1:1The Song of songs, which is Solomon's.
1:1The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
2:1This is what Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
3:18In that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, the headbands, the crescent necklaces,3:19the earrings, the bracelets, the veils,3:20the headdresses, the ankle chains, the sashes, the perfume bottles, the charms,3:21the signet rings, the nose rings,3:22the fine robes, the capes, the cloaks, the purses,3:23the hand mirrors, the fine linen garments, the tiaras, and the shawls.
4:1Seven women shall take hold of one man in that day, saying, "We will eat our own bread, and wear our own clothing: only let us be called by your name. Take away our reproach."
4:2In that day, Yahweh's branch will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land will be the beauty and glory of the survivors of Israel.4:3It will happen, that he who is left in Zion, and he who remains in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even everyone who is written among the living in Jerusalem;4:4when the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from its midst, by the spirit of justice, and by the spirit of burning.4:5Yahweh will create over the whole habitation of Mount Zion, and over her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night; for over all the glory will be a canopy.4:6There will be a pavilion for a shade in the daytime from the heat, and for a refuge and for a shelter from storm and from rain.
6:1In the year that king Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple.6:2Above him stood the seraphim. Each one had six wings. With two he covered his face. With two he covered his feet. With two he flew.6:3One called to another, and said,
6:4The foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke.6:5Then I said, "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 my eyes have seen the King, Yahweh of Armies!"
6:6Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar.6:7He touched my mouth with it, and said, "Behold, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away, and your sin forgiven."
6:8I heard the Lord's voice, saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?"
Then I said, "Here I am. Send me!"
6:9He said, "Go, and tell this people,
6:11Then I said, "Lord, how long?"
He answered,
7:1It happened 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 to Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it.7:2It was told the house of David, saying, "Syria is allied with Ephraim." His heart trembled, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the forest tremble with the wind.7:3Then Yahweh said to Isaiah, "Go out now to meet Ahaz, you, and Shearjashub your son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, on the highway of the fuller's field.7:4Tell him, 'Be careful, and keep calm. Don't be afraid, neither let your heart be faint because of these two tails of smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.7:5Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have plotted evil against you, saying,7:6"Let's go up against Judah, and tear it apart, and let's divide it among ourselves, and set up a king in its midst, even the son of Tabeel."7:7This is what the Lord Yahweh says: "It shall not stand, neither shall it happen."7:8For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within sixty-five years Ephraim shall be broken in pieces, so that it shall not be a people;7:9and the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If you will not believe, surely you shall not be established.'"
7:10Yahweh spoke again to Ahaz, saying,7:11"Ask a sign of Yahweh your God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above."
7:12But Ahaz said, "I will not ask, neither will I tempt Yahweh."
7:13He said, "Listen now, house of David: Is it not enough for you to try the patience of men, that you will try the patience of my God also?7:14Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin will conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his nameImmanuel.7:15He shall eat butter and honey when he knows to refuse the evil, and choose the good.7:16For before the child knows to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land whose two kings you abhor shall be forsaken.7:17Yahweh will bring on you, on your people, and on your father's house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah; even the king of Assyria.7:18It will happen in that day that Yahweh will whistle 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.7:19They shall come, and shall all rest in the desolate valleys, in the clefts of the rocks, on all thorn hedges, and on all pastures.7:20In that day the Lord will shave with a razor that is hired in the parts beyond the River, even with the king of Assyria, the head and the hair of the feet; and it shall also consume the beard.7:21It shall happen in that day that a man shall keep alive a young cow, and two sheep;7:22and it shall happen, that because of the abundance of milk which they shall give he shall eat butter: for everyone will eat butter and honey that is left in the midst of the land.7:23It will happen in that day that every place where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silver shekels, shall be for briers and thorns.7:24People will go there with arrows and with bow, because all the land will be briers and thorns.7:25All the hills that were cultivated with the hoe, you shall not come there for fear of briers and thorns; but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of sheep."
8:1Yahweh said to me, "Take a large tablet, and write on it with a man's pen, 'For Maher Shalal Hash Baz;'8:2and I will take for myself faithful witnesses to testify: Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah."
8:3I went to the prophetess, and she conceived, and bore a son. Then said Yahweh to me, "Call his name 'Maher Shalal Hash Baz.'8:4For before the child knows how to say, 'My father,' and, 'My mother,' the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria will be carried away by the king of Assyria."
8:5Yahweh spoke to me yet again, saying,8:6"Because this people have refused the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah's son;8:7now therefore, behold, the Lord brings upon them the mighty flood waters of the River: the king of Assyria and all his glory. It will come up over all its channels, and go over all its banks.8:8It will sweep onward into Judah. It will overflow and pass through; it will reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of its wings will fill the breadth of your land, Immanuel.8:9Make an uproar, you peoples, and be broken in pieces! Listen, all you from far countries: dress for battle, and be shattered! Dress for battle, and be shattered!8:10Take counsel together, and it will be brought to nothing; speak the word, and it will not stand: for God is with us."8:11For Yahweh spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,8:12"Don't say, 'A conspiracy!' concerning all about which this people say, 'A conspiracy!' neither fear their threats, nor be terrorized.8:13Yahweh of Armies is who you must regard as holy. He is the one you must fear. He is the one you must dread.8:14He will be a sanctuary, but for both houses of Israel, he will be a trap and a snare for the inhabitants of Jerusalem.8:15Many will stumble over it, fall, be broken, be snared, and be captured."8:16Wrap up the testimony. Seal the law among my disciples.8:17I will wait for Yahweh, who hides his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.8:18Behold, I and the children whom Yahweh has given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from Yahweh of Armies, who dwells in Mount Zion.
8:19When they tell you, "Consult with those who have familiar spirits and with the wizards, who chirp and who mutter:" shouldn't a people consult with their God? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living?8:20Turn to the law and to the testimony! If they don't speak according to this word, surely there is no morning for them.8:21They will pass through it, sore distressed and hungry; and it will happen that when they are hungry, they will worry, and curse by their king and by their God. They will turn their faces upward,8:22and look to the earth, and see distress, darkness, and the gloom of anguish. They will be driven into thick darkness.
9:1But there shall be no more gloom for her who was in anguish. In the former time, he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali; but in the latter time he has made it glorious, by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
They rejoice before you according to the joy in harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.9:4For the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, you have broken as in the day of Midian.9:5For all the armor of the armed man in the noisy battle, and the garments rolled in blood, will be for burning, fuel for the fire.9:6For to us a child is born. To us a son is given; and the government will be on his shoulders. His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.9:7Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, on the throne of David, and on his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from that time on, even forever. The zeal of Yahweh of Armies will perform this.
10:1Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, and to the writers who write oppressive decrees;10:2to deprive the needy from justice, and to rob the poor among my people of their rights, that widows may be their spoil, and that they may make the fatherless their prey!10:3What will you do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which will come from afar? To whom will you flee for help? Where will you leave your wealth?
10:5Alas Assyrian, the rod of my anger, the staff in whose hand is my indignation!10:6I will send him against a profane nation, and against the people who anger me will I give him a command to take the spoil and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.10:7However he doesn't mean so, neither does his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy, and to cut off not a few nations.10:8For he says, "Aren't all of my princes kings?10:9Isn't Calno like Carchemish? Isn't Hamath like Arpad? Isn't Samaria like Damascus?"10:10As my hand has found the kingdoms of the idols, whose engraved images exceeded those of Jerusalem and of Samaria;10:11shall I not, as I have done to Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?10:12Therefore it will happen that, when the Lord has performed his whole work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the willful proud heart of the king of Assyria, and the insolence of his haughty looks.10:13For he has said, "By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I have understanding: and I have removed the boundaries of the peoples, and have robbed their treasures. Like a valiant man I have brought down their rulers.10:14My hand has found the riches of the peoples like a nest, and like one gathers eggs that are abandoned, have I gathered all the earth. There was no one who moved their wing, or that opened their mouth, or chirped."
10:15Should an axe brag against him who chops with it? Should a saw exalt itself above him who saws with it? As if a rod should lift those who lift it up, or as if a staff should lift up someone who is not wood.10:16Therefore the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, will send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory a burning will be kindled like the burning of fire.10:17The light of Israel will be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame; and it will burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day.10:18He will consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body. It will be as when a standard bearer faints.10:19The remnant of the trees of his forest shall be few, so that a child could write their number.
10:20It will come to pass in that day that the remnant of Israel, and those who have escaped from the house of Jacob will no more again lean on him who struck them, but shall lean on Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.10:21A remnant will return, even the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God.10:22For though your people, Israel, are like the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them will return. A destruction is determined, overflowing with righteousness.10:23For the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, will make a full end, and that determined, in the midst of all the earth.10:24Therefore the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, says "My people who dwell in Zion, don't be afraid of the Assyrian, though he strike you with the rod, and lift up his staff against you, as Egypt did.10:25For yet a very little while, and the indignation against you will be accomplished, and my anger will be directed to his destruction."10:26Yahweh of Armies will stir up a scourge against him, as in the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb. His rod will be over the sea, and he will lift it up like he did against Egypt.10:27It will happen in that day, that his burden will depart from off your shoulder, and his yoke from off your neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing oil.
10:28He has come to Aiath. He has passed through Migron. At Michmash he stores his baggage.10:29They have gone over the pass. They have taken up their lodging at Geba. Ramah trembles. Gibeah of Saul has fled.10:30Cry aloud with your voice, daughter of Gallim! Listen, Laishah! You poor Anathoth!10:31Madmenah is a fugitive. The inhabitants of Gebim flee for safety.10:32This very day he will halt at Nob. He shakes his hand at the mountain of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.10:33Behold, the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, will lop the boughs with terror. The tall will be cut down, and the lofty will be brought low.10:34He will cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon will fall by the Mighty One.
11:1
11:10It will happen in that day that the nations will seek the root of Jesse, who stands as a banner of the peoples; and his resting place will be glorious.11:11It will happen in that day that the Lord will set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant that is left of his people from Assyria, from Egypt, from Pathros, from Cush, from Elam, from Shinar, from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.11:12He will set up a banner for the nations, and will assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.11:13The envy also of Ephraim will depart, and those who persecute Judah will be cut off. Ephraim won't envy Judah, and Judah won't persecute Ephraim.11:14They will fly down on the shoulders of the Philistines on the west. Together they will plunder the children of the east. They will extend their power over Edom and Moab, and the children of Ammon will obey them.11:15Yahweh will utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his scorching wind he will wave his hand over the River, and will split it into seven streams, and cause men to march over in sandals.11:16There will be a highway for the remnant that is left of his people from Assyria, like there was for Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.
12:1In that day you will say, "I will give thanks to you, Yahweh; for though you were angry with me, your anger has turned away and you comfort me.12:2Behold, God is my salvation. I will trust, and will not be afraid; for Yah, Yahweh, is my strength and song; and he has become my salvation."12:3Therefore with joy you will draw water out of the wells of salvation.12:4In that day you will say, "Give thanks to Yahweh! Call on his name. Declare his doings among the peoples. Proclaim that his name is exalted!12:5Sing to Yahweh, for he has done excellent things! Let this be known in all the earth!12:6Cry aloud and shout, you inhabitant of Zion; for the Holy One of Israel is great in the midst of you!"
13:1The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw:13:2Set up a banner on the bare mountain! Lift up your voice to them! Wave your hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.13:3I have commanded my consecrated ones; yes, I have called my mighty men for my anger, even my proudly exulting ones.13:4The noise of a multitude is in the mountains, as of a great people; the noise of an uproar of the kingdoms of the nations gathered together! Yahweh of Armies is mustering the army for the battle.13:5They come from a far country, from the uttermost part of heaven, even Yahweh, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.13:6Wail; for the day of Yahweh is at hand! It will come as destruction from the Almighty.13:7Therefore all hands will be feeble, and everyone's heart will melt.13:8They will be dismayed. Pangs and sorrows will seize them. They will be in pain like a woman in labor. They will look in amazement one at another. Their faces will be faces of flame.13:9Behold, the day of Yahweh comes, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger; to make the land a desolation, and to destroy its sinners out of it.13:10For the stars of the sky and its constellations will not give their light. The sun will be darkened in its going forth, and the moon will not cause its light to shine.13:11I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity. I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease, and will humble the haughtiness of the terrible.13:12I will make people more rare than fine gold, even a person than the pure gold of Ophir.13:13Therefore I will make the heavens tremble, and the earth will be shaken out of its place in the wrath of Yahweh of Armies, and in the day of his fierce anger.13:14It will happen that like a a hunted gazelle, and like sheep that no one gathers, they will each turn to their own people, and will each flee to their own land.13:15Everyone who is found will be thrust through. Everyone who is captured will fall by the sword.13:16Their infants also will be dashed in pieces before their eyes. Their houses will be ransacked, and their wives raped.13:17Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, who will not value silver, and as for gold, they will not delight in it.13:18Their bows will dash the young men in pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb. Their eyes will not spare children.13:19Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldeans' pride, will be like when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.13:20It will never be inhabited, neither will it be lived in from generation to generation. The Arabian will not pitch a tent there, neither will shepherds make their flocks lie down there.13:21But wild animals of the desert will lie there, and their houses will be full of jackals. Ostriches will dwell there, and wild goats will frolic there.13:22Wolves will cry in their castles, and jackals in the pleasant palaces. Her time is near to come, and her days will not be prolonged.
