2
The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2
And it shall come to pass in the last days,
that
the mountain of the LORD’S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
3
And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
4
And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
5
O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.
6
Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and
are
soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers.
7
Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither
is there any
end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither
is there any
end of their chariots:
8
Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:
9
And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not.
10
Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty.
11
The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
12
For the day of the LORD of hosts
shall be
upon every
one that is
proud and lofty, and upon every
one that is
lifted up; and he shall be brought low:
13
And upon all the cedars of Lebanon,
that are
high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,
14
And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills
that are
lifted up,
15
And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall,
16
And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures.
17
And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
18
And the idols he shall utterly abolish.
19
And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
20
In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made
each one
for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;
21
To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
22
Cease ye from man, whose breath
is
in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?
3
For, behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water,
2
The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,
3
The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counsellor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.
4
And I will give children
to be
their princes, and babes shall rule over them.
5
And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.
6
When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father,
saying,
Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and
let
this ruin
be
under thy hand:
7
In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be an healer; for in my house
is
neither bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of the people.
8
For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings
are
against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
9
The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide
it
not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.
10
Say ye to the righteous, that
it shall be
well
with him:
for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
11
Woe unto the wicked!
it shall be
ill
with him:
for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
12
As for
my people, children
are
their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause
thee
to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.
13
The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people.
14
The LORD will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor
is
in your houses.
15
What mean ye
that
ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the LORD GOD of hosts.
16
Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing
as
they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:
17
Therefore the LORD will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will discover their secret parts.
18
In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of
their
tinkling ornaments
about their feet,
and
their
cauls, and
their
round tires like the moon,
19
The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,
20
The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings,
21
The rings, and nose jewels,
22
The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins,
23
The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails.
24
And it shall come to pass,
that
instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth;
and
burning instead of beauty.
25
Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.
26
And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she
being
desolate shall sit upon the ground.
4
And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.
2
In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth
shall be
excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel.
3
And it shall come to pass,
that he that is
left in Zion, and
he that
remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy,
even
every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem:
4
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.
5
And the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory
shall be
a defence.
6
And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain.
5
Now will I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill:
2
And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.
3
And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.
4
What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?
5
And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up;
and
break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down:
6
And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
7
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.
8
Woe unto them that join house to house,
that
lay field to field, till
there be
no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth!
9
In mine ears
said
the LORD of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate,
even
great and fair, without inhabitant.
10
Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed of an homer shall yield an ephah.
11
Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning,
that
they may follow strong drink; that continue until night,
till
wine inflame them!
12
And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hands.
13
Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because
they have
no knowledge: and their honourable men
are
famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.
14
Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.
15
And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled:
16
But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness.
17
Then shall the lambs feed after their manner, and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eat.
18
Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope:
19
That say, Let him make speed,
and
hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know
it!
20
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21
Woe unto
them that are
wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
22
Woe unto
them that are
mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
23
Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
24
Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff,
so
their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25
Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases
were
torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand
is
stretched out still.
26
And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly:
27
None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:
28
Whose arrows
are
sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses’ hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind:
29
Their roaring
shall be
like a lion, they shall roar like young lions: yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry
it
away safe, and none shall deliver
it.
30
And in that day they shall 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.
6
In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
2
Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.
3
And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy,
is
the LORD of hosts: the whole earth
is
full of his glory.
4
And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
5
Then said I, Woe
is
me! for I am undone; because I
am
a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.
6
Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand,
which
he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:
7
And he laid
it
upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.
8
Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here
am
I; send me.
9
And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.
10
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.
11
Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,
12
And the LORD have removed men far away, and
there be
a great forsaking in the midst of the land.
13
But yet in it
shall be
a tenth, and
it
shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast
their leaves: so
the holy seed
shall be
the substance thereof.
7
And it came to pass in the days of 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.
2
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.
3
Then said the LORD unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shear-jashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller’s field;
4
And say unto him, Take 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.
5
Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have taken evil counsel against thee, saying,
6
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:
7
Thus saith the Lord GOD, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass.
8
For the head of Syria
is
Damascus, and the head of Damascus
is
Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people.
9
And the head of Ephraim
is
Samaria, and the head of Samaria
is
Remaliah’s son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established.
10
Moreover the LORD spake again unto Ahaz, saying,
11
Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.
12
But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the LORD.
13
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?
14
Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
15
Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.
16
For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings.
17
The LORD shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father’s house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah;
even
the king of Assyria.
18
And it shall come to pass in that day,
that
the LORD shall hiss for the fly that
is
in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that
is
in the land of Assyria.
19
And they shall come, and shall rest all of them in the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and upon all thorns, and upon all bushes.
20
In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired,
namely,
by them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria, the head, and the hair of the feet: and it shall also consume the beard.
21
And it shall come to pass in that day,
that
a man shall nourish a young cow, and two sheep;
22
And it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk
that
they shall give he shall eat butter: for butter and honey shall every one eat that is left in the land.
23
And it shall come to pass in that day,
that
every place shall be, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings, it shall
even
be for briers and thorns.
24
With arrows and with bows shall
men
come thither; because all the land shall become briers and thorns.
25
And
on
all hills that shall be digged with the mattock, there shall not come thither the fear of briers and thorns: but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of lesser cattle.
8
Moreover the LORD said unto me, Take thee a great roll, and write in it with a man’s pen concerning Maher-shalal-hash-baz.
2
And I took unto me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.
3
And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare a son. Then said the LORD to me, Call his name Maher-shalal-hash-baz.
4
For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father, and my mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria.
5
The LORD spake also unto me again, saying,
6
Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah’s son;
7
Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many,
even
the king of Assyria, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his banks:
8
And he shall pass through Judah; he shall 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.
9
Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces.
10
Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God
is
with us.
11
For the LORD spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying,
12
Say ye not, A confederacy, to all
them to
whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.
13
Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and
let
him
be
your fear, and
let
him
be
your dread.
14
And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15
And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.
16
Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.
17
And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
18
Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me
are
for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.
19
And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?
20
To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word,
it is
because
there is
no light in them.
21
And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward.
22
And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and
they shall be
driven to darkness.
