loot us and the lot of those who
plunder us.

til the Assyrian founded it for them that dwell in the wilderness: they set up the towers
thereof, they raised up the palaces

desolate, and the
habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness:
there shall the
calf feed, and

compassion on them, and their
Creator shows them no favor.

precept,

precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and

stumbling backward and will be injured, ensnared, and captured.

thereof,
doth he not cast abroad the
fitches, and
scatter the
cummin, and cast in the principal wheat and the appointed barley and
rie in their place?

sow caraway and
scatter cumin? He plants wheat in rows and barley in plots, and
rye within its border.

Ariel.

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:

vanish, and the intelligence of the intelligent will be hidden.”

despise this word, and trust in oppression and

bulge in a high wall, whose
collapse will come suddenly— in an instant!

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.
But ye said, No; for we will
flee upon horses;
therefore shall ye
flee: and, We will
ride upon the swift;

flee on horses.”
Therefore you will
flee! “We will
ride swift horses,” but your pursuers will be faster.

gracious unto you, and

thereof is heavy: his lips are full of
indignation, and his tongue as a
devouring fire:

afar, with burning anger and dense smoke. His lips are full of
fury, and His tongue is like a
consuming fire.
And his breath, as an 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.
His breath is like a
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
Tophet is ordained of old;
yea, for the king it is prepared; he hath made it deep and large: the pile
thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of
brimstone,
doth kindle it.

pyre is deep and wide, with
plenty of fire and wood. The breath of the LORD, like a
torrent of burning sulfur, sets it
ablaze.
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.

Zion, the city of our
solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet
habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes
thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords
thereof be broken.

Zion, the city of our appointed feasts. Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a peaceful pasture, a tent that does not
wander; its tent pegs will not be pulled up, nor will any of its cords be broken.
But
there the glorious LORD will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no
galley with oars, neither shall
gallant ship pass
thereby.

there the
Majestic One, our LORD, will be for us a place of rivers and wide canals, where no
galley with oars will row, and no
majestic vessel will pass.
And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell
therein shall be
forgiven their iniquity.

Zion will say, “I am sick.” The people who dwell
there will be
forgiven of iniquity.
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.

listen; pay attention, O peoples. Let the earth hear, and all that fills it, the world and all that springs from it.
And the streams
thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust
thereof into
brimstone, and the land
thereof shall become burning pitch.

It shall not be
quenched night nor day; the smoke
thereof shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it for ever and ever.

desolate; no one will ever again pass through it.

proclaim a king, and all her princes will come to nothing.
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.
The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the
satyr shall cry to his fellow; the
screech owl also shall rest
there, and find for herself a place of rest.
The desert creatures will meet with
hyenas, and one wild goat will call to another.
There the night creature will settle and find her place of
repose.
There shall the great
owl make her nest, and lay, and
hatch, and gather under her shadow:
there shall the vultures also be gathered, every one with her
mate.
There the
owl will make her nest; she will lay and
hatch her eggs and gather her
brood under her shadow. Even
there the birds of prey will gather, each with its
mate.
And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it unto them by line: they shall possess it for ever, from generation to generation shall they dwell therein.
He has
allotted their portion; His hand has distributed it by measure. They will possess it
forever; they will dwell in it from generation to generation.
The
parched ground will become a
pool, the
thirsty land springs of water. In the
haunt where jackals once lay,
there will be grass and reeds and
papyrus.
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.

there, nor any
ravenous beast shall go up
thereon, it shall not be found
there; but the redeemed shall walk

there, but the redeemed will walk upon it.

And they said unto him, Thus saith
Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of
rebuke, and of
blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, and
there is not strength to bring forth.
to tell him, “This is what
Hezekiah says:
Today is a day of distress,
rebuke, and disgrace; for children have come to the point of birth, but
there is no strength to deliver them.
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.”

By thy servants hast thou reproached the Lord, and hast said, By the multitude of my
chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of
Lebanon; and I will cut down the tall cedars
thereof, and the choice
fir trees
thereof: and I will enter into the height of his border, and the forest of his
Carmel.
Through your servants you have
taunted the Lord, and you have said: “With my many
chariots I have ascended to the heights of the mountains, to the remote peaks of
Lebanon. I have cut down its tallest cedars, the finest of its
cypresses. I have reached its
farthest heights, the densest of its forests.
Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded: they were as the grass of the field, and as the green
herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as corn blasted before it be grown up.
Therefore their inhabitants, devoid of power, are dismayed and
ashamed. They are like plants in the field, tender green shoots, grass on the rooftops,
scorched before it is grown.
Because thy
rage against me, and thy
tumult, is come up into mine ears,
therefore will I put my hook in thy nose, and my
bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.
Because your
rage and
arrogance against Me have reached My ears, I will put My hook in your nose and My
bit in your mouth; I will send you back the way you came.’
And this shall be a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat this year such as groweth of itself; and the second year that which springeth of the same: and in the third year
sow ye, and
reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit
thereof.

Hezekiah: This year you will eat what grows on its own, and in the second year what springs from the same. But in the third year you will
sow and
reap; you will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an
arrow there nor come before it with shields, nor cast a bank against it.

arrow into it. He will not come before it with a shield or build up a siege
ramp against it.
Then the angel of the LORD went forth, and
smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and
fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.
Then the angel of the LORD went out and struck down 185,000 men in the camp of the Assyrians. When the people got up the next morning, there were all the dead bodies!
So
Sennacherib king of Assyria broke camp and withdrew. He returned to
Nineveh and stayed
there.

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 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
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.”
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.
And
Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts

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

curtain, and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.
Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the
everlasting God, the LORD, the
Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is
weary?
there is no searching of his understanding.
Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the
everlasting God, the
Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow
tired or
weary; His understanding is beyond searching out.
Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.
I brought you from the ends of the earth and called you from its
farthest corners. I said, ‘You are My servant.’ I have chosen and not rejected you.
When the poor and
needy seek water, and
there is none, and their tongue faileth for
thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not
forsake them.

parched with
thirst. I, the LORD, will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not
forsake them.
Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may know? and
beforetime, that we may say, He is righteous?
yea,
there is none that sheweth,
yea,
there is none that declareth,
yea,
there is none that heareth your words.
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.
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;

counselor among them; when I ask them, they have nothing to say.
Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
This is what God the LORD says— He who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and its offspring, who gives breath to the people on it and life to those who walk in it:
Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.
Sing to the LORD a new song— His praise from the ends of the earth— you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it, you islands, and all who dwell in them.
