For
the grave cannot praise
thee, death can not
celebrate thee:
they that go down into
the pit cannot hope for thy truth.
For
Sheol cannot
thank You; Death cannot praise You. Those who descend to
the Pit cannot hope for Your faithfulness.
The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.
The living, only
the living, can
thank You, as I do
today; fathers will tell
their children about Your faithfulness.
The LORD was ready to save me: therefore we will sing my songs to the stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of the LORD.
The LORD will save me; we will play songs on stringed instruments all the days of our lives in the house of the LORD.
For Isaiah had said, Let
them take a
lump of figs, and lay it for a
plaister upon
the boil, and he shall recover.
Now Isaiah had said, “Prepare a
lump of pressed figs and apply it to
the boil, and he will recover.”
Hezekiah also had said, What is
the sign that I shall go up to
the house of
the LORD?
And
Hezekiah had asked, “What will be
the sign that I will go up to
the house of
the LORD?”
At that time Merodach-baladan,
the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to
Hezekiah: for he had heard that he had been sick, and was recovered.
At that time Merodach-baladan son of Baladan king of Babylon sent letters and a gift to
Hezekiah, for he had heard about
Hezekiah’s illness and recovery.
And
Hezekiah was
glad of
them, and shewed
them the house of his precious things,
the silver, and
the gold, and
the spices, and
the precious
ointment, and all
the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasures:
there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that
Hezekiah shewed
them not.
And
Hezekiah welcomed the envoys
gladly and showed
them what was in his
treasure house—
the silver,
the gold,
the spices, and
the precious oil, as well as his entire
armory—all that was found in his storehouses.
There was nothing in his palace or in all his dominion that
Hezekiah did not show
them.
Then came Isaiah
the prophet unto king
Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said
these men? and from whence came
they unto
thee? And
Hezekiah said,
They are come from a far country unto me, even from Babylon.
Then the prophet Isaiah went to King
Hezekiah and asked, “Where did those men come from, and what did
they say to you?” “
They came to me from a distant land,”
Hezekiah replied, “from Babylon.”
Then said he, What have
they seen in thine house? And
Hezekiah answered, All that is in mine house have
they seen:
there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed
them.
“What have
they seen in your palace?” Isaiah asked. “
They have seen everything in my palace,” answered
Hezekiah. “
There is nothing among my treasures that I did not show
them.”
Then said Isaiah to
Hezekiah, Hear
the word of
the LORD of hosts:
Then Isaiah said to
Hezekiah, “Hear
the word of
the LORD of Hosts:
Behold, the days come, that all that is in thine house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried to Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the LORD.
The time will surely come when everything in your palace and all that your fathers have stored up until this day will be carried off to Babylon. Nothing will be left, says the LORD.
And of thy sons that shall issue from
thee, which thou shalt
beget, shall
they take away; and
they shall be eunuchs in
the palace of
the king of Babylon.
And some of your descendants, your own flesh and blood, will be taken away to be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.”
Then said
Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good is
the word of
the LORD which thou hast spoken. He said moreover, For
there shall be peace and truth in my days.
But
Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “
The word of
the LORD that you have spoken is good.” For he thought, “At least
there will be peace and security in my lifetime.”
Speak ye
comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is
pardoned: for she hath received of
the LORD’S hand double for all her sins.
“Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and
proclaim to her that her forced labor has been completed; her iniquity has been
pardoned. For she has received from
the hand of
the LORD double for all her sins.”
The voice of him that crieth in
the wilderness, Prepare ye
the way of
the LORD, make straight in
the desert a
highway for our God.
A voice of one calling: “Prepare
the way for
the LORD in
the wilderness; make a straight
highway for our God in
the desert.
Every valley shall be
exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and
the crooked shall be made straight, and
the rough places plain:
Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill made low;
the uneven ground will become smooth, and
the rugged land a plain.
And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
And the glory of the LORD will be revealed, and all humanity together will see it. For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.”
The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all
the goodliness thereof is as
the flower of
the field:
A voice says, “Cry out!” And I asked, “What should I cry out?” “All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flowers of the field.
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.
The grass
withers and
the flowers fall when
the breath of
the LORD blows on
them; indeed,
the people are grass.
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.
The grass
withers and
the flowers fall, but
the word of our God stands
forever.”
O
Zion, that bringest good
tidings, get
thee up into
the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good

herald of good news. Raise your voice loudly, O Jerusalem,

bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.

shepherd; He gathers
the lambs in His arms and carries
them close to His heart. He gently leads

Who hath measured
the waters in
the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with
the span, and
comprehended the dust of
the earth in a measure, and
weighed the mountains in scales, and
the hills in a balance?
Who has measured

the heavens with
the span of his hand? Who has held

Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counsellor hath taught him?

counselor?

instructed him, and taught him in
the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him
the way of understanding?
Whom did He
consult to
enlighten Him, and who taught Him
the paths of justice? Who imparted knowledge to Him and showed Him
the way of understanding?
Behold,
the nations are as a drop of a
bucket, and are counted as
the small dust of
the balance: behold, he taketh up
the isles as a very little thing.
Surely
the nations are like a drop in a
bucket;
they are considered a
speck of dust on
the scales; He lifts up
the islands like fine dust.
And
Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor
the beasts
thereof sufficient for a burnt offering.

the nations are as nothing before Him; He regards
them as nothingness and
emptiness.
To whom
then will ye
liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him?
To whom will you
liken God? To what image will you compare Him?

the circle of

the inhabitants
thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out
the heavens as a
curtain, and spreadeth
them out as a tent to dwell in:

yea,
they shall not be sown:
yea,
their stock shall not take root in
the earth: and he shall also blow upon
them, and
they shall wither, and
the whirlwind shall take
them away as
stubble.
No sooner are
they planted, no sooner are
they sown, no sooner have
their stems taken root in
the ground, than He blows on
them and
they wither, and a
whirlwind sweeps
them away like
stubble.

then will ye

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?

the LORD, and my claim is
ignored by my God”?

the ends of
the earth, fainteth not, neither is
weary?

Do you not know? Have you not heard?

the everlasting God,

the faint and increases
the strength of
the weak.

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

He pursued them, and passed safely; even by the way that he had not gone with his feet.
He pursues them, going on safely, hardly touching the path with his feet.

thresh the mountains and
crush them, and reduce
the hills to
chaff.

them away, and
the whirlwind shall
scatter them: and thou shalt
rejoice in
the LORD, and shalt glory in
the Holy One of Israel.

gale will
scatter them. But you will
rejoice in
the LORD; you will glory in
the Holy One of Israel.

the LORD will hear
them, I
the God of Israel will not
forsake them.

pool of water, and

the cedar,
the shittah tree, and
the myrtle, and
the oil tree; I will set in

the box tree together:

them shew the former things, what
they be, that we may consider
them, and know
the latter end of
them; or declare us things for to come.
“Let
them come and tell us what will happen. Tell
the former things, so that we may
reflect on

hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods:
yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together.

the things that are to come, so that we may know that you are gods.

there is none that declareth,
yea,

Who has declared this from
the beginning, so that we may know, and from times past, so that we may say: ‘He was right’? No one
announced it, no one
foretold it, no one heard your words.
The first shall say to
Zion, Behold, behold
them: and I will give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good
tidings.
I was
the first to tell
Zion: ‘Look, here
they are!’ And I gave to Jerusalem a
herald of good news.
For I
beheld, and
there was no man; even among
them, and
there was no counsellor, that, when I asked of
them, could answer a word.
When I look,
there is no one;
there is no
counselor among
them; when I ask
them,
they have nothing to say.
Behold,

their images are as empty as
the wind.

uphold; mine
elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to
the Gentiles.
“Here is My Servant, whom I
uphold, My Chosen One, in whom My soul delights. I will put My Spirit on Him, and He will bring justice to
the nations.
He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
He will not cry out or raise His voice, nor make His voice heard in the streets.

bruised reed shall he not break, and
the smoking flax shall he not
quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.
He will not grow weak or discouraged before He has established justice on the earth. In His law the islands will put their hope.”

the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to

the former things have happened, and now I declare new things. Before
they spring forth I
proclaim them to you.”

Let
the wilderness and
the cities
thereof lift up
their voice,
the villages that
Kedar doth inhabit: let
the inhabitants of
the rock sing, let
them shout from
the top of
the mountains.
Let
the desert and its cities raise
their voices; let
the villages of
Kedar cry
aloud. Let
the people of Sela sing for joy; let
them cry out from
the mountaintops.
Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands.
Let them give glory to the LORD and declare His praise in the islands.
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:
I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools.

the mountains and hills and dry up all
their vegetation. I will turn
the rivers into dry land and
drain the marshes.
And I will bring
the blind by a way that
they knew not; I will lead
them in paths that
they have not known: I will make darkness light before
them, and
crooked things straight.
These things will I do unto
them, and not
forsake them.
I will lead
the blind by a way
they did not know; I will guide
them on unfamiliar paths. I will turn darkness into light before
them and rough places into level ground.
These things I will do for
them, and I will not
forsake them.
They shall be turned back,
they shall be greatly
ashamed, that trust in
graven images, that say to
the molten images, Ye are our gods.
But those who trust in idols and say to
molten images, ‘You are our gods!’ will be turned back in utter shame.
Who is blind, but my servant? or
deaf, as my
messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as
the LORD’S servant?
Who is blind but My servant, or
deaf like
the messenger I am sending? Who is blind like My covenant
partner, or blind like
the servant of
the LORD?
Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not.
Though seeing many things, you do not keep watch. Though your ears are open, you do not hear.”

magnify the law, and make it honourable.
The LORD was pleased, for
the sake of His righteousness, to

But this is a people
robbed and
spoiled;
they are all of
them snared in holes, and
they are
hid in prison houses:
they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a
spoil, and none saith, Restore.
Who among you will give ear to this? who will
hearken and hear for
the time to come?
Who among you will pay attention to this? Who will
listen and obey
hereafter?
Who gave Jacob for a
spoil, and Israel to
the robbers? did not
the LORD, he against whom we have
sinned? for
they would not walk in his ways, neither were
they obedient unto his law.
Who gave Jacob up for
spoil, and Israel to
the plunderers? Was it not
the LORD, against whom we have
sinned?
They were unwilling to walk in His ways, and
they would not obey His law.
Therefore he hath poured upon him
the fury of his anger, and
the strength of battle: and it hath set him on fire round about, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart.
So He poured out on
them His
furious anger and
the fierceness of battle. It
enveloped them in flames, but
they did not understand; it consumed
them, but
they did not take it to heart.
But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.
Now this is what the LORD says— He who created you, O Jacob, and He who formed you, O Israel: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine!
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.
For I am
the LORD thy God,
the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy
ransom,
Ethiopia and Seba for
thee.
For I am
the LORD your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your
Savior; I give Egypt for your
ransom,
Cush and Seba in your place.
Since thou
wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved
thee:
therefore will I give men for
thee, and people for thy life.
Because you are precious and honored in My sight, and because I love you, I will give men in exchange for you and nations in place of your life.
Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;
Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east and gather you from the west.
I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;
I will say to
the north, ‘Give
them up!’ and to
the south, ‘Do not hold
them back!’ Bring My sons from
afar, and My daughters from
the ends of
the earth—
Bring forth
the blind people that have eyes, and
the deaf that have ears.
Bring out a people who have eyes but are blind, and who have ears but are
deaf.
