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:1:7 @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:1:12 @At whose request do you come before me, making my house unclean with your feet?
bbe@Isaiah:1:22 @Your silver is no longer true metal, your wine is mixed with water.
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:2:6 @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:3:7 @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:3:16 @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: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:5:6 @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:5:27 @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:6:6 @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: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:7:20 @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:7:24 @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:8:3 @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:8:8 @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: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:9:12 @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: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:10:29 @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:11:4 @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:11:6 @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:11:15 @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:13:9 @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: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:14:6 @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:14:16 @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:14:19 @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: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: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:16:14 @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:17:2 @Her towns are unpeopled for ever; there the flocks take their rest in peace, without fear.
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: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: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:19:16 @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:19:21 @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: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: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:22:6 @And Elam was armed with arrows, and Aram came on horseback; and the breastplate of Kir was uncovered.
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:22:17 @See, O strong man, the Lord will send you violently away, gripping you with force,
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:23:10 @Let your land be worked with the plough, O daughter of Tarshish; there is no longer any harbour.
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:24:3 @The earth will be completely waste and without men; for this is the word of the Lord.
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: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:27:5 @Or let him put himself under my power, and make peace with me.
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:27:10 @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:27:12 @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:28:8 @For all the tables are covered with coughed-up food, so that there is not a clean place.
bbe@Isaiah:28:11 @No, but with broken talk, and with a strange tongue, he will give his word to this people:
bbe@Isaiah:28:15 @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:28:18 @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:28:27 @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:29:6 @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:29:9 @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:29:12 @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:29:21 @Who give help to a man in a wrong cause, and who put a net for the feet of him who gives decisions in the public place, taking away a man's right without cause.
bbe@Isaiah:29:22 @For this reason the Lord, the saviour of Abraham, says about the family of Jacob, Jacob will not now be put to shame, or his face be clouded with fear.
bbe@Isaiah:30:2 @Who make a move to go down into Egypt, without authority from me; who are looking to the strength of Pharaoh for help, and whose hope is in the shade of Egypt.
bbe@Isaiah:30:5 @For they have all come with offerings to a people of no use to them, in whom is no help or profit, but only shame and a bad name.
bbe@Isaiah:30:14 @And he will let it be broken as a potter's vessel is broken: it will be smashed to bits without mercy; so that there will not be a bit in which one may take fire from the fireplace, or water from the spring.
bbe@Isaiah:30:24 @And the oxen and the young asses which are used for ploughing, will have salted grain which has been made free from the waste with fork and basket.
bbe@Isaiah:30:27 @See, the name of the Lord is coming from far, burning with his wrath, with thick smoke going up: his lips are full of passion, and his tongue is like a burning fire:
bbe@Isaiah:30:29 @You will have a song, as in the night when a holy feast is kept; and you will be glad in heart, as when they go with music of the pipe to the mountain of the Lord, the Rock of Israel.
bbe@Isaiah:30:30 @And the Lord will send out the sound of his great voice, and they will see his arm stretched out, with the heat of his wrath, and the flame of a burning fire; with a cloud-burst, and storm, and a rain of ice.
bbe@Isaiah:30:32 @And every blow of the rod of his punishment, which the Lord will send on him, will be with the sound of music: and with the waving of his sword the Lord will make war against him.
bbe@Isaiah:30:33 @For a place of fire has long been ready; yes, it has been made ready for the king; he has made it deep and wide: it is massed with fire and much wood; the breath of the Lord, like a stream of fire, puts a light to it.
bbe@Isaiah:31:5 @Like birds with outstretched wings, so will the Lord of armies be a cover to Jerusalem; he will be a cover and salvation for it, going over it he will keep it from danger.
bbe@Isaiah:32:11 @Be shaking with fear, you women who are living in comfort; be troubled, you who have no fear of danger: take off your robes and put on clothing of grief.
bbe@Isaiah:32:19 @But the tall trees will come down with a great fall, and the town will be low in a low place.
bbe@Isaiah:33:11 @Your designs will be without profit, and their effect will be nothing: you will be burned up by the fire of my breath.
bbe@Isaiah:33:14 @The sinners in Zion are full of fear; the haters of God are shaking with wonder. Who among us may keep his place before the burning fire? who among us may see the eternal burnings?
bbe@Isaiah:33:21 @But there the Lord will be with us in his glory,... wide rivers and streams; where no boat will go with blades, and no fair ship will be sailing.
bbe@Isaiah:34:2 @For the Lord is angry with all the nations, and his wrath is burning against all their armies: he has put them to the curse, he has given them to destruction.
bbe@Isaiah:34:3 @Their dead bodies will be thick on the face of the earth, and their smell will come up, and the mountains will be flowing with their blood, and all the hills will come to nothing.
bbe@Isaiah:34:6 @The sword of the Lord is full of blood, it is fat with the best of the meat, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the best parts of the sheep: for the Lord has a feast in Bozrah, and much cattle will be put to death in the land of Edom.
bbe@Isaiah:34:7 @And the strong oxen will go down to death together with the smaller cattle.
bbe@Isaiah:34:11 @But the birds of the waste land will have their place there; it will be a heritage for the bittern and the raven: and it will be measured out with line and weight as a waste land.
bbe@Isaiah:34:14 @And the beasts of the waste places will come together with the jackals, and the evil spirits will be crying to one another, even the night-spirit will come and make her resting-place there.
bbe@Isaiah:34:16 @See what is recorded in the book of the Lord: all these will be there, not one without the other: the mouth of the Lord has given the order, and his spirit has made them come together.
bbe@Isaiah:35:10 @Even those whom he has made free, will come back again; they will come with songs to Zion; on their heads will be eternal joy; delight and joy will be theirs, and sorrow and sounds of grief will be gone for ever.
bbe@Isaiah:36:2 @And the king of Assyria sent the Rab-shakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem to King Hezekiah with a strong force, and he took up his position by the stream of the higher pool, by the highway of the washerman's
bbe@Isaiah:36:8 @And now, take a chance with my master, the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses, if you are able to put horsemen on them.
bbe@Isaiah:36:10 @And have I now come to send destruction on this land without the Lord's authority? It was the Lord himself who said to me, Go up against this land and make it waste.
bbe@Isaiah:36:12 @But the Rab-shakeh said, Is it to your master or to you that my master has sent me to say these words? has he not sent me to the men seated on the wall? for they are the people who will be short of food with you when the town is shut in.
bbe@Isaiah:36:13 @Then the Rab-shakeh got up and said with a loud voice in the Jews' language, Give ear to the words of the great king, the king of Assyria:
bbe@Isaiah:36:16 @Do not give ear to Hezekiah, for this is what the king of Assyria says, Make peace with me, and come out to me; and everyone will be free to take the fruit of his vine and of his fig-tree, and the water of his spring;
bbe@Isaiah:36:22 @Then Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, who was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, came to Hezekiah with their clothing parted as a sign of grief, and gave him an account of what the Rab-shakeh had said.
bbe@Isaiah:37:14 @And Hezekiah took the letter from the hands of those who had come with it; and after reading it, Hezekiah went up to the house of the Lord, opening the letter there before the Lord,
bbe@Isaiah:37:24 @You have sent your servants with evil words against the Lord, and have said, With all my war-carriages I have come up to the top of the mountains, to the inmost parts of Lebanon; and its tall cedars will be cut down, and the best trees of its woods: I will come up into his highest places, into his thick woods.
bbe@Isaiah:37:25 @I have made water-holes and taken their waters, and with my foot I have made all the rivers of Egypt dry.
bbe@Isaiah:37:33 @For this cause the Lord says about the king of Assyria, He will not come into this town, or send an arrow against it; he will not come before it with arms, or put up an earthwork against it.
bbe@Isaiah:37:38 @And it came about, when he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer put him to death with the sword, and they went in flight into the land of Ararat. And Esar-haddon, his son, became king in his place.
bbe@Isaiah:38:3 @O Lord, keep in mind how I have been true to you with all my heart, and have done what is good in your eyes. And Hezekiah gave way to bitter weeping.
bbe@Isaiah:38:8 @See, I will make the shade which has gone down on the steps of Ahaz with the sun, go back ten steps. So the shade went back the ten steps by which it had gone down.
bbe@Isaiah:38:13 @I am crying out with pain till the morning; it is as if a lion was crushing all my bones.
bbe@Isaiah:38:14 @I make cries like a bird; I give out sounds of grief like a dove: my eyes are looking up with desire; O Lord, I am crushed, take up my cause.
bbe@Isaiah:38:15 @What am I to say? seeing that it is he who has done it: all my time of sleeping I am turning from side to side without rest.
bbe@Isaiah:39:1 @At that time Merodach-baladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters with an offering to Hezekiah, because he had news that Hezekiah had been ill, and was well again.
bbe@Isaiah:40:9 @You who give good news to Zion, get up into the high mountain; you who give good news to Jerusalem, let your voice be strong; let it be sounding without fear; say to the towns of Judah, See, your God!
bbe@Isaiah:40:10 @See, the Lord God will come as a strong one, ruling in power: see, those made free by him are with him, and those whom he has made safe go before him.
bbe@Isaiah:40:11 @He will give food to his flock like a keeper of sheep; with his arm he will get it together, and will take up the lambs on his breast, gently guiding those which are with young.
bbe@Isaiah:40:16 @And Lebanon is not enough to make a fire with, or all its cattle enough for a burned offering.
bbe@Isaiah:40:18 @Whom then is God like, in your opinion? or what will you put forward as a comparison with him?
bbe@Isaiah:41:3 @He goes after them safely, not touching the road with his feet.
bbe@Isaiah:41:4 @Whose purpose and work was it? His who sent out the generations from the start. I the Lord, the first, and with the last, I am he.
bbe@Isaiah:41:7 @So the metal-worker put heart into the gold-worker, and he who was hammering the metal smooth said kind words to the iron-worker, saying of the plate, It is ready: and he put it together with nails, so that there might be no slipping.
bbe@Isaiah:41:10 @Have no fear, for I am with you; do not be looking about in trouble, for I am your God; I will give you strength, yes, I will be your helper; yes, my true right hand will be your support.
bbe@Isaiah:41:11 @Truly, all those who are angry with you will be made low and put to shame: those desiring to do you wrong will come to nothing and never again be seen.
bbe@Isaiah:41:15 @See, I will make you like a new grain-crushing instrument with teeth, crushing the mountains small, and making the hills like dry stems.
bbe@Isaiah:43:2 @When you go through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not go over you: when you go through the fire, you will not be burned; and the flame will have no power over you.
bbe@Isaiah:43:5 @Have no fear, for I am with you: I will take your seed from the east, and get you together from the west;
bbe@Isaiah:43:17 @Who sends out the war-carriages and the horses, the army with all its force; they have come down, they will not get up again; like a feebly burning light they are put out.
bbe@Isaiah:43:23 @You have not made me burned offerings of sheep, or given me honour with your offerings of beasts; I did not make you servants to give me an offering, and I did not make you tired with requests for perfumes.
bbe@Isaiah:43:24 @You have not got me sweet-smelling plants with your money, or given me pleasure with the fat of your offerings: but you have made me a servant to your sins, and you have made me tired with your evil doings.
bbe@Isaiah:44:12 @The iron-worker is heating the metal in the fire, giving it form with his hammers, and working on it with his strong arm: then for need of food his strength gives way, and for need of water he becomes feeble.
bbe@Isaiah:44:13 @The woodworker is measuring out the wood with his line, marking it out with his pencil: after smoothing it with his plane, and making circles on it with his instrument, he gives it the form and glory of a man, so that it may be placed in the house.
bbe@Isaiah:44:15 @Then it will be used to make a fire, so that a man may get warm; he has the oven heated with it and makes bread: he makes a god with it, to which he gives worship: he makes a pictured image out of it, and goes down on his face before it.
bbe@Isaiah:44:16 @With part of it he makes a fire, and on the fire he gets meat cooked and takes a full meal: he makes himself warm, and says, Aha! I am warm, I have seen the fire:
bbe@Isaiah:44:19 @And no one takes note, no one has enough knowledge or wisdom to say, I have put part of it in the fire, and made bread on it; I have had a meal of the flesh cooked with it: and am I now to make the rest of it into a false god? am I to go down on my face before a bit of wood?
bbe@Isaiah:44:23 @Make a song, O heavens, for the Lord has done it: give a loud cry, you deep parts of the earth: let your voices be loud in song, you mountains, and you woods with all your trees: for the Lord has taken up the cause of Jacob, and will let his glory be seen in Israel.
bbe@Isaiah:44:24 @The Lord, who has taken up your cause, and who gave you life in your mother's body, says, I am the Lord who makes all things; stretching out the heavens by myself, and giving the earth its limits; who was with me?
bbe@Isaiah:45:8 @Let righteousness come down, O heavens, from on high, and let the sky send it down like rain: let the earth be open to give the fruit of salvation, causing righteousness to come up with it; I the Lord have made it come about.
bbe@Isaiah:45:9 @Cursed is he who has an argument with his Maker, the pot which has an argument with the Potter! Will the wet earth say to him who is working with it, What are you doing, that your work has nothing by which it may be gripped?
bbe@Isaiah:45:10 @Cursed is he who says to a father, To what are you giving life? or to a woman, What are you in birth-pains with?
bbe@Isaiah:45:13 @I have sent him out to overcome the nations, and I will make all his ways straight: I will give him the work of building my town, and he will let my prisoners go free, without price or reward, says the Lord of armies.
bbe@Isaiah:45:17 @But the Lord will make Israel free with an eternal salvation: you will not be put to shame or made low for ever and ever.
bbe@Isaiah:45:24 @Only in the Lord will Jacob overcome and be strong: together all those who were angry with him will be put to shame and come to destruction.
bbe@Isaiah:46:5 @Who in your eyes is my equal? or what comparison will you make with me?
bbe@Isaiah:47:3 @The shame of your unclothed condition will be seen by all: I will give punishment without mercy,
bbe@Isaiah:47:5 @Be seated in the dark without a word, O daughter of the Chaldaeans: for you will no longer be named, The Queen of Kingdoms.
bbe@Isaiah:47:6 @I was angry with my people, I put shame on my heritage, and gave them into your hands: you had no mercy on them; you put a cruel yoke on those who were old;
bbe@Isaiah:47:8 @So now take note of this, you who are given up to pleasure, living without fear of evil, saying in your heart, I am, and there is no one like me; I will never be a widow, or have my children taken from me.
bbe@Isaiah:47:11 @Because of this evil will come on you, which may not be turned away for any price: and trouble will overtake you, from which no money will give salvation: destruction will come on you suddenly, without your knowledge.
bbe@Isaiah:47:12 @Go on now with your secret arts, and all your wonder-working, to which you have given yourself up from your earliest days; it may be that they will be of profit to you, or by them you may put fear into your attackers.
bbe@Isaiah:48:14 @Come together, all of you, and give ear; who among you has given news of these things? the Lord's loved one will do his pleasure with Babylon, and with the seed of the Chaldaeans.
bbe@Isaiah:48:20 @Go out of Babylon, go in flight from the Chaldaeans; with the sound of song make it clear, give the news, let the word go out even to the end of the earth: say, The Lord has taken up the cause of his servant Jacob.
bbe@Isaiah:49:15 @Will a woman give up the child at her breast, will she be without pity for the fruit of her body? yes, these may, but I will not let you go out of my memory.
bbe@Isaiah:49:18 @Let your eyes be lifted up round about, and see: they are all coming together to you. By my life, says the Lord, truly you will put them all on you as an ornament, and be clothed with them like a bride.
bbe@Isaiah:49:22 @This is the word of the Lord God: See, I will make a sign with my hand to the nations, and put up my flag for the peoples; and they will take up your sons on their beasts, and your daughters on their backs.
bbe@Isaiah:50:3 @By me the heavens are clothed with black, and I make haircloth their robe.
bbe@Isaiah:50:8 @He who takes up my cause is near; who will go to law with me? let us come together before the judge: who is against me? let him come near to me.
bbe@Isaiah:50:11 @See, all you who make a fire, arming yourselves with burning branches: go in the flame of your fire, and among the branches you have put a light to. This will you have from my hand, you will make your bed in sorrow.
bbe@Isaiah:51:11 @Those whom the Lord has made free will come back with songs to Zion; and on their heads will be eternal joy: delight and joy will be theirs, and sorrow and sounds of grief will be gone for ever.
bbe@Isaiah:51:16 @And I have put my words in your mouth, covering you with the shade of my hand, stretching out the heavens, and placing the earth on its base, and saying to Zion, You are my people.
bbe@Isaiah:51:21 @So now give ear to this, you who are troubled and overcome, but not with wine:
bbe@Isaiah:52:1 @Awake! awake! put on your strength, O Zion; put on your beautiful robes, O Jerusalem, the holy town: for from now there will never again come into you the unclean and those without circumcision.
bbe@Isaiah:52:3 @For the Lord says, You were given for nothing, and you will be made free without price.
bbe@Isaiah:52:4 @For the Lord God says, My people went down at first into Egypt, to get a place for themselves there: and the Assyrian put a cruel yoke on them without cause.
bbe@Isaiah:52:5 @Now then, what have I here? says the Lord, for my people are taken away without cause; they are made waste and give cries of sorrow, says the Lord, and all the day the nations put shame on my name.
bbe@Isaiah:52:7 @How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who comes with good news, who gives word of peace, saying that salvation is near; who says to Zion, Your God is ruling!
bbe@Isaiah:53:9 @And they put his body into the earth with sinners, and his last resting-place was with the evil-doers, though he had done no wrong, and no deceit was in his mouth.
bbe@Isaiah:53:12 @For this cause he will have a heritage with the great, and he will have a part in the goods of war with the strong, because he gave up his life, and was numbered with the evil-doers; taking on himself the sins of the people, and making prayer for the wrongdoers.
bbe@Isaiah:54:1 @Let your voice be loud in song, O woman without children; make melody and sounds of joy, you who did not give birth: for the children of her who had no husband are more than those of the married wife, says the Lord.
bbe@Isaiah:54:2 @Make wide the place of your tent, and let the curtains of your house be stretched out without limit: make your cords long, and your tent-pins strong.
bbe@Isaiah:54:4 @Have no fear; for you will not be shamed or without hope: you will not be put to shame, for the shame of your earlier days will go out of your memory, and you will no longer keep in mind the sorrows of your widowed years.
bbe@Isaiah:54:7 @For a short time I gave you up; but with great mercies I will take you back again.
bbe@Isaiah:54:9 @For this is like the days of Noah to me: for as I took an oath that the waters of Noah would never again go over the earth, so have I taken an oath that I will not again be angry with you, or say bitter words to you.
bbe@Isaiah:55:1 @Ho! everyone in need, come to the waters, and he who has no strength, let him get food: come, get bread without money; wine and milk without price.
bbe@Isaiah:55:3 @Give ear, and come to me, take note with care, so that your souls may have life: and I will make an eternal agreement with you, even the certain mercies of David.
bbe@Isaiah:55:7 @Let the sinner give up his way, and the evil-doer his purpose: and let him come back to the Lord, and he will have mercy on him; and to our God, for there is full forgiveness with him.
bbe@Isaiah:55:11 @So will my word be which goes out of my mouth: it will not come back to me with nothing done, but it will give effect to my purpose, and do that for which I have sent it.
bbe@Isaiah:55:12 @For you will go out with joy, and be guided in peace: the mountains and the hills will make melody before you, and all the trees of the fields will make sounds of joy.
bbe@Isaiah:56:4 @For the Lord says, As for the unsexed who keep my Sabbaths, and give their hearts to pleasing me, and keep their agreement with me:
bbe@Isaiah:56:6 @And as for those from a strange country, who are joined to the Lord, to give worship to him and honour to his name, to be his servants, even everyone who keeps the Sabbath holy, and keeps his agreement with me:
bbe@Isaiah:56:10 @His watchmen are blind, they are all without knowledge; they are all dogs without tongues, unable to make a sound; stretched out dreaming, loving sleep.
bbe@Isaiah:56:11 @Yes, the dogs are for ever looking for food; while these, the keepers of the sheep, are without wisdom: they have all gone after their pleasure, every one looking for profit; they are all the same.
bbe@Isaiah:57:5 @You who are burning with evil desire among the oaks, under every green tree; putting children to death in the valleys, under the cracks of the rocks?
bbe@Isaiah:57:8 @And on the back of the doors and on the pillars you have put your sign: for you have been false to me with another; you have made your bed wide, and made an agreement with them; you had a desire for their bed where you saw it
bbe@Isaiah:57:9 @And you went to Melech with oil and much perfume, and you sent your representatives far off, and went as low as the underworld.
bbe@Isaiah:57:10 @You were tired with your long journeys; but you did not say, There is no hope: you got new strength, and so you were not feeble.
bbe@Isaiah:57:15 @For this is the word of him who is high and lifted up, whose resting-place is eternal, whose name is Holy: my resting-place is in the high and holy place, and with him who is crushed and poor in spirit, to give life to the spirit of the poor, and to make strong the heart of the crushed.
bbe@Isaiah:57:16 @For I will not give punishment for ever, or be angry without end: for from me breath goes out; and I it was who made the souls.
bbe@Isaiah:57:17 @I was quickly angry with his evil ways, and sent punishment on him, veiling my face in wrath: and he went on, turning his heart from me.
bbe@Isaiah:58:4 @If keeping from food makes you quickly angry, ready for fighting and giving blows with evil hands; your holy days are not such as to make your voice come to my ears on high.
bbe@Isaiah:58:13 @If you keep the Sabbath with care, not doing your business on my holy day; and if the Sabbath seems to you a delight, and the new moon of the Lord a thing to be honoured; and if you give respect to him by not doing your business, or going after your pleasure, or saying unholy words;
bbe@Isaiah:59:3 @For your hands are unclean with blood, and your fingers with sin; your lips have said false things, and your tongue gives out deceit.
bbe@Isaiah:59:4 @No one puts forward an upright cause, or gives a true decision: their hope is in deceit, and their words are false; they are with child with sin, and give birth to evil.
bbe@Isaiah:59:12 @For our evil doings are increased before you, and our sins give witness against us: for our evil doings are with us, and we have knowledge of our sins:
bbe@Isaiah:59:21 @And as for me, this is my agreement with them, says the Lord: my spirit which is on you, and my words which I have put in your mouth, will not go away from your mouth, or from the mouth of your seed, or from the mouth of your seed's seed, says the Lord, from now and for ever.
bbe@Isaiah:60:4 @Let your eyes be lifted up, and see: they are all coming together to you: your sons will come from far, and your daughters taken with loving care.
bbe@Isaiah:60:5 @Then you will see, and be bright with joy, and your heart will be shaking with increase of delight: for the produce of the sea will be turned to you, the wealth of the nations will come to you.
bbe@Isaiah:60:6 @You will be full of camel-trains, even the young camels of Midian and Ephah; all from Sheba will come, with gold and spices, giving word of the great acts of the Lord.
bbe@Isaiah:60:9 @Vessels of the sea-lands are waiting for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, so that your sons may come from far, and their silver and gold with them, to the place of the name of the Lord your God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he has made you beautiful.
bbe@Isaiah:60:11 @Your doors will be open at all times; they will not be shut day or night; so that men may come into you with the wealth of the nations, with their kings at their head.
bbe@Isaiah:60:14 @And the sons of those who were cruel to you will come before you with bent heads; and those who made sport of you will go down on their faces at your feet; and you will be named, The Town of the Lord, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
bbe@Isaiah:61:6 @But you will be named the priests of the Lord, the servants of our God: you will have the wealth of the nations for your food, and you will be clothed with their glory.
bbe@Isaiah:61:8 @For I, the Lord, take pleasure in upright judging; I will not put up with the violent taking away of right; and I will certainly give them their reward, and I will make an eternal agreement with them.
bbe@Isaiah:61:10 @I will be full of joy in the Lord, my soul will be glad in my God; for he has put on me the clothing of salvation, covering me with the robe of righteousness, as the husband puts on a fair head-dress, and the bride makes herself beautiful with jewels.
bbe@Isaiah:62:11 @The Lord has sent out word to the end of the earth, Say to the daughter of Zion, See, your saviour comes; those whom he has made free are with him, and those to whom he has given salvation go before him.
bbe@Isaiah:63:1 @Who is this who comes from Edom, with blood-red robes from Bozrah? he whose clothing is fair, stepping with pride in his great strength? I whose glory is in the right, strong for salvation.
bbe@Isaiah:63:3 @I have been crushing the grapes by myself, and of the peoples there was no man with me: in my wrath and in my passion, they were crushed under my feet; and my robes are marked with their life-blood, and all my clothing is red.
bbe@Isaiah:63:14 @Like the cattle which go down into the valley, they went without falling, the spirit of the Lord guiding them: so you went before your people, to make yourself a great name.
bbe@Isaiah:64:11 @Our holy and beautiful house, where our fathers gave praise to you, is burned with fire; and all the things of our desire have come to destruction.
bbe@Isaiah:65:23 @Their work will not be for nothing, and they will not give birth to children for destruction; for they are a seed to whom the Lord has given his blessing, and their offspring will be with them.
bbe@Isaiah:66:10 @Have joy with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all you her lovers: take part in her joy, all you who are sorrowing for her:
bbe@Isaiah:66:11 @So that you may take of the comfort flowing from her breasts, and be delighted with the full measure of her glory.
bbe@Isaiah:66:15 @For the Lord is coming with fire, and his war-carriages will be like the storm-wind; to give punishment in the heat of his wrath, and his passion is like flames of fire.
bbe@Isaiah:66:16 @For with fire and sword will the Lord come, judging all the earth, and his sword will be on all flesh: and great numbers will be put to death by him.
bbe@Jeremiah:1:8 @Have no fear because of them: for I am
