lord, hear! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, listen and take action! For Your own sake, O my God, do not delay, because Your city and Your people are called by Your name."

nasb@Daniel:8:20 @Now while I was speaking and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the LORD my God in behalf of the holy mountain of my God,

nasb@Daniel:8:23" @At the beginning of your supplications the command was issued, and I have come to tell you, for you are highly esteemed; so give heed to the message and gain understanding of the vision.

nasb@Daniel:8:24" @Seventy weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sin, to make atonement for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy place.

nasb@Daniel:8:25" @So you are to know and discern that from the issuing of a decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; it will be built again, with plaza and moat, even in times of distress.

nasb@Daniel:8:26" @Then after the sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be cut off and have nothing, and the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. And its end will come with a flood; even to the end there will be war; desolations are determined.

nasb@Daniel:9:1 @In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a message was revealed to Daniel, who was named Belteshazzar; and the message was true and one of great conflict, but he understood the message and had an understanding of the vision.

nasb@Daniel:9:2 @In those days, I, Daniel, had been mourning for three entire weeks.

nasb@Daniel:9:5 @I lifted my eyes and looked, and behold, there was a certain man dressed in linen, whose waist was girded with a belt of pure gold of Uphaz.

nasb@Daniel:9:6 @His body also was like beryl, his face had the appearance of lightning, his eyes were like flaming torches, his arms and feet like the gleam of polished bronze, and the sound of his words like the sound of a tumult.

nasb@Daniel:9:10 @Then behold, a hand touched me and set me trembling on my hands and knees.

nasb@Daniel:9:11 @He said to me, "O Daniel, man of high esteem, understand the words that I am about to tell you and stand upright, for I have now been sent to you." And when he had spoken this word to me, I stood up trembling.

nasb@Daniel:9:12 @Then he said to me, " Do not be afraid, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart on understanding this and on humbling yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to your words.

nasb@Daniel:9:13" @But the prince of the kingdom of Persia was withstanding me for twenty-one days; then behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left there with the kings of Persia.

nasb@Daniel:9:15 @When he had spoken to me according to these words, I turned my face toward the ground and became speechless.

nasb@Daniel:9:16 @And behold, one who resembled a human being was touching my lips; then I opened my mouth and spoke and said to him who was standing before me, "O my lord, as a result of the vision anguish has come upon me, and I have retained no strength.

nasb@Daniel:9:17" @For how can such a servant of my lord talk with such as my lord? As for me, there remains just now no strength in me, nor has any breath been left in me."

nasb@Daniel:9:19 @He said, "O man of high esteem, do not be afraid. Peace be with you; take courage and be courageous!" Now as soon as he spoke to me, I received strength and said, "May my lord speak, for you have strengthened me."

nasb@Daniel:9:20 @Then he said, "Do you understand why I came to you? But I shall now return to fight against the prince of Persia; so I am going forth, and behold, the prince of Greece is about to come.

nasb@Daniel:9:21" @However, I will tell you what is inscribed in the writing of truth. Yet there is no one who stands firmly with me against these forces except Michael your prince.

nasb@Daniel:9:11" @In the first year of Darius the Mede, I arose to be an encouragement and a protection for him.

nasb@Daniel:9:2" @And now I will tell you the truth. Behold, three more kings are going to arise in Persia. Then a fourth will gain far more riches than all of them; as soon as he becomes strong through his riches, he will arouse the whole empire against the realm of Greece.

nasb@Daniel:9:4" @But as soon as he has arisen, his kingdom will be broken up and parceled out toward the four points of the compass, though not to his own descendants, nor according to his authority which he wielded, for his sovereignty will be uprooted and given to others besides them.

nasb@Daniel:9:5" @Then the king of the South will grow strong, along with one of his princes who will gain ascendancy over him and obtain dominion; his domain will be a great dominion indeed.

nasb@Daniel:9:6" @After some years they will form an alliance, and the daughter of the king of the South will come to the king of the North to carry out a peaceful arrangement. But she will not retain her position of power, nor will he remain with his power, but she will be given up, along with those who brought her in and the one who sired her as well as he who supported her in those times.

nasb@Daniel:9:11" @The king of the South will be enraged and go forth and fight with the king of the North. Then the latter will raise a great multitude, but that multitude will be given into the hand of the former.

nasb@Daniel:9:12" @When the multitude is carried away, his heart will be lifted up, and he will cause tens of thousands to fall; yet he will not prevail.

nasb@Daniel:9:15" @Then the king of the North will come, cast up a siege ramp and capture a well-fortified city; and the forces of the South will not stand their ground, not even their choicest troops, for there will be no strength to make a stand.

nasb@Daniel:9:16" @But he who comes against him will do as he pleases, and no one will be able to withstand him; he will also stay for a time in the Beautiful Land, with destruction in his hand.

nasb@Daniel:9:17" @He will set his face to come with the power of his whole kingdom, bringing with him a proposal of peace which he will put into effect; he will also give him the daughter of women to ruin it. But she will not take a stand for him or be on his side.

nasb@Daniel:9:19" @So he will turn his face toward the fortresses of his own land, but he will stumble and fall and be found no more.

nasb@Daniel:9:20" @Then in his place one will arise who will send an oppressor through the Jewel of his kingdom; yet within a few days he will be shattered, though not in anger nor in battle.

nasb@Daniel:9:21" @In his place a despicable person will arise, on whom the honor of kingship has not been conferred, but he will come in a time of tranquility and seize the kingdom by intrigue.

nasb@Daniel:9:22" @The overflowing forces will be flooded away before him and shattered, and also the prince of the covenant.

nasb@Daniel:9:25" @He will stir up his strength and courage against the king of the South with a large army; so the king of the South will mobilize an extremely large and mighty army for war; but he will not stand, for schemes will be devised against him.

nasb@Daniel:9:27" @As for both kings, their hearts will be intent on evil, and they will speak lies to each other at the same table; but it will not succeed, for the end is still to come at the appointed time.

nasb@Daniel:9:28" @Then he will return to his land with much plunder; but his heart will be set against the holy covenant, and he will take action and then return to his own land.
