over them. O My people, your guides mislead you; they turn you from your paths.

Zion and
over her
assemblies a cloud of smoke by day and a
glowing flame of fire by night. For

roar against them like the
roaring of the sea: and if one look unto the land, behold darkness and sorrow, and the light is
darkened in the heavens thereof.
In that day they will
roar over it, like the
roaring of the sea. If one looks
over the land, he will see darkness and distress; even the light will be obscured by clouds.

Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it.
Now in the days that
Ahaz son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, was king of Judah, Rezin king of
Aram marched up to
wage war against Jerusalem. He was accompanied by Pekah son of Remaliah the king of Israel, but he could not
overpower the city.

heed, and be quiet; fear not, neither be
fainthearted for the two tails of these smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.
and say to him: Calm down and be quiet. Do not be afraid or
disheartened over these two
smoldering stubs of
firewood—
over the fierce anger of Rezin and
Aram and of the son of Remaliah.
Let us go up against Judah, and
vex it, and let us make a breach therein for us, and set a king in the midst of it, even the son of Tabeal:

install the son of Tabeal
over it as king.’

pomp. It will
overflow its channels and
overrun its banks.

overflow and go
over, he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O
Immanuel.

Shall the
axe boast itself against him that heweth
therewith? or shall the saw
magnify itself against him that shaketh it? as if the rod should
shake itself against them that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up itself, as if it were no wood.
Does an
axe raise itself above the one who swings it? Does a saw
boast over him who saws with it? It would be like a rod waving the one who lifts it, or a staff lifting him who is not wood!

over the passage: they have taken up their

shake his hand
over the river, and shall
smite it in the seven streams, and make men go
over dryshod.

overthrown by God like

captives, whose
captives they were; and they shall rule
over their oppressors.

escort Israel and bring it to its homeland. Then the house of Israel will possess the nations as menservants and maidservants in the LORD’s land. They will make

He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, the high places, to
weep: Moab shall
howl over Nebo, and
over Medeba: on all their heads shall be
baldness, and every
beard cut off.

over Medeba. Every head is
shaved, every
beard is cut off.
My heart shall cry out for Moab; his fugitives shall
flee unto Zoar, an
heifer of three years old: for by the mounting up of Luhith with
weeping shall they go it up; for in the way of Horonaim they shall raise up a cry of destruction.
My heart
cries out
over Moab; her fugitives
flee as far as Zoar, as far as Eglath-shelishiyah. With
weeping they
ascend the slope of Luhith; they
lament their destruction on the road to Horonaim.
Therefore the abundance they have
gotten, and that which they have laid up, shall they carry away to the
brook of the willows.

over the
Brook of the Willows.

For the fields of
Heshbon languish, and the vine of Sibmah: the lords of the heathen have broken down the principal plants thereof, they are come even unto Jazer, they
wandered through the wilderness: her branches are stretched out, they are gone
over the sea.
For the fields of
Heshbon have
withered, along with the grapevines of Sibmah. The rulers of the nations have
trampled its choicest vines, which had reached as far as Jazer and spread toward the desert. Their shoots had spread out and passed
over the sea.
Therefore I will
bewail with the
weeping of Jazer the vine of Sibmah: I will water thee with my tears, O
Heshbon, and Elealeh: for the
shouting for thy summer fruits and for thy harvest is fallen.
So I
weep with Jazer for the vines of Sibmah; I
drench Heshbon and Elealeh with my tears.
Triumphant shouts have fallen silent
over your summer fruit and your harvest.

planned against it.
Therefore said I, Look away from me; I will
weep bitterly, labour not to comfort me, because of the
spoiling of the daughter of my people.

over the destruction of the daughter of my people.”

treasurer, even unto Shebna, which is
over the house, and say,

Be still, ye inhabitants of the isle; thou whom the merchants of Zidon, that pass
over the sea, have
replenished.

Sidon, whose traders have crossed the sea.
As at the report concerning Egypt, so shall they be
sorely pained at the report of Tyre.

over to

He stretched out his hand
over the sea, he
shook the kingdoms: the LORD hath given a commandment against the merchant city, to destroy the strong holds thereof.
The LORD has stretched out His hand
over the sea; He has made kingdoms
tremble. He has given a command that the strongholds of
Canaan be destroyed.
And he said, Thou shalt no more
rejoice, O thou
oppressed virgin, daughter of Zidon: arise, pass
over to
Chittim; there also shalt thou have no rest.
He said, “You shall
rejoice no more, O
oppressed Virgin Daughter of
Sidon. Get up and cross
over to
Cyprus— even there you will find no rest.”
And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast
over all people, and the
vail that is spread
over all nations.
On this mountain He will
swallow up the
shroud that enfolds all peoples, the sheet that covers all nations;
O LORD our God, other lords besides thee have had dominion over us: but by thee only will we make mention of thy name.
O LORD our God, other lords besides You have had dominion, but Your name alone do we
confess.
Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide
thyself as it were for a little moment, until the
indignation be
overpast.
Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut your doors behind you. Hide
yourselves a little while until the wrath has passed.
Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty is a
fading flower, which are on the head of the fat valleys of them that are
overcome with wine!

majestic crown of Ephraim’s drunkards, to the
fading flower of his glorious
splendor, set on the summit above the fertile valley, the pride of those
overcome by wine.

tempest of
hail and a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters
overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand.

hailstorm or destructive
tempest, like a driving rain or flooding
downpour, he will
smash that crown to the ground.
Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with
hell are we at agreement; when the
overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under
falsehood have we
hid ourselves:
For you said, “We have made a covenant with death; we have fashioned an agreement with
Sheol. When the
overwhelming scourge passes through it will not touch us, because we have made lies our refuge and
falsehood our hiding place.”
Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the
plummet: and the
hail shall
sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall
overflow the hiding place.
I will make justice the measuring line and righteousness the level.
Hail will
sweep away your refuge of lies, and water will flood your hiding place.
And your covenant with death shall be
disannulled, and your agreement with
hell shall not stand; when the
overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be
trodden down by it.
Your covenant with death will be dissolved, and your agreement with
Sheol will not stand. When the
overwhelming scourge passes through, you will be
trampled by it.
From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass
over, by day and by night: and it shall be a
vexation only to understand the report.
As often as it passes through, it will carry you away; it will
sweep through morning after morning, by day and by night.” The understanding of this message will bring sheer terror.

over it, the horses do not
crush it.

overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to
sift the nations with the
sieve of vanity: and there shall be a
bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to
err.

rushing torrent that rises to the neck. He comes to
sift the nations in a
sieve of destruction; He bridles the jaws of the peoples to lead them
astray.
For thus hath the LORD spoken unto me, Like as the lion and the young lion
roaring on his prey, when a multitude of
shepherds is called forth against him, he will not be afraid of their voice, nor
abase himself for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount
Zion, and for the hill thereof.
For this is what the LORD has said to me: “Like a lion
roaring or a young lion
over its prey— and though a band of
shepherds is called out against it, it is not
terrified by their
shouting or subdued by their
clamor— so the LORD of Hosts will come down to do battle on Mount
Zion and its heights.
As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver it; and passing over he will preserve it.
Like birds
hovering overhead, so the LORD of Hosts will protect Jerusalem. He will shield it and deliver it; He will pass
over it and preserve it.”
And he shall pass
over to his strong hold for fear, and his princes shall be afraid of the
ensign, saith the LORD, whose fire is in
Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
Their rock will pass away for fear, and their princes will
panic at the sight of the battle standard,” declares the LORD, whose fire is in
Zion, whose furnace is in Jerusalem.
Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye careless daughters; give ear unto my speech.
Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers;
yea, upon all the houses of joy in the
joyous city:
and for the land of my people,
overgrown with thorns and briers— even for every house of
merriment in this city of
revelry.
And your
spoil shall be gathered like the gathering of the caterpiller: as the running to and
fro of locusts shall he run upon them.
Your
spoil, O nations, is gathered as by locusts; like a
swarm of locusts men
sweep over it.
For the
indignation of the LORD is upon all nations, and his
fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter.
The LORD is
angry with all the nations and
furious with all their armies. He will
devote them to destruction; He will give them
over to slaughter.
But the
cormorant and the
bittern shall possess it; the
owl also and the
raven shall dwell in it: and he shall stretch out upon it the line of confusion, and the stones of
emptiness.
The desert
owl and
screech owl will possess it, and the great
owl and
raven will dwell in it. The LORD will stretch out
over Edom a measuring line of
chaos and a
plumb line of destruction.
And thorns shall come up in her palaces,
nettles and brambles in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be an
habitation of
dragons, and a court for owls.
Her towers will be
overgrown with thorns, her fortresses with thistles and briers. She will become a
haunt for jackals, an abode for ostriches.
And an
highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of
holiness; the unclean shall not pass
over it; but it shall be for those: the
wayfaring men, though fools, shall not
err therein.
And there will be a
highway called the Way of
Holiness. The unclean will not travel it— only those who walk in the Way— and fools will not
stray onto it.

over the house, and Shebna the
scribe, and Joah,
Asaph’s son, the recorder.
Then Eliakim son of Hilkiah the palace
administrator, Shebna the
scribe, and Joah son of
Asaph the recorder, went out to him.
Then came Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, that was
over the household, and Shebna the
scribe, and Joah, the son of
Asaph, the recorder, to
Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and told him the words of
Rabshakeh.
And he sent Eliakim, who was
over the household, and Shebna the
scribe, and the elders of the priests covered with
sackcloth, unto Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.
And he sent Eliakim the palace
administrator, Shebna the
scribe, and the leading priests, all wearing
sackcloth, to the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz
O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, that dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made heaven and earth.
“O LORD of Hosts, God of Israel, enthroned above the
cherubim, You alone are God
over all the kingdoms of the earth. You made the heavens and the earth.
To an
idol that a
craftsman casts and a metalworker
overlays with gold and fits with silver chains?
Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is
hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed
over from my God?
Why do you say, O Jacob, and why do you assert, O Israel, “My way is hidden from the LORD, and my claim is
ignored by my God”?
Who raised up the righteous man from the east, called him to his foot, gave the nations before him, and made him rule
over kings? he gave them as the dust to his sword, and as driven
stubble to his bow.
Who has
aroused one from the east and called him to his feet in righteousness? He hands nations
over to him and subdues kings before him. He turns them to dust with his sword, to windblown
chaff with his bow.
I have raised up one from the north, and he shall come: from the rising of the sun shall he call upon my name: and he shall come upon princes as upon
morter, and as the
potter treadeth clay.
I have raised up one from the north, and he has come— one from the east who calls on My name. He will march
over rulers as if they were mortar, like a
potter who treads the clay.
The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall
stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry,
yea,
roar; he shall prevail against his enemies.
The LORD goes forth like a mighty one; He stirs up His zeal like a
warrior. He shouts;
yes, He roars in triumph
over His enemies:
When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not
overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame
kindle upon thee.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you go through the rivers, they will not
overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be
scorched; the flames will not set you
ablaze.
The smith with the
tongs both worketh in the coals, and fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with the strength of his arms:
yea, he is
hungry, and his strength faileth: he drinketh no water, and is
faint.
The
blacksmith takes a tool and labors
over the coals; he fashions an
idol with hammers and forges it with his strong arms. Yet he grows
hungry and loses his strength; he fails to drink water and grows
faint.
Thus saith the LORD, The labour of Egypt, and
merchandise of
Ethiopia and of the
Sabeans, men of
stature, shall come
over unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall come after thee; in chains they shall come
over, and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make
supplication unto thee, saying, Surely God is in thee; and there is none else, there is no God.
This is what the LORD says: “The products of Egypt and the
merchandise of
Cush, along with the
Sabeans, men of
stature, will come
over to you and will be yours; they will
trudge behind you; they will come
over in chains and bow down to you. They will
confess to you: ‘God is indeed with you, and there is no other; there is no other God.’”
Take the millstones, and
grind meal: uncover thy locks, make bare the leg, uncover the
thigh, pass
over the rivers.
Take millstones and
grind flour; remove your
veil; strip off your
skirt, bare your
thigh, and
wade through the streams.
But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and
widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy
sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments.
These two things will
overtake you in a moment, in a single day: loss of children, and
widowhood. They will come upon you in full measure, in spite of your many
sorceries and the
potency of your spells.
Art thou not it which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the
ransomed to pass
over?
Was it not You who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep, who made a road in the depths of the sea for the redeemed to cross over?
Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto
Zion; and
everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain
gladness and joy; and sorrow and
mourning shall
flee away.
But I will put it into the hand of them that
afflict thee; which have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go
over: and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went
over.
I will place it in the hands of your tormentors, who told you: ‘Lie down, so we can walk over you,’ so that you made your back like the ground, like a street to be traversed.”
Now therefore, what have I here, saith the LORD, that my people is taken away for
nought? they that rule
over them make them to
howl, saith the LORD; and my name continually every day is
blasphemed.
And now what have I here? declares the LORD. For My people have been taken without cause; those who rule them
taunt, declares the LORD, and My name is
blasphemed continually all day long.
For this is as the waters of
Noah unto me: for as I have
sworn that the waters of
Noah should no more go
over the earth; so have I
sworn that I would not be
wroth with thee, nor
rebuke thee.
“For to Me this is like the days of
Noah, when I
swore that the waters of
Noah would never again cover the earth. So I have
sworn that I will not be
angry with you or
rebuke you.
Therefore is judgment far from us, neither
doth justice
overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness.
Therefore justice is far from us, and righteousness does not reach us. We hope for light, but there is darkness; for brightness, but we walk in
gloom.
For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
For behold, darkness covers the earth, and thick darkness is over the peoples; but the LORD will rise upon you, and His glory will appear over you.
For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the
bridegroom rejoiceth
over the
bride, so shall thy God
rejoice over thee.
For as a young man marries a young woman, so your sons will marry you; and as a
bridegroom rejoices
over his
bride, so your God will
rejoice over you.
We are thine: thou never barest rule over them; they were not called by thy name.
We have become like those You never ruled, like those not called by Your name.
Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be
glad with her, all ye that love her:
rejoice for joy with her, all ye that
mourn for her:
As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.

consoled over Jerusalem.”
See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.
See, I have appointed you
today over nations and kingdoms to
uproot and
tear down, to destroy and
overthrow, to build and plant.”
Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will
hasten my word to perform it.
“You have observed correctly,” said the LORD, “for I am watching
over My word to
accomplish it.”
And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee.
They will fight against you but will never overcome you, since I am with you to deliver you,” declares the LORD.
For pass
over the isles of
Chittim, and see; and send unto
Kedar, and consider
diligently, and see if there be such a thing.
Cross
over to the coasts of
Cyprus and take a look; send to
Kedar and consider carefully; see if there has ever been anything like this:
Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall
slay them, and a wolf of the evenings shall
spoil them, a
leopard shall watch
over their cities: every one that goeth out thence shall be
torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, and their backslidings are increased.
Therefore a lion from the forest will strike them down, a wolf from the desert will
ravage them. A
leopard will lie in wait near their cities, and
everyone who ventures out will be
torn to pieces. For their
rebellious acts are many, and their unfaithful deeds are numerous.
Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not
tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof
toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they
roar, yet can they not pass
over it?
Do you not fear Me?” declares the LORD. “Do you not
tremble before Me, the One who set the sand as the boundary for the sea, an
enduring barrier it cannot cross? The waves
surge, but they cannot prevail. They
roar but cannot cross it.
They are
waxen fat, they
shine:
yea, they
overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they
prosper; and the right of the
needy do they not judge.
They have grown fat and
sleek, and have
excelled in the deeds of the wicked. They have not taken up the cause of the fatherless, that they might
prosper; nor have they defended the rights of the
needy.
O ye children of Benjamin, gather
yourselves to
flee out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the
trumpet in Tekoa, and set up a sign of fire in Beth-haccerem: for evil appeareth out of the north, and great destruction.
“Run for cover, O sons of Benjamin;
flee from Jerusalem! Sound the ram’s horn in Tekoa; send up a signal
over Beth-haccherem, for
disaster looms from the north, even great destruction.
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall throughly
glean the
remnant of Israel as a vine: turn back thine hand as a grapegatherer into the baskets.
This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “
Glean the
remnant of Israel as thoroughly as a vine. Pass your hand once more like a
grape gatherer
over the branches.”
And their houses shall be turned unto others, with their fields and wives together: for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD.
Their houses will be turned over to others, their fields and wives as well, for I will stretch out My hand against the inhabitants of the land,” declares the LORD.
I appointed
watchmen over you and said, ‘
Listen for the sound of the ram’s horn.’ But they answered, ‘We will not
listen!’
And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of them that remain of this evil family, which remain in all the places
whither I have driven them, saith the LORD of hosts.
And wherever I have banished them, the
remnant of this evil family will choose death
over life,” declares the LORD of Hosts.
Oh that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I might
weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!
Oh, that my head were a spring of water, and my eyes a fountain of tears! I would
weep day and night
over the slain daughter of my people.
And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not
valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD.
“They bend their tongues like bows; lies prevail over truth in the land. For they proceed from evil to evil, and they do not take Me into account,” declares the LORD.
For the mountains will I take up a
weeping and
wailing, and for the habitations of the wilderness a
lamentation, because they are burned up, so that none can pass through them; neither can men hear the voice of the cattle; both the fowl of the heavens and the beast are fled; they are gone.
I will take up a
weeping and
wailing for the mountains, a
dirge over the wilderness pasture, for they have been
scorched so no one passes through, and the lowing of cattle is not heard. Both the birds of the air and the beasts have fled; they have gone away.
And let them make
haste, and take up a
wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids
gush out with waters.
Let them come quickly and take up a
lament over us, that our eyes may
overflow with tears, and our eyelids may
gush with water.
