Settings

6:1In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting on a high and lofty throne, and the train of His robe filled the temple. Compare
6:2Seraphim hovered over Him, each having six wings: With two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. Compare
6:3And one called to the other, saying: Holy, holy, holy, Jehovah of hosts; / The whole earth is filled with His glory. Compare
6:4And the foundations of the threshold shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke. Compare
6:5Then I said, Woe is me, for I am finished! / For I am a man of unclean lips, / And in the midst of a people of unclean lips I dwell; / Yet my eyes have seen the King, Jehovah of hosts. Compare
6:6Then one of the seraphim flew to me with an ember in his hand, which he had taken from the altar with a pair of tongs. Compare
6:7And he touched my mouth with it and said, Now that this has touched your lips, / Your iniquity is taken away, and your sin is purged. Compare
6:8Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send? Who will go for Us? And I said, Here am I; send me. Compare
6:9And He said, Go and say to this people, Hear indeed, but do not perceive; / And see indeed, but do not understand. Compare
6:10Make the heart of this people numb; / Dull their ears, / And seal their eyes; / Lest they see with their eyes and hear with their ears, / And their heart perceive and return, and they are healed. Compare
6:11And I said, For how long, Lord? And He said, Until cities lie devastated, / Without inhabitants, / And houses are without people, / And the land is devastated and a waste; Compare
6:12And Jehovah has sent men far away from it, / And desolate places abound in the midst of the land. Compare
6:13But there will still be a tenth part in it; / And it in turn is to be burned / Like a terebinth or an oak, / Whose stump remains after its felling; / Its stump will be a holy seed. Compare
7:1In the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, the king of Judah, Rezin the king of Aram and Pekah the son of Remaliah, the king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to wage war against it, but they were not able to prevail against it. Compare
7:2And it was reported to the house of David that Aram allied with Ephraim, and his heart and the heart of his people quivered as the trees of the forest quiver in the face of a wind. Compare
7:3Then Jehovah said to Isaiah, Go out to meet Ahaz, you and Shear-jashub your son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, on the road to the Fuller's Field; Compare
7:4And say to him, Be careful and be quiet; do not fear, and do not be fainthearted because of these two smoking firebrand stubs, at the burning anger of Rezin and Aram, and the son of Remaliah. Compare
7:5Because Aram and Ephraim and the son of Remaliah have planned evil against you, saying, Compare
7:6Let us go up against Judah and make it sick with terror and break it open for ourselves, and let us set the son of Tabel in its midst as king; Compare
7:7Thus says the Lord Jehovah, / It shall not stand, and it shall not happen; Compare
7:8For the head of Aram is Damascus, / And the head of Damascus is Rezin; / And in another sixty-five years / Ephraim will be shattered as a people. Compare
7:9And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, / And the head of Samaria is the son of Remaliah; / If you do not believe, surely you will not remain standing. Compare
7:10Then Jehovah spoke further to Ahaz, saying, Compare
7:11Ask for a sign from Jehovah your God; make it as deep as Sheol, or make it as high as high can go. Compare
7:12And Ahaz said, I will not ask, and I will not try Jehovah. Compare
7:13And he said, Hear now, O house of David, is it too small a thing for you to exhaust the patience of men that you will exhaust the patience of my God as well? Compare
7:14Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin will conceive and will bear a son, and she will call his name Immanuel. Compare
7:15He will eat curds and honey until he knows how to refuse evil and choose good. Compare
7:16For before this boy knows how to refuse evil and choose good, the land whose two kings you dread will be abandoned. Compare
7:17Jehovah will bring upon you and your people and the house of your father such days as have not been since the days when Ephraim turned away from Judah; He will bring upon you the king of Assyria. Compare
7:18And in that day Jehovah will whistle for the flies which are at the ends of the rivers of Egypt and for the bees which are in the land of Assyria. Compare
7:19And they will all come and settle in the steep ravines and the clefts of the cliffs and on all the thornbushes and on all watering places. Compare
7:20In that day the Lord will shave with the razor hired from beyond the River, with the king of Assyria, the head and the hair of the legs; and it will take away the beard as well. Compare
7:21And in that day each man will keep alive only a milk cow and two females of the flock. Compare
7:22And because of the abundance of milk produced, he will eat curds; for everyone left behind in the midst of the land will eat curds and honey. Compare
7:23And in that day every place where there could be a thousand vines, worth a thousand shekels of silver, will become thorns and thistles. Compare
7:24Men will come there with arrows and bow, for all the land will be thorns and thistles. Compare
7:25And to all the hills that once were hoed with the hoe you will not go for fear of thorns and thistles; but they will become a place for cattle to roam in and for sheep to trample. Compare
8:1Then Jehovah said to me, Take a large tablet and write on it in plain letters, For Maher-shalal-hash-baz; Compare
8:2And I will take faithful witnesses, Urijah the priest and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah. Compare
8:3And I went to the prophetess, and she conceived and bore a son. And Jehovah said to me, Call his name Maher-shalal-hash-baz, Compare
8:4For before this boy knows how to call, Father, and, Mother, they will carry off the wealth of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria before the king of Assyria. Compare
8:5Then Jehovah spoke further to me, saying, Compare
8:6Because these people have rejected / The gently flowing waters of Shiloah, and exult / In Rezin and the son of Remaliah, Compare
8:7Now therefore the Lord is bringing up upon them / The mighty and abundant waters of the Euphrates, / The king of Assyria and all his glory; / And it will overflow all its channels, / And go over all its banks. Compare
8:8It will sweep through Judah; it will overflow and rise / Until it reaches the neck; / And the spreading out of its wings / Will fill the breadth of Your land, O Immanuel. Compare
8:9Be broken, O peoples, and be shattered; / Hearken, all you distant places of the earth: / Gird yourselves, yet be shattered; / Gird yourselves, yet be shattered. Compare
8:10Take counsel, yet it will be frustrated; / Speak the word, yet it will not stand; / For God is with us. Compare
8:11For Jehovah spoke to me in this way with great force and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying, Compare
8:12You shall not call it conspiracy / All that this people calls conspiracy; / And you shall not fear what they fear nor hold it in awe. Compare
8:13You shall sanctify Jehovah of hosts; / He shall be the One to fear and He shall be the One to hold in awe. Compare
8:14Then He will become a sanctuary, yet a stone to strike against / And a rock of stumbling / To both houses of Israel, / A trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. Compare
8:15And many will stumble at these, / And will fall and be broken to pieces, / And will be snared and taken captive. Compare
8:16Bind up the testimony; seal the instruction among my disciples; Compare
8:17And I will wait on Jehovah, who hides His face from the house of Jacob, and I will look eagerly for Him. Compare
8:18See, I and the children whom Jehovah has given me are for signs and wonders in Israel from Jehovah of hosts, who abides on Mount Zion. Compare
8:19When they say to you, Inquire of the necromancers and the familiar spirits, who twitter and mutter; say to them, Should not a people inquire of their God? Should they go to the dead on behalf of the living - Compare
8:20To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because in them there is no dawn. Compare
8:21And they go through it hard-pressed and hungry; and when they are hungry, they rage and curse their king and their God. They turn their faces upward, Compare
8:22And they look to the earth, but there is only distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish and being thrust into darkness. Compare
9:1But gloom does not remain in the place where there was anguish: formerly He treated the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali contemptibly, but afterward He treats the way of the sea, across the Jordan, with glory, Galilee of the nations. Compare
9:2The people who walked in the darkness / Have seen a great light; / Upon those who dwell in the land of the shadow of death / Light has shined. Compare
9:3You have multiplied the nation; / You have increased their gladness; / They are glad before You as with the gladness of harvest, / As men rejoice when they divide the spoil. Compare
9:4For You break the yoke of their burden / And the staff on their shoulder, / The rod of their oppressor, / As in the day of Midian. Compare
9:5For all the boots / Of those who in boots trample in the battle quake / And the garments / Rolled in blood / Are for burning; / They are fuel for fire. Compare
9:6For a child is born to us, / A Son is given to us; / And the government / Is upon His shoulder; / And His name will be called / Wonderful Counselor, / Mighty God, / Eternal Father, / Prince of Peace. Compare
9:7To the increase of His government / And to His peace there is no end, / Upon the throne of David / And over His kingdom, / To establish it / And to uphold it / In justice and righteousness / From now to eternity. / The zeal of Jehovah of hosts / Will accomplish this. Compare
