Isaiah:1:3 @Even the ox has knowledge of its owner, and the ass of the place where its master puts its food: but Israel has no knowledge, my people give no thought to me.
bbe@Isaiah:1:4 @O nation full of sin, a people weighted down with crime, a generation of evil-doers, false-hearted children: they have gone away from the Lord, they have no respect for the Holy One of Israel, their hearts are turned back from him.
bbe@Isaiah:1:6 @The body, from head to foot, is all diseased; it is a mass of open wounds, marks of blows, and broken flesh: the flow of blood has not been stopped, and no oil has been put on the wounds.
bbe@Isaiah:1:7 @Your country has become waste; your towns are burned with fire; as for your land, it is overturned before your eyes, made waste and overcome by men from strange lands.
bbe@Isaiah:1:8 @And the daughter of Zion has become like a tent in a vine-garden, like a watchman's house in a field of fruit, like a town shut in by armies.
bbe@Isaiah:1:12 @At whose request do you come before me, making my house unclean with your feet?
bbe@Isaiah:1:14 @Your new moons and your regular feasts are a grief to my soul: they are a weight in my spirit; I am crushed under them.
bbe@Isaiah:1:18 @Come now, and let us have an argument together, says the Lord: how may your sins which are red like blood be white as snow? how may their dark purple seem like wool?
bbe@Isaiah:1:19 @If you will give ear to my word and do it, the good things of the land will be yours;
bbe@Isaiah:1:22 @Your silver is no longer true metal, your wine is mixed with water.
bbe@Isaiah:1:23 @Your chiefs have gone against the Lord, they have become friends of thieves; every one of them is looking for profit and going after rewards; they do not give right decisions for the child who has no father, and they do not let the cause of the widow come before them.
bbe@Isaiah:1:25 @And my hand will again be on you, washing away what is unclean as with soap, and taking away all your false metal;
bbe@Isaiah:1:30 @For you will be like a tree whose leaves have become dry, and like a garden without water.
bbe@Isaiah:1:31 @And the strong will be as food for the fire, and his work as a flame; and they will be burned together, with no one to put out the fire.
bbe@Isaiah:2:2 @And it will come about in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord will be placed on the top of the mountains, and be lifted up over the hills; and all nations will come to it.
bbe@Isaiah:2:6 @For you, O Lord, have given up your people, the family of Jacob, because they are full of the evil ways of the east, and make use of secret arts like the Philistines, and are friends with the children of strange countries.
bbe@Isaiah:2:10 @Go into a hole in the rock, covering yourselves with dust, in fear of the Lord, before the glory of his power.
bbe@Isaiah:2:19 @And men will go into cracks of the rocks, and into holes of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and before the glory of his power, when he comes out of his place, shaking the earth with his strength.
bbe@Isaiah:2:21 @To take cover in the cracks of the rocks, and in the holes of the hills, for fear of the Lord, and before the glory of his power, when he comes out of his place, shaking the earth with his strength.
bbe@Isaiah:2:22 @Have no more to do with man, whose life is only a breath, for he is of no value.
bbe@Isaiah:3:3 @The captain of fifty, and the man of high position, and the wise guide, and the wonder-worker, and he who makes use of secret powers.
bbe@Isaiah:3:5 @And the people will be crushed, every one by his neighbour; the young will be full of pride against the old, and those of low position will be lifted up against the noble.
bbe@Isaiah:3:6 @When one man puts his hand on another in his father's house, and says, You have clothing, be our ruler and be responsible for us in our sad condition:
bbe@Isaiah:3:7 @Then he will say with an oath, I will not be a helper, for in my house there is no bread or clothing: I will not let you make me a ruler of the people.
bbe@Isaiah:3:9 @Their respect for a man's position is a witness against them; and their sin is open to the view of all; like that of Sodom, it is not covered. A curse on their soul! for the measure of their sin is full.
bbe@Isaiah:3:10 @Happy is the upright man! for he will have joy of the fruit of his ways
bbe@Isaiah:3:12 @As for my people, their ruler is acting like a child, and those who have authority over them are women. O my people, your guides are the cause of your wandering, turning your footsteps out of the right way.
bbe@Isaiah:3:14 @The Lord comes to be the judge of their responsible men and of their rulers: it is you who have made waste the vine-garden, and in your houses is the property of the poor which you have taken by force.
bbe@Isaiah:3:15 @By what right are you crushing my people, and putting a bitter yoke on the necks of the poor? This is the word of the Lord, the Lord of armies.
bbe@Isaiah:3:16 @Again, the Lord has said, Because the daughters of Zion are full of pride, and go with outstretched necks and wandering eyes, with their foot-chains sounding when they go:
bbe@Isaiah:3:20 @The head-bands, and the arm-chains, and the worked bands, and the perfume-boxes, and the jewels with secret powers,
bbe@Isaiah:4:2 @In that day will the young growth of the Lord be beautiful in glory, and the fruit of the earth will be the pride of those who are still living in Israel.
bbe@Isaiah:4:3 @And it will come about that the rest of the living in Zion, and of those who have been kept from destruction in Jerusalem, will be named holy, even everyone who has been recorded for life in Jerusalem:
bbe@Isaiah:5:2 @And after working the earth of it with a spade, he took away its stones, and put in it a very special vine; and he put up a watchtower in the middle of it, hollowing out in the rock a place for the grape-crushing; and he was hoping that it would give the best grapes, but it gave common grapes.
bbe@Isaiah:5:4 @Is there anything which might have been done for my vine-garden which I have not done? why then, when I was hoping for the best grapes did it give me common grapes?
bbe@Isaiah:5:5 @And now, this is what I will do to my vine-garden: I will take away the circle of thorns round it, and it will be burned up; its wall will be broken down and the beasts of the field will go through it;
bbe@Isaiah:5:6 @And I will make it waste; its branches will not be touched with the knife, or the earth worked with the spade; but blackberries and thorns will come up in it: and I will give orders to the clouds not to send rain on it.
bbe@Isaiah:5:9 @The Lord of armies has said to me secretly, Truly, numbers of great and fair houses will be waste, with no one living in them.
bbe@Isaiah:5:11 @Cursed are those who get up early in the morning to give themselves up to strong drink; who keep on drinking far into the night till they are heated with wine!
bbe@Isaiah:5:14 @For this cause the underworld has made wide its throat, opening its mouth without limit: and her glory, and the noise of her masses, and her loud-voiced feasters, will go down into it.
bbe@Isaiah:5:19 @Who say, Let him do his work quickly, let him make it sudden, so that we may see it: let the design of the Holy One of Israel come near, so that it may be clear to us.
bbe@Isaiah:5:20 @Cursed are those who give the name of good to evil, and of evil to what is good: who make light dark, and dark light: who make bitter sweet, and sweet bitter!
bbe@Isaiah:5:27 @There is no weariness among them, and no man is feeble-footed: they come without resting or sleeping, and the cord of their shoes is not broken.
bbe@Isaiah:5:29 @The sound of their armies will be like the voice of a lion, and their war-cry like the noise of young lions: with loud cries they will come down on their food and will take it away safely, and there will be no one to take it out of their hands.
bbe@Isaiah:5:30 @And his voice will be loud over him in that day like the sounding of the sea: and if a man's eyes are turned to the earth, it is all dark and full of trouble; and the light is made dark by thick clouds.
bbe@Isaiah:6:6 @Then a winged one came to me with a burning coal in his hand, which he had taken from off the altar with the fire-spoon.
bbe@Isaiah:6:7 @And after touching my mouth with it, he said, See, your lips have been touched with this; and your evil is taken away, and you are made clean from sin.
bbe@Isaiah:6:9 @And he said, Go, and say to this people, You will go on hearing, but learning nothing; you will go on seeing, but without getting wiser.
bbe@Isaiah:6:10 @Make the hearts of this people fat, and let their ears be stopped, and their eyes shut; for fear that they may see with their eyes, and be hearing with their ears, and their heart may become wise, and they may be turned to me and made well.
bbe@Isaiah:6:13 @And even if there is still a tenth part in it, it will again be burned, like a tree of the woods whose broken end is still in the earth after the tree has been cut down (the holy seed is the broken end).
bbe@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, the king of Israel, came up to Jerusalem to make war against it, but were not able to overcome it.
bbe@Isaiah:7:2 @And word came to the family of David that Aram had put up its tents in Ephraim. And the king's heart, and the hearts of his people, were moved, like the trees of the wood shaking in the wind.
bbe@Isaiah:7:4 @And say to him, Take care and be quiet; have no fear, and do not let your heart be feeble, because of these two ends of smoking fire-wood, because of the bitter wrath of Rezin and Aram, and of the son of Remaliah.
bbe@Isaiah:7:9 @And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If you will not have faith, your kingdom will be broken.
bbe@Isaiah:7:13 @And he said, Give ear now, O family of David: is it not enough that you are driving men to disgust? will you do the same to my God?
bbe@Isaiah:7:14 @For this cause the Lord himself will give you a sign; a young woman is now with child, and she will give birth to a son, and she will give him the name Immanuel.
bbe@Isaiah:7:18 @And it will be in that day that the Lord will make a piping sound for the fly which is in the end of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee which is in the land of Assyria.
bbe@Isaiah:7:20 @In that day will the Lord take away the hair of the head and of the feet, as well as the hair of the face, with a blade got for a price from the other side of the River; even with the king of Assyria.
bbe@Isaiah:7:21 @And it will be in that day that a man will give food to a young cow and two sheep;
bbe@Isaiah:7:23 @And it will be in that day that in every place where before there were a thousand vines valued at a thousand shekels of silver, there will be nothing but blackberries and thorns.
bbe@Isaiah:7:24 @Men will come there with bows and arrows, because all the land will be full of blackberries and thorns.
bbe@Isaiah:7:25 @And they will send out the oxen and the sheep on all the hills which before were worked with the spade,... fear of blackberries and thorns.
bbe@Isaiah:8:1 @And the Lord said to me, Take a great writing-board, and on it put down in common letters, Maher-shalal-hash-baz;
bbe@Isaiah:8:2 @And take true witnesses to the writing, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah, the son of Jeberechiah.
bbe@Isaiah:8:3 @And I went in to my wife, and she became with child, and gave birth to a son. Then the Lord said to me, Give him the name Maher-shalal-hash-baz,
bbe@Isaiah:8:6 @Because this people will have nothing to do with the softly-flowing waters of Shiloah, and have fear of Rezin and Remaliah's son;
bbe@Isaiah:8:7 @For this cause the Lord is sending on them the waters of the River, deep and strong, even the king of Assyria and all his glory: and it will come up through all its streams, overflowing all its edges:
bbe@Isaiah:8:8 @And it will come on into Judah; rushing on and overflowing, till the waters are up to the neck; *** and his outstretched wings will be covering the land from side to side: for God is with us.
bbe@Isaiah:8:10 @Let your designs be formed, and they will come to nothing; give your orders, and they will not be effected: for God is with us.
bbe@Isaiah:8:11 @For the Lord, controlling me with a strong hand, gave me orders not to go in the way of this people, saying,
bbe@Isaiah:8:12 @Do not say, It is holy, about everything of which this people says, It is holy; and do not be in fear of what they go in fear of.
bbe@Isaiah:8:17 @And I will be waiting for the Lord, whose face is veiled from the house of Jacob, and I will be looking for him.
bbe@Isaiah:8:19 @And when they say to you, Make request for us to those who have control of spirits, and to those wise in secret arts, who make hollow bird-like sounds; is it not right for a people to make request to their gods, to make request for the living to the dead?
bbe@Isaiah:8:20 @Then say to them, Put your faith in the teaching and the witness.... If they do not say such things.... For him there is no dawn....
bbe@Isaiah:8:21 @And he will go through the land in bitter trouble and in need of food; and when he is unable to get food, he will become angry, cursing his king and his God, and his eyes will be turned to heaven on high;
bbe@Isaiah:9:1 @In earlier times he made the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali of small value, but after that he gave it glory, by the way of the sea, on the other side of Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
bbe@Isaiah:9:5 @For every boot of the man of war with his sounding step, and the clothing rolled in blood, will be for burning, food for the fire.
bbe@Isaiah:9:7 @Of the increase of his rule and of peace there will be no end, on the seat of David, and in his kingdom; to make it strong, supporting it with wise decision and righteousness, now and for ever. By the fixed purpose of the Lord of armies this will be done.
bbe@Isaiah:9:8 @The Lord has sent a word to Jacob, and it has come on Israel;
bbe@Isaiah:9:9 @And all the people will have experience of it, even Ephraim and the men of Samaria, who say in the pride of their uplifted hearts,
bbe@Isaiah:9:12 @Aram on the east, and the Philistines on the west, who have come against Israel with open mouths. For all this his wrath is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
bbe@Isaiah:9:17 @For this cause the Lord will have no pleasure in their young men, and no pity on their widows and the children without fathers: for they are all haters of God and evil-doers, and foolish words come from every mouth. For all this his wrath is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
bbe@Isaiah:9:19 @The land was dark with the wrath of the Lord of armies: the people were like those who take men's flesh for food.
bbe@Isaiah:9:20 @On the right a man was cutting off bits and was still in need; on the left a man took a meal but had not enough; no man had pity on his brother; every man was making a meal of the flesh of his neighbour
bbe@Isaiah:10:1 @Cursed are those who make evil decisions, and the writers who make the records of their cruel acts:
bbe@Isaiah:10:12 @For this cause it will be that, when the purpose of the Lord against Mount Zion and Jerusalem is complete, I will send punishment on the pride of the heart of the king of Assyria, and on the glory of his uplifted eyes.
bbe@Isaiah:10:13 @For he has said, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my knowledge, for I am wise: and I have taken away the limits of the peoples' lands, and the stores of their wealth have become mine; and I have made towns low in the dust, sending destruction on those living in them;
bbe@Isaiah:10:15 @Will the axe say high-sounding words against him who is using it, or the blade be full of pride against him who is cutting with it? As if a rod had the power of shaking him who is using it, or as if a stick might take up him who is not wood.
bbe@Isaiah:10:18 @And he will put an end to the glory of his woods and of his planted fields, soul and body together; and it will be as when a man is wasted by disease.
bbe@Isaiah:10:19 @And the rest of the trees of his wood will be small in number, so that a child may put them down in writing.
bbe@Isaiah:10:20 @And it will be in that day that the rest of Israel, and those of Jacob who have come safely through these troubles, will no longer go for help to him whose rod was on their back, but their faith will be in the Lord, the Holy One of Israel.
bbe@Isaiah:10:26 @And the Lord of armies will be shaking a whip against him, as when he overcame Midian at the rock of Oreb: and his rod will be lifted up against them as it was against the Egyptians.
bbe@Isaiah:10:29 @They have gone across the mountain; Geba will be our resting-place tonight, they say: Ramah is shaking with fear; Gibeah of Saul has gone in flight.
bbe@Isaiah:10:33 @See, the Lord, the Lord of armies, is cutting off his branches with a great noise, and his strong ones are falling and his high ones are coming down.
bbe@Isaiah:10:34 @And he is cutting down the thick places of the wood with an axe, and Lebanon with its tall trees is coming down.
bbe@Isaiah:11:1 @And there will come a rod out of the broken tree of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots will give fruit.
bbe@Isaiah:11:2 @And the spirit of the Lord will be resting on him, the spirit of wisdom and good sense, the spirit of wise guiding and strength, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord;
bbe@Isaiah:11:4 @But he will do right in the cause of the poor, and give wise decisions for those in the land who are in need; and the rod of his mouth will come down on the cruel, and with the breath of his lips he will put an end to the evil-doer.
bbe@Isaiah:11:5 @And righteousness will be the cord of his robe, and good faith the band round his breast.
bbe@Isaiah:11:6 @And the wolf will be living with the lamb, and the leopard will take his rest with the young goat; and the lion will take grass for food like the ox; and the young lion will go with the young ones of the herd; and a little child will be their guide.
bbe@Isaiah:11:14 @And they will be united in attacking the Philistines on the west, and together they will take the goods of the children of the east: their hand will be on Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon will be under their rule.
bbe@Isaiah:11:15 @And the Lord will make the tongue of the Egyptian sea completely dry; and with his burning wind his hand will be stretched out over the River, and it will be parted into seven streams, so that men may go over it with dry feet.
bbe@Isaiah:12:1 @And in that day you will say I will give praise to you, O Lord; for though you were angry with me, your wrath is turned away, and I am comforted.
bbe@Isaiah:12:2 @See, God is my salvation; I will have faith in the Lord, without fear: for the Lord Jah is my strength and song; and he has become my salvation.
bbe@Isaiah:12:3 @So with joy will you get water out of the springs of salvation.
bbe@Isaiah:13:2 @Put up a flag on a clear mountain-top, make a loud outcry to them, give directions with the hand, so that they may go into the doors of the great ones.
bbe@Isaiah:13:5 @They come from a far country, from the farthest part of heaven, even the Lord and the instruments of his wrath, with destruction for all the land.
bbe@Isaiah:13:6 @Send out a cry of grief; for the day of the Lord is near; it comes as destruction from the Most High.
bbe@Isaiah:13:9 @See, the day of the Lord is coming, cruel, with wrath and burning passion: to make the land a waste, driving the sinners in it to destruction.
bbe@Isaiah:13:10 @For the stars of heaven and its bright armies will not give their light: the sun will be made dark in his journey through the heaven, and the moon will keep back her light.
bbe@Isaiah:13:11 @And I will send punishment on the world for its evil, and on the sinners for their wrongdoing; and I will put an end to all pride, and will make low the power of the cruel.
bbe@Isaiah:13:13 @For this cause the heavens will be shaking, and the earth will be moved out of its place, in the wrath of the Lord of armies, and in the day of his burning passion.
bbe@Isaiah:13:14 @And it will be that, like a roe in flight, and like wandering sheep, they will go every man to his people and to his land.
bbe@Isaiah:13:18 @In their hands are bows and spears; they are cruel, violently putting the young men to death, and crushing the young women; they have no pity for children, and no mercy for the fruit of the body.
bbe@Isaiah:13:20 @People will never be living in it again, and it will have no more men from generation to generation: the Arab will not put up his tent there; and those who keep sheep will not make it a resting-place for their flocks.
bbe@Isaiah:13:21 @But the beasts of the waste land will have their holes there; and the houses will be full of crying jackals, and ostriches will have their place there, and evil spirits will be dancing there.
bbe@Isaiah:14:2 @And the people will take them with them to their place: and the children of Israel will give them a heritage in the Lord's land as men-servants and women-servants, making them prisoners whose prisoners they were; and they will be rulers over their masters.
bbe@Isaiah:14:3 @And it will be, in the day when the Lord gives you rest from your sorrow, and from your trouble, and from the hard yoke which they had put on you,
bbe@Isaiah:14:4 @That you will take up this bitter song against the king of Babylon, and say, How has the cruel overseer come to an end! He who was lifted up in pride is cut off;
bbe@Isaiah:14:6 @He whose rod was on the peoples with an unending wrath, ruling the nations in passion, with an uncontrolled rule.
bbe@Isaiah:14:8 @Even the trees of the wood are glad over you, the trees of Lebanon, saying, From the time of your fall no wood-cutter has come up against us with an axe.
bbe@Isaiah:14:11 @Your pride has gone down into the underworld, and the noise of your instruments of music; the worms are under you, and your body is covered with them.
bbe@Isaiah:14:15 @But you will come down to the underworld, even to its inmost parts.
bbe@Isaiah:14:16 @Those who see you will be looking on you with care, they will be in deep thought, saying, Is this the troubler of the earth, the shaker of kingdoms?
bbe@Isaiah:14:17 @Who made the world a waste, overturning its towns; who did not let his prisoners loose from the prison-house
bbe@Isaiah:14:19 @But you, like a birth before its time, are stretched out with no resting-place in the earth; clothed with the bodies of the dead who have been put to the sword, who go down to the lowest parts of the underworld; a dead body, crushed under foot.
bbe@Isaiah:14:20 @As for your fathers, you will not be united with them in their resting-place, because you have been the cause of destruction to your land, and of death to your people; the seed of the evil-doer will have no place in the memory of man.
bbe@Isaiah:14:21 @Make ready a place of death for his children, because of the evil-doing of their father; so that they may not come up and take the earth for their heritage, covering the face of the world with waste places.
bbe@Isaiah:14:23 @And I will make you a heritage for the hedgehog, and pools of water: and I will go through it with the brush of destruction, says the Lord of armies.
bbe@Isaiah:14:27 @For it is the purpose of the Lord of armies, and who will make it of no effect? when his hand is stretched out, by whom may it be turned back?
bbe@Isaiah:14:29 @Be not glad, O Philistia, all of you, because the rod which was on you is broken: for out of the snake's root will come a poison-snake, and its fruit will be a winged poison-snake.
bbe@Isaiah:15:3 @In their streets they are covering themselves with haircloth: on the tops of their houses, and in their public places, there is crying and bitter weeping.
bbe@Isaiah:15:4 @Heshbon is crying out, and Elealeh; their voice is sounding even to Jahaz: for this cause the heart of Moab is shaking; his soul is shaking with fear.
bbe@Isaiah:15:5 @My heart is crying out for Moab; her people go in flight to Zoar, and to Eglath-shelishiyah: for they go up with weeping by the slope of Luhith; on the way to Horonaim they send up a cry of destruction.
bbe@Isaiah:15:8 @For the cry has gone round the limits of Moab; as far as to Eglaim and Beer-elim.
bbe@Isaiah:16:4 @Let those who have been forced out of Moab have a resting-place with you; be a cover to them from him who is making waste their land: till the cruel ones are cut off, and wasting has come to an end, and those who take pleasure in crushing the poor are gone from the land.
bbe@Isaiah:16:5 @Then a king's seat will be based on mercy, and one will be seated on it in the tent of David for ever; judging uprightly, and quick to do righteousness.
bbe@Isaiah:16:6 @We have had word of the pride of Moab, how great it is; how he is lifted up in pride and passion: his high words about himself are false.
bbe@Isaiah:16:9 @For this cause my sorrow for the vine of Sibmah will be like the weeping for Jazer: my eyes are dropping water on you, O Heshbon and Elealeh! For they are sounding the war-cry over your summer fruits and the getting in of your grain;
bbe@Isaiah:16:10 @And all joy is gone; no longer are they glad for the fertile field; and in the vine-gardens there are no songs or sounds of joy: the crushing of grapes has come to an end, and its glad cry has been stopped.
bbe@Isaiah:16:12 @And when Moab goes up to the high place, and makes prayer in the house of his god, it will have no effect.
bbe@Isaiah:16:14 @But now the Lord has said, In three years, the years of a servant working for payment, the glory of Moab, all that great people, will be turned to shame, and the rest of Moab will be very small and without honour.
bbe@Isaiah:17:1 @The word about Damascus. See, they have made Damascus a town no longer; it has become a waste place.
bbe@Isaiah:17:2 @Her towns are unpeopled for ever; there the flocks take their rest in peace, without fear.
bbe@Isaiah:17:4 @And it will be in that day that the glory of Jacob will be made small, and the strength of his body will become feeble.
bbe@Isaiah:17:5 @And it will be like a man cutting the growth of his grain, pulling together the heads of the grain with his arm; even as when they get in the grain in the valley of Rephaim.
bbe@Isaiah:17:6 @But it will be like a man shaking an olive-tree, something will still be there, two or three berries on the top of the highest branch, four or five on the outside branches of a fertile tree, says the Lord, the God of Israel.
bbe@Isaiah:17:9 @In that day your towns will be like the waste places of the Hivites and the Amorites which the children of Israel took for a heritage, and they will come to destruction.
bbe@Isaiah:17:10 @For you have not given honour to the God of your salvation, and have not kept in mind the Rock of your strength; for this cause you made a garden of Adonis, and put in it the vine-cuttings of a strange god;
bbe@Isaiah:17:11 @In the day of your planting you were watching its growth, and in the morning your seed was flowering: but its fruit is wasted away in the day of grief and bitter sorrow.
bbe@Isaiah:18:2 @Which sends its representatives by the sea, even in ships of papyrus on the waters. Go back quickly, O representatives, to a nation tall and smooth, to a people causing fear through all their history; a strong nation, crushing down its haters, whose land is cut through by rivers.
bbe@Isaiah:18:5 @For before the time of getting in the grapes, after the opening of the bud, when the flower has become a grape ready for crushing, he will take away the small branches with knives, cutting down and taking away the wide-stretching branches.
bbe@Isaiah:18:7 @In that time an offering will be made to the Lord of armies from a people tall and smooth, causing fear through all their history; a strong nation, crushing down its haters, whose land is cut through by rivers, an offering taken to the place of the name of the Lord of armies, even Mount Zion.
bbe@Isaiah:19:3 @And the spirit of Egypt will be troubled in her, and I will make her decisions without effect: and they will be turning to the false gods, and to those who make hollow sounds, and to those who have control of spirits, and to those who are wise in secret arts.
bbe@Isaiah:19:14 @The Lord has sent among them a spirit of error: and by them Egypt is turned out of the right way in all her doings, as a man overcome by wine is uncertain in his steps.
bbe@Isaiah:19:16 @In that day the Egyptians will be like women: and the land will be shaking with fear because of the waving of the Lord's hand stretched out over it.
bbe@Isaiah:19:17 @And the land of Judah will become a cause of great fear to Egypt; whenever its name comes to mind, Egypt will be in fear before the Lord of armies because of his purpose against it.
bbe@Isaiah:19:20 @And it will be a sign and a witness to the Lord of armies in the land of Egypt: when they are crying out to the Lord because of their cruel masters, then he will send them a saviour and a strong one to make them free.
bbe@Isaiah:19:21 @And the Lord will give the knowledge of himself to Egypt, and the Egyptians will give honour to the Lord in that day; they will give him worship with offerings and meal offerings, and will take an oath to the Lord and give effect to it.
bbe@Isaiah:19:23 @In that day there will be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and Assyria will come into Egypt, and Egypt will come into Assyria; and the Egyptians will give worship to the Lord together with the Assyrians.
bbe@Isaiah:19:24 @In that day Israel will be the third together with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing in the earth:
bbe@Isaiah:19:25 @Because of the blessing of the Lord of armies which he has given them, saying, A blessing on Egypt my people, and on Assyria the work of my hands, and on Israel my heritage.
bbe@Isaiah:20:1 @In the year when the Tartan came to Ashdod, sent by Sargon, king of Assyria, and made war against it and took it;
bbe@Isaiah:20:2 @At that time the word of the Lord came to Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saying, Go, and take off your robe, and your shoes from your feet; and he did so, walking unclothed and without shoes on his feet.
bbe@Isaiah:20:3 @And the Lord said, As my servant Isaiah has gone unclothed and without shoes for three years as a sign and a wonder to Egypt and Ethiopia,
bbe@Isaiah:20:4 @So will the king of Assyria take away the prisoners of Egypt and those forced out of Ethiopia, young and old, unclothed and without shoes, and with backs uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.
bbe@Isaiah:20:5 @And they will be full of fear, and will no longer have faith in Ethiopia which was their hope, or in Egypt which was their glory.
bbe@Isaiah:21:1 @The word about the waste land. As storm-winds in the South go rushing through, it comes from the waste land, from the land greatly to be feared.
bbe@Isaiah:21:2 @A vision of fear comes before my eyes; the worker of deceit goes on in his false way, and the waster goes on making waste. Up! Elam; to the attack! Media; I have put an end to her sorrow.
bbe@Isaiah:21:3 @For this cause I am full of bitter grief; pains like the pains of a woman in childbirth have come on me: I am bent down with sorrow at what comes to my ears; I am shocked by what I see.
bbe@Isaiah:21:7 @And when he sees war-carriages, horsemen by twos, war-carriages with asses, war-carriages with camels, let him give special attention.
bbe@Isaiah:21:9 @See, here come war-carriages with men, horsemen by twos: and in answer he said, Babylon is made low, is made low, and all her images are broken on the earth.
bbe@Isaiah:21:13 @The word about Arabia. In the thick woods of Arabia will be your night's resting-place, O travelling bands of Dedanites!
bbe@Isaiah:21:17 @And the rest of the bowmen, the men of war of the children of Kedar, will be small in number: for the Lord, the God of Israel, has said it.
bbe@Isaiah:22:4 @For this cause I have said, Let your eyes be turned away from me in my bitter weeping; I will not be comforted for the wasting of the daughter of my people.
bbe@Isaiah:22:5 @For it is a day of trouble and of crushing down and of destruction from the Lord, the Lord of armies, in the valley of vision;...
bbe@Isaiah:22:6 @And Elam was armed with arrows, and Aram came on horseback; and the breastplate of Kir was uncovered.
bbe@Isaiah:22:7 @And your most fertile valleys were full of war-carriages, and the horsemen took up their positions in front of the town.
bbe@Isaiah:22:8 @He took away the cover of Judah; and in that day you were looking with care at the store of arms in the house of the woods.
bbe@Isaiah:22:11 @And you made a place between the two walls for storing the waters of the old pool: but you gave no thought to him who had done this, and were not looking to him by whom it had been purposed long before.
bbe@Isaiah:22:15 @The Lord, the Lord of armies, says, Go to this person in authority, this Shebna, who is over the house; who has made himself a resting-place on high, cutting out a place for himself in the rock, and say,
bbe@Isaiah:22:17 @See, O strong man, the Lord will send you violently away, gripping you with force,
bbe@Isaiah:22:19 @And I will have you forced out of your place of authority, and pulled down from your position.
bbe@Isaiah:22:21 @And I will put your robe on him, and put your band about him, and I will give your authority into his hand: and he will be a father to the men of Jerusalem, and to the family of Judah.
bbe@Isaiah:22:25 @In that day, says the Lord of armies, will the nail fixed in a safe place give way; and it will be cut down, and in its fall the weight hanging on it will be cut off, for the Lord has said it.
bbe@Isaiah:23:1 @The word about Tyre. Let a cry of sorrow go up, O ships of Tarshish, because your strong place is made waste; on the way back from the land of Kittim the news is given to them.
bbe@Isaiah:23:4 @Be shamed, O Zidon: for the sea, the strong place of the sea has said, I have not been with child, or given birth; I have not taken care of young men, or kept watch over the growth of virgins.
bbe@Isaiah:23:5 @When the news comes to Egypt they will be bitterly pained at the fate of Tyre.
bbe@Isaiah:23:9 @It was the purpose of the Lord of armies to put pride to shame, to make sport of the glory of those who are honoured in the earth.
bbe@Isaiah:23:10 @Let your land be worked with the plough, O daughter of Tarshish; there is no longer any harbour.
bbe@Isaiah:23:11 @His hand is stretched out over the sea, the kingdoms are shaking: the Lord has given orders about Canaan, to make waste its strong places.
bbe@Isaiah:23:12 @And he said, There is no more joy for you, O crushed virgin daughter of Zidon: up! go over to Kittim; even there you will have no rest.
bbe@Isaiah:23:15 @And it will be in that day that Tyre will go out of mind for seventy years, that is, the days of one king: after the end of seventy years it will be for Tyre as in the song of the loose woman.
bbe@Isaiah:23:16 @Take an instrument of music, go about the town, O loose woman who has gone out from the memory of man; make sweet melody with songs, so that you may come back to men's minds.
bbe@Isaiah:23:17 @And it will be after the end of seventy years, that the Lord will have mercy on Tyre, and she will go back to her trade, acting as a loose woman with all the kingdoms of the world on the face of the earth.
bbe@Isaiah:24:1 @See, the Lord is making the earth waste and unpeopled, he is turning it upside down, and sending the people in all directions.
bbe@Isaiah:24:2 @And it will be the same for the people as for the priest; for the servant as for his master; and for the woman-servant as for her owner; the same for the one offering goods for a price as for him who takes them; the same for him who gives money at interest and for him who takes it; the same for him who lets others have the use of his property as for those who make use of it.
bbe@Isaiah:24:3 @The earth will be completely waste and without men; for this is the word of the Lord.
bbe@Isaiah:24:5 @The earth has been made unclean by those living in it; because the laws have not been kept by them, the orders have been changed, and the eternal agreement has been broken.
bbe@Isaiah:24:6 @For this cause the earth is given up to the curse, and those in it are judged as sinners: for this cause those living on the earth are burned up, and the rest are small in number.
bbe@Isaiah:24:9 @There is no more drinking of wine with a song; strong drink will be bitter to those who take it.
bbe@Isaiah:24:13 @For it will be in the heart of the earth among the peoples, like the shaking of an olive-tree, as the last of the grapes after the getting-in is done.
bbe@Isaiah:24:18 @And it will be that he who goes in flight from the sound of fear will be overtaken by death; and he who gets free from death will be taken in the net: for the windows on high are open, and the bases of the earth are shaking.
bbe@Isaiah:24:19 @The earth is completely broken, it is parted in two, it is violently moved.
bbe@Isaiah:24:20 @The earth will be moving uncertainly, like a man overcome by drink; it will be shaking like a tent; and the weight of its sin will be on it, crushing it down so that it will not get up again
bbe@Isaiah:25:2 @For you have made a town a waste place: a strong town a mass of broken walls; the tower of the men of pride has come to an end; it will never be put up again.
bbe@Isaiah:25:8 @He has put an end to death for ever; and the Lord God will take away all weeping; and he will put an end to the shame of his people in all the earth: for the Lord has said it.
bbe@Isaiah:25:9 @And in that day it will be said, See, this is our God; we have been waiting for him, and he will be our saviour: this is the Lord in whom is our hope; we will be glad and have delight in his salvation
bbe@Isaiah:26:2 @Let the doors be open, so that the upright nation which keeps faith may come in.
bbe@Isaiah:26:5 @For he has made low those who are lifted up, all the people of the town of pride: he makes it low, crushing it down to the earth; he makes it low in the dust.
bbe@Isaiah:26:6 @It will be crushed under the feet of the poor and the steps of those who are in need.
bbe@Isaiah:26:8 @We have been waiting for you, O Lord; the desire of our soul is for the memory of your name.
bbe@Isaiah:26:9 @In the night the desire of my soul has been for you; early will my spirit be searching for you; for when your punishments come on the earth, the people of the world will get the knowledge of righteousness.
bbe@Isaiah:26:14 @The dead will not come back to life: their spirits will not come back to earth; for this cause you have sent destruction on them, so that the memory of them is dead.
bbe@Isaiah:26:15 @You have made the nation great, O Lord, you have made it great; glory is yours: you have made wide the limits of the land.
bbe@Isaiah:26:17 @As a woman with child, whose time is near, is troubled, crying out in her pain; so have we been before you, O Lord.
bbe@Isaiah:26:18 @We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have given birth to wind; no salvation has come to the earth through us, and no children have come into the world.
bbe@Isaiah:27:1 @In that day the Lord, with his great and strong and cruel sword, will send punishment on Leviathan, the quick-moving snake, and on Leviathan, the twisted snake; and he will put to death the dragon which is in the sea.
bbe@Isaiah:27:2 @In that day it will be said, A vine-garden of delight, make a song about it.
bbe@Isaiah:27:3 @I, the Lord, am watching it; I will give it water at all times: I will keep it night and day, for fear that any damage comes to it.
bbe@Isaiah:27:5 @Or let him put himself under my power, and make peace with me.
bbe@Isaiah:27:6 @In days to come Jacob will take root: Israel will put out buds and flowers; and the face of the world will be full of fruit.
bbe@Isaiah:27:8 @Your anger against her has been made clear by driving her away; he has taken her away with his storm-wind in the day of his east wind.
bbe@Isaiah:27:9 @So by this will the sin of Jacob be covered, and this is all the fruit of taking away his punishment; when all the stones of the altar are crushed together, so that the wood pillars and the sun-images will not be put up again.
bbe@Isaiah:27:10 @For the strong town is without men, an unpeopled living-place; and she has become a waste land: there the young ox will take his rest, and its branches will be food for him.
bbe@Isaiah:27:11 @When its branches are dry they will be broken off; the women will come and put fire to them: for it is a foolish people; for this cause he who made them will have no mercy on them, and he whose work they are will not have pity on them.
bbe@Isaiah:27:12 @And it will be in that day that the Lord will get together his grain, from the River to the stream of Egypt, and you will be got together with care, O children of Israel.
bbe@Isaiah:27:13 @And it will be in that day that a great horn will be sounded; and those who were wandering in the land of Assyria, and those who had been sent away into the land of Egypt, will come; and they will give worship to the Lord in the holy mountain at Jerusalem
bbe@Isaiah:28:4 @And the dead flower of his glory, which is on the head of the fertile valley, will be like the first early fruit before the summer; which a man takes and puts in his mouth the minute he sees it.
bbe@Isaiah:28:6 @And a spirit of wisdom to the judge, and strength to those who keep back the attackers at the door of the town.
bbe@Isaiah:28:8 @For all the tables are covered with coughed-up food, so that there is not a clean place.
bbe@Isaiah:28:9 @To whom will he give knowledge? and to whom will he make clear the word? Will it be to those who have newly given up milk, and who have only now been taken from the breast?
bbe@Isaiah:28:10 @For it is one rule after another; one line after another; here a little, there a little.
bbe@Isaiah:28:11 @No, but with broken talk, and with a strange tongue, he will give his word to this people:
bbe@Isaiah:28:13 @For this cause the word of the Lord will be to them rule after rule, line after line, here a little, there a little; so that they may go on their way, and falling back may be broken, and taken in the net.
bbe@Isaiah:28:15 @Because you have said, We have made death our friend, and with the underworld we have made an agreement; when the overflowing waters come through they will not come near us; for we are looking to false words for help, taking cover in what is untrue:
bbe@Isaiah:28:16 @For this cause says the Lord God, See, I am placing in Zion as a base, a stone, a tested stone, an angle-stone which is certain and of great value: and he who has faith will not give way.
bbe@Isaiah:28:18 @And the help you were looking for from death will come to nothing, and your agreement with the underworld will be broken; when the overflowing waters come through, then you will be overcome by them.
bbe@Isaiah:28:20 @For the bed is not long enough for a man to be stretched out on: and the cover is not wide enough for him to be covered with.
bbe@Isaiah:28:25 @When the face of the earth has been levelled, does he not put in the different sorts of seed, and the grain in lines, and the barley in its place, and the spelt at the edge?
bbe@Isaiah:28:27 @For the fitches are not crushed with a sharp instrument, and a cart-wheel is not rolled over the cummin; but the grain of the fitches is hammered out with a stick, and of the cummin with a rod.
bbe@Isaiah:28:28 @Is the grain for bread crushed? He does not go on crushing it for ever, but he lets his cart-wheels and his horses go over it without crushing it.
bbe@Isaiah:29:4 @And you will be made low, and your voice will come out of the earth, and your words will be low out of the dust; and your voice will come out of the earth like that of a spirit, making bird-like noises out of the dust.
bbe@Isaiah:29:5 @And the army of your attackers will be like small dust, and all the cruel ones like dry stems gone before the wind; suddenly it will come about.
bbe@Isaiah:29:6 @The Lord of armies will come in with thunder and earth-shaking and great noise, with rushing wind and storm, and the flame of burning fire.
bbe@Isaiah:29:7 @And all the nations making war on Ariel, and all those who are fighting against her and shutting her in with their towers, will be like a dream, like a vision of the night.
bbe@Isaiah:29:8 @And it will be like a man desiring food, and dreaming that he is feasting; but when he is awake there is nothing in his mouth: or like a man in need of water, dreaming that he is drinking; but when he is awake he is feeble and his soul is full of desire: so will all the nations be which make war on Mount Zion.
bbe@Isaiah:29:9 @Be surprised and full of wonder; let your eyes be covered and be blind: be overcome, but not with wine; go with uncertain steps, but not because of strong drink.
bbe@Isaiah:29:10 @For the Lord has sent on you a spirit of deep sleep; and by him your eyes, the prophets, are shut, and your heads, the seers, are covered.
bbe@Isaiah:29:11 @And the vision of all this has become to you like the words of a book which is shut, which men give to one who has knowledge of writing, saying, Make clear to us what is in the book: and he says, I am not able to, for the book is shut:
bbe@Isaiah:29:12 @And they give it to one without learning, saying, Make clear to us what is in the book: and he says, I have no knowledge of writing.
bbe@Isaiah:29:13 @And the Lord said, because this people come near to me with their mouths, and give honour to me with their lips, but their heart is far from me, and their fear of me is false, a rule given them by the teaching of men;
bbe@Isaiah:29:16 @You are turning things upside down! Is the wet earth the same to you as the one who is forming
