rsv@Isaiah:1:7 @ Your country lies desolate, your cities are burned with fire; in your very presence aliens devour your land; it is desolate, as overthrown by aliens.
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:1:11 @ "What to me is the multitude of your sacrifices? says the LORD; I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fed beasts; I do not delight in the blood of bulls, or of lambs, or of he-goats.
rsv@Isaiah:1:12 @ "When you come to appear before me, who requires of you this trampling of my courts?
rsv@Isaiah:1:14 @ Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hates; they have become a burden to me, I am weary of bearing them.

rsv@Isaiah:1:16 @ Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your doings from before my eyes; cease to do evil,
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:1:19 @ If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land;
rsv@Isaiah:1:20 @ But if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword; for the mouth of the LORD has spoken."
rsv@Isaiah:1:22 @ Your silver has become dross, your wine mixed with water.
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:1:25 @ I will turn my hand against you and will smelt away your dross as with lye and remove all your alloy.
rsv@Isaiah:1:26 @ And I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counselors as at the beginning. Afterward you shall be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city."
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:1:30 @ For you shall be like an oak whose leaf withers, and like a garden without water.
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:3:7 @ in that day he will speak out, saying: "I will not be a healer; in my house there is neither bread nor mantle; you shall not make me leader of the people."
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:3:14 @ 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:3:25 @ Your men shall fall by the sword and your mighty men in battle.
rsv@Isaiah:4:1 @ And seven women shall 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."
rsv@Isaiah:5:3 @ And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, between me and my vineyard.
rsv@Isaiah:5:5 @ And now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard. I will remove its hedge, and it shall be devoured; I will break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down.
rsv@Isaiah:5:8 @ Woe to those who join house to house, who add field to field, until there is no more room, and you are made to dwell alone in the midst of the land.
rsv@Isaiah:5:29 @ Their roaring is like a lion, like young lions they roar; they growl and seize their prey, they carry it off, and none can rescue.
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: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:7:5 @ Because Syria, with E'phraim and the son of Remali'ah, has devised evil against you, saying,
rsv@Isaiah:7:9 @ And the head of E'phraim is Sama'ria, and the head of Sama'ria is the son of Remali'ah. If you will not believe, surely you shall not be established.'"
rsv@Isaiah:7:11 @ "Ask a sign of the LORD your God; let it be deep as Sheol or high as heaven."
rsv@Isaiah:7:13 @ And he said, "Hear then, O house of David! Is it too little for you to weary men, that you weary my God also?
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:7:17 @ The LORD will bring upon you and upon your people and upon your father's house such days as have not come since the day that E'phraim departed from Judah-- the king of Assyria."
rsv@Isaiah:7:21 @ In that day a man will keep alive a young cow and two sheep;
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:8:8 @ 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:8:9 @ Be broken, you peoples, and be dismayed; give ear, all you far countries; gird yourselves and be dismayed; gird yourselves and be dismayed.
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:8:19 @ 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: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: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:10:22 @ For though your people Israel be as the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them will return. Destruction is decreed, overflowing with righteousness.
rsv@Isaiah:10:24 @ Therefore thus says the Lord, the LORD of hosts: "O my people, who dwell in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrians when they smite with the rod and lift up their staff against you as the Egyptians did.
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:11:7 @ The cow and the bear shall feed; their young shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
rsv@Isaiah:12:1 @ You will say in that day: "I will give thanks to thee, O LORD, for though thou wast angry with me, thy anger turned away, and thou didst comfort me.
rsv@Isaiah:12:3 @ With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.
rsv@Isaiah:12:4 @ And you will say in that day: "Give thanks to the LORD, call upon his name; make known his deeds among the nations, proclaim that his name is exalted.
rsv@Isaiah:12:6 @ Shout, and sing for joy, O inhabitant of Zion, for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel."
rsv@Isaiah:13:18 @ Their bows will slaughter the young men; they will have no mercy on the fruit of the womb; their eyes will not pity children.
rsv@Isaiah:14:3 @ When the LORD has given you rest from your pain and turmoil and the hard service with which you were made to serve,
rsv@Isaiah:14:4 @ you will take up this taunt against the king of Babylon: "How the oppressor has ceased, the insolent fury ceased!
rsv@Isaiah:14:8 @ The cypresses rejoice at you, the cedars of Lebanon, saying, `Since you were laid low, no hewer comes up against us.'
rsv@Isaiah:14:9 @ Sheol beneath is stirred up to meet you when you come, it rouses the shades to greet you, all who were leaders of the earth; it raises from their thrones all who were kings of the nations.
rsv@Isaiah:14:10 @ All of them will speak and say to you: `You too have become as weak as we! You have become like us!'
rsv@Isaiah:14:11 @ Your pomp is brought down to Sheol, the sound of your harps; maggots are the bed beneath you, and worms are your covering.
rsv@Isaiah:14:12 @ "How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low!
rsv@Isaiah:14:13 @ You said in your heart, `I will ascend to heaven; above the stars of God I will set my throne on high; I will sit on the mount of assembly in the far north;
rsv@Isaiah:14:15 @ But you are brought down to Sheol, to the depths of the Pit.
rsv@Isaiah:14:16 @ Those who see you will stare at you, and ponder over you: `Is this the man who made the earth tremble, who shook kingdoms,
rsv@Isaiah:14:19 @ but you are cast out, away from your sepulchre, like a loathed untimely birth, clothed with the slain, those pierced by the sword, who go down to the stones of the Pit, like a dead body trodden under foot.
rsv@Isaiah:14:20 @ You will not be joined with them in burial, because you have destroyed your land, you have slain your people. "May the descendants of evildoers nevermore be named!
rsv@Isaiah:14:29 @ "Rejoice not, O Philistia, all of you, that the rod which smote you is broken, for from the serpent's root will come forth an adder, and its fruit will be a flying serpent.
rsv@Isaiah:14:30 @ And the first-born of the poor will feed, and the needy lie down in safety; but I will kill your root with famine, and your remnant I will slay.
rsv@Isaiah:14:31 @ Wail, O gate; cry, O city; melt in fear, O Philistia, all of you! For smoke comes out of the north, and there is no straggler in his ranks."
rsv@Isaiah:16:3 @ "Give counsel, grant justice; make your shade like night at the height of noon; hide the outcasts, betray not the fugitive;
rsv@Isaiah:16:4 @ let the outcasts of Moab sojourn among you; be a refuge to them from the destroyer. When the oppressor is no more, and destruction has ceased, and he who tramples under foot has vanished from the land,
rsv@Isaiah:16:9 @ Therefore I weep with the weeping of Jazer for the vine of Sibmah; I drench you with my tears, O Heshbon and Ele-a'leh; for upon your fruit and your harvest the battle shout has fallen.
rsv@Isaiah:17:10 @ For you have forgotten the God of your salvation, and have not remembered the Rock of your refuge; therefore, though you plant pleasant plants and set out slips of an alien god,
rsv@Isaiah:17:11 @ though you make them grow on the day that you plant them, and make them blossom in the morning that you sow; yet the harvest will flee away in a day of grief and incurable pain.
rsv@Isaiah:18:2 @ which sends ambassadors by the Nile, in vessels of papyrus upon the waters! Go, you swift messengers, to a nation, tall and smooth, to a people feared near and far, a nation mighty and conquering, whose land the rivers divide.
rsv@Isaiah:18:3 @ All you inhabitants of the world, you who dwell on the earth, when a signal is raised on the mountains, look! When a trumpet is blown, hear!
rsv@Isaiah:19:11 @ The princes of Zo'an are utterly foolish; the wise counselors of Pharaoh give stupid counsel. How can you say to Pharaoh, "I am a son of the wise, a son of ancient kings"?
rsv@Isaiah:19:12 @ Where then are your wise men? Let them tell you and make known what the LORD of hosts has purposed against Egypt.
rsv@Isaiah:20:2 @ at that time the LORD had spoken by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, "Go, and loose the sackcloth from your loins and take off your shoes from your feet," and he had done so, walking naked and barefoot--
rsv@Isaiah:20:4 @ so shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians captives and the Ethiopians exiles, both the young and the old, naked and barefoot, with buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.
rsv@Isaiah:21:10 @ O my threshed and winnowed one, what I have heard from the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, I announce to you.
rsv@Isaiah:21:12 @ The watchman says: "Morning comes, and also the night. If you will inquire, inquire; come back again."
rsv@Isaiah:21:13 @ The oracle concerning Arabia. In the thickets in Arabia you will lodge, O caravans of De'danites.
rsv@Isaiah:22:1 @ The oracle concerning the valley of vision. What do you mean that you have gone up, all of you, to the housetops,
rsv@Isaiah:22:2 @ you who are full of shoutings, tumultuous city, exultant town? Your slain are not slain with the sword or dead in battle.
rsv@Isaiah:22:3 @ All your rulers have fled together, without the bow they were captured. All of you who were found were captured, though they had fled far away.
rsv@Isaiah:22:7 @ Your choicest valleys were full of chariots, and the horsemen took their stand at the gates.
rsv@Isaiah:22:8 @ He has taken away the covering of Judah. In that day you looked to the weapons of the House of the Forest,
rsv@Isaiah:22:9 @ and you saw that the breaches of the city of David were many, and you collected the waters of the lower pool,
rsv@Isaiah:22:10 @ and you counted the houses of Jerusalem, and you broke down the houses to fortify the wall.
rsv@Isaiah:22:11 @ You made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool. But you did not look to him who did it, or have regard for him who planned it long ago.
rsv@Isaiah:22:14 @ The LORD of hosts has revealed himself in my ears: "Surely this iniquity will not be forgiven you till you die," says the Lord GOD of hosts.
rsv@Isaiah:22:16 @ What have you to do here and whom have you here, that you have hewn here a tomb for yourself, you who hew a tomb on the height, and carve a habitation for yourself in the rock?
rsv@Isaiah:22:17 @ Behold, the LORD will hurl you away violently, O you strong man. He will seize firm hold on you,
rsv@Isaiah:22:18 @ and whirl you round and round, and throw you like a ball into a wide land; there you shall die, and there shall be your splendid chariots, you shame of your master's house.
rsv@Isaiah:22:19 @ I will thrust you from your office, and you will be cast down from your station.
rsv@Isaiah:22:21 @ and I will clothe him with your robe, and will bind your girdle on him, and will commit your authority to his hand; and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.
rsv@Isaiah:23:2 @ Be still, O inhabitants of the coast, O merchants of Sidon; your messengers passed over the sea
rsv@Isaiah:23:3 @ and were on many waters; your revenue was the grain of Shihor, the harvest of the Nile; you were the merchant of the nations.
rsv@Isaiah:23:4 @ Be ashamed, O Sidon, for the sea has spoken, the stronghold of the sea, saying: "I have neither travailed nor given birth, I have neither reared young men nor brought up virgins."
rsv@Isaiah:23:7 @ Is this your exultant city whose origin is from days of old, whose feet carried her to settle afar?
rsv@Isaiah:23:10 @ Overflow your land like the Nile, O daughter of Tarshish; there is no restraint any more.
rsv@Isaiah:23:12 @ And he said: "You will no more exult, O oppressed virgin daughter of Sidon; arise, pass over to Cyprus, even there you will have no rest."
rsv@Isaiah:23:14 @ Wail, O ships of Tarshish, for your stronghold is laid waste.
rsv@Isaiah:23:16 @ "Take a harp, go about the city, O forgotten harlot! Make sweet melody, sing many songs, that you may be remembered."
rsv@Isaiah:24:17 @ Terror, and the pit, and the snare are upon you, O inhabitant of the earth!
rsv@Isaiah:26:20 @ Come, my people, enter your chambers, and shut your doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until the wrath is past.
rsv@Isaiah:27:12 @ In that day from the river Euphra'tes to the Brook of Egypt the LORD will thresh out the grain, and you will be gathered one by one, O people of Israel.
rsv@Isaiah:28:14 @ Therefore hear the word of the LORD, you scoffers, who rule this people in Jerusalem!
rsv@Isaiah:28:15 @ Because you have said, "We have made a covenant with death, and with Sheol we have an agreement; when the overwhelming scourge passes through it will not come to us; for we have made lies our refuge, and in falsehood we have taken shelter";
rsv@Isaiah:28:18 @ Then your covenant with death will be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol will not stand; when the overwhelming scourge passes through you will be beaten down by it.
rsv@Isaiah:28:19 @ As often as it passes through it will take you; for morning by morning it will pass through, by day and by night; and it will be sheer terror to understand the message.
rsv@Isaiah:28:22 @ Now therefore do not scoff, lest your bonds be made strong; for I have heard a decree of destruction from the Lord GOD of hosts upon the whole land.
rsv@Isaiah:29:3 @ And I will encamp against you round about, and will besiege you with towers and I will raise siegeworks against you.
rsv@Isaiah:29:4 @ Then deep from the earth you shall speak, from low in the dust your words shall come; your voice shall come from the ground like the voice of a ghost, and your speech shall whisper out of the dust.
rsv@Isaiah:29:5 @ But the multitude of your foes shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the ruthless like passing chaff. And in an instant, suddenly,
rsv@Isaiah:29:6 @ you will be visited by the LORD of hosts with thunder and with earthquake and great noise, with whirlwind and tempest, and the flame of a devouring fire.
rsv@Isaiah:29:9 @ Stupefy yourselves and be in a stupor, blind yourselves and be blind! Be drunk, but not with wine; stagger, but not with strong drink!
rsv@Isaiah:29:10 @ For the LORD has poured out upon you a spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes, the prophets, and covered your heads, the seers.
rsv@Isaiah:29:11 @ And the vision of all this has become to you like the words of a book that is sealed. When men give it to one who can read, saying, "Read this," he says, "I cannot, for it is sealed."
rsv@Isaiah:29:16 @ You turn things upside down! Shall the potter be regarded as the clay; that the thing made should say of its maker, "He did not make me"; or the thing formed say of him who formed it, "He has no understanding"?
rsv@Isaiah:30:3 @ Therefore shall the protection of Pharaoh turn to your shame, and the shelter in the shadow of Egypt to your humiliation.
rsv@Isaiah:30:12 @ Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel, "Because you despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and rely on them;
rsv@Isaiah:30:13 @ therefore this iniquity shall be to you like a break in a high wall, bulging out, and about to collapse, whose crash comes suddenly, in an instant;
rsv@Isaiah:30:15 @ For thus said the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel, "In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength." And you would not,
rsv@Isaiah:30:16 @ but you said, "No! We will speed upon horses," therefore you shall speed away; and, "We will ride upon swift steeds," therefore your pursuers shall be swift.
rsv@Isaiah:30:17 @ A thousand shall flee at the threat of one, at the threat of five you shall flee, till you are left like a flagstaff on the top of a mountain, like a signal on a hill.
rsv@Isaiah:30:18 @ Therefore the LORD waits to be gracious to you; therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you. For the LORD is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him.
rsv@Isaiah:30:19 @ Yea, O people in Zion who dwell at Jerusalem; you shall weep no more. He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry; when he hears it, he will answer you.
rsv@Isaiah:30:20 @ And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your Teacher will not hide himself any more, but your eyes shall see your Teacher.
rsv@Isaiah:30:21 @ And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, "This is the way, walk in it," when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left.
rsv@Isaiah:30:22 @ Then you will defile your silver-covered graven images and your gold-plated molten images. You will scatter them as unclean things; you will say to them, "Begone!"
rsv@Isaiah:30:23 @ And he will give rain for the seed with which you sow the ground, and grain, the produce of the ground, which will be rich and plenteous. In that day your cattle will graze in large pastures;
rsv@Isaiah:30:29 @ You shall have a song as in the night when a holy feast is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one sets out to the sound of the flute to go to the mountain of the LORD, to the Rock of Israel.
rsv@Isaiah:31:4 @ For thus the LORD said to me, As a lion or a young lion growls over his prey, and when a band of shepherds is called forth against him is not terrified by their shouting or daunted at their noise, so the LORD of hosts will come down to fight upon Mount Zion and upon its hill.
rsv@Isaiah:31:6 @ Turn to him from whom you have deeply revolted, O people of Israel.
rsv@Isaiah:31:7 @ For in that day every one shall cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold, which your hands have sinfully made for you.
rsv@Isaiah:31:8 @ "And the Assyrian shall fall by a sword, not of man; and a sword, not of man, shall devour him; and he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be put to forced labor.
rsv@Isaiah:32:9 @ Rise up, you women who are at ease, hear my voice; you complacent daughters, give ear to my speech.
rsv@Isaiah:32:10 @ In little more than a year you will shudder, you complacent women; for the vintage will fail, the fruit harvest will not come.
rsv@Isaiah:32:11 @ Tremble, you women who are at ease, shudder, you complacent ones; strip, and make yourselves bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins.
rsv@Isaiah:32:12 @ Beat upon your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine,
rsv@Isaiah:32:13 @ for the soil of my people growing up in thorns and briers; yea, for all the joyous houses in the joyful city.
rsv@Isaiah:32:20 @ Happy are you who sow beside all waters, who let the feet of the ox and the ass range free.
rsv@Isaiah:33:1 @ Woe to you, destroyer, who yourself have not been destroyed; you treacherous one, with whom none has dealt treacherously! When you have ceased to destroy, you will be destroyed; and when you have made an end of dealing treacherously, you will be dealt with treacherously.
rsv@Isaiah:33:6 @ and he will be the stability of your times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge; the fear of the LORD is his treasure.
rsv@Isaiah:33:11 @ You conceive chaff, you bring forth stubble; your breath is a fire that will consume you.
rsv@Isaiah:33:13 @ Hear, you who are far off, what I have done; and you who are near, acknowledge my might.
rsv@Isaiah:33:17 @ Your eyes will see the king in his beauty; they will behold a land that stretches afar.
rsv@Isaiah:33:18 @ Your mind will muse on the terror: "Where is he who counted, where is he who weighed the tribute? Where is he who counted the towers?"
rsv@Isaiah:33:19 @ You will see no more the insolent people, the people of an obscure speech which you cannot comprehend, stammering in a tongue which you cannot understand.
rsv@Isaiah:33:20 @ Look upon Zion, the city of our appointed feasts! Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a quiet habitation, an immovable tent, whose stakes will never be plucked up, nor will any of its cords be broken.
rsv@Isaiah:33:23 @ Your tackle hangs loose; it cannot hold the mast firm in its place, or keep the sail spread out. Then prey and spoil in abundance will be divided; even the lame will take the prey.
rsv@Isaiah:34:7 @ Wild oxen shall fall with them, and young steers with the mighty bulls. Their land shall be soaked with blood, and their soil made rich with fat.
rsv@Isaiah:34:15 @ There shall the owl nest and lay and hatch and gather her young in her shadow; yea, there shall the kites be gathered, each one with her mate.
rsv@Isaiah:35:4 @ Say to those who are of a fearful heart, "Be strong, fear not! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God. He will come and save you."
rsv@Isaiah:36:4 @ And the Rab'shakeh said to them, "Say to Hezeki'ah, `Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria: On what do you rest this confidence of yours?
rsv@Isaiah:36:5 @ Do you think that mere words are strategy and power for war? On whom do you now rely, that you have rebelled against me?
rsv@Isaiah:36:6 @ Behold, you are relying on Egypt, that broken reed of a staff, which will pierce the hand of any man who leans on it. Such is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who rely on him.
rsv@Isaiah:36:7 @ But if you say to me, "We rely on the LORD our God," is it not he whose high places and altars Hezeki'ah has removed, saying to Judah and to Jerusalem, "You shall worship before this altar"?
rsv@Isaiah:36:8 @ Come now, make a wager with my master the king of Assyria: I will give you two thousand horses, if you are able on your part to set riders upon them.
rsv@Isaiah:36:9 @ How then can you repulse a single captain among the least of my master's servants, when you rely on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
rsv@Isaiah:36:11 @ Then Eli'akim, Shebna, and Jo'ah said to the Rab'shakeh, "Pray, speak to your servants in Aramaic, for we understand it; do not speak to us in the language of Judah within the hearing of the people who are on the wall."
rsv@Isaiah:36:12 @ But the Rab'shakeh said, "Has my master sent me to speak these words to your master and to you, and not to the men sitting on the wall, who are doomed with you to eat their own dung and drink their own urine?"
rsv@Isaiah:36:14 @ Thus says the king: `Do not let Hezeki'ah deceive you, for he will not be able to deliver you.
rsv@Isaiah:36:15 @ Do not let Hezeki'ah make you rely on the LORD by saying, "The LORD will surely deliver us; this city will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria."
rsv@Isaiah:36:16 @ Do not listen to Hezeki'ah; for thus says the king of Assyria: Make your peace with me and come out to me; then every one of you will eat of his own vine, and every one of his own fig tree, and every one of you will drink the water of his own cistern;
rsv@Isaiah:36:17 @ until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and wine, a land of bread and vineyards.
rsv@Isaiah:36:18 @ Beware lest Hezeki'ah mislead you by saying, "The LORD will deliver us." Has any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
rsv@Isaiah:37:4 @ It may be that the LORD your God heard the words of the Rab'shakeh, whom his master the king of Assyria has sent to mock the living God, and will rebuke the words which the LORD your God has heard; therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left.'"
rsv@Isaiah:37:6 @ Isaiah said to them, "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 reviled me.

rsv@Isaiah:37:10 @ "Thus shall you speak to Hezeki'ah king of Judah: `Do not let your God on whom you rely deceive you by promising that Jerusalem will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
rsv@Isaiah:37:11 @ Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, destroying them utterly. And shall you be delivered?
