Isaiah 48 Cross References - Brenton

¹ Hear these words, ye house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and have come forth out of Juda, who swear by the name of the Lord God of Israel, making mention of it, but not with truth, nor with righteousness; ² maintaining also the name of the holy city, and staying themselves on the God of Israel: the Lord of hosts is his name.

⁹ (OMITTED TEXT)

³ And I will bring thee into a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up with thee, because thou art a stiff-necked people, lest I consume thee by the way.

⁵ For the Lord said to the children of Israel, Ye are a stiff-necked people; take heed lest I bring on you another plague, and destroy you: now then put off your glorious apparel, and your ornaments, and I will shew thee what I will do to thee.

¹⁶ Therefore ye shall circumcise the hardness of your heart, and ye shall not harden your neck.

²⁷ For I know thy provocation, and thy stiff neck; for yet during my life with you at this day, ye have been provoking in your conduct toward God: how shall ye not also be so after my death?

¹⁴ But they hearkened not, and made their neck harder than the neck of their fathers.

⁸ And now harden not your hearts, as your fathers did: give glory to the Lord God, and enter into his sanctuary, which he has sanctified for ever: and serve the Lord your God, and he shall turn away his fierce anger from you.

¹ A reprover is better than a stiff-necked man: for when the latter is suddenly set on fire, there shall be no remedy.

¹² Hearken to me, ye senseless ones, that are far from righteousness:

³ And thou didst retain many shepherds for a stumbling-block to thyself: thou hadst a whore's face, thou didst become shameless toward all.

³ O Lord, thine eyes are upon faithfulness: thou hast scourged them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them; but they would not receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; and they would not return.

²⁶ but they hearkened not to me, and their ear gave no heed; and they made their neck harder than their fathers.

⁸ I am the Lord God: that is my name: I will not give my glory to another, nor my praises to graven images. ⁹ Behold, the ancient things have come to pass, and so will the new things which I tell you: yea, before I tell them they are made known to you.

⁷ Who is like me? let him stand, and call, and declare, and prepare for me from the time that I made man for ever; and let them tell you the things that are coming before they arrive.

¹⁰ telling beforehand the latter events before they come to pass, and they are accomplished together: and I said, all my counsel shall stand, and I will do all things that I have planned:

^{15 (51:15)} Then all the men that knew that their wives burned incense, and all the women, a great multitude, and all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathura, answered Jeremias, saying, ^{16 (51:16)} As for the word which thou hast spoken to us in the name of the Lord, we will not hearken to thee. ^{17 (51:17)} For we will surely perform every word that shall proceed out of our mouth, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour drink-offerings to her, as wee and our fathers have done, and our kings and princes, in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem: and so we were filled with bread, and were well, and saw no evils. ^{18 (51:18)} But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven, we have all been brought low, and have been consumed by sword and by famine.

^{9 (39:9)} I have preached righteousness in the great congregation; lo! I will not refrain my lips; O Lord, thou knowest my righteousness. ^{10 (39:10)} I have not hid thy truth within my heart, and I have declared thy salvation; I have not hid thy mercy and thy truth from the great congregation.

^{15 (70:15)} My mouth shall declare thy righteousness openly, and thy salvation all the day; for I am not acquainted with the affairs of men. ^{16 (70:16)} I will go on in the might of the Lord: O Lord, I will make mention of thy righteousness only. ^{17 (70:17)} O God, thou hast taught me from my youth, and until now will I declare thy wonders; ^{18 (70:18)} even until I am old and advanced in years. O God, forsake me not; until I shall have declared thine arm to all the generation that is to come:

^{3 (77:3)} All which we have heard and known, and our fathers have declared to us. ^{4 (77:4)} They were not hid from their children to a second generations; the fathers declaring the praises of the Lord, and his mighty acts, and his wonders which he wrought. ^{5 (77:5)} And he raised up a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, to make it known to their children: ^{6 (77:6)} that another generation might know, even the sons which should be born; and they should arise and declare them to their children.

^{43 (106:43)} Who is wise, and will observe these things, and understand the mercies of the Lord?

^{13 (118:13)} With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.

^{4 (144:4)} Generation after generation shall praise thy works, and tell of thy power. ^{5 (144:5)} And they shall speak of the glorious majesty of thy holiness, and recount thy wonders.

¹⁰ Hear, ye that are left, and ye that are in pain, hear what things I have heard of the Lord of hosts which the God of Israel has declared to us.

⁸ and I have brought forth the blind people; for their eyes are alike blind, and they that have ears are deaf. ⁹ All the nations are gathered together, and princes shall be gathered out of them: who will declare these things? or who will declare to you things from the beginning? let them bring forth their witnesses, and be justified; and let them hear, and declare the truth. ¹⁰ Be ye my witnesses, and I too am a witness, saith the Lord God, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know, and believe, and understand that I an he: before me there was no other God, and after me there shall be none.

¹⁹ Behold, I will do new things, which shall presently spring forth, and ye shall know them: and I will make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the dry land.

³¹ Hear ye the word of the Lord: thus saith the Lord, Have I been a wilderness or a dry land to Israel? wherefore has my people said, We will not be ruled over, and will not come to thee any more?

^{2 (27:2)} Proclaim ye among the Gentiles, and cause the tidings to be heard, and suppress them not: say ye, Babylon is taken, Belus is confounded; the fearless, the luxurious Maerodach is delivered up.

⁸ And I heard, but I understood not: and I said, O Lord, what will be the end of these things? ⁹ And he said, Go, Daniel: for the words are closed and sealed up to the time of the end. ¹⁰ Many must be tested, and thoroughly whitened, and tried with fire, and sanctified; but the transgressors shall transgress: and none of the transgressors shall understand; but the wise shall understand. ¹¹ And from the time of the removal of the perpetual sacrifice, when the abomination of desolation shall be set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. ¹² Blessed is he that waits, and comes to the thousand three hundred and thirty-five days. ¹³ But go thou, and rest; for there are yet days and seasons to the fulfillment of the end; and thou shalt stand in thy lot at the end of the days.

⁶ Shall the trumpet sound in the city, and the people not be alarmed? shall there be evil in a city which the Lord has not wrought?

⁹ The Lord's voice shall be proclaimed in the city, and he shall save those that fear his name: hear, O tribe; and who shall order the city?

⁷ Remember, forget not, how much thou provokedst the Lord thy God in the wilderness: from the day that ye came forth out of Egypt, even till ye came into this place, ye continued to be disobedient toward the Lord. ⁸ Also in Choreb ye provoked the Lord, and the Lord was angry with you to destroy you; ⁹ when I went up into the mountain to receive the tables of stone, the tables of the covenant, which the Lord made with you, and I was in the mountain forty days and forty nights, I ate no bread and drank no water. ¹⁰ And the Lord gave me the two tables of stone written with the finger of God, and on them there had been written all the words which the Lord spoke to you in the mountain in the day of the assembly. ¹¹ And it came to pass after forty days and forty nights, the Lord gave me the two tables of stone, the tables of the covenant. ¹² And the Lord said to me, Arise, go down quickly from hence, for thy people whom thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt have transgressed; they have gone aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them, and have made themselves a molten image. ¹³ And the Lord spoke to me, saying, I have spoken to thee once and again, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiff-necked people. ¹⁴ And now suffer me utterly to destroy them, and I will blot out their name from under heaven, and will make of thee a nation great and strong, and more numerous than this. ¹⁵ And I turned and went down from the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire to heaven; and the two tables of the testimonies were in my two hands. ¹⁶ And when I saw that ye had sinned against the Lord your God, and had made to yourselves a molten image, and had gone astray out of the way, which the Lord commanded you to keep; ¹⁷ then I took hold of the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before you. ¹⁸ And I made my petition before the Lord as also at the first forty days and forty nights: I ate no bread and drank no water, on account of all your sins which ye sinned in doing evil before the Lord God to provoke him. ¹⁹ And I was greatly terrified because of the wrath and anger, because the Lord was provoked with you utterly to destroy you; yet the Lord hearkened to me at this time also. ²⁰ And he was angry with Aaron to destroy him utterly, and I prayed for Aaron also at that time. ²¹ And your sin which ye had made, even the calf, I took, and burnt it with fire, and pounded it and ground it down till it became fine; and it became like dust, and I cast the dust into the brook that descended from the mountain. ²² Also in the burning, and in the temptation, and at the graves of lust, ye provoked the Lord. ²³ And when the Lord sent you forth from Cades Barne, saying, Go up and inherit the land which I give to you, then ye disobeyed the word of the Lord your God, and believed him not, and hearkened not to his voice. ²⁴ Ye were disobedient in the things relating to the Lord from the day in which he became known to you.

^{1 (138:1)} For the end, a Psalm of David.O Lord, thou hast proved me, and known me. ^{2 (138:2)} Thou knowest my down-sitting and mine up-rising: thou understandest my thoughts long before. ^{3 (138:3)} Thou hast traced my path and my bed, and hast foreseen all my ways. ^{4 (138:4)} For there is no unrighteous word in my tongue: behold, O Lord, thou hast known all things,

⁹ Ye shall hear indeed, but ye shall not understand; and ye shall see indeed, but ye shall not perceive. ¹⁰ For the heart of this people has become gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.

² so a fearful and a grievous vision was declared to me: he that is treacherous deals treacherously, the transgressor transgresses. The Elamites are upon me, and the ambassadors of the Persians come against me: now will I groan and comfort myself.

¹¹ O Lord, thine arm is exalted, yet they knew it not: but when they know they shall be ashamed: jealously shall seize upon an untaught nation, and now fire shall devour the adversaries.

¹⁰ For the Lord has made you to drink a spirit of deep sleep; and he shall close their eyes, and the eyes of their prophets and of their rulers, who see secret things. ¹¹ And all these things shall be to you as the words of this sealed book, which if they shall give to a learned man, saying, Read this, he shall then say, I cannot read it, for it is sealed.

¹⁹ And who is blind, but my servants? and deaf, but they that rule over them? yea, the servants of God have been made blind. ²⁰ Ye have often seen, and have not taken heed; your ears have been opened, and ye have not heard.

⁸ Remember ye these things, and groan: repent, ye that have gone astray, return in your heart;

⁴ I know that thou art stubborn, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy forehead brazen.

⁵ and the instruction of the Lord, even the Lord, opens mine ears, and I do not disobey, nor dispute.

⁷ And I said after she had committed all these acts of fornication, Turn again to me. Yet she returned not. And faithless Juda saw her faithlessness. ⁸ And I saw that (for all the sins of which she was convicted, wherein the house of Israel committed adultery, and I put her away, and gave into her hands a bill of divorcement,) yet faithless Juda feared not, but went and herself also committed fornication. ⁹ And her fornication was nothing accounted of; and she committed adultery with wood and stone. ¹⁰ And for all these things faithless Juda turned not to me with all her heart, but falsely. ¹¹ And the Lord said to me, Israel has justified himself more than faithless Juda.

²⁰ But as a wife acts treacherously against her husband, so has the house of Israel dealt treacherously against me, saith the Lord.

¹¹ For the house of Israel have indeed dealt treacherously against me, saith the Lord: the house of Juda also

²¹ Hear ye now these things, O foolish and senseless people; who have eyes, and see not; and have ears, and hear not:

¹⁰ To whom shall I speak, and testify, that he may hearken? behold, thine ears are uncircumcised, and they shall not be able to hear: behold, the word of the Lord is become to them a reproach, they will not at all desire it.

³ and thou shalt say, Thus saith the Lord to Jerusalem; Thy root and thy birth are of the land of Chanaan: thy father was an Amorite, and thy mother a Chettite. ⁴ And as for thy birth in the day wherein thou wast born, thou didst not bind thy breasts, and thou wast not washed in water, neither wast thou salted with salt, neither wast thou swathed in swaddling-bands. ⁵ Nor did mine eye pity thee, to do for thee one of all these things, to feel at all for thee; but thou wast cast out on the face of the field, because of the deformity of thy person, in the day wherein thou wast born.

⁷ For they have forsaken the Lord; for strange children have been born to them: now shall the cankerworm devour them and their heritages.

^{7 (6:8)} But they are as a man transgressing a covenant:

¹¹ Juda has been forsaken, and an abomination has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Juda has profaned the holy things of the Lord, which he delighted in, and has gone after other gods.

⁹ And when the Chananite and all the inhabitants of the land hear it, they shall compass us round and destroy us from off the land: and what wilt thou do for thy great name?

²² For the Lord will not cast off his people for his great name's sake, because the Lord graciously took you to himself for a people.

³⁰ Yet thou didst bear long with them many years, and didst testify to them by thy Spirit by the hand of thy prophets: but they hearkened not; so thou gavest them into the hand of the nations of the land. ³¹ But thou in thy many mercies didst not appoint them to destruction, and didst not forsake them; for thou art strong, and merciful, and pitiful.

^{11 (24:11)} For thy name's sake, O Lord, do thou also be merciful to my sin; for it is great.

^{38 (77:38)} But he is compassionate, and will forgive their sins, and will not destroy them: yea, he will frequently turn away his wrath, and will not kindle all his anger.

^{9 (78:9)} Help us, O God our Saviour; for the glory of thy name, O Lord, deliver us; and be merciful to our sins, for thy name's sake.

^{8 (102:8)} The Lord is compassionate and pitiful, long-suffering, and full of mercy. ^{9 (102:9)} He will not be always angry; neither will he be wrathful for ever. ^{10 (102:10)} He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor recompensed us according to our iniquities.

^{8 (105:8)} Yet he saved them for his name's sake, that he might cause his mighty power to be known.

^{11 (142:11)} Thou shalt quicken me, O Lord, for thy name's sake; in thy righteousness thou shalt bring my soul out of affliction.

¹¹ A merciful man is long-suffering; and his triumph overtakes transgressors.

¹⁸ And the Lord will again wait, that he may pity you, and will therefore be exalted that he may have mercy upon you: because the Lord your God is a judge: blessed are they that stay themselves upon him.

³⁵ I will protect this city to save it for my own sake, and for my servant David's sake.

²⁵ I, even I, am he that blots out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and thy sins; and I will not remember them.

¹¹ For mine own sake I will do this for thee, because my name is profaned; and I will not give my glory to another.

⁷ Our sins have risen up against us: O Lord, do thou for us for thine own sake; for our sins are many before thee; for we have sinned against thee.

⁹ But I wrought so that my name should not be at all profaned in the sight of the Gentiles, in the midst of whom they are, among whom I was made known to them in their sight, to bring them out of the land of Egypt.

¹⁴ But I wrought so that my name should not be at all profaned before the Gentiles, before whose eyes I brought them out.

²² But I wrought so that my name might not be at all profaned before the Gentiles; and I brought them out in their sight.

⁴⁴ And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I have done thus to you, that my name may not be profaned in your evil ways, and in your corrupt devices, saith the Lord.

¹⁷ And now, O lord our God, hearken to the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to shine on thy desolate sanctuary, for thine own sake, O Lord. ¹⁸ Incline thine ear, O my God, and hear; open thine eyes and behold our desolation, and that of thy city on which thy name is called: for we do not bring our pitiful case before thee on the ground of our righteousness, but on the ground of thy manifold compassions, O Lord. ¹⁹ Hearken, O Lord; be propitious, O Lord; attend, O Lord; delay not, O my God, for thine own sake: for thy name is called upon thy city and upon thy people.

²⁰ But God took you, and led you forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be to him a people of inheritance, as at this day.

⁵¹ for they are thy people and thine inheritance, whom thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, out of the midst of the furnace of iron.

¹⁰ For he knows already my way; and he has tried me as gold.

^{10 (65:10)} For thou, O God, has proved us; thou hast tried us with fire as silver is tried.

³ As silver and gold are tried in a furnace, so are choice hearts with the Lord.

²⁵ And I will bring my hand upon thee, and purge thee completely, and I will destroy the rebellious, and will take away from thee all transgressors. ²⁶ And I will establish thy judges as before, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: and afterward thou shalt be called the city of righteousness, the faithful mother-city of Sion.

⁷ Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will try them with fire, and prove them; for I will do thus because of the wickedness of the daughter of my people.

³⁸ And I will separate from among you the ungodly and the revolters; for I will lead them forth out of their place of sojourning, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am the Lord, even the Lord.

¹⁸ Son of man, behold, the house of Israel are all become to me as it were mixed with brass, and iron, and tin, and lead; they are mixed up in the midst of the silver. ¹⁹ Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God; Because ye have become one mixture, therefore I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem. ²⁰ As silver, and brass, and iron, and tin, and lead, are gathered into the midst of the furnace, to blow fire into it, that they may be melted: so will I take you in my wrath, and I will gather and melt you. ²¹ And I will blow upon you in the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst thereof. ²² As silver is melted in the midst of a furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I the Lord have poured out my wrath upon you.

⁸ And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts thereof shall be cut off and perish; but the third shall be left therein. ⁹ And I will bring the third part through the fire, and I will try them as silver is tried, and I will prove them as gold is proved: they shall call upon my name, and I will hear them, and say, This is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.

² And who will abide the day of his coming? or who will withstand at his appearing? for he is coming in as the fire of a furnace and as the herb of fullers. ³ He shall sit to melt and purify as it were silver, and as it were gold: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and refine them as gold and silver, and they shall offer to the Lord an offering in righteousness.

¹⁵ And if thou shalt destroy this nation as one man; then all the nations that have heard thy name shall speak, saying, ¹⁶ Because the Lord could not bring this people into the land which he sware to them, he has overthrown them in the wilderness.

²⁶ I said, I will scatter them, and I will cause their memorial to cease from among men. ²⁷ Were it not for the wrath of the enemy, lest they should live long, lest their enemies should combine against them; lest they should say, Our own high arm, and not the Lord, has done all these things.

⁸ I am the Lord God: that is my name: I will not give my glory to another, nor my praises to graven images.

⁵ And I told thee of old what should be before it came upon thee; I made it known to thee, lest thou shouldest say, My idols have done it for me; and shouldest say, My graven and molten images have commanded me.

⁵ And now why are ye here? Thus saith the Lord, Because my people was taken for nothing, wonder ye and howl. Thus saith the Lord, On account of you my name is continually blasphemed among the Gentiles.

³⁹ And as to you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord, even the Lord; Put away each one his evil practices, and hereafter if ye hearken to me, then shall ye no more profane my holy name by your gifts and by devices.

³⁹ Behold, behold that I am he, and there is no god beside me: I kill, and I will make to live: I will smite, and I will heal; and there is none who shall deliver out of my hands.

²⁴ Now then, my son, hearken to me, and attend to the words of my mouth.

³² Now then, my son, hear me: blessed is the man who shall hearken to me, and the mortal who shall keep my ways;

¹ Draw near, ye nations; and hearken, ye princes; let the earth hear, and they that are in it; the world, and the people that are therein.

⁴ Who has wrought and done these things? he has called it who called it from the generations of old; I God, the first and to all futurity, I AM.

¹¹ I am God; and beside me there is no Saviour.

⁶ Thus saith God the King of Israel, and the God of hosts that delivered him; I am the first, and I am hereafter: beside me there is no God.

³ Hear me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of Israel, who are borne by me from the womb, and taught by me from infancy, even to old age:

¹ Hearken to me, ye islands; and attend, ye Gentiles; after a long time it shall come to pass, saith the Lord: from my mother's womb he has called my name:

¹ Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, and seek the Lord: look to the solid rock, which ye have hewn, and to the hole of the pit which ye have dug.

⁴ Hear me, hear me, my people; and ye kings, hearken to me: for a law shall proceed from me, and my judgment shall be for a light of the nations.

⁷ Hear me, ye that know judgment, the people in whose heart is my law: fear not the reproach of men, and be not overcome by their contempt.

³ Give heed with your ears, and follow my ways: hearken to me, and your soul shall live in prosperity; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, the sure mercies of David.

¹¹ For in six days the Lord made the heaven and the earth, and the sea and all things in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it.

¹⁸ Wilt thou establish with him foundations for the ancient heavens? they are strong as a molten mirror.

^{25 (101:25)} In the beginning thou, O Lord, didst lay the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands.

^{89 (118:89)} Thy word, O Lord, abides in heaven for ever. ^{90 (118:90)} Thy truth endures to all generations; thou hast founded the earth, and it abides. ^{91 (118:91)} The day continues by thy arrangement; for all things are thy servants.

^{4 (146:4)} He numbers the multitudes of stars; and calls them all by names.

⁵ Let them praise the name of the Lord: for he spoke, and they were made; he commanded, and they were created. ⁶ He has established them for ever, even for ever and ever: he has made an ordinance, and it shall not pass away. ⁷ Praise the Lord from the earth, ye serpents, and all deeps. ⁸ Fire, hail, snow, ice, stormy wind; the things that perform his word.

¹² Who has measured the water in his hand, and the heaven with a span, and all the earth in a handful? Who has weighed the mountains in scales, and the forests in a balance?

²² It is he that comprehends the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants in it are as grasshoppers; he that set up the heaven as a chamber, and stretched it out as a tent to dwell in:

²⁶ Lift up your eyes on high, and see, who has displayed all these things? even he that brings forth his host by number: he shall call them all by name by means of his great glory, and by the power of his might: nothing has escaped thee.

⁵ Thus saith the Lord God, who made the heaven, and established it; who settled the earth, and the things in it, and gives breath to the people on it, and spirit to them that tread on it:

¹⁸ Thus saith the Lord that made the heaven, this God that created the earth, and made it; he marked it out, he made it not in vain, but formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord, and there is none beside.

⁴ A voice of many nations on the mountains, even like to that of many nations; a voice of kings and nations gathered together: the Lord of hosts has given command to a war-like nation, ⁵ to come from a land afar off, from the utmost foundation of heaven; the Lord and his warriors are coming to destroy all the world.

¹⁷ Behold, I will stir up against you the Medes, who do not regard silver, neither have they need of gold. ¹⁸ They shall break the bows of the young men; and they shall have no mercy on your children; nor shall their eyes spare thy children.

²⁸ Who bids Cyrus be wise, and he shall perform all my will: who says to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built, and I will lay the foundation of my holy house.

²⁰ Assemble yourselves and come; take counsel together, ye that escape of the nations: they that set up wood, even their graven image, have no knowledge, nor they who pray to gods that do not save. ²¹ If they will declare, let them draw nigh, that they may know together, who has caused these things to be heard from the beginning: then was it told you. I am God, and there is not another beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none but me.

¹⁰ telling beforehand the latter events before they come to pass, and they are accomplished together: and I said, all my counsel shall stand, and I will do all things that I have planned: ¹¹ calling a bird from the east, and from a land afar off, for the things which I have planned: I have spoken, and brought him; I have created and made him; I have brought him, and prospered his way.

^{21 (27:21)} on the land, saith the Lord. Go up against it roughly, and against them that dwell on it: avenge, O sword, and destroy utterly, saith the Lord, and do according to all that I command thee. ^{22 (27:22)} A sound of war, and great destruction in the land of the Chaldeans! ^{23 (27:23)} How is the hammer of the whole earth broken and crushed! How is Babylon become a desolation among the nations! ^{24 (27:24)} They shall come upon thee, and thou shalt not know it, Babylon, that thou wilt even be taken captive: thou art found and taken, because thou didst resist the Lord. ^{25 (27:25)} The Lord has opened his treasury, and brought forth the weapons of his anger: for the Lord God has a work in the land of the Chaldeans. ^{26 (27:26)} For her times are come: open ye her storehouses: search her as a cave, and utterly destroy her: let there be no remnant of her. ^{27 (27:27)} Dry ye up all her fruits, and let them go down to the slaughter: woe to them! for their day is come, and the time of their retribution. ^{28 (27:28)} A voice of men fleeing and escaping from the land of Babylon, to declare to Sion the vengeance that comes from the Lord our God. ^{29 (27:29)} Summon many against Babylon, even every one that bends the bow: camp against her round about; let no one of her people escape: render to her according to her works; according to all that she has done, do to her: for she has resisted the Lord, the Holy God of Israel.

^{20 (28:20)} Thou scatterest for me the weapons of war: and I will scatter nations by thee, and will destroy kings by means of thee. ^{21 (28:21)} And by thee I will scatter the horse and his rider; and by thee I will scatter chariots and them that ride in them. ^{22 (28:22)} And by thee I will scatter youth and maid; and by thee I will scatter man and woman. ^{23 (28:23)} And by thee I will scatter the shepherd and his flock; and by thee I will scatter the husbandman and his husbandry; and by thee I will scatter leaders and the captains. ^{24 (28:24)} And I will recompense to Babylon and to all the Chaldeans that dwell there all their mischiefs that they have done to Sion before your eyes, saith the Lord.

⁸ And the book of this law shall not depart out of thy mouth, and thou shalt meditate in it day and night, that thou mayest know how to do all the things that are written in it; then shalt thou prosper, and make thy ways prosperous, and then shalt thou be wise.

^{4 (44:4)} and bend thy bow, and prosper, and reign, because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall guide thee wonderfully.

¹ Thus saith the Lord God to my anointed Cyrus, whose right hand I have held, that nations might be obedient before him; and I will break through the strength of kings; I will open doors before him, and cities shall not be closed. ² I will go before thee, and will level mountains: I will break to pieces brazen doors, and burst iron bars.

² On the fifth day of the month; this was the fifth year of the captivity of king Joakim.

¹ And there shall come forth a rod out of the root of Jesse, and a blossom shall come up from his root: ² and the Spirit of God shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and strength, the spirit of knowledge and godliness shall fill him; ³ the spirit of the fear of God. He shall not judge according to appearance, nor reprove according to report: ⁴ but he shall judge the cause of the lowly, and shall reprove the lowly of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the word of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he destroy the ungodly one. ⁵ And he shall have his loins girt with righteousness, and his sides clothed with truth.

¹ Hold a feast to me, ye islands: for the princes shall renew their strength: let them draw nigh and speak together: then let them declare judgement.

¹⁹ I have not spoken in secret, nor in a dark place of the earth: I said not to the seed of Jacob, Seek vanity: I, even I, am the Lord, speaking righteousness, and proclaiming truth.

³ and they that have proceeded out of my mouth, and it became well known; I wrought suddenly, and the events came to pass. ⁴ I know that thou art stubborn, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy forehead brazen. ⁵ And I told thee of old what should be before it came upon thee; I made it known to thee, lest thou shouldest say, My idols have done it for me; and shouldest say, My graven and molten images have commanded me. ⁶ Ye have heard all this, but ye have not known: yet I have made known to thee the new things from henceforth, which are coming to pass, and thou saidst not,

¹ The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me; he has sent me to preach glad tidings to the poor, to heal the broken in heart, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind; ² to declare the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of recompence; to comfort all that mourn; ³ that there should be given to them that mourn in Sion glory instead of ashes, the oil of joy to the mourners, the garment of glory for the spirit of heaviness: and they shall be called generations of righteousness, the planting of the Lord for glory.

⁸ For thus saith the Lord Almighty; After the glory has he sent me to the nations that spoiled you: for he that touches you is as one that touches the apple of his eye. ⁹ For, behold, I bring my hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to them that serve them: and ye shall know that the Lord Almighty has sent me. ¹⁰ Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Sion: for, behold, I come, and will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the Lord. ¹¹ And many nations shall flee for refuge to the Lord in that day, and they shall be for a people to him, and they shall dwell in the midst of thee: and thou shalt know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to thee.

¹⁷ Lest thou shouldest say in thine heart, My strength, and the power of mine hand have wrought for me this great wealth. ¹⁸ But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God, that he gives thee strength to get wealth; even that he may establish his covenant, which the Lord sware to thy fathers, as at this day.

³⁶ then thou shalt hear from heaven, and be merciful to the sins of thy servant and of thy people Israel; for thou shalt shew them the good way to walk in it, and thou shalt give rain upon the earth which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance.

²¹ Be firm, I pray thee, if thou canst endure; then thy fruit shall prosper. ²² And receive a declaration from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart.

²² Behold, the Mighty One shall prevail by his strength: for who is powerful as he is?

^{8 (24:8)} Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will he instruct sinners in the way. ^{9 (24:9)} The meek will he guide in judgment: the meek will he teach his ways.

^{12 (24:12)} Who is the man that fears the Lord? he shall instruct him in the way which he has chosen.

^{8 (31:8)} I will instruct thee and guide thee in this way wherein thou shalt go: I will fix mine eyes upon thee.

^{17 (70:17)} O God, thou hast taught me from my youth, and until now will I declare thy wonders;

^{24 (72:24)} Thou hast guided me by thy counsel, and thou hast taken me to thyself with glory.

³ And many nations shall go and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will tell us his way, and we will walk in it: for out of Sion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord out of Jerusalem.

²⁰ And though the Lord shall give you the bread of affliction and scant water, yet they that cause thee to err shall no more at all draw nigh to thee; for thine eyes shall see those that cause thee to err,

¹⁴ Thus saith the Lord God that redeems you, the Holy One of Israel; for your sakes I will send to Babylon, and I will stir up all that flee, and the Chaldeans shall be bound in ships.

¹⁶ Thus saith the Lord, who makes a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty water;

⁶ Thus saith God the King of Israel, and the God of hosts that delivered him; I am the first, and I am hereafter: beside me there is no God. ⁷ Who is like me? let him stand, and call, and declare, and prepare for me from the time that I made man for ever; and let them tell you the things that are coming before they arrive. ⁸ Hide not yourselves, nor go astray: have ye not heard from the beginning, and have not I told you? ye are witnesses if there is a God beside me. ⁹ But they that framed false gods did not then hearken; and they that graved images are all vain, performing their own desires, which shall not profit them, but they shall be ashamed ¹⁰ that form a god, and all that grave worthless things: ¹¹ and all by whom they were made are withered: yea, let all the deaf be gathered from among men, and let them stand together; and let them be ashamed and confounded together: ¹² For the artificer sharpens the iron; he fashions the idol with an axe, and fixes it with an awl, and fashions it with the strength of his arm: and he will be hungry and weak, and will drink no water. ¹³ The artificer having chosen a piece of wood, marks it out with a rule, and fits it with glue, and makes it as the form of a man, and as the beauty of a man, to set it up in the house. ¹⁴ He cuts wood out of the forest, which the Lord planted, even a pine tree, and the rain made it grow, ¹⁵ that it might be for men to burn: and having taken part of it he warms himself; yea, they burn part of it, and bake loaves thereon; and of the rest they make for themselves gods, and they worship them. ¹⁶ Half thereof he burns in the fire, and with half of it he bakes loaves on the coals; and having roasted flesh on it he eats, and is satisfied, and having warmed himself he says, I am comfortable, for I have warmed myself, and have seen the fire. ¹⁷ And the rest he makes a graven god, and worships, and prays, saying, Deliver me; for thou art my God. ¹⁸ They have no understanding to perceive; for they have been blinded so that they should not see with their eyes, nor perceive with their heart. ¹⁹ And one has not considered in his mind, nor known in his understanding, that he has burnt up half of it in the fire, and baked loaves on the coals thereof and has roasted and eaten flesh, and of the rest of it he has made an abomination, and they worship it. ²⁰ Know thou that their heart is ashes, and they err, and no one is able to deliver his soul: see, ye will not say, There is a lie in my right hand. ²¹ Remember these things, O Jacob and Israel; for thou art my servant; I have formed thee to be my servant: and do thou, Israel, not forget me. ²² For behold, I have blotted out as a cloud thy transgressions, and thy sin as darkness: turn to me, and I will redeem thee. ²³ Rejoice, ye heavens; for God has had mercy upon Israel: sound the trumpet, ye foundations of the earth: ye mountains, shout with joy, ye hills, and all the trees therein: for God has redeemed Jacob, and Israel shall be glorified. ²⁴ Thus saith the Lord that redeems thee, and who formed thee from the womb, I am the Lord that performs all things: I stretched out the heaven alone, and established the earth.

²⁰ Go forth of Babylon, thou that fleest from the Chaldeans: utter aloud a voice of joy, and let this be made known, proclaim it to the end of the earth; say ye, The Lord hath delivered his servant Jacob.

⁷ Thus saith the Lord that delivered thee, the God of Israel, Sanctify him that despises his life, him that is abhorred by the nations that are the servants of princes: kings shall behold him, and princes shall arise, and shall worship him, for the Lord's sake: for the Holy One of Israel is faithful, and I have chosen thee.

⁹ saying to them that are in bonds, Go forth; and bidding them that are in darkness shew themselves. They shall be fed in all the ways, and in all the paths shall be their pasture. ¹⁰ They shall not hunger, neither shall they thirst; neither shall the heat nor the sun smite them; but he that has mercy on them shall comfort them, and by fountains of waters shall he lead them.

⁵ For it is the Lord that made thee; the Lord of hosts is his name: and he that delivered thee, he is the God of Israel, and shall be called so by the whole earth.

¹³ And I will cause all thy sons to be taught of God, and thy children to be in great peace.

¹⁶ Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths of the Lord; and see what is the good way, and walk in it, and ye shall find purification for your souls. But they said, We will not walk in them.

^{33 (38:33)} For this is my covenant which I will make with the house of Israel; after those days, saith the Lord, I will surely put my laws into their mind, and write them on their hearts; and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people. ^{34 (38:34)} And they shall not at all teach every one his fellow citizen, and every one his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them: for I will be merciful to their iniquities, and their sins I will remember no more.

² And many nations shall go, and say, Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and they shall shew us his way, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Sion shall go forth a law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

²⁹ O that there were such a heart in them, that they should fear me and keep my commands always, that it might be well with them and with their sons for ever.

²⁹ They had not sense to understand: let them reserve these things against the time to come.

^{8 (35:8)} They shall be fully satisfied with the fatness of thine house; and thou shalt cause them to drink of the full stream of thy delights.

^{13 (80:13)} If my people had hearkened to me, if Israel had walked in my ways, ^{14 (80:14)} I should have put down their enemies very quickly, and should have laid my hand upon those that afflicted them. ^{15 (80:15)} The Lord's enemies should have lied to him: but their time shall be for ever. ^{16 (80:16)} And he fed them with the fat of wheat; and satisfied them with honey out of the rock.

^{165 (118:165)} Great peace have they that love thy law: and there is no stumbling-block to them.

¹⁵ until the Spirit shall come upon you from on high, and Chermel shall be desert, and Chermel shall be counted for a forest. ¹⁶ Then judgement shall abide in the wilderness, and righteousness shall dwell in Carmel. ¹⁷ And the works of righteousness shall be peace; and righteousness shall ensure rest, and the righteous shall be confident for ever. ¹⁸ And his people shall inhabit a city of peace, and dwell in it in confidence, and they shall rest with wealth.

⁸ Let the heaven rejoice from above, and let the clouds rain righteousness: let the earth bring forth, and blossom with mercy, and bring forth righteousness likewise: I am the Lord that created thee.

¹² For thus saith the Lord, Behold, I turn toward them as a river of peace, and as a torrent bringing upon them in a flood the glory of the Gentiles: their children shall be borne upon the shoulders, and comforted on the knees.

²⁴ But let judgment roll down as water, and righteousness as an impassable torrent.

¹⁶ And I will make thy seed like the dust of the earth; if any one is able to number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed be numbered.

¹⁷ surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand which is by the shore of the sea, and thy seed shall inherit the cities of their enemies.

¹⁰ Moreover I have bought for myself for a wife Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Maalon, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance; so the name of the dead shall not be destroyed from among his brethren, and from the tribe of his people: ye are this day witnesses.

⁷ then will I cut off Israel from the land which I have given them, and this house which I have consecrated to my name I will cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a desolation and a by-word to all nations.

⁵ Thou hast rebuked the nations, and the ungodly one has perished; thou hast blotted out their name for ever, even for ever and ever.

^{13 (108:13)} Let his children be given up to utter destruction: in one generation let his name be blotted out.

¹⁴ So the Lord took away from Israel the head and tail, great and small, in one day:

²² And though the people of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant of them shall be saved.

²² And I will rise up against them, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will destroy their name, and remnant, and seed: thus saith the Lord.
