nasb@Isaiah:1:1 @The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz concerning Judah and Jerusalem, which he saw during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

nasb@Isaiah:1:4 @Alas, sinful nation, People weighed down with iniquity, Offspring of evildoers, Sons who act corruptly! They have abandoned the LORD, They have despised the Holy One of Israel, They have turned away from Him.

nasb@Isaiah:1:6 @From the sole of the foot even to the head There is nothing sound in it, Only bruises, welts and raw wounds, Not pressed out or bandaged, Nor softened with oil.

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:1:10 @Hear the word of the LORD, You rulers of Sodom; Give ear to the instruction of our God, You people of Gomorrah.

nasb@Isaiah:1:11" @ What are your multiplied sacrifices to Me?" Says the LORD. "I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams And the fat of fed cattle; And I take no pleasure in the blood of bulls, lambs or goats.

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

nasb@Isaiah:1:13" @Bring your worthless offerings no longer, Incense is an abomination to Me. New moon and sabbath, the calling of assemblies-- I cannot endure iniquity and the solemn assembly.

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:1:16" @ Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; Remove the evil of your deeds from My sight. Cease to do evil,

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:1:23 @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:1:29 @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:2:1 @The word which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

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:2:3 @And many peoples will come and say, "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, To the house of the God of Jacob; That He may teach us concerning His ways And that we may walk in His paths." For the law will go forth from Zion And the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

nasb@Isaiah:2:5 @Come, house of Jacob, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.

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:2:8 @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:2:10 @Enter the rock and hide in the dust From the terror of the LORD and from the splendor of His majesty.

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:2:14 @Against all the lofty mountains, Against all the hills that are lifted up,

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:2:20 @In that day men will cast away to the moles and the bats Their idols of silver and their idols of gold, Which they made for themselves to worship,

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:3:3 @The captain of fifty and the honorable man, The counselor and the expert artisan, And the skillful enchanter.

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:3:9 @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:3:10 @Say to the righteous that it will go well with them, For they will eat the fruit of their actions.

nasb@Isaiah:3:12 @O My people! Their oppressors are children, And women rule over them. O My people! Those who guide you lead you astray And confuse the direction of your paths.

nasb@Isaiah:3:14 @The LORD enters into judgment with the elders and princes of His people, "It is you who have devoured the vineyard; The plunder of the poor is in your houses.

nasb@Isaiah:3:15" @What do you mean by crushing My people And grinding the face of the poor?" Declares the Lord GOD of hosts.

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:3:17 @Therefore the Lord will afflict the scalp of the daughters of Zion with scabs, And the LORD will make their foreheads bare."

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

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:4:4 @When the Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion and purged the bloodshed of Jerusalem from her midst, by the spirit of judgment and the spirit of burning,

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: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:5:2 @He dug it all around, removed its stones, And planted it with the choicest vine. And He built a tower in the middle of it And also hewed out a wine vat in it; Then He expected it to produce good grapes, But it produced only worthless ones.

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

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:5:8 @Woe to those who add house to house and join field to field, Until there is no more room, So that you have to live alone in the midst of the land!

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:5:10" @For ten acres of vineyard will yield only one bath of wine, And a homer of seed will yield but an ephah of grain."

nasb@Isaiah:5:12 @Their banquets are accompanied by lyre and harp, by tambourine and flute, and by wine; But they do not pay attention to the deeds of the LORD, Nor do they consider the work of His hands.

nasb@Isaiah:5:13 @Therefore My people go into exile for their lack of knowledge; And their honorable men are famished, And their multitude is parched with thirst.

nasb@Isaiah:5:14 @Therefore Sheol has enlarged its throat and opened its mouth without measure; And Jerusalem's splendor, her multitude, her din of revelry and the jubilant within her, descend into it.

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:5:17 @Then the lambs will graze as in their pasture, And strangers will eat in the waste places of the wealthy.

nasb@Isaiah:5:18 @Woe to those who drag iniquity with the cords of falsehood, And sin as if with cart ropes;

nasb@Isaiah:5:19 @Who say, "Let Him make speed, let Him hasten His work, that we may see it; And let the purpose of the Holy One of Israel draw near And come to pass, that we may know it!"

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:5:25 @On this account the anger of the LORD has burned against His people, And He has stretched out His hand against them and struck them down. And the mountains quaked, and their corpses lay like refuse in the middle of the streets. For all this His anger is not spent, But His hand is still stretched out.

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:5:28 @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:5:29 @Its roaring is like a lioness, and it roars like young lions; It growls as it seizes the prey And carries it off with no one to deliver it.

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:6:3 @And one called out to another and said, " Holy, Holy, Holy, is the LORD of hosts, The whole earth is full of His glory."

nasb@Isaiah:6:4 @And the foundations of the thresholds trembled at the voice of him who called out, while the temple was filling with smoke.

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:6:6 @Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a burning coal in his hand, which he had taken from the altar with tongs.

nasb@Isaiah:6:8 @Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?" Then I said, "Here am I. Send me!"

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:6:12" @The LORD has removed men far away, And the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land.

nasb@Isaiah:7:1 @Now it came about in the days of Ahaz, the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Aram and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to wage war against it, but could not conquer it.

nasb@Isaiah:7:2 @When it was reported to the house of David, saying, "The Arameans have camped in Ephraim," his heart and the hearts of his people shook as the trees of the forest shake with the wind.

nasb@Isaiah:7:3 @Then the LORD said to Isaiah, "Go out now to meet Ahaz, you and your son Shear-jashub, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, on the highway to the fuller's field,

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:7:13 @Then he said, "Listen now, O house of David! Is it too slight a thing for you to try the patience of men, that you will try the patience of my God as well?

nasb@Isaiah:7:17" @The LORD will bring on you, on your people, and on your father's house such days as have never come since the day that Ephraim separated from Judah, the king of Assyria."

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:7:19 @They will all come and settle on the steep ravines, on the ledges of the cliffs, on all the thorn bushes and on all the watering places.

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:7:21 @Now in that day a man may keep alive a heifer and a pair of sheep;

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:7:25 @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:7:6" @Inasmuch as these people have rejected the gently flowing waters of Shiloah And rejoice in Rezin and the son of Remaliah;

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:7:8" @Then it will sweep on into Judah, it will overflow and pass through, It will reach even to the neck; And the spread of its wings will fill the breadth of your land, O Immanuel.

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:7:11 @For thus the LORD spoke to me with mighty power and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,

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:7:17 @And I will wait for the LORD who is hiding His face from the house of Jacob; I will even look eagerly for Him.

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:7:22 @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:8:4 @For You shall break the yoke of their burden and the staff on their shoulders, The rod of their oppressor, as at the battle of Midian.

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:8:9 @And all the people know it, That is, Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria, Asserting in pride and in arrogance of heart-

nasb@Isaiah:8:12 @The Arameans on the east and the Philistines on the west; And they devour Israel with gaping jaws. In spite of all this, His anger does not turn away And His hand is still stretched out.

nasb@Isaiah:8:13 @Yet the people do not turn back to Him who struck them, Nor do they seek the LORD of hosts.

nasb@Isaiah:8:14 @So the LORD cuts off head and tail from Israel, Both palm branch and bulrush in a single day.

nasb@Isaiah:8:17 @Therefore the Lord does not take pleasure in their young men, Nor does He have pity on their orphans or their widows; For every one of them is godless and an evildoer, And every mouth is speaking foolishness. In spite of all this, His anger does not turn away And His hand is still stretched out.

nasb@Isaiah:8:18 @For wickedness burns like a fire; It consumes briars and thorns; It even sets the thickets of the forest aflame And they roll upward in a column of smoke.

nasb@Isaiah:8:19 @By the fury of the LORD of hosts the land is burned up, And the people are like fuel for the fire; No man spares his brother.

nasb@Isaiah:8:20 @They slice off what is on the right hand but still are hungry, And they eat what is on the left hand but they are not satisfied; Each of them eats the flesh of his own arm.

nasb@Isaiah:8:21 @Manasseh devours Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh, And together they are against Judah. In spite of all this, His anger does not turn away And His hand is still stretched out.

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:9:3 @Now what will you do in the day of punishment, And in the devastation which will come from afar? To whom will you flee for help? And where will you leave your wealth?

nasb@Isaiah:9:4 @Nothing remains but to crouch among the captives Or fall among the slain. In spite of all this, His anger does not turn away And His hand is still stretched out.

nasb@Isaiah:9:5 @Woe to Assyria, the rod of My anger And the staff in whose hands is My indignation,

nasb@Isaiah:9:6 @I send it against a godless nation And commission it against the people of My fury To capture booty and to seize plunder, And to trample them down like mud in the streets.

nasb@Isaiah:9:7 @Yet it does not so intend, Nor does it plan so in its heart, But rather it is its purpose to destroy And to cut off many nations.

nasb@Isaiah:9:10" @As my hand has reached to the kingdoms of the idols, Whose graven images were greater than those of Jerusalem and Samaria,

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:9:13 @For he has said, "By the power of my hand and by my wisdom I did this, For I have understanding; And I removed the boundaries of the peoples And plundered their treasures, And like a mighty man I brought down their inhabitants,

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:9:16 @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:9:20 @Now in that day the remnant of Israel, and those of the house of Jacob who have escaped, will never again rely on the one who struck them, but will truly rely on the LORD, the Holy One of Israel.

nasb@Isaiah:9:21 @A remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God.

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:9:23 @For a complete destruction, one that is decreed, the Lord GOD of hosts will execute in the midst of the whole land.

nasb@Isaiah:9:24 @Therefore thus says the Lord GOD of hosts, "O My people who dwell in Zion, do not fear the Assyrian who strikes you with the rod and lifts up his staff against you, the way Egypt did.

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:9:30 @Cry aloud with your voice, O daughter of Gallim! Pay attention, Laishah and wretched Anathoth!

nasb@Isaiah:9:31 @Madmenah has fled. The inhabitants of Gebim have sought refuge.

nasb@Isaiah:9:32 @Yet today he will halt at Nob; He shakes his fist at the mountain of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.

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:9:34 @He will cut down the thickets of the forest with an iron axe, And Lebanon will fall by the Mighty One.

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:10:2 @The Spirit of the LORD will rest on Him, The spirit of wisdom and understanding, The spirit of counsel and strength, The spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD.

nasb@Isaiah:10:3 @And He will delight in the fear of the LORD, And He will not judge by what His eyes see, Nor make a decision by what His ears hear;

nasb@Isaiah:10:4 @But with righteousness He will judge the poor, And decide with fairness for the afflicted of the earth; And He will strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, And with the breath of His lips He will slay the wicked.

nasb@Isaiah:10:8 @The nursing child will play by the hole of the cobra, And the weaned child will put his hand on the viper's den.

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:10:11 @Then it will happen on that day that the Lord Will again recover the second time with His hand The remnant of His people, who will remain, From Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, And from the islands of the sea.

nasb@Isaiah:10:12 @And He will lift up a standard for the nations And assemble the banished ones of Israel, And will gather the dispersed of Judah From the four corners of the earth.

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:10:15 @And the LORD will utterly destroy The tongue of the Sea of Egypt; And He will wave His hand over the River With His scorching wind; And He will strike it into seven streams And make men walk over dry-shod.

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:10:3 @Therefore you will joyously draw water From the springs of salvation.

nasb@Isaiah:11:1 @The oracle concerning Babylon which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw.

nasb@Isaiah:11:2 @Lift up a standard on the bare hill, Raise your voice to them, Wave the hand that they may enter the doors of the nobles.

nasb@Isaiah:11:4 @A sound of tumult on the mountains, Like that of many people! A sound of the uproar of kingdoms, Of nations gathered together! The LORD of hosts is mustering the army for battle.

nasb@Isaiah:11:5 @They are coming from a far country, From the farthest horizons, The LORD and His instruments of indignation, To destroy the whole land.

nasb@Isaiah:11:6 @Wail, for the day of the LORD is near! It will come as destruction from the Almighty.

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:11:11 @Thus I will punish the world for its evil And the wicked for their iniquity; I will also put an end to the arrogance of the proud And abase the haughtiness of the ruthless.

nasb@Isaiah:11:12 @I will make mortal man scarcer than pure gold And mankind than the gold of Ophir.

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:11:18 @And their bows will mow down the young men, They will not even have compassion on the fruit of the womb, Nor will their eye pity children.

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:11:21 @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:12:1 @When the LORD will have compassion on Jacob and again choose Israel, and settle them in their own land, then strangers will join them and attach themselves to the house of Jacob.

nasb@Isaiah:12:2 @The peoples will take them along and bring them to their place, and the house of Israel will possess them as an inheritance in the land of the LORD as male servants and female servants; and they will take their captors captive and will rule over their oppressors.

nasb@Isaiah:12:7" @The whole earth is at rest and is quiet; They break forth into shouts of joy.

nasb@Isaiah:12:8" @Even the cypress trees rejoice over you, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, 'Since you were laid low, no tree cutter comes up against us.'

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:12:11 @'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:12:13" @But you said in your heart, 'I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, And I will sit on the mount of assembly In the recesses of the north.

nasb@Isaiah:12:14 @'I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.'

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

nasb@Isaiah:12:18" @All the kings of the nations lie in glory, Each in his own tomb.

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:12:22" @I will rise up against them," declares the LORD of hosts, "and will cut off from Babylon name and survivors, offspring and posterity," declares the LORD.

nasb@Isaiah:12:23" @I will also make it a possession for the hedgehog and swamps of water, and I will sweep it with the broom of destruction," declares the LORD of hosts.

nasb@Isaiah:12:24 @The LORD of hosts has sworn saying, "Surely, just as I have intended so it has happened, and just as I have planned so it will stand,

nasb@Isaiah:12:31" @Wail, O gate; cry, O city; Melt away, O Philistia, all of you; For smoke comes from the north, And there is no straggler in his ranks.

nasb@Isaiah:13:1 @The oracle concerning Moab. Surely in a night Ar of Moab is devastated and ruined; Surely in a night Kir of Moab is devastated and ruined.

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:13:4 @Heshbon and Elealeh also cry out, Their voice is heard all the way to Jahaz; Therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud; His soul trembles within him.

nasb@Isaiah:13:5 @My heart cries out for Moab; His fugitives are as far as Zoar and Eglath-shelishiyah, For they go up the ascent of Luhith weeping; Surely on the road to Horonaim they raise a cry of distress over their ruin.

nasb@Isaiah:13:6 @For the waters of Nimrim are desolate. Surely the grass is withered, the tender grass died out, There is no green thing.

nasb@Isaiah:13:7 @Therefore the abundance which they have acquired and stored up They carry off over the brook of Arabim.

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:13:9 @For the waters of Dimon are full of blood; Surely I will bring added woes upon Dimon, A lion upon the fugitives of Moab and upon the remnant of the land.

nasb@Isaiah:14:1 @Send the tribute lamb to the ruler of the land, From Sela by way of the wilderness to the mountain of the daughter of Zion.

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:14:4" @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:14:6 @We have heard of the pride of Moab, an excessive pride; Even of his arrogance, pride, and fury; His idle boasts are false.

nasb@Isaiah:14:7 @Therefore Moab will wail; everyone of Moab will wail. You will moan for the raisin cakes of Kir-hareseth As those who are utterly stricken.

nasb@Isaiah:14:8 @For the fields of Heshbon have withered, the vines of Sibmah as well; The lords of the nations have trampled down its choice clusters Which reached as far as Jazer and wandered to the deserts; Its tendrils spread themselves out and passed over the sea.

nasb@Isaiah:14:9 @Therefore I will weep bitterly for Jazer, for the vine of Sibmah; I will drench you with my tears, O Heshbon and Elealeh; For the shouting over your summer fruits and your harvest has fallen away.

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:14:2" @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:14:7 @In that day man will have regard for his Maker And his eyes will look to the Holy One of Israel.

nasb@Isaiah:14:8 @He will not have regard for the altars, the work of his hands, Nor will he look to that which his fingers have made, Even the Asherim and incense stands.

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:14:12 @Alas, the uproar of many peoples Who roar like the roaring of the seas, And the rumbling of nations Who rush on like the rumbling of mighty waters!

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:15:2 @Which sends envoys by the sea, Even in papyrus vessels on the surface of the waters. Go, swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth, To a people feared far and wide, A powerful and oppressive nation Whose land the rivers divide.

nasb@Isaiah:15:3 @All you inhabitants of the world and dwellers on earth, As soon as a standard is raised on the mountains, you will see it, And as soon as the trumpet is blown, you will hear it.

nasb@Isaiah:15:4 @For thus the LORD has told me, "I will look from My dwelling place quietly Like dazzling heat in the sunshine, Like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest."

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:15:4" @Moreover, I will deliver the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel master, And a mighty king will rule over them," declares the Lord GOD of hosts.

nasb@Isaiah:15:6 @The canals will emit a stench, The streams of Egypt will thin out and dry up; The reeds and rushes will rot away.

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:15:12 @Well then, where are your wise men? Please let them tell you, And let them understand what the LORD of hosts Has purposed against Egypt.

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:15:14 @The LORD has mixed within her a spirit of distortion; They have led Egypt astray in all that it does, As a drunken man staggers in his vomit.

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:15:21 @Thus the LORD will make Himself known to Egypt, and the Egyptians will know the LORD in that day. They will even worship with sacrifice and offering, and will make a vow to the LORD and perform it.

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:15:25 @whom the LORD of hosts has blessed, saying, "Blessed is Egypt My people, and Assyria the work of My hands, and Israel My inheritance."

nasb@Isaiah:16:1 @In the year that the commander came to Ashdod, when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him and he fought against Ashdod and captured it,

nasb@Isaiah:16:2 @at that time the LORD spoke through Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, "Go and loosen the sackcloth from your hips and take your shoes off your feet." And he did so, going naked and barefoot.

nasb@Isaiah:16:4 @so the king of Assyria will lead away the captives of Egypt and the exiles of Cush, young and old, naked and barefoot with buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.

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:17:1 @The oracle concerning the wilderness of the sea. As windstorms in the Negev sweep on, It comes from the wilderness, from a terrifying land.

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:17:7" @When he sees riders, horsemen in pairs, A train of donkeys, a train of camels, Let him pay close attention, very close attention."

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:17:10 @O my threshed people, and my afflicted of the threshing floor! What I have heard from the LORD of hosts, The God of Israel, I make known to you.

nasb@Isaiah:17:13 @The oracle about Arabia. In the thickets of Arabia you must spend the night, O caravans of Dedanites.

nasb@Isaiah:17:14 @Bring water for the thirsty, O inhabitants of the land of Tema, Meet the fugitive with bread.

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:17:16 @For thus the Lord said to me, "In a year, as a hired man would count it, all the splendor of Kedar will terminate;

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:18:1 @The oracle concerning the valley of vision. What is the matter with you now, that you have all gone up to the housetops?

nasb@Isaiah:18:2 @You who were full of noise, You boisterous town, you exultant city; Your slain were not slain with the sword, Nor did they die in battle.

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:18:4 @Therefore I say, "Turn your eyes away from me, Let me weep bitterly, Do not try to comfort me concerning the destruction of the daughter of my people."

nasb@Isaiah:18:5 @For the Lord GOD of hosts has a day of panic, subjugation and confusion In the valley of vision, A breaking down of walls And a crying to the mountain.

nasb@Isaiah:18:7 @Then your choicest valleys were full of chariots, And the horsemen took up fixed positions at the gate.

nasb@Isaiah:18:8 @And He removed the defense of Judah. In that day you depended on the weapons of the house of the forest,

nasb@Isaiah:18:9 @And you saw that the breaches In the wall of the city of David were many; And you collected the waters of the lower pool.

nasb@Isaiah:18:10 @Then you counted the houses of Jerusalem And tore down houses to fortify the wall.

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:18:12 @Therefore in that day the Lord GOD of hosts called you to weeping, to wailing, To shaving the head and to wearing sackcloth.

nasb@Isaiah:18:13 @Instead, there is gaiety and gladness, Killing of cattle and slaughtering of sheep, Eating of meat and drinking of wine- " Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we may die."

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:18:15 @Thus says the Lord GOD of hosts, "Come, go to this steward, To Shebna, who is in charge of the royal household,

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:18:19" @I will depose you from your office, And I will pull you down from your station.

nasb@Isaiah:18:20" @Then it will come about in that day, That I will summon My servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah,

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:18:22" @Then I will set the key of the house of David on his shoulder, When he opens no one will shut, When he shuts no one will open.

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:18:24" @So they will hang on him all the glory of his father's house, offspring and issue, all the least of vessels, from bowls to all the jars.

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:19:1 @The oracle concerning Tyre. Wail, O ships of Tarshish, For Tyre is destroyed, without house or harbor; It is reported to them from the land of Cyprus.

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

nasb@Isaiah:19:3 @And were on many waters. The grain of the Nile, the harvest of the River was her revenue; And she was the market of nations.

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:19:6 @Pass over to Tarshish; Wail, O inhabitants of the coastland.

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:19:10 @Overflow your land like the Nile, O daughter of Tarshish, There is no more restraint.

nasb@Isaiah:19:12 @He has said, " You shall exult no more, O crushed virgin daughter of Sidon. Arise, pass over to Cyprus; even there you will find no rest."

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:19:14 @Wail, O ships of Tarshish, For your stronghold is destroyed.

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:19:17 @It will come about at the end of seventy years that the LORD will visit Tyre. Then she will go back to her harlot's wages and will play the harlot with all the kingdoms on the face of the earth.

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:20:4 @The earth mourns and withers, the world fades and withers, the exalted of the people of the earth fade away.

nasb@Isaiah:20:6 @Therefore, a curse devours the earth, and those who live in it are held guilty. Therefore, the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men are left.

nasb@Isaiah:20:8 @The gaiety of tambourines ceases, The noise of revelers stops, The gaiety of the harp ceases.

nasb@Isaiah:20:10 @The city of chaos is broken down; Every house is shut up so that none may enter.

nasb@Isaiah:20:11 @There is an outcry in the streets concerning the wine; All joy turns to gloom. The gaiety of the earth is banished.

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:20:14 @They raise their voices, they shout for joy; They cry out from the west concerning the majesty of the LORD.

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:20:21 @So it will happen in that day, That the LORD will punish the host of heaven on high, And the kings of the earth on earth.

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:21:3 @Therefore a strong people will glorify You; Cities of ruthless nations will revere You.

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:21:5 @Like heat in drought, You subdue the uproar of aliens; Like heat by the shadow of a cloud, the song of the ruthless is silenced.

nasb@Isaiah:21:6 @The LORD of hosts will prepare a lavish banquet for all peoples on this mountain; A banquet of aged wine, choice pieces with marrow, And refined, aged wine.

nasb@Isaiah:21:8 @He will swallow up death for all time, And the Lord GOD will wipe tears away from all faces, And He will remove the reproach of His people from all the earth; For the LORD has spoken.

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:21:11 @And he will spread out his hands in the middle of it As a swimmer spreads out his hands to swim, But the Lord will lay low his pride together with the trickery of his hands.

nasb@Isaiah:21:12 @The unassailable fortifications of your walls He will bring down, Lay low and cast to the ground, even to the dust.

nasb@Isaiah:21:7 @The way of the righteous is smooth; O Upright One, make the path of the righteous level.

nasb@Isaiah:21:8 @Indeed, while following the way of Your judgments, O LORD, We have waited for You eagerly; Your name, even Your memory, is the desire of our souls.

nasb@Isaiah:21:9 @At night my soul longs for You, Indeed, my spirit within me seeks You diligently; For when the earth experiences Your judgments The inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.

nasb@Isaiah:21:10 @Though the wicked is shown favor, He does not learn righteousness; He deals unjustly in the land of uprightness, And does not perceive the majesty of the LORD.

nasb@Isaiah:21:14 @The dead will not live, the departed spirits will not rise; Therefore You have punished and destroyed them, And You have wiped out all remembrance of them.

nasb@Isaiah:21:15 @You have increased the nation, O LORD, You have increased the nation, You are glorified; You have extended all the borders of the land.

nasb@Isaiah:21:18 @We were pregnant, we writhed in labor, We gave birth, as it seems, only to wind. We could not accomplish deliverance for the earth, Nor were inhabitants of the world born.

nasb@Isaiah:21:19 @Your dead will live; Their corpses will rise. You who lie in the dust, awake and shout for joy, For your dew is as the dew of the dawn, And the earth will give birth to the departed spirits.

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:22:2 @In that day, "A vineyard of wine, sing of it!

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:22:8 @You contended with them by banishing them, by driving them away. With His fierce wind He has expelled them on the day of the east wind.

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:23:3 @The proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim is trodden under foot.

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:23:6 @A spirit of justice for him who sits in judgment, A strength to those who repel the onslaught at the gate.

nasb@Isaiah:23:8 @For all the tables are full of filthy vomit, without a single clean place.

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:23:14 @Therefore, hear the word of the LORD, O scoffers, Who rule this people who are in Jerusalem,

nasb@Isaiah:23:17" @I will make justice the measuring line And righteousness the level; Then hail will sweep away the refuge of lies And the waters will overflow the secret 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:23:21 @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:23:28 @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:23:29 @This also comes from the LORD of hosts, Who has made His counsel wonderful and His wisdom great.

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:24:10 @For the LORD has poured over you a spirit of deep sleep, He has shut your eyes, the prophets; And He has covered your heads, the seers.

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:24:13 @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:24:18 @On that day the deaf will hear words of a book, And out of their gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind will see.

nasb@Isaiah:24:19 @The afflicted also will increase their gladness in the LORD, And the needy of mankind will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

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:24:22 @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:24:23 @But when he sees his children, the work of My hands, in his midst, They will sanctify My name; Indeed, they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob And will stand in awe of the God of Israel.

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:25:2 @Who proceed down to Egypt Without consulting Me, To take refuge in the safety of Pharaoh And to seek shelter in the shadow of Egypt!

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

nasb@Isaiah:25:11" @Get out of the way, turn aside from the path, Let us hear no more about the Holy One of Israel."

nasb@Isaiah:25:12 @Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel, " Since you have rejected this word And have put your trust in oppression and guile, and have relied on them,

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:25:17 @One thousand will flee at the threat of one man; You will flee at the threat of five, Until you are left as a flag on a mountain top And as a signal on a hill.

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:25:23 @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:25:25 @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:25:28 @His breath is like an overflowing torrent, Which reaches to the neck, To shake the nations back and forth in a sieve, And to put in the jaws of the peoples the bridle which leads to ruin.

nasb@Isaiah:25:29 @You will have songs as in the night when you keep the festival, And gladness of heart as when one marches to the sound of the flute, To go to the mountain of the LORD, to the Rock of Israel.

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:26:2 @Yet He also is wise and will bring disaster And does not retract His words, But will arise against the house of evildoers And against the help of the workers of iniquity.

nasb@Isaiah:26:3 @Now the Egyptians are men and not God, And their horses are flesh and not spirit; So the LORD will stretch out His hand, And he who helps will stumble And he who is helped will fall, And all of them will come to an end together.

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:26:5 @Like flying birds so the LORD of hosts will protect Jerusalem. He will protect and deliver it; He will pass over and rescue it.

nasb@Isaiah:26:6 @Return to Him from whom you have deeply defected, O sons of Israel.

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:27:2 @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:27:4 @The mind of the hasty will discern the truth, And the tongue of the stammerers will hasten to speak clearly.

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

nasb@Isaiah:27:13 @For the land of my people in which thorns and briars shall come up; Yea, for all the joyful houses and for the jubilant city.

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

nasb@Isaiah:28:2 @O LORD, be gracious to us; we have waited for You. Be their strength every morning, Our salvation also in the time of distress.

nasb@Isaiah:28:3 @At the sound of the tumult peoples flee; At the lifting up of Yourself nations disperse.

nasb@Isaiah:28:6 @And He will be the stability of your times, A wealth of salvation, wisdom and knowledge; The fear of the LORD is his treasure.

nasb@Isaiah:28:7 @Behold, their brave men cry in the streets, The ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.

nasb@Isaiah:28:19 @You will no longer see a fierce people, A people of unintelligible speech which no one comprehends, Of a stammering tongue which no one understands.

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:29:3 @So their slain will be thrown out, And their corpses will give off their stench, And the mountains will be drenched with their blood.

nasb@Isaiah:29:4 @And all the host of heaven will wear away, And the sky will be rolled up like a scroll; All their hosts will also wither away As a leaf withers from the vine, Or as one withers from the fig tree.

nasb@Isaiah:29:6 @The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, It is sated with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats, With the fat of the kidneys of rams. For the LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah And a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

nasb@Isaiah:29:8 @For the LORD has a day of vengeance, A year of recompense for the cause of Zion.

nasb@Isaiah:29:11 @But pelican and hedgehog will possess it, And owl and raven will dwell in it; And He will stretch over it the line of desolation And the plumb line of emptiness.

nasb@Isaiah:29:13 @Thorns will come up in its fortified towers, Nettles and thistles in its fortified cities; It will also be a haunt of jackals And an abode of ostriches.

nasb@Isaiah:29:16 @Seek from the book of the LORD, and read- Not one of these will be missing; None will lack its mate. For His mouth has commanded, And His Spirit has gathered them.

nasb@Isaiah:30:2 @It will blossom profusely And rejoice with rejoicing and shout of joy. The glory of Lebanon will be given to it, The majesty of Carmel and Sharon. They will see the glory of the LORD, The majesty of our God.

nasb@Isaiah:30:4 @Say to those with anxious heart, "Take courage, fear not. Behold, your God will come with vengeance; The recompense of God will come, But He will save you."

nasb@Isaiah:30:5 @Then the eyes of the blind will be opened And the ears of the deaf will be unstopped.

nasb@Isaiah:30:6 @Then the lame will leap like a deer, And the tongue of the mute will shout for joy. For waters will break forth in the wilderness And streams in the Arabah.

nasb@Isaiah:30:7 @The scorched land will become a pool And the thirsty ground springs of water; In the haunt of jackals, its resting place, Grass becomes reeds and rushes.

nasb@Isaiah:30:8 @A highway will be there, a roadway, And it will be called the Highway of Holiness. The unclean will not travel on it, But it will be for him who walks that way, And fools will not wander on it.

nasb@Isaiah:30:10 @And the ransomed of the LORD will return And come with joyful shouting to Zion, With everlasting joy upon their heads. They will find gladness and joy, And sorrow and sighing will flee away.

nasb@Isaiah:31:1 @Now in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah and seized them.

nasb@Isaiah:31:2 @And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem to King Hezekiah with a large army. And he stood by the conduit of the upper pool on the highway of the fuller's field.

nasb@Isaiah:31:3 @Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph, the recorder, came out to him.

nasb@Isaiah:31:4 @Then Rabshakeh said to them, "Say now to Hezekiah, 'Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria, "What is this confidence that you have?

nasb@Isaiah:31:6" @Behold, you rely on the staff of this crushed reed, even on Egypt, on which if a man leans, it will go into his hand and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who rely on him.

nasb@Isaiah:31:11 @Then Eliakim and Shebna and Joah said to Rabshakeh, "Speak now to your servants in Aramaic, for we understand it; and do not speak with us in Judean in the hearing of the people who are on the wall."

nasb@Isaiah:31:13 @Then Rabshakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in Judean and said, "Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria.

nasb@Isaiah:31:15 @nor let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, "The LORD will surely deliver us, this city will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria."

nasb@Isaiah:31:16 @'Do not listen to Hezekiah,' for thus says the king of Assyria, 'Make your peace with me and come out to me, and eat each of his vine and each of his fig tree and drink each of the waters of his own cistern,

nasb@Isaiah:31:18 @'Beware that Hezekiah does not mislead you, saying, " The LORD will deliver us." Has any one of the gods of the nations delivered his land from the hand of the king of Assyria?

nasb@Isaiah:31:22 @Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe and Joah the son of Asaph, the recorder, came to Hezekiah with their clothes torn and told him the words of Rabshakeh.

nasb@Isaiah:32:1 @And when King Hezekiah heard it, he tore his clothes, covered himself with sackcloth and entered the house of the LORD.

nasb@Isaiah:32:2 @Then he sent Eliakim who was over the household with Shebna the scribe and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz.

nasb@Isaiah:32:3 @They said to him, "Thus says Hezekiah, 'This day is a day of distress, rebuke and rejection; for children have come to birth, and there is no strength to deliver.

nasb@Isaiah:32:4 @'Perhaps the LORD your God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom his master the king of Assyria has sent to reproach the living God, and will rebuke the words which the LORD your God has heard. Therefore, offer a prayer for the remnant that is left.'"

nasb@Isaiah:32:5 @So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.

nasb@Isaiah:32:6 @Isaiah said to them, "Thus you shall say to your master, 'Thus says the LORD, " Do not be afraid because of the words that you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed Me.

nasb@Isaiah:32:9 @When he heard them say concerning Tirhakah king of Cush, "He has come out to fight against you," and when he heard it he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,

nasb@Isaiah:32:10" @Thus you shall say to Hezekiah king of Judah, ' Do not let your God in whom you trust deceive you, saying, "Jerusalem will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria."

nasb@Isaiah:34:1 @At that time Merodach-baladan son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah, for he heard that he had been sick and had recovered.

nasb@Isaiah:34:7 @'And some of your sons who will issue from you, whom you will beget, will be taken away, and they will become officials in the palace of the king of Babylon.'"

nasb@Isaiah:34:5 @The coastlands have seen and are afraid; The ends of the earth tremble; They have drawn near and have come.

nasb@Isaiah:34:7 @So the craftsman encourages the smelter, And he who smooths metal with the hammer encourages him who beats the anvil, Saying of the soldering, "It is good"; And he fastens it with nails, So that it will not totter.

nasb@Isaiah:38:14 @Just as many were astonished at you, My people, So His appearance was marred more than any man And His form more than the sons of men.

nasb@Isaiah:38:15 @Thus He will sprinkle many nations, Kings will shut their mouths on account of Him; For what had not been told them they will see, And what they had not heard they will understand.

nasb@Isaiah:39:1 @Who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?

nasb@Isaiah:39:2 @For He grew up before Him like a tender shoot, And like a root out of parched ground; He has no stately form or majesty That we should look upon Him, Nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him.

nasb@Isaiah:39:3 @He was despised and forsaken of men, A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; And like one from whom men hide their face He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.

nasb@Isaiah:39:4 @Surely our griefs He Himself bore, And our sorrows He carried; Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, Smitten of God, and afflicted.

nasb@Isaiah:39:6 @All of us like sheep have gone astray, Each of us has turned to his own way; But the LORD has caused the iniquity of us all To fall on Him.

nasb@Isaiah:39:8 @By oppression and judgment He was taken away; And as for His generation, who considered That He was cut off out of the land of the living For the transgression of my people, to whom the stroke was due?

nasb@Isaiah:39:10 @But the LORD was pleased To crush Him, putting Him to grief; If He would render Himself as a guilt offering, He will see His offspring, He will prolong His days, And the good pleasure of the LORD will prosper in His hand.

nasb@Isaiah:39:11 @As a result of the anguish of His soul, He will see it and be satisfied; By His knowledge the Righteous One, My Servant, will justify the many, As He will bear their iniquities.

nasb@Isaiah:39:12 @Therefore, I will allot Him a portion with the great, And He will divide the booty with the strong; Because He poured out Himself to death, And was numbered with the transgressors; Yet He Himself bore the sin of many, And interceded for the transgressors.

nasb@Isaiah:39:54" @ Shout for joy, O barren one, you who have borne no child; Break forth into joyful shouting and cry aloud, you who have not travailed; For the sons of the desolate one will be more numerous Than the sons of the married woman," says the LORD.

nasb@Isaiah:39:8" @In an outburst of anger I hid My face from you for a moment, But with everlasting lovingkindness I will have compassion on you," Says the LORD your Redeemer.

nasb@Isaiah:39:9" @For this is like the days of Noah to Me, When I swore that the waters of Noah Would not flood the earth again; So I have sworn that I will not be angry with you Nor will I rebuke you.

nasb@Jeremiah:7:10 @'This wicked people, who refuse to listen to My words, who walk in the stubbornness of their hearts and have gone after other gods to serve them and to bow down to them, let them be just like this waistband which is totally worthless.

nasb@Jeremiah:7:11 @'For as the waistband clings to the waist of a man, so I made the whole household of Israel and the whole household of Judah cling to Me,' declares the LORD, 'that they might be for Me a people, for renown, for praise and for glory; but they did not listen.'

nasb@Jeremiah:7:12" @Therefore you are to speak this word to them, 'Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, "Every jug is to be filled with wine."' And when they say to you, 'Do we not very well know that every jug is to be filled with wine?'

nasb@Jeremiah:7:13 @then say to them, 'Thus says the LORD, "Behold I am about to fill all the inhabitants of this land--the kings that sit for David on his throne, the priests, the prophets and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem--with drunkenness!

nasb@Jeremiah:7:17 @But if you will not listen to it, My soul will sob in secret for such pride; And my eyes will bitterly weep And flow down with tears, Because the flock of the LORD has been taken captive.

nasb@Jeremiah:7:19 @The cities of the Negev have been locked up, And there is no one to open them; All Judah has been carried into exile, Wholly carried into exile.

nasb@Jeremiah:7:21" @What will you say when He appoints over you-- And you yourself had taught them-- Former companions to be head over you? Will not pangs take hold of you Like a woman in childbirth?

nasb@Jeremiah:7:22" @If you say in your heart, ' Why have these things happened to me?' Because of the magnitude of your iniquity Your skirts have been removed And your heels have been exposed.

nasb@Jeremiah:7:8" @O Hope of Israel, Its Savior in time of distress, Why are You like a stranger in the land Or like a traveler who has pitched his tent for the night?

nasb@Jeremiah:7:11 @So the LORD said to me, " Do not pray for the welfare of this people.

nasb@Jeremiah:7:12" @When they fast, I am not going to listen to their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and grain offering, I am not going to accept them. Rather I am going to make an end of them by the sword, famine and pestilence."

nasb@Jeremiah:7:14 @Then the LORD said to me, "The prophets are prophesying falsehood in My name. I have neither sent them nor commanded them nor spoken to them; they are prophesying to you a false vision, divination, futility and the deception of their own minds.

nasb@Jeremiah:7:16" @The people also to whom they are prophesying will be thrown out into the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and there will be no one to bury them--neither them, nor their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters--for I will pour out their own wickedness on them.

nasb@Jeremiah:8:4 @And you will, even of yourself, let go of your inheritance That I gave you; And I will make you serve your enemies In the land which you do not know; For you have kindled a fire in My anger Which will burn forever.

nasb@Jeremiah:17:3 @because Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, "Why do you prophesy, saying, ' Thus says the LORD, "Behold, I am about to give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will take it;

nasb@Jeremiah:17:4 @and Zedekiah king of Judah will not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but he will surely be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will speak with him face to face and see him eye to eye;

nasb@Jeremiah:17:6 @And Jeremiah said, "The word of the LORD came to me, saying,

nasb@Jeremiah:17:7 @'Behold, Hanamel the son of Shallum your uncle is coming to you, saying, "Buy for yourself my field which is at Anathoth, for you have the right of redemption to buy it."'

nasb@Jeremiah:17:8" @Then Hanamel my uncle's son came to me in the court of the guard according to the word of the LORD and said to me, 'Buy my field, please, that is at Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin; for you have the right of possession and the redemption is yours; buy it for yourself.' Then I knew that this was the word of the LORD.

nasb@Jeremiah:17:9" @I bought the field which was at Anathoth from Hanamel my uncle's son, and I weighed out the silver for him, seventeen shekels of silver.

nasb@Jeremiah:17:11" @Then I took the deeds of purchase, both the sealed copy containing the terms and conditions and the open copy;

nasb@Jeremiah:17:12 @and I gave the deed of purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the sight of Hanamel my uncle's son and in the sight of the witnesses who signed the deed of purchase, before all the Jews who were sitting in the court of the guard.

nasb@Jeremiah:17:14 @'Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, "Take these deeds, this sealed deed of purchase and this open deed, and put them in an earthenware jar, that they may last a long time."

nasb@Jeremiah:17:15 @'For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, " Houses and fields and vineyards will again be bought in this land."'

nasb@Jeremiah:17:16" @After I had given the deed of purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, then I prayed to the LORD, saying,

nasb@Jeremiah:17:18 @who shows lovingkindness to thousands, but repays the iniquity of fathers into the bosom of their children after them, O great and mighty God. The LORD of hosts is His name;

nasb@Jeremiah:17:19 @great in counsel and mighty in deed, whose eyes are open to all the ways of the sons of men, giving to everyone according to his ways and according to the fruit of his deeds;

nasb@Jeremiah:17:20 @who has set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, and even to this day both in Israel and among mankind; and You have made a name for Yourself, as at this day.

nasb@Jeremiah:17:21 @'You brought Your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs and with wonders, and with a strong hand and with an outstretched arm and with great terror;

nasb@Jeremiah:17:23 @'They came in and took possession of it, but they did not obey Your voice or walk in Your law; they have done nothing of all that You commanded them to do; therefore You have made all this calamity come upon them.

nasb@Jeremiah:17:24 @'Behold, the siege ramps have reached the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans who fight against it, because of the sword, the famine and the pestilence; and what You have spoken has come to pass; and behold, You see it.

nasb@Jeremiah:17:25 @'You have said to me, O Lord GOD, "Buy for yourself the field with money and call in witnesses"--although the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.'"

nasb@Jeremiah:17:26 @Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying,

nasb@Jeremiah:17:27" @Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh; is anything too difficult for Me?"

nasb@Jeremiah:17:28 @Therefore thus says the LORD, "Behold, I am about to give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he will take it.

nasb@Jeremiah:17:29" @The Chaldeans who are fighting against this city will enter and set this city on fire and burn it, with the houses where people have offered incense to Baal on their roofs and poured out drink offerings to other gods to provoke Me to anger.

nasb@Jeremiah:17:30" @Indeed the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah have been doing only evil in My sight from their youth; for the sons of Israel have been only provoking Me to anger by the work of their hands," declares the LORD.

nasb@Jeremiah:17:31" @Indeed this city has been to Me a provocation of My anger and My wrath from the day that they built it, even to this day, so that it should be removed from before My face,

nasb@Jeremiah:17:32 @because of all the evil of the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah which they have done to provoke Me to anger--they, their kings, their leaders, their priests, their prophets, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

nasb@Jeremiah:17:35" @They built the high places of Baal that are in the valley of Ben-hinnom to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire to Molech, which I had not commanded them nor had it entered My mind that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.

nasb@Jeremiah:17:36" @Now therefore thus says the LORD God of Israel concerning this city of which you say, 'It is given into the hand of the king of Babylon by sword, by famine and by pestilence.'

nasb@Jeremiah:17:37" @Behold, I will gather them out of all the lands to which I have driven them in My anger, in My wrath and in great indignation; and I will bring them back to this place and make them dwell in safety.

nasb@Jeremiah:17:39 @and I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me always, for their own good and for the good of their children after them.

nasb@Jeremiah:17:40" @I will make an everlasting covenant with them that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; and I will put the fear of Me in their hearts so that they will not turn away from Me.

nasb@Jeremiah:17:43 @' Fields will be bought in this land of which you say, " It is a desolation, without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans."

nasb@Jeremiah:17:33 @Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was still confined in the court of the guard, saying,

nasb@Jeremiah:17:10 @And all the officials and all the people obeyed who had entered into the covenant that each man should set free his male servant and each man his female servant, so that no one should keep them any longer in bondage; they obeyed, and set them free.

nasb@Jeremiah:17:6 @But they said, "We will not drink wine, for Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, commanded us, saying, 'You shall not drink wine, you or your sons, forever.

nasb@Jeremiah:17:14" @The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, which he commanded his sons not to drink wine, are observed. So they do not drink wine to this day, for they have obeyed their father's command. But I have spoken to you again and again; yet you have not listened to Me.

nasb@Jeremiah:17:16 @'Indeed, the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have observed the command of their father which he commanded them, but this people has not listened to Me.'"'

nasb@Jeremiah:17:5 @Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, "I am restricted; I cannot go into the house of the LORD.

nasb@Jeremiah:17:6" @So you go and read from the scroll which you have written at my dictation the words of the LORD to the people in the LORD'S house on a fast day. And also you shall read them to all the people of Judah who come from their cities.

nasb@Jeremiah:17:8 @Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading from the book the words of the LORD in the LORD'S house.

nasb@Jeremiah:17:9 @Now in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, all the people in Jerusalem and all the people who came from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem proclaimed a fast before the LORD.

nasb@Jeremiah:17:10 @Then Baruch read from the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of the LORD in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the upper court, at the entry of the New Gate of the LORD'S house, to all the people.

nasb@Jeremiah:17:11 @Now when Micaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard all the words of the LORD from the book,

nasb@Jeremiah:17:14 @Then all the officials sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, "Take in your hand the scroll from which you have read to the people and come." So Baruch the son of Neriah took the scroll in his hand and went to them.

nasb@Jeremiah:17:19 @Then the officials said to Baruch, "Go, hide yourself, you and Jeremiah, and do not let anyone know where you are."

nasb@Jeremiah:17:20 @So they went to the king in the court, but they had deposited the scroll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and they reported all the words to the king.

nasb@Jeremiah:17:21 @Then the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll, and he took it out of the chamber of Elishama the scribe. And Jehudi read it to the king as well as to all the officials who stood beside the king.

nasb@Jeremiah:17:26 @And the king commanded Jerahmeel the king's son, Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel to seize Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet, but the LORD hid them.

nasb@Jeremiah:17:27 @Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah after the king had burned the scroll and the words which Baruch had written at the dictation of Jeremiah, saying,

nasb@Jeremiah:17:28" @ Take again another scroll and write on it all the former words that were on the first scroll which Jehoiakim the king of Judah burned.

nasb@Jeremiah:17:29" @And concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah you shall say, 'Thus says the LORD, "You have burned this scroll, saying, ' Why have you written on it that the king of Babylon will certainly come and destroy this land, and will make man and beast to cease from it?'"

nasb@Jeremiah:18:2 @But neither he nor his servants nor the people of the land listened to the words of the LORD which He spoke through Jeremiah the prophet.

nasb@Jeremiah:18:6 @Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, saying,

nasb@Jeremiah:18:7" @Thus says the LORD God of Israel, ' Thus you are to say to the king of Judah, who sent you to Me to inquire of Me- "Behold, Pharaoh's army which has come out for your assistance is going to return to its own land of Egypt.

nasb@Jeremiah:18:13 @While he was at the Gate of Benjamin, a captain of the guard whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah the son of Hananiah was there; and he arrested Jeremiah the prophet, saying, "You are going over to the Chaldeans!"

nasb@Jeremiah:18:14 @But Jeremiah said, " A lie! I am not going over to the Chaldeans"; yet he would not listen to him. So Irijah arrested Jeremiah and brought him to the officials.

nasb@Jeremiah:18:15 @Then the officials were angry at Jeremiah and beat him, and they put him in jail in the house of Jonathan the scribe, which they had made into the prison.

nasb@Jeremiah:18:17 @Now King Zedekiah sent and took him out; and in his palace the king secretly asked him and said, "Is there a word from the LORD?" And Jeremiah said, "There is!" Then he said, "You will be given into the hand of the king of Babylon!"

nasb@Jeremiah:18:21 @Then King Zedekiah gave commandment, and they committed Jeremiah to the court of the guardhouse and gave him a loaf of bread daily from the bakers' street, until all the bread in the city was gone. So Jeremiah remained in the court of the guardhouse.

nasb@Jeremiah:18:38 @Now Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of Pashhur, and Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur the son of Malchijah heard the words that Jeremiah was speaking to all the people, saying,

nasb@Jeremiah:18:3" @Thus says the LORD, 'This city will certainly be given into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon and he will capture it.'"

nasb@Jeremiah:18:4 @Then the officials said to the king, "Now let this man be put to death, inasmuch as he is discouraging the men of war who are left in this city and all the people, by speaking such words to them; for this man is not seeking the well-being of this people but rather their harm."

nasb@Jeremiah:18:6 @Then they took Jeremiah and cast him into the cistern of Malchijah the king's son, which was in the court of the guardhouse; and they let Jeremiah down with ropes. Now in the cistern there was no water but only mud, and Jeremiah sank into the mud.

nasb@Jeremiah:18:7 @But Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, a eunuch, while he was in the king's palace, heard that they had put Jeremiah into the cistern. Now the king was sitting in the Gate of Benjamin;

nasb@Jeremiah:18:9" @My lord the king, these men have acted wickedly in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet whom they have cast into the cistern; and he will die right where he is because of the famine, for there is no more bread in the city."

nasb@Jeremiah:18:13 @So they pulled Jeremiah up with the ropes and lifted him out of the cistern, and Jeremiah stayed in the court of the guardhouse.

nasb@Jeremiah:18:14 @Then King Zedekiah sent and had Jeremiah the prophet brought to him at the third entrance that is in the house of the LORD; and the king said to Jeremiah, "I am going to ask you something; do not hide anything from me."

nasb@Jeremiah:18:16 @But King Zedekiah swore to Jeremiah in secret saying, "As the LORD lives, who made this life for us, surely I will not put you to death nor will I give you over to the hand of these men who are seeking your life."

nasb@Jeremiah:18:23 @'They will also bring out all your wives and your sons to the Chaldeans, and you yourself will not escape from their hand, but will be seized by the hand of the king of Babylon, and this city will be burned with fire.'"

nasb@Jeremiah:18:26 @then you are to say to them, 'I was presenting my petition before the king, not to make me return to the house of Jonathan to die there.'"

nasb@Jeremiah:18:27 @Then all the officials came to Jeremiah and questioned him. So he reported to them in accordance with all these words which the king had commanded; and they ceased speaking with him, since the conversation had not been overheard.

nasb@Jeremiah:18:28 @So Jeremiah stayed in the court of the guardhouse until the day that Jerusalem was captured.

nasb@Jeremiah:19:1 @Now when Jerusalem was captured in the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army came to Jerusalem and laid siege to it;

nasb@Jeremiah:19:4 @When Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, they fled and went out of the city at night by way of the king's garden through the gate between the two walls; and he went out toward the Arabah.

nasb@Jeremiah:19:5 @But the army of the Chaldeans pursued them and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and they seized him and brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon at Riblah in the land of Hamath, and he passed sentence on him.

nasb@Jeremiah:19:6 @Then the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes at Riblah; the king of Babylon also slew all the nobles of Judah.

nasb@Jeremiah:19:7 @He then blinded Zedekiah's eyes and bound him in fetters of bronze to bring him to Babylon.

nasb@Jeremiah:19:9 @As for the rest of the people who were left in the city, the deserters who had gone over to him and the rest of the people who remained, Nebuzaradan the captain of the bodyguard carried them into exile in Babylon.

nasb@Jeremiah:19:10 @But some of the poorest people who had nothing, Nebuzaradan the captain of the bodyguard left behind in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at that time.

nasb@Jeremiah:19:11 @Now Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon gave orders about Jeremiah through Nebuzaradan the captain of the bodyguard, saying,

nasb@Jeremiah:19:13 @So Nebuzaradan the captain of the bodyguard sent word, along with Nebushazban the Rab-saris, and Nergal-sar-ezer the Rab-mag, and all the leading officers of the king of Babylon;

nasb@Jeremiah:19:14 @they even sent and took Jeremiah out of the court of the guardhouse and entrusted him to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, to take him home. So he stayed among the people.

nasb@Jeremiah:19:15 @Now the word of the LORD had come to Jeremiah while he was confined in the court of the guardhouse, saying,

nasb@Jeremiah:19:16" @Go and speak to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, "Behold, I am about to bring My words on this city for disaster and not for prosperity; and they will take place before you on that day.

nasb@Jeremiah:20:1 @The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD after Nebuzaradan captain of the bodyguard had released him from Ramah, when he had taken him bound in chains among all the exiles of Jerusalem and Judah who were being exiled to Babylon.

nasb@Jeremiah:20:2 @Now the captain of the bodyguard had taken Jeremiah and said to him, "The LORD your God promised this calamity against this place;

nasb@Jeremiah:20:5 @As Jeremiah was still not going back, he said, "Go on back then to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon has appointed over the cities of Judah, and stay with him among the people; or else go anywhere it seems right for you to go." So the captain of the bodyguard gave him a ration and a gift and let him go.

nasb@Jeremiah:20:6 @Then Jeremiah went to Mizpah to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam and stayed with him among the people who were left in the land.

nasb@Jeremiah:20:7 @Now all the commanders of the forces that were in the field, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam over the land and that he had put him in charge of the men, women and children, those of the poorest of the land who had not been exiled to Babylon.

nasb@Jeremiah:20:8 @So they came to Gedaliah at Mizpah, along with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah the son of the Maacathite, both they and their men.

nasb@Jeremiah:20:9 @Then Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, swore to them and to their men, saying, " Do not be afraid of serving the Chaldeans; stay in the land and serve the king of Babylon, that it may go well with you.

nasb@Jeremiah:20:11 @Likewise, also all the Jews who were in Moab and among the sons of Ammon and in Edom and who were in all the other countries, heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant for Judah, and that he had appointed over them Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan.

nasb@Jeremiah:20:12 @Then all the Jews returned from all the places to which they had been driven away and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah at Mizpah, and gathered in wine and summer fruit in great abundance.

nasb@Jeremiah:20:13 @Now Johanan the son of Kareah and all the commanders of the forces that were in the field came to Gedaliah at Mizpah

nasb@Jeremiah:20:14 @and said to him, "Are you well aware that Baalis the king of the sons of Ammon has sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah to take your life?" But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam did not believe them.

nasb@Jeremiah:20:15 @Then Johanan the son of Kareah spoke secretly to Gedaliah in Mizpah, saying, " Let me go and kill Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and not a man will know! Why should he take your life, so that all the Jews who are gathered to you would be scattered and the remnant of Judah would perish?"

nasb@Jeremiah:20:16 @But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said to Johanan the son of Kareah, " Do not do this thing, for you are telling a lie about Ishmael."

nasb@Jeremiah:21:1 @In the seventh month Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal family and one of the chief officers of the king, along with ten men, came to Mizpah to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam. While they were eating bread together there in Mizpah,

nasb@Jeremiah:21:2 @Ishmael the son of Nethaniah and the ten men who were with him arose and struck down Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, with the sword and put to death the one whom the king of Babylon had appointed over the land.

nasb@Jeremiah:21:3 @Ishmael also struck down all the Jews who were with him, that is with Gedaliah at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans who were found there, the men of war.

nasb@Jeremiah:21:4 @Now it happened on the next day after the killing of Gedaliah, when no one knew about it,

nasb@Jeremiah:21:5 @that eighty men came from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria with their beards shaved off and their clothes torn and their bodies gashed, having grain offerings and incense in their hands to bring to the house of the LORD.

nasb@Jeremiah:21:6 @Then Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went out from Mizpah to meet them, weeping as he went; and as he met them, he said to them, "Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam!"

nasb@Jeremiah:21:7 @Yet it turned out that as soon as they came inside the city, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah and the men that were with him slaughtered them and cast them into the cistern.

nasb@Jeremiah:21:8 @But ten men who were found among them said to Ishmael, "Do not put us to death; for we have stores of wheat, barley, oil and honey hidden in the field." So he refrained and did not put them to death along with their companions.

nasb@Jeremiah:21:9 @Now as for the cistern where Ishmael had cast all the corpses of the men whom he had struck down because of Gedaliah, it was the one that King Asa had made on account of Baasha, king of Israel; Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with the slain.

nasb@Jeremiah:21:10 @Then Ishmael took captive all the remnant of the people who were in Mizpah, the king's daughters and all the people who were left in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the bodyguard had put under the charge of Gedaliah the son of Ahikam; thus Ishmael the son of Nethaniah took them captive and proceeded to cross over to the sons of Ammon.

nasb@Jeremiah:21:11 @But Johanan the son of Kareah and all the commanders of the forces that were with him heard of all the evil that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had done.

nasb@Jeremiah:21:12 @So they took all the men and went to fight with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah and they found him by the great pool that is in Gibeon.

nasb@Jeremiah:21:13 @Now as soon as all the people who were with Ishmael saw Johanan the son of Kareah and the commanders of the forces that were with him, they were glad.

nasb@Jeremiah:21:14 @So all the people whom Ishmael had taken captive from Mizpah turned around and came back, and went to Johanan the son of Kareah.

nasb@Jeremiah:21:15 @But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men and went to the sons of Ammon.

nasb@Jeremiah:21:16 @Then Johanan the son of Kareah and all the commanders of the forces that were with him took from Mizpah all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, after he had struck down Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, that is, the men who were soldiers, the women, the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought back from Gibeon.

nasb@Jeremiah:21:18 @because of the Chaldeans; for they were afraid of them, since Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had struck down Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had appointed over the land.

nasb@Jeremiah:22:1 @Then all the commanders of the forces, Johanan the son of Kareah, Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people both small and great approached

nasb@Ezekiel:1:1 @Now it came about in the thirtieth year, on the fifth day of the fourth month, while I was by the river Chebar among the exiles, the heavens were opened and I saw visions of God.

nasb@Ezekiel:1:2 @(On the fifth of the month in the fifth year of King Jehoiachin's exile,

nasb@Ezekiel:1:3 @the word of the LORD came expressly to Ezekiel the priest, son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and there the hand of the LORD came upon him.)

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:1:6 @Each of them had four faces and four wings.

nasb@Ezekiel:1:7 @Their legs were straight and their feet were like a calf's hoof, and they gleamed like burnished bronze.

nasb@Ezekiel:1:8 @Under their wings on their four sides were human hands. As for the faces and wings of the four of them,

nasb@Ezekiel:1:10 @As for the form of their faces, each had the face of a man; all four had the face of a lion on the right and the face of a bull on the left, and all four had the face of an eagle.

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:1:17 @Whenever they moved, they moved in any of their four directions without turning as they moved.

nasb@Ezekiel:1:18 @As for their rims they were lofty and awesome, and the rims of all four of them were full of eyes round about.

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:1:24 @I also heard the sound of their wings like the sound of abundant waters as they went, like the voice of the Almighty, a sound of tumult like the sound of an army camp; whenever they stood still, they dropped their wings.

nasb@Ezekiel:1:26 @Now above the expanse that was over their heads there was something resembling a throne, like lapis lazuli in appearance; and on that which resembled a throne, high up, was a figure with the appearance of a man.

nasb@Ezekiel:1:27 @Then I noticed from the appearance of His loins and upward something like glowing metal that looked like fire all around within it, and from the appearance of His loins and downward I saw something like fire; and there was a radiance around Him.

nasb@Ezekiel:1:28 @As the appearance of the rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the surrounding radiance. Such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell on my face and heard a voice speaking.

nasb@Ezekiel:2:1 @Then He said to me, "Son of man, stand on your feet that I may speak with you!"

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:2:6" @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:2:8" @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:3:1 @Then He said to me, "Son of man, eat what you find; eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel."

nasb@Ezekiel:3:3 @He said to me, "Son of man, feed your stomach and fill your body with this scroll which I am giving you." Then I ate it, and it was sweet as honey in my mouth.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:4 @Then He said to me, "Son of man, go to the house of Israel and speak with My words to them.

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:3:6 @nor to many peoples of unintelligible speech or difficult language, whose words you cannot understand. But I have sent you to them who should listen to you;

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:3:9" @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:3:10 @Moreover, He said to me, "Son of man, take into your heart all My words which I will speak to you and listen closely.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:11" @Go to the exiles, to the sons of your people, and speak to them and tell them, whether they listen or not, 'Thus says the Lord GOD.'"

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:3:14 @So the Spirit lifted me up and took me away; and I went embittered in the rage of my spirit, and the hand of the LORD was strong on me.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:16 @At the end of seven days the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

nasb@Ezekiel:3:17" @Son of man, I have appointed you a watchman to the house of Israel; whenever you hear a word from My mouth, warn them from Me.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:22 @The hand of the LORD was on me there, and He said to me, "Get up, go out to the plain, and there I will speak to you."

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:3:25" @As for you, son of man, they will put ropes on you and bind you with them so that you cannot go out among them.

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:3:4" @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:3:7" @Then you shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem with your arm bared and prophesy against it.

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

nasb@Ezekiel:3:13 @Then the LORD said, "Thus will the sons of Israel eat their bread unclean among the nations where I will banish them."

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:3:15 @Then He said to me, "See, I will give you cow's dung in place of human dung over which you will prepare your bread."

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:3:5" @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:3:4" @Take again some of them and throw them into the fire and burn them in the fire; from it a fire will spread to all the house of Israel.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:5" @Thus says the Lord GOD, 'This is Jerusalem; I have set her at the center of the nations, with lands around her.

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:3:12 @'One third of you will die by plague or be consumed by famine among you, one third will fall by the sword around you, and one third I will scatter to every wind, and I will unsheathe a sword behind them.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:14 @'Moreover, I will make you a desolation and a reproach among the nations which surround you, in the sight of all who pass by.

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:3:16 @'When I send against them the deadly arrows of famine which were for the destruction of those whom I will send to destroy you, then I will also intensify the famine upon you and break the staff of bread.

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:3:6 @And the word of the LORD came to me saying,

nasb@Ezekiel:3:2" @Son of man, set your face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them

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:3:4" @So your altars will become desolate and your incense altars will be smashed; and I will make your slain fall in front of your idols.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:5" @I will also lay the dead bodies of the sons of Israel in front of their idols; and I will scatter your bones around your altars.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:9" @Then those of you who escape will remember Me among the nations to which they will be carried captive, how I have been hurt by their adulterous hearts which turned away from Me, and by their eyes which played the harlot after their idols; and they will loathe themselves in their own sight for the evils which they have committed, for all their abominations.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:11" @Thus says the Lord GOD, 'Clap your hand, stamp your foot and say, " Alas, because of all the evil abominations of the house of Israel, which will fall by sword, famine and plague!

nasb@Ezekiel:3:12" @He who is far off will die by the plague, and he who is near will fall by the sword, and he who remains and is besieged will die by the famine. Thus will I spend My wrath on them.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:13" @Then you will know that I am the LORD, when their slain are among their idols around their altars, on every high hill, on all the tops of the mountains, under every green tree and under every leafy oak--the places where they offered soothing aroma to all their idols.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:7 @Moreover, the word of the LORD came to me saying,

nasb@Ezekiel:3:2" @And you, son of man, thus says the Lord GOD to the land of Israel, 'An end! The end is coming on the four corners of the land.

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:4:11 @Standing in front of them were seventy elders of the house of Israel, with Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan standing among them, each man with his censer in his hand and the fragrance of the cloud of incense rising.

nasb@Ezekiel:4:12 @Then He said to me, "Son of man, do you see what the elders of the house of Israel are committing in the dark, each man in the room of his carved images? For they say, ' The LORD does not see us; the LORD has forsaken the land.'"

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:4:15 @He said to me, "Do you see this, son of man? Yet you will see still greater abominations than these."

nasb@Ezekiel:4:16 @Then He brought me into the inner court of the LORD'S house. And behold, at the entrance to the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men with their backs to the temple of the LORD and their faces toward the east; and they were prostrating themselves eastward toward the sun.

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:5:3 @Then the glory of the God of Israel went up from the cherub on which it had been, to the threshold of the temple. And He called to the man clothed in linen at whose loins was the writing case.

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:5:8 @As they were striking the people and I alone was left, I fell on my face and cried out saying, " Alas, Lord GOD! Are You destroying the whole remnant of Israel by pouring out Your wrath on Jerusalem?"

nasb@Ezekiel:5:9 @Then He said to me, "The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is very, very great, and the land is filled with blood and the city is full of perversion; for they say, 'The LORD has forsaken the land, and the LORD does not see!'

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:6:3 @Now the cherubim were standing on the right side of the temple when the man entered, and the cloud filled the inner court.

nasb@Ezekiel:6:4 @Then the glory of the LORD went up from the cherub to the threshold of the temple, and the temple was filled with the cloud and the court was filled with the brightness of the glory of the LORD.

nasb@Ezekiel:6:5 @Moreover, the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard as far as the outer court, like the voice of God Almighty when He speaks.

nasb@Ezekiel:6:8 @The cherubim appeared to have the form of a man's hand under their wings.

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:6:10 @As for their appearance, all four of them had the same likeness, as if one wheel were within another wheel.

nasb@Ezekiel:6:11 @When they moved, they went in any of their four directions without turning as they went; but they followed in the direction which they faced, without turning as they went.

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:6:14 @And each one had four faces. The first face was the face of a cherub, the second face was the face of a man, the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.

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:6:18 @Then the glory of the LORD departed from the threshold of the temple and stood over the cherubim.

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:6:22 @As for the likeness of their faces, they were the same faces whose appearance I had seen by the river Chebar. Each one went straight ahead.

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:7:2 @He said to me, "Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity and give evil advice in this city,

nasb@Ezekiel:7:4" @Therefore, prophesy against them, son of man, prophesy!"

nasb@Ezekiel:7:5 @Then the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me, and He said to me, "Say, 'Thus says the LORD, "So you think, house of Israel, for I know your thoughts.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:7 @'Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD, "Your slain whom you have laid in the midst of the city are the flesh and this city is the pot; but I will bring you out of it.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:9" @And I will bring you out of the midst of the city and deliver you into the hands of strangers and execute judgments against you.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:10" @You will fall by the sword. I will judge you to the border of Israel; so you shall know that I am the LORD.

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:7:12" @Thus you will know that I am the LORD; for you have not walked in My statutes nor have you executed My ordinances, but have acted according to the ordinances of the nations around you."'"

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:7:14 @Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

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:7:19" @And I will give them one heart, and put a new spirit within them. And I will take the heart of stone out of their flesh and give them a heart of flesh,

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:7:23 @The glory of the LORD went up from the midst of the city and stood over the mountain which is east of the city.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:24 @And the Spirit lifted me up and brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God to the exiles in Chaldea. So the vision that I had seen left me.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:12 @Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

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:7:6" @Load the baggage on your shoulder in their sight and carry it out in the dark. You shall cover your face so that you cannot see the land, for I have set you as a sign to the house of Israel."

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:7:8 @In the morning the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

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:7:10" @Say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "This burden concerns the prince in Jerusalem as well as all the house of Israel who are in it."'

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:7:16" @But I will spare a few of them from the sword, the famine and the pestilence that they may tell all their abominations among the nations where they go, and may know that I am the LORD."

nasb@Ezekiel:7:17 @Moreover, the word of the LORD came to me saying,

nasb@Ezekiel:7:18" @Son of man, eat your bread with trembling and drink your water with quivering and anxiety.

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:7:21 @Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

nasb@Ezekiel:7:22" @Son of man, what is this proverb you people have concerning the land of Israel, saying, 'The days are long and every vision fails'?

nasb@Ezekiel:7:23" @Therefore say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "I will make this proverb cease so that they will no longer use it as a proverb in Israel." But tell them, " The days draw near as well as the fulfillment of every vision.

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

nasb@Ezekiel:7:26 @Furthermore, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

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:7:13 @Then the word of the LORD came to me saying,

nasb@Ezekiel:7:2" @Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who prophesy, and say to those who prophesy from their own inspiration, ' Listen to the word of the LORD!

nasb@Ezekiel:7:5" @You have not gone up into the breaches, nor did you build the wall around the house of Israel to stand in the battle on the day of the LORD.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:6" @They see falsehood and lying divination who are saying, 'The LORD declares,' when the LORD has not sent them; yet they hope for the fulfillment of their word.

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:7:16 @along with the prophets of Israel who prophesy to Jerusalem, and who see visions of peace for her when there is no peace,' declares the Lord GOD.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:17" @Now you, son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people who are prophesying from their own inspiration. Prophesy against them

nasb@Ezekiel:7:18 @and say, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "Woe to the women who sew magic bands on all wrists and make veils for the heads of persons of every stature to hunt down lives! Will you hunt down the lives of My people, but preserve the lives of others for yourselves?

nasb@Ezekiel:7:19" @ For handfuls of barley and fragments of bread, you have profaned Me to My people to put to death some who should not die and to keep others alive who should not live, by your lying to My people who listen to lies."'"

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

nasb@Ezekiel:8:2 @And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

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:8:5 @in order to lay hold of the hearts of the house of Israel who are estranged from Me through all their idols."'

nasb@Ezekiel:8:6" @Therefore say to the house of Israel, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, " Repent and turn away from your idols and turn your faces away from all your abominations.

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:8:8" @I will set My face against that man and make him a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from among My people. So you will know that I am the LORD.

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:8:12 @Then the word of the LORD came to me saying,

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:8:17" @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:8:19" @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:8:15 @Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

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:8:4" @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:8:6" @Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD, 'As the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so have I given up the inhabitants of Jerusalem;

nasb@Ezekiel:8:7 @and I set My face against them. Though they have come out of the fire, yet the fire will consume them. Then you will know that I am the LORD, when I set My face against them.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:16 @Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

nasb@Ezekiel:8:2" @Son of man, make known to Jerusalem her abominations

nasb@Ezekiel:8:3 @and say, 'Thus says the Lord GOD to Jerusalem, "Your origin and your birth are from the land of the Canaanite, your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hittite.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:5" @No eye looked with pity on you to do any of these things for you, to have compassion on you. Rather you were thrown out into the open field, for you were abhorred on the day you were born.

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:8:9" @Then I bathed you with water, washed off your blood from you and anointed you with oil.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:10" @I also clothed you with embroidered cloth and put sandals of porpoise skin on your feet; and I wrapped you with fine linen and covered you with silk.

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:8:16" @You took some of your clothes, made for yourself high places of various colors and played the harlot on them, which should never come about nor happen.

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:8:21" @You slaughtered My children and offered them up to idols by causing them to pass through the fire.

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:8:29" @You also multiplied your harlotry with the land of merchants, Chaldea, yet even with this you were not satisfied."'"

nasb@Ezekiel:8:30" @How languishing is your heart," declares the Lord GOD, "while you do all these things, the actions of a bold-faced harlot.

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:8:35 @Therefore, O harlot, hear the word of the LORD.

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:8:38" @Thus I will judge you like women who commit adultery or shed blood are judged; and I will bring on you the blood of wrath and jealousy.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:39" @I will also give you into the hands of your lovers, and they will tear down your shrines, demolish your high places, strip you of your clothing, take away your jewels, and will leave you naked and bare.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:41" @They will burn your houses with fire and execute judgments on you in the sight of many women. Then I will stop you from playing the harlot, and you will also no longer pay your lovers.

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:8:45" @You are the daughter of your mother, who loathed her husband and children. You are also the sister of your sisters, who loathed their husbands and children. Your mother was a Hittite and your father an Amorite.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:46" @Now your older sister is Samaria, who lives north of you with her daughters; and your younger sister, who lives south of you, is Sodom with her daughters.

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:8:51" @Furthermore, Samaria did not commit half of your sins, for you have multiplied your abominations more than they. Thus you have made your sisters appear righteous by all your abominations which you have committed.

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:8:53" @Nevertheless, I will restore their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and along with them your own captivity,

nasb@Ezekiel:8:56" @As the name of your sister Sodom was not heard from your lips in your day of pride,

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:8:58" @You have borne the penalty of your lewdness and abominations," the LORD declares.

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:8:17 @Now the word of the LORD came to me saying,

nasb@Ezekiel:10:16 @because they rejected My ordinances, and as for My statutes, they did not walk in them; they even profaned My sabbaths, for their heart continually went after their idols.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:18" @I said to their children in the wilderness, ' Do not walk in the statutes of your fathers or keep their ordinances or defile yourselves with their idols.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:21" @But the children rebelled against Me; they did not walk in My statutes, nor were they careful to observe My ordinances, by which, if a man observes them, he will live; they profaned My sabbaths. So I resolved to pour out My wrath on them, to accomplish My anger against them in the wilderness.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:22" @But I withdrew My hand and acted for the sake of My name, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations in whose sight I had brought them out.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:24 @because they had not observed My ordinances, but had rejected My statutes and had profaned My sabbaths, and their eyes were on the idols of their fathers.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:26 @and I pronounced them unclean because of their gifts, in that they caused all their firstborn to pass through the fire so that I might make them desolate, in order that they might know that I am the LORD."'

nasb@Ezekiel:10:27" @Therefore, son of man, speak to the house of Israel and say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "Yet in this your fathers have blasphemed Me by acting treacherously against Me.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:28" @When I had brought them into the land which I swore to give to them, then they saw every high hill and every leafy tree, and they offered there their sacrifices and there they presented the provocation of their offering.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:36" @As I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will enter into judgment with you," declares the Lord GOD.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:37" @I will make you pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant;

nasb@Ezekiel:10:38 @and I will purge from you the rebels and those who transgress against Me; I will bring them out of the land where they sojourn, but they will not enter the land of Israel. Thus you will know that I am the LORD.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:39" @As for you, O house of Israel," thus says the Lord GOD, " Go, serve everyone his idols; but later you will surely listen to Me, and My holy name you will profane no longer with your gifts and with your idols.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:40" @For on My holy mountain, on the high mountain of Israel," declares the Lord GOD, "there the whole house of Israel, all of them, will serve Me in the land; there I will accept them and there I will seek your contributions and the choicest of your gifts, with all your holy things.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:41" @As a soothing aroma I will accept you when I bring you out from the peoples and gather you from the lands where you are scattered; and I will prove Myself holy among you in the sight of the nations.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:44" @Then you will know that I am the LORD when I have dealt with you for My name's sake, not according to your evil ways or according to your corrupt deeds, O house of Israel," declares the Lord GOD.'"

nasb@Ezekiel:10:45 @Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

nasb@Ezekiel:10:49 @Then I said, "Ah Lord GOD! They are saying of me, 'Is he not just speaking parables?'"

nasb@Ezekiel:10:21 @And the word of the LORD came to me saying,

nasb@Ezekiel:10:8 @Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

nasb@Ezekiel:10:9" @Son of man, prophesy and say, 'Thus says the LORD.' Say, ' A sword, a sword sharpened And also polished!

nasb@Ezekiel:10:19" @As for you, son of man, make two ways for the sword of the king of Babylon to come; both of them will go out of one land. And make a signpost; make it at the head of the way to the city.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:20" @You shall mark a way for the sword to come to Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, and to Judah into fortified Jerusalem.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:21" @For the king of Babylon stands at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination; he shakes the arrows, he consults the household idols, he looks at the liver.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:17 @And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

nasb@Ezekiel:10:23 @And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

nasb@Ezekiel:10:24" @Son of man, say to her, 'You are a land that is not cleansed or rained on in the day of indignation.'

nasb@Ezekiel:10:25" @There is a conspiracy of her prophets in her midst like a roaring lion tearing the prey. They have devoured lives; they have taken treasure and precious things; they have made many widows in the midst of her.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:26" @Her priests have done violence to My law and have profaned My holy things; they have made no distinction between the holy and the profane, and they have not taught the difference between the unclean and the clean; and they hide their eyes from My sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:29" @The people of the land have practiced oppression and committed robbery, and they have wronged the poor and needy and have oppressed the sojourner without justice.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:31" @Thus I have poured out My indignation on them; I have consumed them with the fire of My wrath; their way I have brought upon their heads," declares the Lord GOD.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:23 @The word of the LORD came to me again, saying,

nasb@Ezekiel:10:2" @Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother;

nasb@Ezekiel:10:6 @who were clothed in purple, governors and officials, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on horses.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:7" @She bestowed her harlotries on them, all of whom were the choicest men of Assyria; and with all whom she lusted after, with all their idols she defiled herself.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:9" @Therefore, I gave her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, after whom she lusted.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:11" @Now her sister Oholibah saw this, yet she was more corrupt in her lust than she, and her harlotries were more than the harlotries of her sister.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:12" @She lusted after the Assyrians, governors and officials, the ones near, magnificently dressed, horsemen riding on horses, all of them desirable young men.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:14" @So she increased her harlotries. And she saw men portrayed on the wall, images of the Chaldeans portrayed with vermilion,

nasb@Ezekiel:10:15 @girded with belts on their loins, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them looking like officers, like the Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their birth.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:17" @The Babylonians came to her to the bed of love and defiled her with their harlotry. And when she had been defiled by them, she became disgusted with them.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:19" @Yet she multiplied her harlotries, remembering the days of her youth, when she played the harlot in the land of Egypt.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:20" @She lusted after their paramours, whose flesh is like the flesh of donkeys and whose issue is like the issue of horses.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:21" @Thus you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when the Egyptians handled your bosom because of the breasts of your youth.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:23 @the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them; desirable young men, governors and officials all of them, officers and men of renown, all of them riding on horses.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:24 @'They will come against you with weapons, chariots and wagons, and with a company of peoples. They will set themselves against you on every side with buckler and shield and helmet; and I will commit the judgment to them, and they will judge you according to their customs.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:27 @'Thus I will make your lewdness and your harlotry brought from the land of Egypt to cease from you, so that you will not lift up your eyes to them or remember Egypt anymore.'

nasb@Ezekiel:10:29 @'They will deal with you in hatred, take all your property, and leave you naked and bare. And the nakedness of your harlotries will be uncovered, both your lewdness and your harlotries.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:33 @'You will be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, The cup of horror and desolation, The cup of your sister Samaria.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:36 @Moreover, the LORD said to me, "Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? Then declare to them their abominations.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:38" @Again, they have done this to Me- they have defiled My sanctuary on the same day and have profaned My sabbaths.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:39" @For when they had slaughtered their children for their idols, they entered My sanctuary on the same day to profane it; and lo, thus they did within My house.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:42" @The sound of a carefree multitude was with her; and drunkards were brought from the wilderness with men of the common sort. And they put bracelets on the hands of the women and beautiful crowns on their heads.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:45" @But they, righteous men, will judge them with the judgment of adulteresses and with the judgment of women who shed blood, because they are adulteresses and blood is on their hands.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:49 @'Your lewdness will be requited upon you, and you will bear the penalty of worshiping your idols; thus you will know that I am the Lord GOD.'"

nasb@Ezekiel:10:24 @And the word of the LORD came to me in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, saying,

nasb@Ezekiel:11:17" @Son of man, when the house of Israel was living in their own land, they defiled it by their ways and their deeds; their way before Me was like the uncleanness of a woman in her impurity.

nasb@Ezekiel:11:20" @When they came to the nations where they went, they profaned My holy name, because it was said of them, 'These are the people of the LORD; yet they have come out of His land.'

nasb@Ezekiel:14:1 @In the twenty-fifth year of our exile, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city was taken, on that same day the hand of the LORD was upon me and He brought me there.

nasb@Ezekiel:14:2 @In the visions of God He brought me into the land of Israel and set me on a very high mountain, and on it to the south there was a structure like a city.

nasb@Ezekiel:14:3 @So He brought me there; and behold, there was a man whose appearance was like the appearance of bronze, with a line of flax and a measuring rod in his hand; and he was standing in the gateway.

nasb@Ezekiel:14:4 @The man said to me, " Son of man, see with your eyes, hear with your ears, and give attention to all that I am going to show you; for you have been brought here in order to show it to you. Declare to the house of Israel all that you see."

nasb@Ezekiel:14:5 @And behold, there was a wall on the outside of the temple all around, and in the man's hand was a measuring rod of six cubits, each of which was a cubit and a handbreadth. So he measured the thickness of the wall, one rod; and the height, one rod.

nasb@Ezekiel:14:6 @Then he went to the gate which faced east, went up its steps and measured the threshold of the gate, one rod in width; and the other threshold was one rod in width.

nasb@Ezekiel:14:7 @The guardroom was one rod long and one rod wide; and there were five cubits between the guardrooms. And the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate facing inward was one rod.

nasb@Ezekiel:14:8 @Then he measured the porch of the gate facing inward, one rod.

nasb@Ezekiel:14:9 @He measured the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and its side pillars, two cubits. And the porch of the gate was faced inward.

nasb@Ezekiel:14:10 @The guardrooms of the gate toward the east numbered three on each side; the three of them had the same measurement. The side pillars also had the same measurement on each side.

nasb@Ezekiel:14:11 @And he measured the width of the gateway, ten cubits, and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits.

nasb@Ezekiel:14:12 @There was a barrier wall one cubit wide in front of the guardrooms on each side; and the guardrooms were six cubits square on each side.

nasb@Ezekiel:14:13 @He measured the gate from the roof of the one guardroom to the roof of the other, a width of twenty-five cubits from one door to the door opposite.

nasb@Ezekiel:14:14 @He made the side pillars sixty cubits high; the gate extended round about to the side pillar of the courtyard.

nasb@Ezekiel:14:15 @From the front of the entrance gate to the front of the inner porch of the gate was fifty cubits.

nasb@Ezekiel:14:18 @The pavement (that is, the lower pavement) was by the side of the gates, corresponding to the length of the gates.

nasb@Ezekiel:14:19 @Then he measured the width from the front of the lower gate to the front of the exterior of the inner court, a hundred cubits on the east and on the north.

nasb@Ezekiel:14:20 @As for the gate of the outer court which faced the north, he measured its length and its width.

nasb@Ezekiel:14:22 @Its windows and its porches and its palm tree ornaments had the same measurements as the gate which faced toward the east; and it was reached by seven steps, and its porch was in front of them.

nasb@Ezekiel:14:26 @There were seven steps going up to it, and its porches were in front of them; and it had palm tree ornaments on its side pillars, one on each side.

nasb@Ezekiel:14:38 @A chamber with its doorway was by the side pillars at the gates; there they rinse the burnt offering.

nasb@Ezekiel:14:39 @In the porch of the gate were two tables on each side, on which to slaughter the burnt offering, the sin offering and the guilt offering.

nasb@Ezekiel:14:40 @On the outer side, as one went up to the gateway toward the north, were two tables; and on the other side of the porch of the gate were two tables.

nasb@Ezekiel:14:42 @For the burnt offering there were four tables of hewn stone, a cubit and a half long, a cubit and a half wide and one cubit high, on which they lay the instruments with which they slaughter the burnt offering and the sacrifice.

nasb@Ezekiel:14:43 @The double hooks, one handbreadth in length, were installed in the house all around; and on the tables was the flesh of the offering.

nasb@Ezekiel:14:44 @From the outside to the inner gate were chambers for the singers in the inner court, one of which was at the side of the north gate, with its front toward the south, and one at the side of the south gate facing toward the north.

nasb@Ezekiel:14:45 @He said to me, "This is the chamber which faces toward the south, intended for the priests who keep charge of the temple;

nasb@Ezekiel:14:46 @but the chamber which faces toward the north is for the priests who keep charge of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, who from the sons of Levi come near to the LORD to minister to Him."

nasb@Ezekiel:14:47 @He measured the court, a perfect square, a hundred cubits long and a hundred cubits wide; and the altar was in front of the temple.

nasb@Ezekiel:14:48 @Then he brought me to the porch of the temple and measured each side pillar of the porch, five cubits on each side; and the width of the gate was three cubits on each side.

nasb@Ezekiel:14:49 @The length of the porch was twenty cubits and the width eleven cubits; and at the stairway by which it was ascended were columns belonging to the side pillars, one on each side.

nasb@Ezekiel:15:1 @Then he brought me to the nave and measured the side pillars; six cubits wide on each side was the width of the side pillar.

nasb@Ezekiel:15:2 @The width of the entrance was ten cubits and the sides of the entrance were five cubits on each side. And he measured the length of the nave, forty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits.

nasb@Ezekiel:15:3 @Then he went inside and measured each side pillar of the doorway, two cubits, and the doorway, six cubits high; and the width of the doorway, seven cubits.

nasb@Ezekiel:15:5 @Then he measured the wall of the temple, six cubits; and the width of the side chambers, four cubits, all around about the house on every side.

nasb@Ezekiel:15:6 @The side chambers were in three stories, one above another, and thirty in each story; and the side chambers extended to the wall which stood on their inward side all around, that they might be fastened, and not be fastened into the wall of the temple itself.

nasb@Ezekiel:15:7 @The side chambers surrounding the temple were wider at each successive story. Because the structure surrounding the temple went upward by stages on all sides of the temple, therefore the width of the temple increased as it went higher; and thus one went up from the lowest story to the highest by way of the second story.

nasb@Ezekiel:15:8 @I saw also that the house had a raised platform all around; the foundations of the side chambers were a full rod of six long cubits in height.

nasb@Ezekiel:15:9 @The thickness of the outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits. But the free space between the side chambers belonging to the temple

nasb@Ezekiel:15:11 @The doorways of the side chambers toward the free space consisted of one doorway toward the north and another doorway toward the south; and the width of the free space was five cubits all around.

nasb@Ezekiel:15:12 @The building that was in front of the separate area at the side toward the west was seventy cubits wide; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, and its length was ninety cubits.

nasb@Ezekiel:15:14 @Also the width of the front of the temple and that of the separate areas along the east side totaled a hundred cubits.

nasb@Ezekiel:15:15 @He measured the length of the building along the front of the separate area behind it, with a gallery on each side, a hundred cubits; he also measured the inner nave and the porches of the court.

nasb@Ezekiel:15:20 @From the ground to above the entrance cherubim and palm trees were carved, as well as on the wall of the nave.

nasb@Ezekiel:15:21 @The doorposts of the nave were square; as for the front of the sanctuary, the appearance of one doorpost was like that of the other.

nasb@Ezekiel:15:22 @The altar was of wood, three cubits high and its length two cubits; its corners, its base and its sides were of wood. And he said to me, "This is the table that is before the LORD."

nasb@Ezekiel:15:24 @Each of the doors had two leaves, two swinging leaves; two leaves for one door and two leaves for the other.

nasb@Ezekiel:15:25 @Also there were carved on them, on the doors of the nave, cherubim and palm trees like those carved on the walls; and there was a threshold of wood on the front of the porch outside.

nasb@Ezekiel:15:26 @There were latticed windows and palm trees on one side and on the other, on the sides of the porch; thus were the side chambers of the house and the thresholds.

nasb@Ezekiel:16:4 @Before the chambers was an inner walk ten cubits wide, a way of one hundred cubits; and their openings were on the north.

nasb@Ezekiel:16:6 @For they were in three stories and had no pillars like the pillars of the courts; therefore the upper chambers were set back from the ground upward, more than the lower and middle ones.

nasb@Ezekiel:16:7 @As for the outer wall by the side of the chambers, toward the outer court facing the chambers, its length was fifty cubits.

nasb@Ezekiel:16:8 @For the length of the chambers which were in the outer court was fifty cubits; and behold, the length of those facing the temple was a hundred cubits.

nasb@Ezekiel:16:10 @In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, facing the separate area and facing the building, there were chambers.

nasb@Ezekiel:16:11 @The way in front of them was like the appearance of the chambers which were on the north, according to their length so was their width, and all their exits were both according to their arrangements and openings.

nasb@Ezekiel:16:12 @Corresponding to the openings of the chambers which were toward the south was an opening at the head of the way, the way in front of the wall toward the east, as one enters them.

nasb@Ezekiel:16:13 @Then he said to me, "The north chambers and the south chambers, which are opposite the separate area, they are the holy chambers where the priests who are near to the LORD shall eat the most holy things. There they shall lay the most holy things, the grain offering, the sin offering and the guilt offering; for the place is holy.

nasb@Ezekiel:16:15 @Now when he had finished measuring the inner house, he brought me out by the way of the gate which faced toward the east and measured it all around.

nasb@Ezekiel:16:20 @He measured it on the four sides; it had a wall all around, the length five hundred and the width five hundred, to divide between the holy and the profane.

nasb@Ezekiel:17:2 @and behold, the glory of the God of Israel was coming from the way of the east. And His voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth shone with His glory.

nasb@Ezekiel:17:3 @And it was like the appearance of the vision which I saw, like the vision which I saw when He came to destroy the city. And the visions were like the vision which I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell on my face.

nasb@Ezekiel:17:4 @And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate facing toward the east.

nasb@Ezekiel:17:5 @And the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house.

nasb@Ezekiel:17:7 @He said to me, "Son of man, this is the place of My throne and the place of the soles of My feet, where I will dwell among the sons of Israel forever.

nasb@Ezekiel:17:9" @Now let them put away their harlotry and the corpses of their kings far from Me; and I will dwell among them forever.

nasb@Ezekiel:17:10" @As for you, son of man, describe the temple to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the plan.

nasb@Ezekiel:17:11" @If they are ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the design of the house, its structure, its exits, its entrances, all its designs, all its statutes, and all its laws.

nasb@Ezekiel:17:12" @This is the law of the house- its entire area on the top of the mountain all around shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.

nasb@Ezekiel:17:13" @And these are the measurements of the altar by cubits (the cubit being a cubit and a handbreadth)- the base shall be a cubit and the width a cubit, and its border on its edge round about one span; and this shall be the height of the base of the altar.

nasb@Ezekiel:17:18 @And He said to me, " Son of man, thus says the Lord GOD, 'These are the statutes for the altar on the day it is built, to offer burnt offerings on it and to sprinkle blood on it.

nasb@Ezekiel:17:19 @'You shall give to the Levitical priests who are from the offspring of Zadok, who draw near to Me to minister to Me,' declares the Lord GOD, 'a young bull for a sin offering.

nasb@Ezekiel:17:20 @'You shall take some of its blood and put it on its four horns and on the four corners of the ledge and on the border round about; thus you shall cleanse it and make atonement for it.

nasb@Daniel:1:10 @and the commander of the officials said to Daniel, "I am afraid of my lord the king, who has appointed your food and your drink; for why should he see your faces looking more haggard than the youths who are your own age? Then you would make me forfeit my head to the king."

nasb@Daniel:2:16 @So Daniel went in and requested of the king that he would give him time, in order that he might declare the interpretation to the king.

nasb@Daniel:2:18 @so that they might request compassion from the God of heaven concerning this mystery, so that Daniel and his friends would not be destroyed with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

nasb@Daniel:2:19 @Then the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven;

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:2:33 @its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay.

nasb@Daniel:2:34" @You continued looking until a stone was cut out without hands, and it struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and crushed them.

nasb@Daniel:2:35" @Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were crushed all at the same time and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away so that not a trace of them was found.

nasb@Daniel:2:37" @You, O king, are the king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, the strength and the glory;

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:2:39" @After you there will arise another kingdom inferior to you, then another third kingdom of bronze, which will rule over all the earth.

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:2:43" @And in that you saw the iron mixed with common clay, they will combine with one another in the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, even as iron does not combine with pottery.

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:2:45" @Inasmuch as you saw that a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands and that it crushed the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver and the gold, the great God has made known to the king what will take place in the future; so the dream is true and its interpretation is trustworthy."

nasb@Daniel:2:46 @Then King Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face and did homage to Daniel, and gave orders to present to him an offering and fragrant incense.

nasb@Daniel:2:47 @The king answered Daniel and said, "Surely your God is a God of gods and a Lord of kings and a revealer of mysteries, since you have been able to reveal this mystery."

nasb@Daniel:2:49 @And Daniel made request of the king, and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego over the administration of the province of Babylon, while Daniel was at the king's court.

nasb@Daniel:3:1 @Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, the height of which was sixty cubits and its width six cubits; he set it up on the plain of Dura in the province of Babylon.

nasb@Daniel:3:2 @Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent word to assemble the satraps, the prefects and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the judges, the magistrates and all the rulers of the provinces to come to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.

nasb@Daniel:3:3 @Then the satraps, the prefects and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the judges, the magistrates and all the rulers of the provinces were assembled for the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up.

nasb@Daniel:3:4 @Then the herald loudly proclaimed- "To you the command is given, O peoples, nations and men of every language,

nasb@Daniel:3:5 @that at the moment you hear the sound of the horn, flute, lyre, trigon, psaltery, bagpipe and all kinds of music, you are to fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has set up.

nasb@Daniel:3:6" @But whoever does not fall down and worship shall immediately be cast into the midst of a furnace of blazing fire."

nasb@Daniel:3:7 @Therefore at that time, when all the peoples heard the sound of the horn, flute, lyre, trigon, psaltery, bagpipe and all kinds of music, all the peoples, nations and men of every language fell down and worshiped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.

nasb@Daniel:3:10" @You, O king, have made a decree that every man who hears the sound of the horn, flute, lyre, trigon, psaltery, and bagpipe and all kinds of music, is to fall down and worship the golden image.

nasb@Daniel:3:11" @But whoever does not fall down and worship shall be cast into the midst of a furnace of blazing fire.

nasb@Daniel:3:12" @There are certain Jews whom you have appointed over the administration of the province of Babylon, namely Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego. These men, O king, have disregarded you; they do not serve your gods or worship the golden image which you have set up."

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. But if you do not worship, you will immediately be cast into the midst of a furnace of blazing fire; and what god is there who can deliver you out of my hands?"

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:3:20 @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:3:21 @Then these men were tied up in their trousers, their coats, their caps and their other clothes, and were cast into the midst of 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:3:24 @Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astounded and stood up in haste; he said to his high officials, "Was it not three men we cast bound into the midst of the fire?" They replied to the king, "Certainly, O king."

nasb@Daniel:3:25 @He said, "Look! I see four men loosed and walking about in the midst of the fire without harm, and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods!"

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:3:27 @The satraps, the prefects, the governors and the king's high officials gathered around and saw in regard to these men that the fire had no effect on the bodies of these men nor was the hair of their head singed, nor were their trousers damaged, nor had the smell of fire even come upon them.

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:3:29" @Therefore I make a decree that any people, nation or tongue that speaks anything offensive against the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego shall be torn limb from limb and their houses reduced to a rubbish heap, inasmuch as there is no other god who is able to deliver in this way."

nasb@Daniel:3:30 @Then the king caused Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego to prosper in the province of Babylon.

nasb@Daniel:3:4 @Nebuchadnezzar the king to all the peoples, nations, and men of every language that live in all the earth- "May your peace abound!

nasb@Daniel:3:6" @So I gave orders to bring into my presence all the wise men of Babylon, that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream.

nasb@Daniel:3:8" @But finally Daniel came in before me, whose name is Belteshazzar according to the name of my god, and in whom is a spirit of the holy gods; and I related the dream to him, saying,

nasb@Daniel:3:9 @'O Belteshazzar, chief of the magicians, since I know that a spirit of the holy gods is in you and no mystery baffles you, tell me the visions of my dream which I have seen, along with its interpretation.

nasb@Daniel:3:10 @'Now these were the visions in my mind as I lay on my bed- I was looking, and behold, there was a tree in the midst of the earth and its height was great.

nasb@Daniel:3:11 @'The tree grew large and became strong And its height reached to the sky, And it was visible to the end of the whole earth.

nasb@Daniel:3:12 @'Its foliage was beautiful and its fruit abundant, And in it was food for all. The beasts of the field found shade under it, And the birds of the sky dwelt in its branches, And all living creatures fed themselves from it.

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:3:15" @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 in the grass of the earth.

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:3:21 @and whose foliage was beautiful and its fruit abundant, and in which was food for all, under which the beasts of the field dwelt and in whose branches the birds of the sky lodged--

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:3:24 @this is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the Most High, which has come upon my lord the king-

nasb@Daniel:3:25 @that you be driven away from mankind and your dwelling place be with the beasts of the field, and you be given grass to eat like cattle and be drenched with the dew of heaven; 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:3:26 @'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:3:29" @ Twelve months later he was walking on the roof of the royal palace of Babylon.

nasb@Daniel:3:30" @The king reflected and said, 'Is this not Babylon the great, which I myself have built as a royal residence by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty?'

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:3:34" @But at the end of that period, I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven and my reason returned to me, and I blessed the Most High and praised and honored Him who lives forever; For His dominion is an everlasting dominion, And His kingdom endures from generation to generation.

nasb@Daniel:3:35" @ All the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing, But He does according to His will in the host of heaven And among the inhabitants of earth; And no one can ward off His hand Or say to Him, ' What have You done?'

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:3:37" @Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise, exalt and honor the King of heaven, for all His works are true and His ways just, and He is able to humble those who walk in pride."

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:4:4 @They drank the wine and praised the gods of gold and silver, of bronze, iron, wood and stone.

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:4:7 @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:4:10 @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:4:11" @There is a man in your kingdom in whom is a spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of your father, illumination, insight and wisdom like the wisdom of the gods were found in him. And King Nebuchadnezzar, your father, your father the king, appointed him chief of the magicians, conjurers, Chaldeans and diviners.

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:4:19" @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:4:21" @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:4:23 @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:4:29 @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:4:31 @So Darius the Mede received the kingdom at about the age of sixty-two.

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:5:4 @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:5:5 @Then these men said, "We will not find any ground of accusation against this Daniel unless we find it against him with regard to the law of his God."

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:5:12 @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:5:19 @Then the king arose at dawn, at the break of day, and went in haste to the lions' den.

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:5:23 @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:5:25 @Then Darius the king wrote to all the peoples, nations and men of every language who were living in all the land- " May your peace abound!

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:5:27" @He delivers and rescues and performs signs and wonders In heaven and on earth, Who has also delivered Daniel from the power of the lions."

nasb@Daniel:5:28 @So this Daniel enjoyed success in the reign of Darius and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

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:6:4" @The first was like a lion and had the wings of an eagle. I kept looking until its wings were plucked, and it was lifted up from the ground and made to stand on two feet like a man; a human mind also was given to it.

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:6:8" @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:6:9" @I kept looking Until thrones were set up, And the Ancient of Days took His seat; His vesture was like white snow And the hair of His head like pure wool. His throne was ablaze with flames, Its wheels were a burning fire.

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:6:18 @'But the saints of the Highest One will receive the kingdom and possess the kingdom forever, for all ages to come.'

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:6:22 @until the Ancient of Days came and judgment was passed in favor of the saints of the Highest One, and the time arrived when the saints took possession of the kingdom.

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:6:27 @'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:7:5 @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:7:6 @He came up to the ram that had the two horns, which I had seen standing in front of the canal, and rushed at him in his mighty wrath.

nasb@Daniel:7:8 @Then the male goat magnified himself exceedingly. But as soon as he was mighty, the large horn was broken; and in its place there came up four conspicuous horns toward the four winds of heaven.

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:7:10 @It grew up to the host of heaven and caused some of the host and some of the stars to fall to the earth, and it trampled them down.

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:7:16 @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:7:17 @So he came near to where I was standing, and when he came I was frightened and fell on my face; but he said to me, "Son of man, understand that the vision pertains to the time of the end."

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:7:20" @The ram which you saw with the two horns represents the kings of Media and Persia.

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:7:23" @In the latter period of their rule, When the transgressors have run their course, A king will arise, Insolent and skilled in intrigue.

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:8:1 @In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of Median descent, who was made king over the kingdom of the Chaldeans--

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:8:6" @Moreover, we have not listened to Your servants the prophets, who spoke in Your name to our kings, our princes, our fathers and all the people of the land.

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:8:10 @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:8:13" @As it is written in the law of Moses, all this calamity has come on us; yet we have not sought the favor of the LORD our God by turning from our iniquity and giving attention to Your truth.

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:8:17" @So now, our God, listen to the prayer of Your servant and to his supplications, and for Your sake, O Lord, let Your face shine on Your desolate sanctuary.

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:8:20 @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:8:21 @while I was still speaking in prayer, then the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision previously, came to me in my extreme weariness about the time of the evening offering.

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:8:27" @And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate."

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:9:4 @On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, while I was by the bank of the great river, that is, the Tigris,

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:9:9 @But I heard the sound of his words; and as soon as I heard the sound of his words, I fell into a deep sleep on my face, with my face to the ground.

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:9:13" @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:9:14" @Now I have come to give you an understanding of what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision pertains to the days yet future."

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:9:7" @But one of the descendants of her line will arise in his place, and he will come against their army and enter the fortress of the king of the North, and he will deal with them and display great strength.

nasb@Daniel:9:8" @Also their gods with their metal images and their precious vessels of silver and gold he will take into captivity to Egypt, and he on his part will refrain from attacking the king of the North for some years.

nasb@Daniel:9:9" @Then the latter will enter the realm of the king of the South, but will return to his own land.

nasb@Daniel:9:10" @His sons will mobilize and assemble a multitude of great forces; and one of them will keep on coming and overflow and pass through, that he may again wage war up to his very fortress.

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:9:13" @For the king of the North will again raise a greater multitude than the former, and after an interval of some years he will press on with a great army and much equipment.

nasb@Daniel:9:14" @Now in those times many will rise up against the king of the South; the violent ones among your people will also lift themselves up in order to fulfill the vision, but they will fall down.

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:9:17" @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:9:23" @After an alliance is made with him he will practice deception, and he will go up and gain power with a small force of people.

nasb@Daniel:9:24" @In a time of tranquility he will enter the richest parts of the realm, and he will accomplish what his fathers never did, nor his ancestors; he will distribute plunder, booty and possessions among them, and he will devise his schemes against strongholds, but only for a time.

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:9:30" @For ships of Kittim will come against him; therefore he will be disheartened and will return and become enraged at the holy covenant and take action; so he will come back and show regard for those who forsake the holy covenant.

nasb@Daniel:9:31" @Forces from him will arise, desecrate the sanctuary fortress, and do away with the regular sacrifice. And they will set up the abomination of desolation.

nasb@Daniel:9:35" @Some of those who have insight will fall, in order to refine, purge and make them pure until the end time; because it is still to come at the appointed time.

nasb@Daniel:9:36" @Then the king will do as he pleases, and he will exalt and magnify himself above every god and will speak monstrous things against the God of gods; and he will prosper until the indignation is finished, for that which is decreed will be done.

nasb@Daniel:9:37" @He will show no regard for the gods of his fathers or for the desire of women, nor will he show regard for any other god; for he will magnify himself above them all.

nasb@Daniel:9:38" @But instead he will honor a god of fortresses, a god whom his fathers did not know; he will honor him with gold, silver, costly stones and treasures.

nasb@Daniel:9:39" @He will take action against the strongest of fortresses with the help of a foreign god; he will give great honor to those who acknowledge him and will cause them to rule over the many, and will parcel out land for a price.

nasb@Daniel:9:40" @At the end time the king of the South will collide with him, and the king of the North will storm against him with chariots, with horsemen and with many ships; and he will enter countries, overflow them and pass through.

nasb@Daniel:9:41" @He will also enter the Beautiful Land, and many countries will fall; but these will be rescued out of his hand- Edom, Moab and the foremost of the sons of Ammon.

nasb@Daniel:9:42" @Then he will stretch out his hand against other countries, and the land of Egypt will not escape.

nasb@Daniel:9:43" @But he will gain control over the hidden treasures of gold and silver and over all the precious things of Egypt; and Libyans and Ethiopians will follow at his heels.

nasb@Daniel:9:45" @He will pitch the tents of his royal pavilion between the seas and the beautiful Holy Mountain; yet he will come to his end, and no one will help him.

nasb@Daniel:9:12" @Now at that time Michael, the great prince who stands guard over the sons of your people, will arise. And there will be a time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time; and at that time your people, everyone who is found written in the book, will be rescued.

nasb@Daniel:9:2" @ Many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake, these to everlasting life, but the others to disgrace and everlasting contempt.

nasb@Daniel:9:3" @Those who have insight will shine brightly like the brightness of the expanse of heaven, and those who lead the many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.

nasb@Daniel:9:4" @But as for you, Daniel, conceal these words and seal up the book until the end of time; many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase."

nasb@Daniel:9:5 @Then I, Daniel, looked and behold, two others were standing, one on this bank of the river and the other on that bank of the river.

nasb@Daniel:9:6 @And one said to the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, " How long will it be until the end of these wonders?"

nasb@Daniel:9:7 @I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, as he raised his right hand and his left toward heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever that it would be for a time, times, and half a time; and as soon as they finish shattering the power of the holy people, all these events will be completed.

nasb@Daniel:9:8 @As for me, I heard but could not understand; so I said, "My lord, what will be the outcome of these events?"

nasb@Daniel:9:10" @ Many will be purged, purified and refined, but the wicked will act wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand, but those who have insight will understand.

nasb@Daniel:9:11" @From the time that the regular sacrifice is abolished and the abomination of desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days.

nasb@Daniel:9:13" @But as for you, go your way to the end; then you will enter into rest and rise again for your allotted portion at the end of the age."

nasb@Hosea:1:1 @The word of the LORD which came to Hosea the son of Beeri, during the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and during the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.
