Isaiah:1:2 @Give ear, O heavens, and you, O earth, to the word which the Lord has said: I have taken care of my children till they became men, but their hearts have been turned away from me.
bbe@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:1:5 @Why will you have more and more punishment? why keep on in your evil ways? Every head is tired and every heart is feeble.
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:1:9 @If the Lord of armies had not kept some at least of us safe, we would have been like Sodom, and the fate of Gomorrah would have been ours.
bbe@Isaiah:1:11 @What use to me is the number of the offerings which you give me? says the Lord; your burned offerings of sheep, and the best parts of fat cattle, are a weariness to me; I take no pleasure in the blood of oxen, or of lambs, or of he-goats.
bbe@Isaiah:1:12 @At whose request do you come before me, making my house unclean with your feet?
bbe@Isaiah:1:13 @Give me no more false offerings; the smoke of burning flesh is disgusting to me, so are your new moons and Sabbaths and your holy meetings.
bbe@Isaiah:1:15 @And when your hands are stretched out to me, my eyes will be turned away from you: even though you go on making prayers, I will not give ear: your hands are full of blood.
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:1:20 @But if your hearts are turned against me, I will send destruction on you by the sword; so the Lord has said.
bbe@Isaiah:1:21 @The upright town has become untrue; there was a time when her judges gave right decisions, when righteousness had a resting-place in her, but now she is full of those who take men's lives.
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:1:24 @For this reason the Lord, the Lord of armies, the Strong One of Israel, has said, I will put an end to my haters, and send punishment on those who are against me;
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:1:26 @And I will give you judges again as at the first, and wise guides as in the past; then you will be named, The Town of Righteousness, the true town.
bbe@Isaiah:1:27 @Upright acts will be the price of Zion's forgiveness, and by righteousness will men be living there.
bbe@Isaiah:1:29 @For you will be put to shame because of the trees of your desire, and because of the gardens of your pleasure.
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:2:3 @And the peoples will say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob: and he will give us knowledge of his ways, and we will be guided by his word; for out of Zion the law will go out, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
bbe@Isaiah:2:5 @O family of Jacob, come, and let us go in the light of the Lord.
bbe@Isaiah:2:11 @The high looks of man will be put to shame, and the pride of men will be made low, and only the Lord will be lifted up in that day.
bbe@Isaiah:2:12 @For the day of the Lord of armies is coming on all the pride of men, and on all who are high and lifted up;
bbe@Isaiah:2:17 @And the high looks of man will be put to shame, and the pride of men will be made low: and only the Lord will be lifted up in that day.
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:2:20 @In that day men will put their images of silver and of gold, which they made for worship, in the keeping of the beasts of the dark places;
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: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:3:8 @For Jerusalem has become feeble, and destruction has come on Judah, because their words and their acts are against the Lord, moving the eyes of his glory to wrath.
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:3:11 @Unhappy is the sinner! for the reward of his evil doings will come on him.
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:3:13 @The Lord is ready to take up his cause against his people, and is about to come forward as their judge.
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:3:18 @In that day the Lord will take away the glory of their foot-rings, and their sun-jewels, and their moon-ornaments,
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:3:24 @And in the place of sweet spices will be an evil smell, and for a fair band a thick cord; for a well-dressed head there will be the cutting-off of the hair, and for a beautiful robe there will be the clothing of sorrow; the mark of the prisoner in place of the ornaments of the free.
bbe@Isaiah:3:25 @Your men will be put to the sword, and your men of war will come to destruction in the fight.
bbe@Isaiah:4:1 @And in that day seven women will put their hands on one man, saying, There will be no need for you to give us food or clothing, only let us go under your name, so that our shame may be taken away.
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:4:5 @And over every living-place on Mount Zion, all over all her meetings, the Lord will make a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night, for over all, the glory of the Lord will be a cover and a tent;
bbe@Isaiah:4:6 @And a shade in the daytime from the heat, and a safe cover from storm and from rain.
bbe@Isaiah:5:1 @Let me make a song about my loved one, a song of love for his vine-garden. My loved one had a vine-garden on a fertile hill:
bbe@Isaiah:5:3 @And now, you people of Jerusalem and you men of Judah, be the judges between me and my vine-garden.
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:5:6 @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:5:7 @For the vine-garden of the Lord of armies is the people of Israel, and the men of Judah are the plant of his delight: and he was looking for upright judging, and there was blood; for righteousness, and there was a cry for help.
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:5:10 @For ten fields of vines will only give one measure of wine, and a great amount of seed will only give a small measure of grain.
bbe@Isaiah:5:12 @And corded instruments and wind-instruments and wine are in their feasts: but they give no thought to the work of the Lord, and they are not interested in what his hands are doing
bbe@Isaiah:5:15 @And the poor man's head is bent, and the great man goes down on his face, and the eyes of pride are put to shame:
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:5:24 @For this cause, as the waste of the grain is burned up by tongues of fire, and as the dry grass goes down before the flame, so their root will be like the dry stems of grain, and their flower will go up in dust: because they have gone against the law of the Lord of armies, and have given no honour to the word of the Holy One of Israel.
bbe@Isaiah:5:25 @For this reason the wrath of the Lord has been burning against his people, and his hand has been stretched out against them in punishment, and the hills were shaking, and their dead bodies were like waste in the open places of the town.
bbe@Isaiah:5:26 @And he will let a flag be lifted up as a sign to a far-off nation, whistling to them from the ends of the earth: and they will come quickly and suddenly.
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:6:5 @Then I said, The curse is on me, and my fate is destruction; for I am a man of unclean lips, living among a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of armies.
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:6:8 @And the voice of the Lord came to my ears, saying, Whom am I to send, and who will go for us? Then I said, Here am I, send me.
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:6:11 @Then I said, Lord, how long? And he said in answer, Till the towns are waste and unpeopled, and the houses have no men, and the land becomes completely waste,
bbe@Isaiah:6:12 @And the Lord has taken men far away, and there are wide waste places in the land.
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:7:3 @Then the Lord said to Isaiah, Go out now, you and Shear-jashub, your son, and you will come across Ahaz at the end of the stream flowing from the higher pool, in the highway of the washerman's field;
bbe@Isaiah:7:7 @This is the word of the Lord God: This design will not come about or be effected.
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:7:16 @For before the child is old enough to make a decision between evil and good, the land whose two kings you are now fearing will have become waste
bbe@Isaiah:7:17 @The Lord is about to send on you, and on your people, and on your father's house, such a time of trouble as there has not been from the days of the separating of Ephraim from Judah; even the coming of the king of Assyria.
bbe@Isaiah:7:19 @And they will come, covering all the waste valleys, and the holes of the rocks, and the thorns, and all the watering-places.
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: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:8:3 @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:8:5 @And the Lord said again to me,
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:8:14 @And he will be for a holy place: but for a stone of falling and a rock of trouble to the two houses of Israel, and to the men of Jerusalem, for a net in which they may be taken.
bbe@Isaiah:8:18 @See, I and the children whom the Lord has given me, are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the Lord of armies, whose resting-place is in Mount Zion
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:9:3 @You have made them very glad, increasing their joy. They are glad before you as men are glad in the time of getting in the grain, or when they make division of the goods taken in war.
bbe@Isaiah:9:6 @For to us a child has come, to us a son is given; and the government has been placed in his hands; and he has been named Wise Guide, Strong God, Father for ever, Prince of Peace.
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:9:10 @The bricks have come down, but we will put up buildings of cut stone in their place: the sycamores are cut down, but they will be changed to cedars.
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:9:13 @But the heart of the people was not turned to him who sent punishment on them, and they made no prayer to the Lord of armies.
bbe@Isaiah:9:16 @For the guides of this people are the cause of their wandering from the right way, and those who are guided by them come to destruction.
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:9:21 @Manasseh was making a meal of Ephraim, and Ephraim of Manasseh; and together they were attacking Judah. For all this his wrath is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
bbe@Isaiah:10:3 @And what will you do in the day of punishment, and in the destruction which is coming from far? to whom will you go for help, and what will become of your glory?
bbe@Isaiah:10:5 @Ho! Assyrian, the rod of my wrath, the instrument of my punishment!
bbe@Isaiah:10:10 @As my hand has come on the kingdoms of the images, whose pictured images were more in number than those of Jerusalem and Samaria;
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:10:16 @For this cause the Lord, the Lord of armies, will make his fat become wasted; and in his inner parts a fire will be lighted like a burning flame.
bbe@Isaiah:10:17 @And the light of Israel will be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: wasting and burning up his thorns in one day.
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:10:21 @The rest, even the rest of Jacob, will come back to the Strong God.
bbe@Isaiah:10:22 @For though your people, O Israel, are as the sand of the sea, only a small number will come back: for the destruction is fixed, overflowing in righteousness.
bbe@Isaiah:10:24 @For this cause the Lord, the Lord of armies, says, O my people living in Zion, have no fear of the Assyrian, even if his rod comes on your back, and his stick is lifted up as in Egypt.
bbe@Isaiah:10:25 @For in a very short time my passion will be over, and my wrath will be turned to their destruction.
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:10:28 @He has gone up from Pene-Rimmon, he has come to Aiath; he has gone past Migron, at Michmash he puts his forces in order.
bbe@Isaiah:10:31 @Madmenah has gone; the men of Gebim are putting their goods in a safe place.
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:11:4 @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:11:11 @And in that day the hand of the Lord will be stretched out the second time to get back the rest of his people, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the sea-lands
bbe@Isaiah:11:13 @And the envy of Ephraim will be gone, and those who make trouble for Judah will come to an end: Ephraim will have no more envy of Judah, and there will be an end of Judah's hate for Ephraim.
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:11:16 @And there will be a highway for the rest of his people from Assyria; as there was for Israel in the day when he came up out of the land of Egypt.
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:12:4 @And in that day you will say, Give praise to the Lord, let his name be honoured, give word of his doings among the peoples, say that his name is lifted up.
bbe@Isaiah:13:3 @I have given orders to my holy ones, I have sent out my men of war, those of mine who take pride in their power, to give effect to my wrath.
bbe@Isaiah:13:4 @The noise of great numbers in the mountains, like the noise of a strong people! The noise of the kingdoms of the nations meeting together! The Lord of armies is numbering his forces for war.
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:13:8 @Their hearts will be full of fear; pains and sorrows will overcome them; they will be in pain like a woman in childbirth; they will be shocked at one another; their faces will be like flames.
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:13:12 @I will make men so small in number, that a man will be harder to get than gold, even the best gold of Ophir.
bbe@Isaiah:13:17 @See, I am driving the Medes against them, who put no value on silver and have no pleasure in gold.
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:13:22 @And wolves will be answering one another in their towers, and jackals in their houses of pleasure: her time is near, and her days of power will quickly be ended.
bbe@Isaiah:14:1 @For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will again make Israel his special people, and will put them in their land; and the man from a strange country will take his place among them and be joined to the family of Jacob.
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:14:4 @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:14:8 @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:14:10 @They all make answer and say to you, Have you become feeble like us? have you been made even as we are?
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:14:13 @For you said in your heart, I will go up to heaven, I will make my seat higher than the stars of God; I will take my place on the mountain of the meeting-place of the gods, in the inmost parts of the north.
bbe@Isaiah:14:15 @But you will come down to the underworld, even to its inmost parts.
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:14:22 @For I will come up against them, says the Lord of armies, cutting off from Babylon name and offspring, son and son's son, says the Lord.
bbe@Isaiah:14:24 @The Lord has taken an oath, saying, My design will certainly come about, and my purpose will be effected:
bbe@Isaiah:14:25 @To let the Assyrian be broken in my land, and crushed under foot on my mountains: there will his yoke be taken away from them, and his rule over them come to an end.
bbe@Isaiah:14:28 @In the year of the death of King Ahaz this word came to the prophet:
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:14:30 @And the poorest of the land will have food, and those in need will be given a safe resting-place: but your seed will come to an end for need of food, and the rest of you will be put to the sword.
bbe@Isaiah:14:31 @Send out a cry, O door! Make sounds of sorrow, O town! All your land has come to nothing, O Philistia; for there comes a smoke out of the north, and everyone keeps his place in the line.
bbe@Isaiah:15:1 @The word about Moab. For in a night Ar of Moab has become waste, and is seen no longer; for in a night Kir of Moab has become waste, and is seen no longer.
bbe@Isaiah:15:2 @The daughter of Dibon has gone up to the high places, weeping: Moab is sounding her cry of sorrow over Nebo, and over Medeba: everywhere the hair of the head and of the face is cut off.
bbe@Isaiah:15:6 @The waters of Nimrim will become dry: for the grass is burned up, the young grass is coming to an end, every green thing is dead.
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:16:7 @For this cause everyone in Moab will give cries of grief for Moab: crushed to the earth, they will be weeping for the men of Kir-hareseth.
bbe@Isaiah:16:8 @For the fields of Heshbon are waste, the vine of Sibmah is dead; the lords of nations were overcome by the produce of her vines; her vine-plants went as far as Jazer, and came even to the waste land; her branches were stretched out to the sea.
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:16:14 @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:17:3 @The strong tower has gone from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus: the rest of Aram will come to destruction, and be made like the glory of the children of Israel, says the Lord of armies.
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:17:6 @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:18:4 @For this is what the Lord has said to me: I will be quiet, watching from my place; like the clear heat when the sun is shining, like a mist of dew in the heat of summer.
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:18:6 @They will be for the birds of the mountains, and for the beasts of the earth: the birds will come down on them in the summer, and the beasts of the earth in the winter.
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:19:5 @And the waters of the sea will be cut off, and the river will become dry and waste:
bbe@Isaiah:19:6 @And the rivers will have an evil smell; the stream of Egypt will become small and dry: all the water-plants will come to nothing.
bbe@Isaiah:19:7 @The grass-lands by the Nile, and everything planted by the Nile, will become dry, or taken away by the wind, and will come to an end.
bbe@Isaiah:19:8 @The fishermen will be sad, and all those who put fishing-lines into the Nile will be full of grief, and those whose nets are stretched out on the waters will have sorrow in their hearts.
bbe@Isaiah:19:9 @And all the workers in linen thread, and those who make cotton cloth, will be put to shame.
bbe@Isaiah:19:11 @The chiefs of Zoan are completely foolish; the wisest guides of Pharaoh have become like beasts: how do you say to Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the offspring of early kings?
bbe@Isaiah:19:12 @Where, then, are your wise men? let them make clear to you, let them give you knowledge of the purpose of the Lord of armies for Egypt.
bbe@Isaiah:19:13 @The chiefs of Zoan have become foolish, the chiefs of Noph are tricked, the heads of her tribes are the cause of Egypt's wandering out of the way.
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:19:18 @In that day there will be five towns in the land of Egypt using the language of Canaan, and making oaths to the Lord of armies; and one of them will be named, The Town of the Sun.
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:19:22 @And the Lord will send punishment on Egypt, and will make them well again; and when they come back to the Lord he will give ear to their prayer and take away their disease.
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: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:20:4 @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: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:21:4 @My mind is wandering, fear has overcome me: the evening of my desire has been turned into shaking for me.
bbe@Isaiah:21:6 @For so has the Lord said to me, Go, let a watchman be placed; let him give word of what he sees:
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:21:10 @O my crushed ones, the grain of my floor! I have given you the word which came to me from the Lord of armies, the God of Israel.
bbe@Isaiah:21:11 @The word about Edom. A voice comes to me from Seir, Watchman, how far gone is the night? how far gone is the night?
bbe@Isaiah:21:12 @The watchman says, The morning has come, but night is still to come: if you have questions to put, put them, and come back again.
bbe@Isaiah:21:14 @Give water to him who is in need of water; give bread, O men of the land of Tema, to those in flight
bbe@Isaiah:21:16 @For so has the Lord said to me, In a year, by the years of a servant working for payment, all the glory of Kedar will come to an end:
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:22:2 @You, who are full of loud voices, a town of outcries, given up to joy; your dead men have not been put to the sword, or come to their death in war.
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:22:6 @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:22:13 @But in place of these there was joy and delight, oxen and sheep were being made ready for food, there was feasting and drinking: men said, Now is the time for food and wine, for tomorrow death comes.
bbe@Isaiah:22:14 @And the Lord of armies said to me secretly, Truly, this sin will not be taken from you till your death, says the Lord, the Lord of armies.
bbe@Isaiah:22:18 @Twisting you round and round like a ball he will send you out into a wide country: there you will come to your end, and there will be the carriages of your pride, O shame of your lord's house!
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:23:2 @Send out a cry of grief, you men of the sea-land, traders of Zidon, who go over the sea, whose representatives are on great waters;
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:23:6 @Go over to Tarshish; give cries of sorrow, O men of the sea-land.
bbe@Isaiah:23:7 @Is this the town which was full of joy, whose start goes back to times long past, whose wanderings took her into far-off countries?
bbe@Isaiah:23:8 @By whom was this purposed against Tyre, the crowning town, whose traders are chiefs, whose business men are honoured in the land?
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:23:16 @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:24:2 @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:24:4 @The earth is sorrowing and wasting away, the world is full of grief and wasting away, the high ones of the earth come to nothing.
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:24:8 @The pleasing sound of all instruments of music has come to an end, and the voices of those who are glad.
bbe@Isaiah:24:10 @The town is waste and broken down: every house is shut up, so that no man may come in.
bbe@Isaiah:24:15 @Give praise to the Lord in the east, to the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, in the sea-lands.
bbe@Isaiah:24:16 @From the farthest part of the earth comes the sound of songs, glory to the upright. But I said, I am wasting away, wasting away, the curse is on me! The false ones go on in their false way, yes, they go on acting falsely.
bbe@Isaiah:24:17 @Fear, and death, and the net, are come on you, O people of the earth.
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:24:21 @And in that day the Lord will send punishment on the army of the high ones on high, and on the kings of the earth on the earth.
bbe@Isaiah:24:22 @And they will be got together, like prisoners in the prison-house; and after a long time they will have their punishment.
bbe@Isaiah:24:23 @Then the moon will be veiled, and the sun put to shame; for the Lord of armies will be ruling in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before his judges he will let his glory be seen.
bbe@Isaiah:25:1 @O Lord, you are my God; I will give praise to you, I will give honour to your name; for you have done great acts of power; your purposes in the past have been made true and certain in effect.
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:25:5 @As heat by the shade of a cloud, the noise of the men of pride has been made quiet by you; as heat by the shade of a cloud, the song of the cruel ones has been stopped.
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:25:10 @For in this mountain will the hand of the Lord come to rest, and Moab will be crushed down in his place, even as the dry stems of the grain are crushed under foot in the waste place.
bbe@Isaiah:26:2 @Let the doors be open, so that the upright nation which keeps faith may come in.
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:26:12 @Lord, you will give us peace: for all our works are the outcome of your purpose.
bbe@Isaiah:26:13 @O Lord, our God, other lords than you have had rule over us; but in you only is our salvation, and no other name will we take on our lips.
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:26:16 @Lord, in trouble our eyes have been turned to you, we sent up a prayer when your punishment was on us.
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:26:19 @Your dead will come back; their dead bodies will come to life again. Those in the dust, awaking from their sleep, will send out a song; for your dew is a dew of light, and the earth will give birth to the shades.
bbe@Isaiah:26:20 @Come, my people, into your secret places, and let your doors be shut: keep yourself safe for a short time, till his wrath is over.
bbe@Isaiah:26:21 @For the Lord is coming out of his place to send punishment on the people of the earth for their evil-doing: the earth will let the blood drained out on her be seen, and will keep her dead covered no longer.
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.
