The
heart of the wise is in the house of
mourning; but the
heart of fools is in the house of
mirth.
The
heart of the wise is in the house of
mourning, but the
heart of fools is in the house of pleasure.
It is better to
hear the
rebuke of the wise, than for a man to
hear the song of fools.
Surely oppression maketh a wise man
mad; and a gift destroyeth the
heart.
Also take no
heed unto all words that are spoken; lest thou
hear thy servant
curse thee:
Do not pay attention to every word that is spoken, or you may
hear your servant
cursing you.
For you know in your
heart that many times you
yourself have
cursed others.
I applied mine
heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of
foolishness and madness:
I directed my mind to understand, to
explore, to search out wisdom and explanations, and to understand the
stupidity of wickedness and the folly of madness.
And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose
heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands:
whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the
sinner shall be taken by her.
And I find more bitter than death the woman who is a
snare, whose
heart is a net, and whose hands are chains. The man who pleases God escapes her, but the
sinner is ensnared.
Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man’s
heart discerneth both time and judgment.
Whoever keeps his command will come to no
harm, and a wise
heart knows the right time and procedure.
All this have I seen, and applied my
heart unto every work that is done under the sun: there is a time wherein one man ruleth over another to his own
hurt.
All this I have seen, applying my mind to every deed that is done under the sun; there is a time when one man lords it over another to his own
detriment.
Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
When the sentence for a crime is not speedily executed, the hearts of men become fully set on doing evil.
When I applied mine
heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done upon the earth: (for also there is that neither day nor night
seeth sleep with his eyes:)
When I applied my mind to know wisdom and to observe the task that one performs on the earth—though his eyes do not see sleep in the day or even in the night—
For all this I considered in my heart even to declare all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God: no man knoweth either love or hatred by all that is before them.
So I took all this to
heart and concluded that the righteous and the wise, as well as their deeds, are in God’s hands. Man does not know what lies
ahead, whether love or
hate.
This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event unto all:
yea, also the
heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their
heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead.
This is an evil in everything that is done under the sun: There is one fate for
everyone.
Furthermore, the
hearts of men are full of evil and madness while they are alive, and afterward they join the dead.
Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a
merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works.
Go, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a
cheerful heart, for God has already approved your works:
Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man’s wisdom is
despised, and his words are not
heard.
And I said, “Wisdom is better than strength, but the wisdom of the poor man is
despised, and his words are not
heeded.”
The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.
The calm words of the wise are
heeded over the shouts of a ruler among fools.
A wise man’s
heart is at his right hand; but a
fool’s
heart at his left.
A wise man’s
heart inclines to the right, but the
heart of a
fool to the left.
Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy
heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine
heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.
Rejoice, O young man, while you are young, and let your
heart be
glad in the days of your youth. Walk in the ways of your
heart and in the sight of your eyes, but know that for all these things God will bring you to judgment.
Therefore remove sorrow from thy
heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for
childhood and youth are vanity.
So
banish sorrow from your
heart, and cast off pain from your body, for youth and
vigor are fleeting.
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
When all has been heard, the conclusion of the matter is this: Fear God and keep His commandments, because this is the whole duty of man.
The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the
turtle is
heard in our land;

cooing of turtledoves is
heard in our land.

dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me
hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely.

dove in the clefts of the rock, in the crevices of the
cliff, let me see your face, let me
hear your voice; for your voice is sweet, and your countenance is lovely.

gladness of his
heart.

Zion, and
gaze at King Solomon, wearing the crown his mother bestowed on the day of his
wedding— the day of his
heart’s
rejoicing.
Thou hast
ravished my
heart, my sister, my
spouse; thou hast
ravished my
heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck.
You have captured my
heart, my sister, my
bride; you have
stolen my
heart with one
glance of your eyes, with one
jewel of your neck.
I sleep, but my
heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my
dove, my
undefiled: for my head is filled with
dew, and my locks with the drops of the night.
My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door, and my
bowels were moved for him.
My beloved put his hand to the
latch; my
heart pounded for him.
I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.
I opened for my beloved, but he had turned and gone. My
heart sank at his departure. I sought him, but did not find him. I called, but he did not answer.
Set me as a seal upon thine
heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most
vehement flame.
Set me as a seal over your
heart, as a seal upon your arm. For love is as strong as death, its jealousy as
unrelenting as
Sheol. Its sparks are
fiery flames, the fiercest
blaze of all.
Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions
hearken to thy voice: cause me to
hear it.
You who dwell in the gardens, my companions are
listening for your voice. Let me
hear it!
Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have
nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.
Listen, O heavens, and give ear, O earth, for the LORD has spoken: “I have raised children and brought them up, but they have rebelled against Me.
Why should ye be
stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole
heart faint.
Why do you want more beatings? Why do you keep rebelling? Your head has a massive wound, and your whole
heart is
afflicted.
Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of
Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of
Gomorrah.
Hear the word of the LORD, you rulers of
Sodom;
listen to the instruction of our God, you people of
Gomorrah!
And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you:
yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not
hear: your hands are full of blood.
When you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide My eyes from you; even though you multiply your prayers, I will not
listen. Your hands are covered with blood.
When the Lord shall have washed away the
filth of the daughters of
Zion, and shall have
purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.
when the Lord has washed away the
filth of the daughters of
Zion and
cleansed the bloodstains from the
heart of Jerusalem by a spirit of judgment and a spirit of fire.
For the
vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.
For the
vineyard of the LORD of Hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah are the plant of His delight. He looked for justice, but saw
bloodshed; for righteousness, but
heard a cry of distress.
In mine ears said the LORD of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be
desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant.

Make the
heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and
hear with their ears, and understand with their
heart, and convert, and be
healed.
Make the
hearts of this people calloused;
deafen their ears and close their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears, understand with their
hearts, and turn and be
healed.”
And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria is
confederate with Ephraim. And his
heart was moved, and the
heart of his people, as the trees of the wood are moved with the wind.
When it was reported to the house of David that
Aram was in league with Ephraim, the
hearts of
Ahaz and his people
trembled like trees in the forest
shaken by the wind.
And he said,
Hear ye now, O house of David; Is it a small thing for you to
weary men, but will ye
weary my God also?
Then Isaiah said, “
Hear now, O house of David! Is it not enough to try the
patience of men? Will you try the
patience of my God as well?
And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in the pride and
stoutness of
heart,
All the people will know it— Ephraim and the dwellers of Samaria. With pride and
arrogance of
heart they will say:
Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither
doth his
heart think so; but it is in his
heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few.
But this is not his intention; this is not his plan. For it is in his heart to destroy and cut off many nations.
Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount
Zion and on Jerusalem, I will
punish the fruit of the
stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks.
So when the Lord has completed all His work against Mount
Zion and Jerusalem, He will say, “I will
punish the king of Assyria for the fruit of his
arrogant heart and the proud look in his eyes.

ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God. I will sit on the mount of assembly, in the far reaches of the north.
And
Heshbon shall cry, and Elealeh: their voice shall be
heard even unto Jahaz: therefore the armed soldiers of Moab shall cry out; his life shall be
grievous unto him.
Heshbon and Elealeh cry out; their voices are
heard as far as Jahaz. Therefore the soldiers of Moab cry out; their souls
tremble within.
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.
For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab; the
howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the
howling thereof unto Beer-elim.
For their outcry
echoes to the border of Moab. Their
wailing reaches Eglaim; it is
heard in Beer-elim.
We have
heard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud: even of his
haughtiness, and his pride, and his wrath: but his lies shall not be so.
Wherefore my
bowels shall sound like an
harp for Moab, and mine inward parts for Kir-haresh.
Therefore my
heart laments for Moab like a
harp, my inmost being for Kir-heres.
All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see ye, when he lifteth up an
ensign on the mountains; and when he bloweth a
trumpet,

hear it.
The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the
heart of Egypt shall
melt in the midst of it.

tremble before Him, and the
hearts of the Egyptians will
melt within them.

The workers in cloth will be
dejected, and all the
hired workers will be sick at
heart.

smite Egypt: he shall
smite and
heal it: and they shall return even to the LORD, and he shall be intreated of them, and shall
heal them.
And the LORD will strike Egypt with a plague; He will strike them but
heal them. They will turn to the LORD, and He will
hear their prayers and
heal them.
Therefore are my loins filled with pain: pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman that travaileth: I was bowed down at the hearing of it; I was dismayed at the seeing of it.

anguish. Pain grips me, like the pains of a woman in labor. I am
bewildered to
hear, I am dismayed to see.
O my
threshing, and the corn of my floor: that which I have
heard of the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared unto you.

threshing floor, I tell you what I have
heard from the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel.

purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.

hearing: “Until your dying day, this sin of yours will never be
atoned for,” says the Lord GOD of Hosts.
For they hear: “Order on order, order on order, line on line, line on line; a little here, a little there.”

wherewith ye may cause the

repose.” But they would not
listen.
Wherefore
hear the word of the LORD, ye
scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
Therefore hear the word of the LORD, O scoffers who rule this people in Jerusalem.

mock, or your
shackles will become heavier. Indeed, I have
heard from the Lord GOD of Hosts a decree of destruction against the whole land.
Give ye ear, and
hear my voice;
hearken, and
hear my speech.
Listen and
hear my voice. Pay attention and
hear what I say.
Yet I will distress
Ariel, and there shall be
heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be unto me as
Ariel.
Wherefore the Lord said,
Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their
heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the
precept of men:
Therefore the Lord said: “These people draw near to Me with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me. Their worship of Me is but rules taught by men.
And in that day shall the
deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness.

rebellious people, lying children, children that will not
hear the law of the LORD:

And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters’ vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not
spare: so that there shall not be found in the
bursting of it a
sherd to take fire from the
hearth, or to take water
withal out of the pit.
For the people shall dwell in
Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt
weep no more: he will be very
gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall
hear it, he will answer thee.

Zion who dwell in Jerusalem, you will
weep no more. He will surely be
gracious when you cry for help; when He
hears, He will answer you.

Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy
solemnity is kept; and
gladness of
heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel.

heart will
rejoice like one who walks to the music of a
flute, going up to the mountain of the LORD, to the Rock of Israel.

hear will
listen.
The
heart also of the
rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.
For the
vile person will speak
villany, and his
heart will work iniquity, to
practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the
hungry, and he will cause the drink of the
thirsty to fail.
Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye careless daughters; give ear unto my speech.

He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;
He who walks righteously and speaks with
sincerity, who refuses gain from
extortion, whose hand never takes a
bribe, who stops his ears against
murderous plots and shuts his eyes
tightly against evil—
Thine
heart shall
meditate terror. Where is the
scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?
Your mind will
ponder the former terror: “Where is he who
tallies? Where is he who weighs? Where is he who counts the towers?”
Come near, ye nations, to
hear; and
hearken, ye people: let the earth
hear, and all that is therein; the world, and all things that come forth of it.

hear, and all that fills it, the world and all that springs from it.

vengeance. With divine
retribution He will come to save you.”
Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah unto
Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, unto thy servants in the
Syrian language; for we understand it: and speak not to us in the Jews’ language, in the ears of the people that are on the wall.
Then Eliakim, Shebna, and Joah said to the
Rabshakeh, “Please speak to your servants in
Aramaic, since we understand it. Do not speak to us in Hebrew in the
hearing of the people on the wall.”
Then
Rabshakeh stood, and
cried with a loud voice in the Jews’ language, and said,
Hear ye the words of the great king, the king of Assyria.
Then the
Rabshakeh stood and called out loudly in Hebrew: “
Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria!
Hearken not to
Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make an agreement with me by a present, and come out to me: and eat ye every one of his vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his own
cistern;
Do not
listen to
Hezekiah, for this is what the king of Assyria says: Make peace with me and come out to me. Then every one of you will eat from his own vine and his own fig tree, and drink water from his own
cistern,
And it came to pass, when king
Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with
sackcloth, and went into the house of the LORD.
On
hearing this report, King
Hezekiah tore his clothes, put on
sackcloth, and entered the house of the LORD.
It may be the LORD thy God will
hear the words of
Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God, and will reprove the words which the LORD thy God hath
heard: wherefore lift up thy prayer for the
remnant that is left.
Perhaps the LORD your God will
hear the words of the
Rabshakeh, whom his master the king of Assyria has sent to
defy the living God, and He will
rebuke him for the words that the LORD your God has
heard. Therefore lift up a prayer for the
remnant that still survives.”
And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say unto your master, Thus saith the LORD, Be not afraid of the words that thou hast
heard,
wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have
blasphemed me.
who replied, “Tell your master that this is what the LORD says: ‘Do not be afraid of the words you have
heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have
blasphemed Me.
Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a rumour, and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.
Behold, I will put a spirit in him so that he will
hear a
rumor and return to his own land, where I will cause him to fall by the sword.’”
When the
Rabshakeh heard that the king of Assyria had left
Lachish, he withdrew and found the king fighting against
Libnah.
And he
heard say concerning Tirhakah king of
Ethiopia, He is come forth to make war with thee. And when he
heard it, he sent messengers to
Hezekiah, saying,
Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands by destroying them utterly; and shalt thou be delivered?
Surely you have
heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the other countries,
devoting them to destruction. Will you then be
spared?
Incline thine ear, O LORD, and
hear; open thine eyes, O LORD, and see: and
hear all the words of
Sennacherib, which hath sent to reproach the living God.
Incline Your ear, O LORD, and
hear; open Your eyes, O LORD, and see.
Listen to all the words that
Sennacherib has sent to
defy the living God.
Hast thou not
heard long ago, how I have done it; and of ancient times, that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste defenced cities into
ruinous heaps.
Have you not
heard? Long ago I ordained it; in days of old I
planned it. Now I have brought it to pass, that you should
crush fortified cities into piles of
rubble.
And said, Remember now, O LORD, I
beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect
heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And
Hezekiah wept sore.
saying, “Please, O LORD, remember how I have walked before You faithfully and with wholehearted devotion; I have done what was good in Your sight.” And
Hezekiah wept bitterly.
Go, and say to
Hezekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have
heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years.
“Go and tell
Hezekiah that this is what the LORD, the God of your father David, says: ‘I have
heard your prayer; I have seen your tears. Behold, I will add fifteen years to your life.
