nasb@Isaiah:1:5 @Where will you be stricken again, As you continue in your rebellion? The whole head is sick And the whole heart is faint.

nasb@Isaiah:1:7 @Your land is desolate, Your cities are burned with fire, Your fields--strangers are devouring them in your presence; It is desolation, as overthrown by strangers.

nasb@Isaiah:1:10 @Hear the word of the LORD, You rulers of Sodom; Give ear to the instruction of our God, You people of Gomorrah.

nasb@Isaiah:1:11" @ What are your multiplied sacrifices to Me?" Says the LORD. "I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams And the fat of fed cattle; And I take no pleasure in the blood of bulls, lambs or goats.

nasb@Isaiah:1:12" @When you come to appear before Me, Who requires of you this trampling of My courts?

nasb@Isaiah:1:13" @Bring your worthless offerings no longer, Incense is an abomination to Me. New moon and sabbath, the calling of assemblies-- I cannot endure iniquity and the solemn assembly.

nasb@Isaiah:1:14" @I hate your new moon festivals and your appointed feasts, They have become a burden to Me; I am weary of bearing them.

nasb@Isaiah:1:15" @So when you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide My eyes from you; Yes, even though you multiply prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are covered with blood.

nasb@Isaiah:1:16" @ Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; Remove the evil of your deeds from My sight. Cease to do evil,

nasb@Isaiah:1:18" @Come now, and let us reason together," Says the LORD, " Though your sins are as scarlet, They will be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They will be like wool.

nasb@Isaiah:1:19" @ If you consent and obey, You will eat the best of the land;

nasb@Isaiah:1:20" @But if you refuse and rebel, You will be devoured by the sword." Truly, the mouth of the LORD has spoken.

nasb@Isaiah:1:22 @Your silver has become dross, Your drink diluted with water.

nasb@Isaiah:1:23 @Your rulers are rebels And companions of thieves; Everyone loves a bribe And chases after rewards. They do not defend the orphan, Nor does the widow's plea come before them.

nasb@Isaiah:1:25" @I will also turn My hand against you, And will smelt away your dross as with lye And will remove all your alloy.

nasb@Isaiah:1:26" @Then I will restore your judges as at the first, And your counselors as at the beginning; After that you will be called the city of righteousness, A faithful city."

nasb@Isaiah:1:29 @Surely you will be ashamed of the oaks which you have desired, And you will be embarrassed at the gardens which you have chosen.

nasb@Isaiah:1:30 @For you will be like an oak whose leaf fades away Or as a garden that has no water.

nasb@Isaiah:2:6 @For You have abandoned Your people, the house of Jacob, Because they are filled with influences from the east, And they are soothsayers like the Philistines, And they strike bargains with the children of foreigners.

nasb@Isaiah:3:5 @And the people will be oppressed, Each one by another, and each one by his neighbor; The youth will storm against the elder And the inferior against the honorable.

nasb@Isaiah:3:6 @When a man lays hold of his brother in his father's house, saying, "You have a cloak, you shall be our ruler, And these ruins will be under your charge,"

nasb@Isaiah:3:7 @He will protest on that day, saying, "I will not be your healer, For in my house there is neither bread nor cloak; You should not appoint me ruler of the people."

nasb@Isaiah:3:12 @O My people! Their oppressors are children, And women rule over them. O My people! Those who guide you lead you astray And confuse the direction of your paths.

nasb@Isaiah:3:14 @The LORD enters into judgment with the elders and princes of His people, "It is you who have devoured the vineyard; The plunder of the poor is in your houses.

nasb@Isaiah:3:15" @What do you mean by crushing My people And grinding the face of the poor?" Declares the Lord GOD of hosts.

nasb@Isaiah:3:25 @Your men will fall by the sword And your mighty ones in battle.

nasb@Isaiah:4:1 @For seven women will take hold of one man in that day, saying, "We will eat our own bread and wear our own clothes, only let us be called by your name; take away our reproach!"

nasb@Isaiah:5:5" @So now let Me tell you what I am going to do to My vineyard- I will remove its hedge and it will be consumed; I will break down its wall and it will become trampled ground.

nasb@Isaiah:5:8 @Woe to those who add house to house and join field to field, Until there is no more room, So that you have to live alone in the midst of the land!

nasb@Isaiah:5:29 @Its roaring is like a lioness, and it roars like young lions; It growls as it seizes the prey And carries it off with no one to deliver it.

nasb@Isaiah:6:7 @He touched my mouth with it and said, "Behold, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away and your sin is forgiven."

nasb@Isaiah:7:3 @Then the LORD said to Isaiah, "Go out now to meet Ahaz, you and your son Shear-jashub, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, on the highway to the fuller's field,

nasb@Isaiah:7:5 @'Because Aram, with Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, has planned evil against you, saying,

nasb@Isaiah:7:9 @and the head of Ephraim is Samaria and the head of Samaria is the son of Remaliah. If you will not believe, you surely shall not last."'"

nasb@Isaiah:7:11" @Ask a sign for yourself from the LORD your God; make it deep as Sheol or high as heaven."

nasb@Isaiah:7:13 @Then he said, "Listen now, O house of David! Is it too slight a thing for you to try the patience of men, that you will try the patience of my God as well?

nasb@Isaiah:7:14" @Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign- Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel.

nasb@Isaiah:7:16" @ For before the boy will know enough to refuse evil and choose good, the land whose two kings you dread will be forsaken.

nasb@Isaiah:7:17" @The LORD will bring on you, on your people, and on your father's house such days as have never come since the day that Ephraim separated from Judah, the king of Assyria."

nasb@Isaiah:7:25 @As for all the hills which used to be cultivated with the hoe, you will not go there for fear of briars and thorns; but they will become a place for pasturing oxen and for sheep to trample.

nasb@Isaiah:7:8 @Then the LORD said to me, "Take for yourself a large tablet and write on it in ordinary letters- Swift is the booty, speedy is the prey.

nasb@Isaiah:7:8" @Then it will sweep on into Judah, it will overflow and pass through, It will reach even to the neck; And the spread of its wings will fill the breadth of your land, O Immanuel.

nasb@Isaiah:7:9" @ Be broken, O peoples, and be shattered; And give ear, all remote places of the earth. Gird yourselves, yet be shattered; Gird yourselves, yet be shattered.

nasb@Isaiah:7:12" @You are not to say, 'It is a conspiracy!' In regard to all that this people call a conspiracy, And you are not to fear what they fear or be in dread of it.

nasb@Isaiah:7:13" @It is the LORD of hosts whom you should regard as holy. And He shall be your fear, And He shall be your dread.

nasb@Isaiah:7:19 @When they say to you, " Consult the mediums and the spiritists who whisper and mutter," should not a people consult their God? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living?

nasb@Isaiah:8:3 @You shall multiply the nation, You shall increase their gladness; They will be glad in Your presence As with the gladness of harvest, As men rejoice when they divide the spoil.

nasb@Isaiah:8:4 @For You shall break the yoke of their burden and the staff on their shoulders, The rod of their oppressor, as at the battle of Midian.

nasb@Isaiah:8:17 @Therefore the Lord does not take pleasure in their young men, Nor does He have pity on their orphans or their widows; For every one of them is godless and an evildoer, And every mouth is speaking foolishness. In spite of all this, His anger does not turn away And His hand is still stretched out.

nasb@Isaiah:9:3 @Now what will you do in the day of punishment, And in the devastation which will come from afar? To whom will you flee for help? And where will you leave your wealth?

nasb@Isaiah:9:22 @For though your people, O Israel, may be like the sand of the sea, Only a remnant within them will return; A destruction is determined, overflowing with righteousness.

nasb@Isaiah:9:24 @Therefore thus says the Lord GOD of hosts, "O My people who dwell in Zion, do not fear the Assyrian who strikes you with the rod and lifts up his staff against you, the way Egypt did.

nasb@Isaiah:9:25" @For in a very little while My indignation against you will be spent and My anger will be directed to their destruction."

nasb@Isaiah:9:27 @So it will be in that day, that his burden will be removed from your shoulders and his yoke from your neck, and the yoke will be broken because of fatness.

nasb@Isaiah:9:30 @Cry aloud with your voice, O daughter of Gallim! Pay attention, Laishah and wretched Anathoth!

nasb@Isaiah:10:6 @And the wolf will dwell with the lamb, And the leopard will lie down with the young goat, And the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; And a little boy will lead them.

nasb@Isaiah:10:7 @Also the cow and the bear will graze, Their young will lie down together, And the lion will eat straw like the ox.

nasb@Isaiah:10:12 @Then you will say on that day, " I will give thanks to You, O LORD; For although You were angry with me, Your anger is turned away, And You comfort me.

nasb@Isaiah:10:3 @Therefore you will joyously draw water From the springs of salvation.

nasb@Isaiah:10:4 @And in that day you will say, " Give thanks to the LORD, call on His name. Make known His deeds among the peoples; Make them remember that His name is exalted."

nasb@Isaiah:10:6 @Cry aloud and shout for joy, O inhabitant of Zion, For great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel.

nasb@Isaiah:11:2 @Lift up a standard on the bare hill, Raise your voice to them, Wave the hand that they may enter the doors of the nobles.

nasb@Isaiah:11:18 @And their bows will mow down the young men, They will not even have compassion on the fruit of the womb, Nor will their eye pity children.

nasb@Isaiah:12:3 @And it will be in the day when the LORD gives you rest from your pain and turmoil and harsh service in which you have been enslaved,

nasb@Isaiah:12:4 @that you will take up this taunt against the king of Babylon, and say, "How the oppressor has ceased, And how fury has ceased!

nasb@Isaiah:12:8" @Even the cypress trees rejoice over you, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, 'Since you were laid low, no tree cutter comes up against us.'

nasb@Isaiah:12:9" @ Sheol from beneath is excited over you to meet you when you come; It arouses for you the spirits of the dead, all the leaders of the earth; It raises all the kings of the nations from their thrones.

nasb@Isaiah:12:10" @ They will all respond and say to you, 'Even you have been made weak as we, You have become like us.

nasb@Isaiah:12:11 @'Your pomp and the music of your harps Have been brought down to Sheol; Maggots are spread out as your bed beneath you And worms are your covering.'

nasb@Isaiah:12:12" @How you have fallen from heaven, O star of the morning, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the earth, You who have weakened the nations!

nasb@Isaiah:12:13" @But you said in your heart, 'I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, And I will sit on the mount of assembly In the recesses of the north.

nasb@Isaiah:12:15" @Nevertheless you will be thrust down to Sheol, To the recesses of the pit.

nasb@Isaiah:12:16" @Those who see you will gaze at you, They will ponder over you, saying, 'Is this the man who made the earth tremble, Who shook kingdoms,

nasb@Isaiah:12:19" @But you have been cast out of your tomb Like a rejected branch, Clothed with the slain who are pierced with a sword, Who go down to the stones of the pit Like a trampled corpse.

nasb@Isaiah:12:20" @You will not be united with them in burial, Because you have ruined your country, You have slain your people. May the offspring of evildoers not be mentioned forever.

nasb@Isaiah:12:29" @Do not rejoice, O Philistia, all of you, Because the rod that struck you is broken; For from the serpent's root a viper will come out, And its fruit will be a flying serpent.

nasb@Isaiah:12:30" @Those who are most helpless will eat, And the needy will lie down in security; I will destroy your root with famine, And it will kill off your survivors.

nasb@Isaiah:12:31" @Wail, O gate; cry, O city; Melt away, O Philistia, all of you; For smoke comes from the north, And there is no straggler in his ranks.

nasb@Isaiah:14:3" @Give us advice, make a decision; Cast your shadow like night at high noon; Hide the outcasts, do not betray the fugitive.

nasb@Isaiah:14:4" @Let the outcasts of Moab stay with you; Be a hiding place to them from the destroyer." For the extortioner has come to an end, destruction has ceased, Oppressors have completely disappeared from the land.

nasb@Isaiah:14:7 @Therefore Moab will wail; everyone of Moab will wail. You will moan for the raisin cakes of Kir-hareseth As those who are utterly stricken.

nasb@Isaiah:14:9 @Therefore I will weep bitterly for Jazer, for the vine of Sibmah; I will drench you with my tears, O Heshbon and Elealeh; For the shouting over your summer fruits and your harvest has fallen away.

nasb@Isaiah:14:10 @For you have forgotten the God of your salvation And have not remembered the rock of your refuge. Therefore you plant delightful plants And set them with vine slips of a strange god.

nasb@Isaiah:14:11 @In the day that you plant it you carefully fence it in, And in the morning you bring your seed to blossom; But the harvest will be a heap In a day of sickliness and incurable pain.

nasb@Isaiah:15:3 @All you inhabitants of the world and dwellers on earth, As soon as a standard is raised on the mountains, you will see it, And as soon as the trumpet is blown, you will hear it.

nasb@Isaiah:15:11 @The princes of Zoan are mere fools; The advice of Pharaoh's wisest advisers has become stupid. How can you men say to Pharaoh, "I am a son of the wise, a son of ancient kings"?

nasb@Isaiah:15:12 @Well then, where are your wise men? Please let them tell you, And let them understand what the LORD of hosts Has purposed against Egypt.

nasb@Isaiah:16:2 @at that time the LORD spoke through Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, "Go and loosen the sackcloth from your hips and take your shoes off your feet." And he did so, going naked and barefoot.

nasb@Isaiah:16:4 @so the king of Assyria will lead away the captives of Egypt and the exiles of Cush, young and old, naked and barefoot with buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.

nasb@Isaiah:17:10 @O my threshed people, and my afflicted of the threshing floor! What I have heard from the LORD of hosts, The God of Israel, I make known to you.

nasb@Isaiah:17:12 @The watchman says, "Morning comes but also night. If you would inquire, inquire; Come back again."

nasb@Isaiah:17:13 @The oracle about Arabia. In the thickets of Arabia you must spend the night, O caravans of Dedanites.

nasb@Isaiah:18:1 @The oracle concerning the valley of vision. What is the matter with you now, that you have all gone up to the housetops?

nasb@Isaiah:18:2 @You who were full of noise, You boisterous town, you exultant city; Your slain were not slain with the sword, Nor did they die in battle.

nasb@Isaiah:18:3 @All your rulers have fled together, And have been captured without the bow; All of you who were found were taken captive together, Though they had fled far away.

nasb@Isaiah:18:4 @Therefore I say, "Turn your eyes away from me, Let me weep bitterly, Do not try to comfort me concerning the destruction of the daughter of my people."

nasb@Isaiah:18:7 @Then your choicest valleys were full of chariots, And the horsemen took up fixed positions at the gate.

nasb@Isaiah:18:8 @And He removed the defense of Judah. In that day you depended on the weapons of the house of the forest,

nasb@Isaiah:18:9 @And you saw that the breaches In the wall of the city of David were many; And you collected the waters of the lower pool.

nasb@Isaiah:18:10 @Then you counted the houses of Jerusalem And tore down houses to fortify the wall.

nasb@Isaiah:18:11 @And you made a reservoir between the two walls For the waters of the old pool. But you did not depend on Him who made it, Nor did you take into consideration Him who planned it long ago.

nasb@Isaiah:18:12 @Therefore in that day the Lord GOD of hosts called you to weeping, to wailing, To shaving the head and to wearing sackcloth.

nasb@Isaiah:18:14 @But the LORD of hosts revealed Himself to me, "Surely this iniquity shall not be forgiven you Until you die," says the Lord GOD of hosts.

nasb@Isaiah:18:16 @'What right do you have here, And whom do you have here, That you have hewn a tomb for yourself here, You who hew a tomb on the height, You who carve a resting place for yourself in the rock?

nasb@Isaiah:18:17 @'Behold, the LORD is about to hurl you headlong, O man. And He is about to grasp you firmly

nasb@Isaiah:18:18 @And roll you tightly like a ball, To be cast into a vast country; There you will die And there your splendid chariots will be, You shame of your master's house.'

nasb@Isaiah:18:19" @I will depose you from your office, And I will pull you down from your station.

nasb@Isaiah:18:21 @And I will clothe him with your tunic And tie your sash securely about him. I will entrust him with your authority, And he will become a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.

nasb@Isaiah:19:2 @Be silent, you inhabitants of the coastland, You merchants of Sidon; Your messengers crossed the sea

nasb@Isaiah:19:4 @Be ashamed, O Sidon; For the sea speaks, the stronghold of the sea, saying, "I have neither travailed nor given birth, I have neither brought up young men nor reared virgins."

nasb@Isaiah:19:7 @Is this your jubilant city, Whose origin is from antiquity, Whose feet used to carry her to colonize distant places?

nasb@Isaiah:19:10 @Overflow your land like the Nile, O daughter of Tarshish, There is no more restraint.

nasb@Isaiah:19:12 @He has said, " You shall exult no more, O crushed virgin daughter of Sidon. Arise, pass over to Cyprus; even there you will find no rest."

nasb@Isaiah:19:14 @Wail, O ships of Tarshish, For your stronghold is destroyed.

nasb@Isaiah:19:16 @Take your harp, walk about the city, O forgotten harlot; Pluck the strings skillfully, sing many songs, That you may be remembered.

nasb@Isaiah:20:17 @Terror and pit and snare Confront you, O inhabitant of the earth.

nasb@Isaiah:21:1 @O LORD, You are my God; I will exalt You, I will give thanks to Your name; For You have worked wonders, Plans formed long ago, with perfect faithfulness.

nasb@Isaiah:21:2 @For You have made a city into a heap, A fortified city into a ruin; A palace of strangers is a city no more, It will never be rebuilt.

nasb@Isaiah:21:3 @Therefore a strong people will glorify You; Cities of ruthless nations will revere You.

nasb@Isaiah:21:4 @For You have been a defense for the helpless, A defense for the needy in his distress, A refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat; For the breath of the ruthless Is like a rain storm against a wall.

nasb@Isaiah:21:5 @Like heat in drought, You subdue the uproar of aliens; Like heat by the shadow of a cloud, the song of the ruthless is silenced.

nasb@Isaiah:21:12 @The unassailable fortifications of your walls He will bring down, Lay low and cast to the ground, even to the dust.

nasb@Isaiah:21:3" @The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect peace, Because he trusts in You.

nasb@Isaiah:21:8 @Indeed, while following the way of Your judgments, O LORD, We have waited for You eagerly; Your name, even Your memory, is the desire of our souls.

nasb@Isaiah:21:9 @At night my soul longs for You, Indeed, my spirit within me seeks You diligently; For when the earth experiences Your judgments The inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.

nasb@Isaiah:21:11 @O LORD, Your hand is lifted up yet they do not see it. They see Your zeal for the people and are put to shame; Indeed, fire will devour Your enemies.

nasb@Isaiah:21:12 @LORD, You will establish peace for us, Since You have also performed for us all our works.

nasb@Isaiah:21:13 @O LORD our God, other masters besides You have ruled us; But through You alone we confess Your name.

nasb@Isaiah:21:14 @The dead will not live, the departed spirits will not rise; Therefore You have punished and destroyed them, And You have wiped out all remembrance of them.

nasb@Isaiah:21:15 @You have increased the nation, O LORD, You have increased the nation, You are glorified; You have extended all the borders of the land.

nasb@Isaiah:21:16 @O LORD, they sought You in distress; They could only whisper a prayer, Your chastening was upon them.

nasb@Isaiah:21:17 @As the pregnant woman approaches the time to give birth, She writhes and cries out in her labor pains, Thus were we before You, O LORD.

nasb@Isaiah:21:19 @Your dead will live; Their corpses will rise. You who lie in the dust, awake and shout for joy, For your dew is as the dew of the dawn, And the earth will give birth to the departed spirits.

nasb@Isaiah:21:20 @Come, my people, enter into your rooms And close your doors behind you; Hide for a little while Until indignation runs its course.

nasb@Isaiah:22:8 @You contended with them by banishing them, by driving them away. With His fierce wind He has expelled them on the day of the east wind.

nasb@Isaiah:22:12 @In that day the LORD will start His threshing from the flowing stream of the Euphrates to the brook of Egypt, and you will be gathered up one by one, O sons of Israel.

nasb@Isaiah:23:15 @Because you have said, "We have made a covenant with death, And with Sheol we have made a pact. The overwhelming scourge will not reach us when it passes by, For we have made falsehood our refuge and we have concealed ourselves with deception."

nasb@Isaiah:23:18" @Your covenant with death will be canceled, And your pact with Sheol will not stand; When the overwhelming scourge passes through, Then you become its trampling place.

nasb@Isaiah:23:19" @As often as it passes through, it will seize you; For morning after morning it will pass through, anytime during the day or night, And it will be sheer terror to understand what it means."

nasb@Isaiah:23:22 @And now do not carry on as scoffers, Or your fetters will be made stronger; For I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts Of decisive destruction on all the earth.

nasb@Isaiah:24:1 @Woe, O Ariel, Ariel the city where David once camped! Add year to year, observe your feasts on schedule.

nasb@Isaiah:24:3 @I will camp against you encircling you, And I will set siegeworks against you, And I will raise up battle towers against you.

nasb@Isaiah:24:4 @Then you will be brought low; From the earth you will speak, And from the dust where you are prostrate Your words will come. Your voice will also be like that of a spirit from the ground, And your speech will whisper from the dust.

nasb@Isaiah:24:5 @But the multitude of your enemies will become like fine dust, And the multitude of the ruthless ones like the chaff which blows away; And it will happen instantly, suddenly.

nasb@Isaiah:24:6 @From the LORD of hosts you will be punished with thunder and earthquake and loud noise, With whirlwind and tempest and the flame of a consuming fire.

nasb@Isaiah:24:9 @Be delayed and wait, Blind yourselves and be blind; They become drunk, but not with wine, They stagger, but not with strong drink.

nasb@Isaiah:24:10 @For the LORD has poured over you a spirit of deep sleep, He has shut your eyes, the prophets; And He has covered your heads, the seers.

nasb@Isaiah:24:11 @The entire vision will be to you like the words of a sealed book, which when they give it to the one who is literate, saying, "Please read this," he will say, "I cannot, for it is sealed."

nasb@Isaiah:24:16 @You turn things around! Shall the potter be considered as equal with the clay, That what is made would say to its maker, "He did not make me"; Or what is formed say to him who formed it, "He has no understanding"?

nasb@Isaiah:25:3" @Therefore the safety of Pharaoh will be your shame And the shelter in the shadow of Egypt, your humiliation.

nasb@Isaiah:25:6 @The oracle concerning the beasts of the Negev. Through a land of distress and anguish, From where come lioness and lion, viper and flying serpent, They carry their riches on the backs of young donkeys And their treasures on camels' humps, To a people who cannot profit them;

nasb@Isaiah:25:10 @Who say to the seers, "You must not see visions"; And to the prophets, "You must not prophesy to us what is right, Speak to us pleasant words, Prophesy illusions.

nasb@Isaiah:25:12 @Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel, " Since you have rejected this word And have put your trust in oppression and guile, and have relied on them,

nasb@Isaiah:25:13 @Therefore this iniquity will be to you Like a breach about to fall, A bulge in a high wall, Whose collapse comes suddenly in an instant,

nasb@Isaiah:25:15 @For thus the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel, has said, "In repentance and rest you will be saved, In quietness and trust is your strength." But you were not willing,

nasb@Isaiah:25:16 @And you said, "No, for we will flee on horses," Therefore you shall flee! "And we will ride on swift horses," Therefore those who pursue you shall be swift.

nasb@Isaiah:25:17 @One thousand will flee at the threat of one man; You will flee at the threat of five, Until you are left as a flag on a mountain top And as a signal on a hill.

nasb@Isaiah:25:18 @Therefore the LORD longs to be gracious to you, And therefore He waits on high to have compassion on you. For the LORD is a God of justice; How blessed are all those who long for Him.

nasb@Isaiah:25:19 @O people in Zion, inhabitant in Jerusalem, you will weep no longer. He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry; when He hears it, He will answer you.

nasb@Isaiah:25:20 @Although the Lord has given you bread of privation and water of oppression, He, your Teacher will no longer hide Himself, but your eyes will behold your Teacher.

nasb@Isaiah:25:21 @Your ears will hear a word behind you, "This is the way, walk in it," whenever you turn to the right or to the left.

nasb@Isaiah:25:22 @And you will defile your graven images overlaid with silver, and your molten images plated with gold. You will scatter them as an impure thing, and say to them, " Be gone!"

nasb@Isaiah:25:23 @Then He will give you rain for the seed which you will sow in the ground, and bread from the yield of the ground, and it will be rich and plenteous; on that day your livestock will graze in a roomy pasture.

nasb@Isaiah:25:29 @You will have songs as in the night when you keep the festival, And gladness of heart as when one marches to the sound of the flute, To go to the mountain of the LORD, to the Rock of Israel.

nasb@Isaiah:26:4 @For thus says the LORD to me, "As the lion or the young lion growls over his prey, Against which a band of shepherds is called out, And he will not be terrified at their voice nor disturbed at their noise, So will the LORD of hosts come down to wage war on Mount Zion and on its hill."

nasb@Isaiah:26:6 @Return to Him from whom you have deeply defected, O sons of Israel.

nasb@Isaiah:26:7 @For in that day every man will cast away his silver idols and his gold idols, which your sinful hands have made for you as a sin.

nasb@Isaiah:26:8 @And the Assyrian will fall by a sword not of man, And a sword not of man will devour him. So he will not escape the sword, And his young men will become forced laborers.

nasb@Isaiah:27:9 @Rise up, you women who are at ease, And hear my voice; Give ear to my word, You complacent daughters.

nasb@Ezekiel:2:6" @And you, son of man, neither fear them nor fear their words, though thistles and thorns are with you and you sit on scorpions; neither fear their words nor be dismayed at their presence, for they are a rebellious house.

nasb@Ezekiel:2:7" @But you shall speak My words to them whether they listen or not, for they are rebellious.

nasb@Ezekiel:2:8" @Now you, son of man, listen to what I am speaking to you; do not be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth and eat what I am giving you."

nasb@Ezekiel:3:1 @Then He said to me, "Son of man, eat what you find; eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel."

nasb@Ezekiel:3:3 @He said to me, "Son of man, feed your stomach and fill your body with this scroll which I am giving you." Then I ate it, and it was sweet as honey in my mouth.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:5" @For you are not being sent to a people of unintelligible speech or difficult language, but to the house of Israel,

nasb@Ezekiel:3:6 @nor to many peoples of unintelligible speech or difficult language, whose words you cannot understand. But I have sent you to them who should listen to you;

nasb@Ezekiel:3:7 @yet the house of Israel will not be willing to listen to you, since they are not willing to listen to Me. Surely the whole house of Israel is stubborn and obstinate.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:8" @Behold, I have made your face as hard as their faces and your forehead as hard as their foreheads.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:9" @Like emery harder than flint I have made your forehead. Do not be afraid of them or be dismayed before them, though they are a rebellious house."

nasb@Ezekiel:3:11" @Go to the exiles, to the sons of your people, and speak to them and tell them, whether they listen or not, 'Thus says the Lord GOD.'"

nasb@Ezekiel:3:17" @Son of man, I have appointed you a watchman to the house of Israel; whenever you hear a word from My mouth, warn them from Me.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:18" @When I say to the wicked, 'You will surely die,' and you do not warn him or speak out to warn the wicked from his wicked way that he may live, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:19" @Yet if you have warned the wicked and he does not turn from his wickedness or from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered yourself.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:20" @Again, when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I place an obstacle before him, he will die; since you have not warned him, he shall die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood I will require at your hand.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:21" @However, if you have warned the righteous man that the righteous should not sin and he does not sin, he shall surely live because he took warning; and you have delivered yourself."

nasb@Ezekiel:3:22 @The hand of the LORD was on me there, and He said to me, "Get up, go out to the plain, and there I will speak to you."

nasb@Ezekiel:3:24 @The Spirit then entered me and made me stand on my feet, and He spoke with me and said to me, "Go, shut yourself up in your house.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:25" @As for you, son of man, they will put ropes on you and bind you with them so that you cannot go out among them.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:26" @Moreover, I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth so that you will be mute and cannot be a man who rebukes them, for they are a rebellious house.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:27" @But when I speak to you, I will open your mouth and you will say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD.' He who hears, let him hear; and he who refuses, let him refuse; for they are a rebellious house.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:4" @Now you son of man, get yourself a brick, place it before you and inscribe a city on it, Jerusalem.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:3" @Then get yourself an iron plate and set it up as an iron wall between you and the city, and set your face toward it so that it is under siege, and besiege it. This is a sign to the house of Israel.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:4" @As for you, lie down on your left side and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel on it; you shall bear their iniquity for the number of days that you lie on it.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:5" @For I have assigned you a number of days corresponding to the years of their iniquity, three hundred and ninety days; thus you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:6" @When you have completed these, you shall lie down a second time, but on your right side and bear the iniquity of the house of Judah; I have assigned it to you for forty days, a day for each year.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:7" @Then you shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem with your arm bared and prophesy against it.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:8" @Now behold, I will put ropes on you so that you cannot turn from one side to the other until you have completed the days of your siege.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:9" @But as for you, take wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet and spelt, put them in one vessel and make them into bread for yourself; you shall eat it according to the number of the days that you lie on your side, three hundred and ninety days.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:10" @Your food which you eat shall be twenty shekels a day by weight; you shall eat it from time to time.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:11" @The water you drink shall be the sixth part of a hin by measure; you shall drink it from time to time.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:12" @You shall eat it as a barley cake, having baked it in their sight over human dung."

nasb@Ezekiel:3:14 @But I said, " Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I have never been defiled; for from my youth until now I have never eaten what died of itself or was torn by beasts, nor has any unclean meat ever entered my mouth."

nasb@Ezekiel:3:15 @Then He said to me, "See, I will give you cow's dung in place of human dung over which you will prepare your bread."

nasb@Ezekiel:3:5" @As for you, son of man, take a sharp sword; take and use it as a barber's razor on your head and beard. Then take scales for weighing and divide the hair.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:2" @One third you shall burn in the fire at the center of the city, when the days of the siege are completed. Then you shall take one third and strike it with the sword all around the city, and one third you shall scatter to the wind; and I will unsheathe a sword behind them.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:3" @Take also a few in number from them and bind them in the edges of your robes.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:7" @Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD, 'Because you have more turmoil than the nations which surround you and have not walked in My statutes, nor observed My ordinances, nor observed the ordinances of the nations which surround you,'

nasb@Ezekiel:3:8 @therefore, thus says the Lord GOD, 'Behold, I, even I, am against you, and I will execute judgments among you in the sight of the nations.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:9 @'And because of all your abominations, I will do among you what I have not done, and the like of which I will never do again.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:10 @'Therefore, fathers will eat their sons among you, and sons will eat their fathers; for I will execute judgments on you and scatter all your remnant to every wind.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:11 @'So as I live,' declares the Lord GOD, 'surely, because you have defiled My sanctuary with all your detestable idols and with all your abominations, therefore I will also withdraw, and My eye will have no pity and I will not spare.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:12 @'One third of you will die by plague or be consumed by famine among you, one third will fall by the sword around you, and one third I will scatter to every wind, and I will unsheathe a sword behind them.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:14 @'Moreover, I will make you a desolation and a reproach among the nations which surround you, in the sight of all who pass by.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:15 @'So it will be a reproach, a reviling, a warning and an object of horror to the nations who surround you when I execute judgments against you in anger, wrath and raging rebukes. I, the LORD, have spoken.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:16 @'When I send against them the deadly arrows of famine which were for the destruction of those whom I will send to destroy you, then I will also intensify the famine upon you and break the staff of bread.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:17 @'Moreover, I will send on you famine and wild beasts, and they will bereave you of children; plague and bloodshed also will pass through you, and I will bring the sword on you. I, the LORD, have spoken.'"

nasb@Ezekiel:3:2" @Son of man, set your face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them

nasb@Ezekiel:3:3 @and say, 'Mountains of Israel, listen to the word of the Lord GOD! Thus says the Lord GOD to the mountains, the hills, the ravines and the valleys- "Behold, I Myself am going to bring a sword on you, and I will destroy your high places.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:4" @So your altars will become desolate and your incense altars will be smashed; and I will make your slain fall in front of your idols.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:5" @I will also lay the dead bodies of the sons of Israel in front of their idols; and I will scatter your bones around your altars.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:6" @In all your dwellings, cities will become waste and the high places will be desolate, that your altars may become waste and desolate, your idols may be broken and brought to an end, your incense altars may be cut down, and your works may be blotted out.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:7" @The slain will fall among you, and you will know that I am the LORD.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:8" @However, I will leave a remnant, for you will have those who escaped the sword among the nations when you are scattered among the countries.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:9" @Then those of you who escape will remember Me among the nations to which they will be carried captive, how I have been hurt by their adulterous hearts which turned away from Me, and by their eyes which played the harlot after their idols; and they will loathe themselves in their own sight for the evils which they have committed, for all their abominations.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:11" @Thus says the Lord GOD, 'Clap your hand, stamp your foot and say, " Alas, because of all the evil abominations of the house of Israel, which will fall by sword, famine and plague!

nasb@Ezekiel:3:13" @Then you will know that I am the LORD, when their slain are among their idols around their altars, on every high hill, on all the tops of the mountains, under every green tree and under every leafy oak--the places where they offered soothing aroma to all their idols.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:2" @And you, son of man, thus says the Lord GOD to the land of Israel, 'An end! The end is coming on the four corners of the land.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:3 @'Now the end is upon you, and I will send My anger against you; I will judge you according to your ways and bring all your abominations upon you.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:4 @'For My eye will have no pity on you, nor will I spare you, but I will bring your ways upon you, and your abominations will be among you; then you will know that I am the LORD!'

nasb@Ezekiel:3:6 @'An end is coming; the end has come! It has awakened against you; behold, it has come!

nasb@Ezekiel:3:7 @'Your doom has come to you, O inhabitant of the land. The time has come, the day is near--tumult rather than joyful shouting on the mountains.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:8 @'Now I will shortly pour out My wrath on you and spend My anger against you; judge you according to your ways and bring on you all your abominations.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:9 @'My eye will show no pity nor will I spare. I will repay you according to your ways, while your abominations are in your midst; then you will know that I, the LORD, do the smiting.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:10 @'Behold, the day! Behold, it is coming! Your doom has gone forth; the rod has budded, arrogance has blossomed.

nasb@Ezekiel:4:5 @Then He said to me, "Son of man, raise your eyes now toward the north." So I raised my eyes toward the north, and behold, to the north of the altar gate was this idol of jealousy at the entrance.

nasb@Ezekiel:4:6 @And He said to me, "Son of man, do you see what they are doing, the great abominations which the house of Israel are committing here, so that I would be far from My sanctuary? But yet you will see still greater abominations."

nasb@Ezekiel:4:12 @Then He said to me, "Son of man, do you see what the elders of the house of Israel are committing in the dark, each man in the room of his carved images? For they say, ' The LORD does not see us; the LORD has forsaken the land.'"

nasb@Ezekiel:4:13 @And He said to me, "Yet you will see still greater abominations which they are committing."

nasb@Ezekiel:4:15 @He said to me, "Do you see this, son of man? Yet you will see still greater abominations than these."

nasb@Ezekiel:4:17 @He said to me, "Do you see this, son of man? Is it too light a thing for the house of Judah to commit the abominations which they have committed here, that they have filled the land with violence and provoked Me repeatedly? For behold, they are putting the twig to their nose.

nasb@Ezekiel:5:5 @But to the others He said in my hearing, "Go through the city after him and strike; do not let your eye have pity and do not spare.

nasb@Ezekiel:5:6" @Utterly slay old men, young men, maidens, little children, and women, but do not touch any man on whom is the mark; and you shall start from My sanctuary." So they started with the elders who were before the temple.

nasb@Ezekiel:5:8 @As they were striking the people and I alone was left, I fell on my face and cried out saying, " Alas, Lord GOD! Are You destroying the whole remnant of Israel by pouring out Your wrath on Jerusalem?"

nasb@Ezekiel:5:11 @Then behold, the man clothed in linen at whose loins was the writing case reported, saying, "I have done just as You have commanded me."

nasb@Ezekiel:6:2 @And He spoke to the man clothed in linen and said, "Enter between the whirling wheels under the cherubim and fill your hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim and scatter them over the city." And he entered in my sight.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:5 @Then the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me, and He said to me, "Say, 'Thus says the LORD, "So you think, house of Israel, for I know your thoughts.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:6" @You have multiplied your slain in this city, filling its streets with them."

nasb@Ezekiel:7:7 @'Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD, "Your slain whom you have laid in the midst of the city are the flesh and this city is the pot; but I will bring you out of it.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:8" @You have feared a sword; so I will bring a sword upon you," the Lord GOD declares.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:9" @And I will bring you out of the midst of the city and deliver you into the hands of strangers and execute judgments against you.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:13 @Now it came about as I prophesied, that Pelatiah son of Benaiah died. Then I fell on my face and cried out with a loud voice and said, " Alas, Lord GOD! Will You bring the remnant of Israel to a complete end?"

nasb@Ezekiel:7:15" @Son of man, your brothers, your relatives, your fellow exiles and the whole house of Israel, all of them, are those to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, 'Go far from the LORD; this land has been given us as a possession.'

nasb@Ezekiel:7:2" @Son of man, you live in the midst of the rebellious house, who have eyes to see but do not see, ears to hear but do not hear; for they are a rebellious house.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:3" @Therefore, son of man, prepare for yourself baggage for exile and go into exile by day in their sight; even go into exile from your place to another place in their sight. Perhaps they will understand though they are a rebellious house.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:6" @Load the baggage on your shoulder in their sight and carry it out in the dark. You shall cover your face so that you cannot see the land, for I have set you as a sign to the house of Israel."

nasb@Ezekiel:7:9" @Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to you, ' What are you doing?'

nasb@Ezekiel:7:11" @Say, 'I am a sign to you. As I have done, so it will be done to them; they will go into exile, into captivity.'

nasb@Ezekiel:7:20" @The inhabited cities will be laid waste and the land will be a desolation. So you will know that I am the LORD."'"

nasb@Ezekiel:7:22" @Son of man, what is this proverb you people have concerning the land of Israel, saying, 'The days are long and every vision fails'?

nasb@Ezekiel:7:25" @For I the LORD will speak, and whatever word I speak will be performed. It will no longer be delayed, for in your days, O rebellious house, I will speak the word and perform it," declares the Lord GOD.'"

nasb@Ezekiel:7:4" @O Israel, your prophets have been like foxes among ruins.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:5" @You have not gone up into the breaches, nor did you build the wall around the house of Israel to stand in the battle on the day of the LORD.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:8 @Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD, "Because you have spoken falsehood and seen a lie, therefore behold, I am against you," declares the Lord GOD.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:10" @I also clothed you with embroidered cloth and put sandals of porpoise skin on your feet; and I wrapped you with fine linen and covered you with silk.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:11" @I adorned you with ornaments, put bracelets on your hands and a necklace around your neck.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:12" @I also put a ring in your nostril, earrings in your ears and a beautiful crown on your head.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:15" @But you trusted in your beauty and played the harlot because of your fame, and you poured out your harlotries on every passer-by who might be willing.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:36 @Thus says the Lord GOD, "Because your lewdness was poured out and your nakedness uncovered through your harlotries with your lovers and with all your detestable idols, and because of the blood of your sons which you gave to idols,

nasb@Ezekiel:8:37 @therefore, behold, I will gather all your lovers with whom you took pleasure, even all those whom you loved and all those whom you hated. So I will gather them against you from every direction and expose your nakedness to them that they may see all your nakedness.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:38" @Thus I will judge you like women who commit adultery or shed blood are judged; and I will bring on you the blood of wrath and jealousy.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:39" @I will also give you into the hands of your lovers, and they will tear down your shrines, demolish your high places, strip you of your clothing, take away your jewels, and will leave you naked and bare.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:41" @They will burn your houses with fire and execute judgments on you in the sight of many women. Then I will stop you from playing the harlot, and you will also no longer pay your lovers.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:42" @So I will calm My fury against you and My jealousy will depart from you, and I will be pacified and angry no more.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:43" @Because you have not remembered the days of your youth but have enraged Me by all these things, behold, I in turn will bring your conduct down on your own head," declares the Lord GOD, "so that you will not commit this lewdness on top of all your other abominations.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:44" @Behold, everyone who quotes proverbs will quote this proverb concerning you, saying, 'Like mother, like daughter.'

nasb@Ezekiel:8:47" @Yet you have not merely walked in their ways or done according to their abominations; but, as if that were too little, you acted more corruptly in all your conduct than they.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:48" @As I live," declares the Lord GOD, "Sodom, your sister and her daughters have not done as you and your daughters have done.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:49" @Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom- she and her daughters had arrogance, abundant food and careless ease, but she did not help the poor and needy.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:51" @Furthermore, Samaria did not commit half of your sins, for you have multiplied your abominations more than they. Thus you have made your sisters appear righteous by all your abominations which you have committed.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:52" @Also bear your disgrace in that you have made judgment favorable for your sisters. Because of your sins in which you acted more abominably than they, they are more in the right than you. Yes, be also ashamed and bear your disgrace, in that you made your sisters appear righteous.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:53" @Nevertheless, I will restore their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and along with them your own captivity,

nasb@Ezekiel:8:56" @As the name of your sister Sodom was not heard from your lips in your day of pride,

nasb@Ezekiel:8:57 @before your wickedness was uncovered, so now you have become the reproach of the daughters of Edom and of all who are around her, of the daughters of the Philistines--those surrounding you who despise you.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:58" @You have borne the penalty of your lewdness and abominations," the LORD declares.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:59 @For thus says the Lord GOD, "I will also do with you as you have done, you who have despised the oath by breaking the covenant.

nasb@Daniel:4:11" @There is a man in your kingdom in whom is a spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of your father, illumination, insight and wisdom like the wisdom of the gods were found in him. And King Nebuchadnezzar, your father, your father the king, appointed him chief of the magicians, conjurers, Chaldeans and diviners.

nasb@Daniel:4:13 @Then Daniel was brought in before the king. The king spoke and said to Daniel, "Are you that Daniel who is one of the exiles from Judah, whom my father the king brought from Judah?

nasb@Daniel:4:14" @Now I have heard about you that a spirit of the gods is in you, and that illumination, insight and extraordinary wisdom have been found in you.

nasb@Daniel:4:16" @But I personally have heard about you, that you are able to give interpretations and solve difficult problems. Now if you are able to read the inscription and make its interpretation known to me, you will be clothed with purple and wear a necklace of gold around your neck, and you will have authority as the third ruler in the kingdom."

nasb@Daniel:4:17 @Then Daniel answered and said before the king, "Keep your gifts for yourself or give your rewards to someone else; however, I will read the inscription to the king and make the interpretation known to him.

nasb@Daniel:4:18" @O king, the Most High God granted sovereignty, grandeur, glory and majesty to Nebuchadnezzar your father.

nasb@Daniel:4:22" @Yet you, his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, even though you knew all this,

nasb@Daniel:4:23 @but you have exalted yourself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of His house before you, and you and your nobles, your wives and your concubines have been drinking wine from them; and you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood and stone, which do not see, hear or understand. But the God in whose hand are your life-breath and all your ways, you have not glorified.

nasb@Daniel:4:26" @This is the interpretation of the message- 'MENE'--God has numbered your kingdom and put an end to it.

nasb@Daniel:4:27" @ 'TEKEL'--you have been weighed on the scales and found deficient.

nasb@Daniel:4:28" @ 'PERES'--your kingdom has been divided and given over to the Medes and Persians."

nasb@Daniel:5:7" @All the commissioners of the kingdom, the prefects and the satraps, the high officials and the governors have consulted together that the king should establish a statute and enforce an injunction that anyone who makes a petition to any god or man besides you, O king, for thirty days, shall be cast into the lions' den.

nasb@Daniel:5:12 @Then they approached and spoke before the king about the king's injunction, "Did you not sign an injunction that any man who makes a petition to any god or man besides you, O king, for thirty days, is to be cast into the lions' den?" The king replied, "The statement is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which may not be revoked."

nasb@Daniel:5:13 @Then they answered and spoke before the king, " Daniel, who is one of the exiles from Judah, pays no attention to you, O king, or to the injunction which you signed, but keeps making his petition three times a day."

nasb@Daniel:5:16 @Then the king gave orders, and Daniel was brought in and cast into the lions' den. The king spoke and said to Daniel, " Your God whom you constantly serve will Himself deliver you."

nasb@Daniel:5:20 @When he had come near the den to Daniel, he cried out with a troubled voice. The king spoke and said to Daniel, "Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you constantly serve, been able to deliver you from the lions?"

nasb@Daniel:5:22" @My God sent His angel and shut the lions' mouths and they have not harmed me, inasmuch as I was found innocent before Him; and also toward you, O king, I have committed no crime."

nasb@Daniel:5:25 @Then Darius the king wrote to all the peoples, nations and men of every language who were living in all the land- " May your peace abound!

nasb@Daniel:7:19 @He said, "Behold, I am going to let you know what will occur at the final period of the indignation, for it pertains to the appointed time of the end.

nasb@Daniel:7:20" @The ram which you saw with the two horns represents the kings of Media and Persia.

nasb@Daniel:8:5 @we have sinned, committed iniquity, acted wickedly and rebelled, even turning aside from Your commandments and ordinances.

nasb@Daniel:8:6" @Moreover, we have not listened to Your servants the prophets, who spoke in Your name to our kings, our princes, our fathers and all the people of the land.

nasb@Daniel:8:7" @ Righteousness belongs to You, O Lord, but to us open shame, as it is this day--to the men of Judah, the inhabitants of Jerusalem and all Israel, those who are nearby and those who are far away in all the countries to which You have driven them, because of their unfaithful deeds which they have committed against You.

nasb@Daniel:8:8" @Open shame belongs to us, O Lord, to our kings, our princes and our fathers, because we have sinned against You.

nasb@Daniel:8:11" @Indeed all Israel has transgressed Your law and turned aside, not obeying Your voice; so the curse has been poured out on us, along with the oath which is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, for we have sinned against Him.

nasb@Daniel:8:13" @As it is written in the law of Moses, all this calamity has come on us; yet we have not sought the favor of the LORD our God by turning from our iniquity and giving attention to Your truth.

nasb@Daniel:8:15" @And now, O Lord our God, who have brought Your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand and have made a name for Yourself, as it is this day--we have sinned, we have been wicked.

nasb@Daniel:8:16" @O Lord, in accordance with all Your righteous acts, let now Your anger and Your wrath turn away from Your city Jerusalem, Your holy mountain; for because of our sins and the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and Your people have become a reproach to all those around us.

nasb@Daniel:8:17" @So now, our God, listen to the prayer of Your servant and to his supplications, and for Your sake, O Lord, let Your face shine on Your desolate sanctuary.

nasb@Daniel:8:18" @O my God, incline Your ear and hear! Open Your eyes and see our desolations and the city which is called by Your name; for we are not presenting our supplications before You on account of any merits of our own, but on account of Your great compassion.

nasb@Daniel:8:19" @O Lord, hear! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, listen and take action! For Your own sake, O my God, do not delay, because Your city and Your people are called by Your name."

nasb@Daniel:8:22 @He gave me instruction and talked with me and said, "O Daniel, I have now come forth to give you insight with understanding.

nasb@Daniel:8:23" @At the beginning of your supplications the command was issued, and I have come to tell you, for you are highly esteemed; so give heed to the message and gain understanding of the vision.

nasb@Daniel:8:24" @Seventy weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sin, to make atonement for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy place.

nasb@Daniel:8:25" @So you are to know and discern that from the issuing of a decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; it will be built again, with plaza and moat, even in times of distress.

nasb@Daniel:9:11 @He said to me, "O Daniel, man of high esteem, understand the words that I am about to tell you and stand upright, for I have now been sent to you." And when he had spoken this word to me, I stood up trembling.

nasb@Daniel:9:12 @Then he said to me, " Do not be afraid, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart on understanding this and on humbling yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to your words.

nasb@Daniel:9:14" @Now I have come to give you an understanding of what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision pertains to the days yet future."

nasb@Daniel:9:19 @He said, "O man of high esteem, do not be afraid. Peace be with you; take courage and be courageous!" Now as soon as he spoke to me, I received strength and said, "May my lord speak, for you have strengthened me."

nasb@Daniel:9:20 @Then he said, "Do you understand why I came to you? But I shall now return to fight against the prince of Persia; so I am going forth, and behold, the prince of Greece is about to come.

nasb@Daniel:9:21" @However, I will tell you what is inscribed in the writing of truth. Yet there is no one who stands firmly with me against these forces except Michael your prince.

nasb@Daniel:9:2" @And now I will tell you the truth. Behold, three more kings are going to arise in Persia. Then a fourth will gain far more riches than all of them; as soon as he becomes strong through his riches, he will arouse the whole empire against the realm of Greece.

nasb@Daniel:9:14" @Now in those times many will rise up against the king of the South; the violent ones among your people will also lift themselves up in order to fulfill the vision, but they will fall down.

nasb@Daniel:9:12" @Now at that time Michael, the great prince who stands guard over the sons of your people, will arise. And there will be a time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time; and at that time your people, everyone who is found written in the book, will be rescued.

nasb@Daniel:9:4" @But as for you, Daniel, conceal these words and seal up the book until the end of time; many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase."

nasb@Daniel:9:9 @He said, "Go your way, Daniel, for these words are concealed and sealed up until the end time.

nasb@Daniel:9:13" @But as for you, go your way to the end; then you will enter into rest and rise again for your allotted portion at the end of the age."
