rsv@Isaiah:1:10 @ Hear the word of the LORD, you rulers of Sodom! Give ear to the teaching of our God, you people of Gomor'rah!
rsv@Isaiah:1:12 @ "When you come to appear before me, who requires of you this trampling of my courts?
rsv@Isaiah:1:15 @ When you spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I will not listen; your hands are full of blood.
rsv@Isaiah:1:18 @ "Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.
rsv@Isaiah:1:23 @ Your princes are rebels and companions of thieves. Every one loves a bribe and runs after gifts. They do not defend the fatherless, and the widow's cause does not come to them.
rsv@Isaiah:1:29 @ For you shall be ashamed of the oaks in which you delighted; and you shall blush for the gardens which you have chosen.
rsv@Isaiah:1:31 @ And the strong shall become tow, and his work a spark, and both of them shall burn together, with none to quench them.
rsv@Isaiah:2:1 @ The word which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
rsv@Isaiah:2:2 @ It shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established as the highest of the mountains, and shall be raised above the hills; and all the nations shall flow to it,
rsv@Isaiah:2:3 @ and many peoples shall 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 his ways and that we may walk in his paths." For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
rsv@Isaiah:2:6 @ For thou hast rejected thy people, the house of Jacob, because they are full of diviners from the east and of soothsayers like the Philistines, and they strike hands with foreigners.
rsv@Isaiah:2:10 @ Enter into the rock, and hide in the dust from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty.
rsv@Isaiah:2:12 @ For the LORD of hosts has a day against all that is proud and lofty, against all that is lifted up and high;
rsv@Isaiah:2:14 @ against all the high mountains, and against all the lofty hills;
rsv@Isaiah:2:15 @ against every high tower, and against every fortified wall;
rsv@Isaiah:2:16 @ against all the ships of Tarshish, and against all the beautiful craft.
rsv@Isaiah:2:19 @ And men shall enter the caves of the rocks and the holes of the ground, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty, when he rises to terrify the earth.
rsv@Isaiah:2:20 @ In that day men will cast forth their idols of silver and their idols of gold, which they made for themselves to worship, to the moles and to the bats,
rsv@Isaiah:2:21 @ to enter the caverns of the rocks and the clefts of the cliffs, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty, when he rises to terrify the earth.
rsv@Isaiah:3:5 @ And the people will oppress one another, every man his fellow and every man his neighbor; the youth will be insolent to the elder, and the base fellow to the honorable.
rsv@Isaiah:3:6 @ When a man takes hold of his brother in the house of his father, saying: "You have a mantle; you shall be our leader, and this heap of ruins shall be under your rule";
rsv@Isaiah:3:8 @ For Jerusalem has stumbled, and Judah has fallen; because their speech and their deeds are against the LORD, defying his glorious presence.
rsv@Isaiah:3:9 @ Their partiality witnesses against them; they proclaim their sin like Sodom, they do not hide it. Woe to them! For they have brought evil upon themselves.
rsv@Isaiah:3:11 @ Woe to the wicked! It shall be ill with him, for what his hands have done shall be done to him.
rsv@Isaiah:3:12 @ My people-- children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, your leaders mislead you, and confuse the course of your paths.
rsv@Isaiah:3:13 @ The LORD has taken his place to contend, he stands to judge his people.
rsv@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 spoil of the poor is in your houses.
rsv@Isaiah:3:15 @ What do you mean by crushing my people, by grinding the face of the poor?" says the Lord GOD of hosts.
rsv@Isaiah:4:5 @ Then the LORD will create over the whole site of Mount Zion and over her assemblies a cloud by day, and smoke and the shining of a flaming fire by night; for over all the glory there will be a canopy and a pavilion.
rsv@Isaiah:5:1 @ Let me sing for my beloved a love song concerning his vineyard: My beloved had a vineyard on a very fertile hill.
rsv@Isaiah:5:7 @ For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah are his pleasant planting; and he looked for justice, but behold, bloodshed; for righteousness, but behold, a cry!
rsv@Isaiah:5:12 @ They have lyre and harp, timbrel and flute and wine at their feasts; but they do not regard the deeds of the LORD, or see the work of his hands.
rsv@Isaiah:5:13 @ Therefore my people go into exile for want of knowledge; their honored men are dying of hunger, and their multitude is parched with thirst.
rsv@Isaiah:5:16 @ But the LORD of hosts is exalted in justice, and the Holy God shows himself holy in righteousness.
rsv@Isaiah:5:19 @ who say: "Let him make haste, let him speed his work that we may see it; let the purpose of the Holy One of Israel draw near, and let it come, that we may know it!"
rsv@Isaiah:5:23 @ who acquit the guilty for a bribe, and deprive the innocent of his right!
rsv@Isaiah:5:25 @ Therefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against his people, and he stretched out his hand against them and smote them, and the mountains quaked; and their corpses were as refuse in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away and his hand is stretched out still.
rsv@Isaiah:5:26 @ He will raise a signal for a nation afar off, and whistle for it from the ends of the earth; and lo, swiftly, speedily it comes!
rsv@Isaiah:5:28 @ their arrows are sharp, all their bows bent, their horses' hoofs seem like flint, and their wheels like the whirlwind.
rsv@Isaiah:6:1 @ In the year that King Uzzi'ah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple.
rsv@Isaiah:6:2 @ Above him stood the seraphim; each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.
rsv@Isaiah:6:3 @ And one called to another and said: "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory."
rsv@Isaiah:6:4 @ And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke.
rsv@Isaiah:6:6 @ Then flew one of the seraphim to me, having in his hand a burning coal which he had taken with tongs from the altar.
rsv@Isaiah:6:7 @ And he touched my mouth, and said: "Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin forgiven."
rsv@Isaiah:6:9 @ And he said, "Go, and say to this people: `Hear and hear, but do not understand; see and see, but do not perceive.'
rsv@Isaiah:6:10 @ Make the heart of this people fat, and their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed."
rsv@Isaiah:7:2 @ When the house of David was told, "Syria is in league with E'phraim," his heart and the heart of his people shook as the trees of the forest shake before the wind.
rsv@Isaiah:7:3 @ And the LORD said to Isaiah, "Go forth to meet Ahaz, you and She'ar-jash'ub your son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool on the highway to the Fuller's Field,
rsv@Isaiah:7:4 @ and say to him, `Take heed, be quiet, do not fear, and do not let your heart be faint because of these two smoldering stumps of firebrands, at the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria and the son of Remali'ah.
rsv@Isaiah:7:8 @ For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin. (Within sixty-five years E'phraim will be broken to pieces so that it will no longer be a people.)
rsv@Isaiah:7:11 @ "Ask a sign of the LORD your God; let it be deep as Sheol or high as heaven."
rsv@Isaiah:7:14 @ Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, a young woman shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Imman'u-el.
rsv@Isaiah:7:16 @ For before the child knows how to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land before whose two kings you are in dread will be deserted.
rsv@Isaiah:7:18 @ In that day the LORD will whistle for the fly which is at the sources of the streams of Egypt, and for the bee which is in the land of Assyria.
rsv@Isaiah:7:20 @ In that day the Lord will shave with a razor which is hired beyond the River-- with the king of Assyria-- the head and the hair of the feet, and it will sweep away the beard also.
rsv@Isaiah:7:22 @ and because of the abundance of milk which they give, he will eat curds; for every one that is left in the land will eat curds and honey.
rsv@Isaiah:7:25 @ and as for all the hills which used to be hoed with a hoe, you will not come there for fear of briers and thorns; but they will become a place where cattle are let loose and where sheep tread.
rsv@Isaiah:8:2 @ And I got reliable witnesses, Uri'ah the priest and Zechari'ah the son of Jeberechi'ah, to attest for me.
rsv@Isaiah:8:3 @ And I went to the prophetess, and she conceived and bore a son. Then the LORD said to me, "Call his name Ma'her-shal'al-hash-baz;
rsv@Isaiah:8:4 @ for before the child knows how to cry `My father' or `My mother,' the wealth of Damascus and the spoil of Sama'ria will be carried away before the king of Assyria."
rsv@Isaiah:8:6 @ "Because this people have refused the waters of Shilo'ah that flow gently, and melt in fear before Rezin and the son of Remali'ah;
rsv@Isaiah:8:7 @ therefore, behold, the Lord is bringing up against them the waters of the River, mighty and many, the king of Assyria and all his glory; and it will rise over all its channels and go over all its banks;
rsv@Isaiah:8:8 @ and it will sweep on into Judah, it will overflow and pass on, reaching even to the neck; and its outspread wings will fill the breadth of your land, O Imman'u-el."
rsv@Isaiah:8:11 @ For the LORD spoke thus to me with his strong hand upon me, and warned me not to walk in the way of this people, saying:
rsv@Isaiah:8:12 @ "Do not call conspiracy all that this people call conspiracy, and do not fear what they fear, nor be in dread.
rsv@Isaiah:8:13 @ But the LORD of hosts, him you shall regard as holy; let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
rsv@Isaiah:8:16 @ Bind up the testimony, seal the teaching among my disciples.
rsv@Isaiah:8:17 @ I will wait for the LORD, who is hiding his face from the house of Jacob, and I will hope in him.
rsv@Isaiah:8:18 @ Behold, I and the children whom the LORD has given me are signs and portents in Israel from the LORD of hosts, who dwells on Mount Zion.
rsv@Isaiah:8:19 @ And when they say to you, "Consult the mediums and the wizards who chirp and mutter," should not a people consult their God? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living?
rsv@Isaiah:8:20 @ To the teaching and to the testimony! Surely for this word which they speak there is no dawn.
rsv@Isaiah:8:22 @ and they will look to the earth, but behold, distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish; and they will be thrust into thick darkness.
rsv@Isaiah:9:2 @ The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shined.
rsv@Isaiah:9:4 @ For the yoke of his burden, and the staff for his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, thou hast broken as on the day of Mid'ian.
rsv@Isaiah:9:6 @ For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government will be upon his shoulder, and his name will be called "Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."
rsv@Isaiah:9:7 @ Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David, and over his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and for evermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this.
rsv@Isaiah:9:12 @ The Syrians on the east and the Philistines on the west devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away and his hand is stretched out still.
rsv@Isaiah:9:13 @ The people did not turn to him who smote them, nor seek the LORD of hosts.
rsv@Isaiah:9:16 @ for those who lead this people lead them astray, and those who are led by them are swallowed up.
rsv@Isaiah:9:17 @ Therefore the Lord does not rejoice over their young men, and has no compassion on their fatherless and widows; for every one is godless and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks folly. For all this his anger is not turned away and his hand is stretched out still.
rsv@Isaiah:9:18 @ For wickedness burns like a fire, it consumes briers and thorns; it kindles the thickets of the forest, and they roll upward in a column of smoke.
rsv@Isaiah:9:19 @ Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts the land is burned, and the people are like fuel for the fire; no man spares his brother.
rsv@Isaiah:9:20 @ They snatch on the right, but are still hungry, and they devour on the left, but are not satisfied; each devours his neighbor's flesh,
rsv@Isaiah:9:21 @ Manas'seh E'phraim, and E'phraim Manas'seh, and together they are against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away and his hand is stretched out still.
rsv@Isaiah:10:3 @ What will you do on the day of punishment, in the storm which will come from afar? To whom will you flee for help, and where will you leave your wealth?
rsv@Isaiah:10:4 @ Nothing remains but to crouch among the prisoners or fall among the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away and his hand is stretched out still.
rsv@Isaiah:10:6 @ Against a godless nation I send him, and against the people of my wrath I command him, to take spoil and seize plunder, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
rsv@Isaiah:10:7 @ But he does not so intend, and his mind does not so think; but it is in his mind to destroy, and to cut off nations not a few;
rsv@Isaiah:10:12 @ When the Lord has finished all his work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem he will punish the arrogant boasting of the king of Assyria and his haughty pride.
rsv@Isaiah:10:14 @ My hand has found like a nest the wealth of the peoples; and as men gather eggs that have been forsaken so I have gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved a wing, or opened the mouth, or chirped."
rsv@Isaiah:10:15 @ Shall the axe vaunt itself over him who hews with it, or the saw magnify itself against him who wields it? As if a rod should wield him who lifts it, or as if a staff should lift him who is not wood!
rsv@Isaiah:10:16 @ Therefore the Lord, the LORD of hosts, will send wasting sickness among his stout warriors, and under his glory a burning will be kindled, like the burning of fire.
rsv@Isaiah:10:17 @ The light of Israel will become a fire, and his Holy One a flame; and it will burn and devour his thorns and briers in one day.
rsv@Isaiah:10:18 @ The glory of his forest and of his fruitful land the LORD will destroy, both soul and body, and it will be as when a sick man wastes away.
rsv@Isaiah:10:19 @ The remnant of the trees of his forest will be so few that a child can write them down.
rsv@Isaiah:10:20 @ In that day the remnant of Israel and the survivors of the house of Jacob will no more lean upon him that smote them, but will lean upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
rsv@Isaiah:10:25 @ For in a very little while my indignation will come to an end, and my anger will be directed to their destruction.
rsv@Isaiah:10:26 @ And the LORD of hosts will wield against them a scourge, as when he smote Mid'ian at the rock of Oreb; and his rod will be over the sea, and he will lift it as he did in Egypt.
rsv@Isaiah:10:27 @ And in that day his burden will depart from your shoulder, and his yoke will be destroyed from your neck." He has gone up from Rimmon,
rsv@Isaiah:10:28 @ he has come to Ai'ath; he has passed through Migron, at Michmash he stores his baggage;
rsv@Isaiah:10:32 @ This very day he will halt at Nob, he will shake his fist at the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.

rsv@Isaiah:11:3 @ And his delight shall be in the fear of the LORD. He shall not judge by what his eyes see, or decide by what his ears hear;
