Isaiah 9:8-21 The Lord sent a word into Jacob , and it hath lighted upon Israel.

8 H136 The Lord H7971 sent [H8804] H1697 a word H3290 into Jacob H5307 , and it hath lighted [H8804] H3478 upon Israel.

9 H5971 And all the people H3045 shall know [H8804] H669 , even Ephraim H3427 and the inhabitant [H8802] H8111 of Samaria H559 , that say [H8800] H1346 in the pride H1433 and stoutness H3824 of heart,

10 H3843 The bricks H5307 are fallen down [H8804] H1129 , but we will build [H8799] H1496 with hewn stones H8256 : the sycomores H1438 are cut down [H8795] H2498 , but we will change [H8686] H730 them into cedars.

11 H3068 Therefore the LORD H7682 shall set up [H8762] H6862 the adversaries H7526 of Rezin H5526 against him, and join H341 his enemies [H8802] H5526 together [H8770] ;

12 H758 The Syrians H6924 before H6430 , and the Philistines H268 behind H398 ; and they shall devour [H8799] H3478 Israel H6310 with open mouth H639 . For all this his anger H7725 is not turned away [H8804] H3027 , but his hand H5186 is stretched out still [H8803] .

13 H5971 For the people H7725 turneth [H8804] H5221 not unto him that smiteth [H8688] H1875 them, neither do they seek [H8804] H3068 the LORD H6635 of hosts.

14 H3068 Therefore the LORD H3772 will cut off [H8686] H3478 from Israel H7218 head H2180 and tail H3712 , branch H100 and rush H259 , in one H3117 day.

15 H2205 The ancient H6440 and honourable H5375 [H8803] H1931 , he H7218 is the head H5030 ; and the prophet H3384 that teacheth [H8688] H8267 lies H2180 , he is the tail.

16 H833 For the leaders [H8764] H5971 of this people H8582 cause them to err [H8688] H833 ; and they that are led [H8794] H1104 of them are destroyed [H8794] .

17 H136 Therefore the Lord H8055 shall have no joy [H8799] H970 in their young men H7355 , neither shall have mercy [H8762] H3490 on their fatherless H490 and widows H2611 : for every one is an hypocrite H7489 and an evildoer [H8688] H6310 , and every mouth H1696 speaketh [H8802] H5039 folly H639 . For all this his anger H7725 is not turned away [H8804] H3027 , but his hand H5186 is stretched out still [H8803] .

18 H7564 For wickedness H1197 burneth [H8804] H784 as the fire H398 : it shall devour [H8799] H8068 the briers H7898 and thorns H3341 , and shall kindle [H8799] H5442 in the thickets H3293 of the forest H55 , and they shall mount up [H8691] H1348 like the lifting up H6227 of smoke.

19 H5678 Through the wrath H3068 of the LORD H6635 of hosts H776 is the land H6272 darkened [H8738] H5971 , and the people H3980 shall be as the fuel H784 of the fire H376 : no man H2550 shall spare [H8799] H251 his brother.

20 H1504 And he shall snatch [H8799] H3225 on the right hand H7457 , and be hungry H398 ; and he shall eat [H8799] H8040 on the left hand H7646 , and they shall not be satisfied [H8804] H398 : they shall eat [H8799] H376 every man H1320 the flesh H2220 of his own arm:

21 H4519 Manasseh H669 , Ephraim H669 ; and Ephraim H4519 , Manasseh H3162 : and they together H3063 shall be against Judah H639 . For all this his anger H7725 is not turned away [H8804] H3027 , but his hand H5186 is stretched out still [H8803] .

KJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel. ⁹ And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in the pride and stoutness of heart, ¹⁰ The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars. ¹¹ Therefore the LORD shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and join his enemies together; ¹² The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. ¹³ For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, neither do they seek the LORD of hosts. ¹⁴ Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day. ¹⁵ The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail. ¹⁶ For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed. ¹⁷ Therefore the LORD shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. ¹⁸ For wickedness burneth as the fire: it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke. ¹⁹ Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall spare his brother. ²⁰ And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm: ²¹ Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh: and they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
