God in Isaiah

The Berean Standard Bible is shown; switch to the King James or American Standard Version.

1. 1:2

   Listen, O heavens, and give ear, O earth, for the LORD has spoken: “I have raised children and brought them up, but they have rebelled against Me.

2. 1:4

   Alas, O sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a brood of evildoers, children who act corruptly! They have forsaken the LORD; they have despised the Holy One of Israel and turned their backs on Him.

3. 1:9

   Unless the LORD of Hosts had left us a few survivors, we would have become like Sodom, we would have resembled Gomorrah.

4. 1:10

   Hear the word of the LORD, you rulers of Sodom; listen to the instruction of our God, you people of Gomorrah!

5. 1:11

   “What good to Me is your multitude of sacrifices?” says the LORD. “I am full from the burnt offerings of rams and the fat of well-fed cattle; I take no delight in the blood of bulls and lambs and goats.

6. 1:18

   “Come now, let us reason together,” says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they will be as white as snow; though they are as red as crimson, they will become like wool.

7. 1:20

   But if you resist and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword.” For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.

8. 1:24

   Therefore the Lord GOD of Hosts, the Mighty One of Israel, declares: “Ah, I will be relieved of My foes and avenge Myself on My enemies.

9. 1:28

   But rebels and sinners will together be shattered, and those who forsake the LORD will perish.

10. 2:2

    In the last days the mountain of the house of the LORD will be established as the chief of the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and all nations will stream to it.

11. 2:3

    And many peoples will come and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us His ways so that we may walk in His paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

12. 2:5

    Come, O house of Jacob, let us walk in the light of the LORD.

13. 2:10

    Go into the rocks and hide in the dust from the terror of the LORD and the splendor of His majesty.

14. 2:11

    The proud look of man will be humbled, and the loftiness of men brought low; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.

15. 2:12

    For the Day of the LORD of Hosts will come against all the proud and lofty, against all that is exalted—it will be humbled—

16. 2:17

    So the pride of man will be brought low, and the loftiness of men will be humbled; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day,

17. 2:19

    Men will flee to caves in the rocks and holes in the ground, away from the terror of the LORD and from the splendor of His majesty, when He rises to shake the earth.

18. 2:21

    They will flee to caverns in the rocks and crevices in the cliffs, away from the terror of the LORD and from the splendor of His majesty, when He rises to shake the earth.

19. 3:1

    For behold, the Lord GOD of Hosts is about to remove from Jerusalem and Judah both supply and support: the whole supply of food and water,

20. 3:8

    For Jerusalem has stumbled and Judah has fallen because they spoke and acted against the LORD, defying His glorious presence.

21. 3:13

    The LORD arises to contend; He stands to judge the people.

22. 3:14

    The LORD brings this charge against the elders and leaders of His people: “You have devoured the vineyard; the plunder of the poor is in your houses.

23. 3:15

    Why do you crush My people and grind the faces of the poor?” declares the Lord GOD of Hosts.

24. 3:16

    The LORD also says: “Because the daughters of Zion are haughty—walking with heads held high and wanton eyes, prancing and skipping as they go, jingling the bracelets on their ankles—

25. 3:17

    the Lord will bring sores on the heads of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will make their foreheads bare.”

26. 3:18

    In that day the Lord will take away their finery: their anklets and headbands and crescents;

27. 4:2

    On that day the Branch of the LORD will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land will be the pride and glory of Israel’s survivors.

28. 4:4

    when the Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion and cleansed the bloodstains from the heart of Jerusalem by a spirit of judgment and a spirit of fire.

29. 4:5

    Then the LORD will create over all of Mount Zion and over her assemblies a cloud of smoke by day and a glowing flame of fire by night. For over all the glory there will be a canopy,

30. 5:7

    For the vineyard of the LORD of Hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah are the plant of His delight. He looked for justice, but saw bloodshed; for righteousness, but heard a cry of distress.

31. 5:9

    I heard the LORD of Hosts declare: “Surely many houses will become desolate, great mansions left unoccupied.

32. 5:12

    At their feasts are the lyre and harp, tambourines and flutes and wine. They disregard the actions of the LORD and fail to see the work of His hands.

33. 5:16

    But the LORD of Hosts will be exalted by His justice, and the holy God will show Himself holy in righteousness.

34. 5:19

    to those who say, “Let Him hurry and hasten His work so that we may see it! Let the plan of the Holy One of Israel come so that we may know it!”

35. 5:24

    Therefore, as a tongue of fire consumes the straw, and as dry grass shrivels in the flame, so their roots will decay and their blossoms will blow away like dust; for they have rejected the instruction of the LORD of Hosts and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

36. 5:25

    Therefore the anger of the LORD burns against His people; His hand is raised against them to strike them down. The mountains quake, and the corpses lie like refuse in the streets. Despite all this, His anger is not turned away; His hand is still upraised.

37. 6:1

    In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted; and the train of His robe filled the temple.

38. 6:3

    And they were calling out to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of Hosts; all the earth is full of His glory.”

39. 6:5

    Then I said: “Woe is me, for I am ruined, because I am a man of unclean lips dwelling among a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of Hosts.”

40. 6:8

    Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying: “Whom shall I send? Who will go for Us?” And I said: “Here am I. Send me!”

41. 6:11

    Then I asked: “How long, O Lord?” And He replied: “Until the cities lie ruined and without inhabitant, until the houses are left unoccupied and the land is desolate and ravaged,

42. 6:12

    until the LORD has driven men far away and the land is utterly forsaken.

43. 7:3

    Then the LORD said to Isaiah, “Go out with your son Shear-jashub to meet Ahaz at the end of the aqueduct that feeds the upper pool, on the road to the Launderer’s Field,

44. 7:7

    But this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘It will not arise; it will not happen.

45. 7:10

    Again the LORD spoke to Ahaz, saying,

46. 7:11

    “Ask for a sign from the LORD your God, whether from the depths of Sheol or the heights of heaven.”

47. 7:12

    But Ahaz replied, “I will not ask; I will not test the LORD.”

48. 7:13

    Then Isaiah said, “Hear now, O house of David! Is it not enough to try the patience of men? Will you try the patience of my God as well?

49. 7:14

    Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin will be with child and give birth to a son, and will call Him Immanuel.

50. 7:17

    The LORD will bring on you and on your people and on the house of your father a time unlike any since the day Ephraim separated from Judah—He will bring the king of Assyria.”

51. 7:18

    On that day the LORD will whistle to the flies at the farthest streams of the Nile and to the bees in the land of Assyria.

52. 7:20

    On that day the Lord will use a razor hired from beyond the Euphrates—the king of Assyria—to shave your head and the hair of your legs, and to remove your beard as well.

53. 8:1

    Then the LORD said to me, “Take a large scroll and write on it with an ordinary stylus: Maher-shalal-hash-baz.

54. 8:3

    And I had relations with the prophetess, and she conceived and gave birth to a son. The LORD said to me, “Name him Maher-shalal-hash-baz.

55. 8:5

    And the LORD spoke to me further:

56. 8:7

    the Lord will surely bring against them the mighty floodwaters of the Euphrates—the king of Assyria and all his pomp. It will overflow its channels and overrun its banks.

57. 8:10

    Devise a plan, but it will be thwarted; state a proposal, but it will not happen. For God is with us.”

58. 8:11

    For this is what the LORD has spoken to me with a strong hand, instructing me not to walk in the way of this people:

59. 8:13

    The LORD of Hosts is the One you shall regard as holy. Only He should be feared; only He should be dreaded.

60. 8:17

    I will wait for the LORD, who is hiding His face from the house of Jacob. I will put my trust in Him.

61. 8:18

    Here am I, and the children the LORD has given me as signs and symbols in Israel from the LORD of Hosts, who dwells on Mount Zion.

62. 8:19

    When men tell you to consult mediums and spiritists who whisper and mutter, shouldn’t a people consult their God instead? Why consult the dead on behalf of the living?

63. 8:21

    They will roam the land, dejected and hungry. When they are famished, they will become enraged; and looking upward, they will curse their king and their God.

64. 9:7

    Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish and sustain it with justice and righteousness from that time and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of Hosts will accomplish this.

65. 9:8

    The Lord has sent a message against Jacob, and it has fallen upon Israel.

66. 9:11

    The LORD has raised up the foes of Rezin against him and joined his enemies together.

67. 9:13

    But the people did not return to Him who struck them; they did not seek the LORD of Hosts.

68. 9:14

    So the LORD will cut off Israel’s head and tail, both palm branch and reed in a single day.

69. 9:17

    Therefore the Lord takes no pleasure in their young men; He has no compassion on their fatherless and widows. For every one of them is godless and wicked, and every mouth speaks folly. Despite all this, His anger is not turned away; His hand is still upraised.

70. 9:19

    By the wrath of the LORD of Hosts the land is scorched, and the people are fuel for the fire. No man even spares his brother.

71. 10:12

    So when the Lord has completed all His work against Mount Zion and Jerusalem, He will say, “I will punish the king of Assyria for the fruit of his arrogant heart and the proud look in his eyes.

72. 10:16

    Therefore the Lord GOD of Hosts will send a wasting disease among Assyria’s stout warriors, and under his pomp will be kindled a fire like a burning flame.

73. 10:17

    And the Light of Israel will become a fire, and its Holy One a flame. In a single day it will burn and devour Assyria’s thorns and thistles.

74. 10:20

    On that day the remnant of Israel and the survivors of the house of Jacob will no longer depend on him who struck them, but they will truly rely on the LORD, the Holy One of Israel.

75. 10:21

    A remnant will return—a remnant of Jacob—to the Mighty God.

76. 10:23

    For the Lord GOD of Hosts will carry out the destruction decreed upon the whole land.

77. 10:24

    Therefore this is what the Lord GOD of Hosts says: “O My people who dwell in Zion, do not fear Assyria, who strikes you with a rod and lifts his staff against you as the Egyptians did.

78. 10:26

    And the LORD of Hosts will brandish a whip against them, as when He struck Midian at the rock of Oreb. He will raise His staff over the sea, as He did in Egypt.

79. 10:33

    Behold, the Lord GOD of Hosts will lop off the branches with terrifying power. The tall trees will be cut down, the lofty ones will be felled.

80. 11:2

    The Spirit of the LORD will rest on Him—the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and strength, the Spirit of knowledge and fear of the LORD.

81. 11:3

    And He will delight in the fear of the LORD. He will not judge by what His eyes see, and He will not decide by what His ears hear,

82. 11:9

    They will neither harm nor destroy on all My holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the sea is full of water.

83. 11:11

    On that day the Lord will extend His hand a second time to recover the remnant of His people from Assyria, from Egypt, from Pathros, from Cush, from Elam, from Shinar, from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.

84. 11:15

    The LORD will devote to destruction the gulf of the Sea of Egypt; with a scorching wind He will sweep His hand over the Euphrates. He will split it into seven streams for men to cross with dry sandals.

85. 12:1

    In that day you will say: “O LORD, I will praise You. Although You were angry with me, Your anger has turned away, and You have comforted me.

86. 12:2

    Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. For the LORD GOD is my strength and my song, and He also has become my salvation.”

87. 12:4

    and on that day you will say: “Give praise to the LORD; proclaim His name! Make His works known among the peoples; declare that His name is exalted.

88. 12:5

    Sing to the LORD, for He has done glorious things. Let this be known in all the earth.

89. 12:6

    Cry out and sing, O citizen of Zion, for great among you is the Holy One of Israel.”

90. 13:4

    Listen, a tumult on the mountains, like that of a great multitude! Listen, an uproar among the kingdoms, like nations gathered together! The LORD of Hosts is mobilizing an army for war.

91. 13:5

    They are coming from faraway lands, from the ends of the heavens—the LORD and the weapons of His wrath—to destroy the whole country.

92. 13:6

    Wail, for the Day of the LORD is near; it will come as destruction from the Almighty.

93. 13:9

    Behold, the Day of the LORD is coming—cruel, with fury and burning anger—to make the earth a desolation and to destroy the sinners within it.

94. 13:13

    Therefore I will make the heavens tremble, and the earth will be shaken from its place at the wrath of the LORD of Hosts on the day of His burning anger.

95. 13:19

    And Babylon, the jewel of the kingdoms, the glory of the pride of the Chaldeans, will be overthrown by God like Sodom and Gomorrah.

96. 14:1

    For the LORD will have compassion on Jacob; once again He will choose Israel and settle them in their own land. The foreigner will join them and unite with the house of Jacob.

97. 14:2

    The nations will escort Israel and bring it to its homeland. Then the house of Israel will possess the nations as menservants and maidservants in the LORD’s land. They will make captives of their captors and rule over their oppressors.

98. 14:3

    On the day that the LORD gives you rest from your pain and torment, and from the hard labor into which you were forced,

99. 14:5

    The LORD has broken the staff of the wicked, the scepter of the rulers.

100. 14:13

     You said in your heart: “I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God. I will sit on the mount of assembly, in the far reaches of the north.

101. 14:22

     “I will rise up against them,” declares the LORD of Hosts. “I will cut off from Babylon her name and her remnant, her offspring and her posterity,” declares the LORD.

102. 14:23

     “I will make her a place for owls and for swamplands; I will sweep her away with the broom of destruction,” declares the LORD of Hosts.

103. 14:24

     The LORD of Hosts has sworn: “Surely, as I have planned, so will it be; as I have purposed, so will it stand.

104. 14:27

     The LORD of Hosts has purposed, and who can thwart Him? His hand is outstretched, so who can turn it back?

105. 14:32

     What answer will be given to the envoys of that nation? “The LORD has founded Zion, where His afflicted people will find refuge.”

106. 16:13

     This is the message that the LORD spoke earlier concerning Moab.

107. 16:14

     And now the LORD says, “In three years, as a hired worker counts the years, Moab’s splendor will become an object of contempt, with all her many people. And those who are left will be few and feeble.”

108. 17:3

     The fortress will disappear from Ephraim, and the sovereignty from Damascus. The remnant of Aram will be like the splendor of the Israelites,” declares the LORD of Hosts.

109. 17:6

     Yet gleanings will remain, like an olive tree that has been beaten—two or three berries atop the tree, four or five on its fruitful branches,” declares the LORD, the God of Israel.

110. 17:7

     In that day men will look to their Maker and turn their eyes to the Holy One of Israel.

111. 17:10

     For you have forgotten the God of your salvation and failed to remember the Rock of your refuge. Therefore, though you cultivate delightful plots and set out cuttings from exotic vines—

112. 17:13

     The nations rage like the rush of many waters. He rebukes them, and they flee far away, driven before the wind like chaff on the hills, like tumbleweeds before a gale.

113. 18:4

     For this is what the LORD has told me: “I will quietly look on from My dwelling place, like shimmering heat in the sunshine, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.”

114. 18:7

     At that time gifts will be brought to the LORD of Hosts—from a people tall and smooth-skinned, from a people widely feared, from a powerful nation of strange speech, whose land is divided by rivers—to Mount Zion, the place of the Name of the LORD of Hosts.

115. 19:1

     This is the burden against Egypt: Behold, the LORD rides on a swift cloud; He is coming to Egypt. The idols of Egypt will tremble before Him, and the hearts of the Egyptians will melt within them.

116. 19:4

     I will deliver the Egyptians into the hands of a harsh master, and a fierce king will rule over them,” declares the Lord GOD of Hosts.

117. 19:12

     Where are your wise men now? Let them tell you and reveal what the LORD of Hosts has planned against Egypt.

118. 19:14

     The LORD has poured into her a spirit of confusion. Egypt has been led astray in all she does, as a drunkard staggers through his own vomit.

119. 19:16

     In that day the Egyptians will be like women. They will tremble with fear beneath the uplifted hand of the LORD of Hosts, when He brandishes it against them.

120. 19:17

     The land of Judah will bring terror to Egypt; whenever Judah is mentioned, Egypt will tremble over what the LORD of Hosts has planned against it.

121. 19:18

     In that day five cities in the land of Egypt will speak the language of Canaan and swear allegiance to the LORD of Hosts. One of them will be called the City of the Sun.

122. 19:19

     In that day there will be an altar to the LORD in the center of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the LORD near her border.

123. 19:20

     It will be a sign and a witness to the LORD of Hosts in the land of Egypt. When they cry out to the LORD because of their oppressors, He will send them a savior and defender to rescue them.

124. 19:21

     The LORD will make Himself known to Egypt, and on that day Egypt will acknowledge the LORD. They will worship with sacrifices and offerings; they will make vows to the LORD and fulfill them.

125. 19:22

     And the LORD will strike Egypt with a plague; He will strike them but heal them. They will turn to the LORD, and He will hear their prayers and heal them.

126. 19:25

     The LORD of Hosts will bless them, saying, “Blessed be Egypt My people, Assyria My handiwork, and Israel My inheritance.”

127. 20:2

     the LORD had already spoken through Isaiah son of Amoz, saying, “Go, remove the sackcloth from your waist and the sandals from your feet.” And Isaiah did so, walking around naked and barefoot.

128. 20:3

     Then the LORD said, “Just as My servant Isaiah has gone naked and barefoot for three years as a sign and omen against Egypt and Cush,

129. 21:6

     For this is what the Lord says to me: “Go, post a lookout and have him report what he sees.

130. 21:10

     O my people, crushed on the threshing floor, I tell you what I have heard from the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel.

131. 21:16

     For this is what the Lord says to me: “Within one year, as a hired worker would count it, all the glory of Kedar will be gone.

132. 21:17

     The remaining archers, the warriors of Kedar, will be few.” For the LORD, the God of Israel, has spoken.

133. 22:5

     For the Lord GOD of Hosts has set a day of tumult and trampling and confusion in the Valley of Vision—of breaking down the walls and crying to the mountains.

134. 22:12

     On that day the Lord GOD of Hosts called for weeping and wailing, for shaven heads and the wearing of sackcloth.

135. 22:14

     The LORD of Hosts has revealed in my hearing: “Until your dying day, this sin of yours will never be atoned for,” says the Lord GOD of Hosts.

136. 22:15

     This is what the Lord GOD of Hosts says: “Go, say to Shebna, the steward in charge of the palace:

137. 22:17

     Look, O mighty man! The LORD is about to shake you violently. He will take hold of you,

138. 22:25

     In that day, declares the LORD of Hosts, the peg driven into a firm place will give way; it will be sheared off and fall, and the load upon it will be cut down.” Indeed, the LORD has spoken.

139. 23:9

     The LORD of Hosts planned it, to defile all its glorious beauty, to disgrace all the renowned of the earth.

140. 23:11

     The LORD has stretched out His hand over the sea; He has made kingdoms tremble. He has given a command that the strongholds of Canaan be destroyed.

141. 23:17

     And at the end of seventy years, the LORD will restore Tyre. Then she will return to hire as a prostitute and sell herself to all the kingdoms on the face of the earth.

142. 23:18

     Yet her profits and wages will be set apart to the LORD; they will not be stored or saved, for her profit will go to those who live before the LORD, for abundant food and fine clothing.

143. 24:1

     Behold, the LORD lays waste the earth and leaves it in ruins. He will twist its surface and scatter its inhabitants—

144. 24:3

     The earth will be utterly laid waste and thoroughly plundered. For the LORD has spoken this word.

145. 24:14

     They raise their voices, they shout for joy; from the west they proclaim the majesty of the LORD.

146. 24:15

     Therefore glorify the LORD in the east. Extol the name of the LORD, the God of Israel in the islands of the sea.

147. 24:21

     In that day the LORD will punish the host of heaven above and the kings of the earth below.

148. 24:23

     The moon will be confounded and the sun will be ashamed; for the LORD of Hosts will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before His elders with great glory.

149. 25:1

     O LORD, You are my God! I will exalt You; I will praise Your name. For You have worked wonders—plans formed long ago—in perfect faithfulness.

150. 25:6

     On this mountain the LORD of Hosts will prepare a lavish banquet for all the peoples, a feast of aged wine, of choice meat, of finely aged wine.

151. 25:8

     He will swallow up death forever. The Lord GOD will wipe away the tears from every face and remove the disgrace of His people from the whole earth. For the LORD has spoken.

152. 25:9

     And in that day it will be said, “Surely this is our God; we have waited for Him, and He has saved us. This is the LORD for whom we have waited. Let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation.”

153. 25:10

     For the hand of the LORD will rest on this mountain. But Moab will be trampled in his place as straw is trodden into the dung pile.

154. 26:1

     In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city; salvation is established as its walls and ramparts.

155. 26:4

     Trust in the LORD forever, because GOD the LORD is the Rock eternal.

156. 26:8

     Yes, we wait for You, O LORD; we walk in the path of Your judgments. Your name and renown are the desire of our souls.

157. 26:10

     Though grace is shown to the wicked man, he does not learn righteousness. In the land of righteousness he acts unjustly and fails to see the majesty of the LORD.

158. 26:11

     O LORD, Your hand is upraised, but they do not see it. They will see Your zeal for Your people and be put to shame. The fire set for Your enemies will consume them!

159. 26:12

     O LORD, You will establish peace for us. For all that we have accomplished, You have done for us.

160. 26:13

     O LORD our God, other lords besides You have ruled over us, but Your name alone do we confess.

161. 26:15

     You have enlarged the nation, O LORD; You have enlarged the nation. You have gained glory for Yourself; You have extended all the borders of the land.

162. 26:16

     O LORD, they sought You in their distress; when You disciplined them, they poured out a quiet prayer.

163. 26:17

     As a woman with child about to give birth writhes and cries out in pain, so were we in Your presence, O LORD.

164. 26:21

     For behold, the LORD is coming out of His dwelling to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. The earth will reveal her bloodshed and will no longer conceal her slain.

165. 27:1

     In that day the LORD will take His sharp, great, and mighty sword, and bring judgment on Leviathan the fleeing serpent—Leviathan the coiling serpent—and He will slay the dragon of the sea.

166. 27:3

     I, the LORD, am its keeper; I water it continually. I guard it night and day so no one can disturb it;

167. 27:12

     In that day the LORD will thresh from the flowing Euphrates to the Wadi of Egypt, and you, O Israelites, will be gathered one by one.

168. 27:13

     And in that day a great ram’s horn will sound, and those who were perishing in Assyria will come forth with those who were exiles in Egypt. And they will worship the LORD on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.

169. 28:2

     Behold, the Lord has one who is strong and mighty. Like a hailstorm or destructive tempest, like a driving rain or flooding downpour, he will smash that crown to the ground.

170. 28:5

     On that day the LORD of Hosts will be a crown of glory, a diadem of splendor to the remnant of His people,

171. 28:13

     Then the word of the LORD to them will become: “Order on order, order on order, line on line, line on line; a little here, a little there,” so that they will go stumbling backward and will be injured, ensnared, and captured.

172. 28:14

     Therefore hear the word of the LORD, O scoffers who rule this people in Jerusalem.

173. 28:16

     So this is what the Lord GOD says: “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; the one who believes will never be shaken.

174. 28:21

     For the LORD will rise up as at Mount Perazim. He will rouse Himself as in the Valley of Gibeon, to do His work, His strange work, and to perform His task, His disturbing task.

175. 28:22

     So now, do not mock, or your shackles will become heavier. Indeed, I have heard from the Lord GOD of Hosts a decree of destruction against the whole land.

176. 28:26

     For his God instructs and teaches him properly.

177. 28:29

     This also comes from the LORD of Hosts, who is wonderful in counsel and excellent in wisdom.

178. 29:6

     you will be visited by the LORD of Hosts with thunder and earthquake and loud noise, with windstorm and tempest and consuming flame of fire.

179. 29:10

     For the LORD has poured out on you a spirit of deep sleep. He has shut your eyes, O prophets; He has covered your heads, O seers.

180. 29:13

     Therefore the Lord said: “These people draw near to Me with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me. Their worship of Me is but rules taught by men.

181. 29:15

     Woe to those who dig deep to hide their plans from the LORD. In darkness they do their works and say, “Who sees us, and who will know?”

182. 29:19

     The humble will increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

183. 29:22

     Therefore the LORD who redeemed Abraham says of the house of Jacob: “No longer will Jacob be ashamed and no more will his face grow pale.

184. 29:23

     For when he sees his children around him, the work of My hands, they will honor My name, they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and they will stand in awe of the God of Israel.

185. 30:1

     “Woe to the rebellious children,” declares the LORD, “to those who carry out a plan that is not Mine, who form an alliance, but against My will, heaping up sin upon sin.

186. 30:9

     These are rebellious people, deceitful children, children unwilling to obey the LORD’s instruction.

187. 30:11

     Get out of the way; turn off the road. Rid us of the Holy One of Israel!”

188. 30:12

     Therefore this is what the Holy One of Israel says: “Because you have rejected this message, trusting in oppression and relying on deceit,

189. 30:15

     For the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel, has said: “By repentance and rest you would be saved; your strength would lie in quiet confidence—but you were not willing.”

190. 30:18

     Therefore the LORD longs to be gracious to you; therefore He rises to show you compassion, for the LORD is a just God. Blessed are all who wait for Him.

191. 30:20

     The Lord will give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, but your Teacher will no longer hide Himself—with your own eyes you will see Him.

192. 30:26

     The light of the moon will be as bright as the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter—like the light of seven days—on the day that the LORD binds up the brokenness of His people and heals the wounds He has inflicted.

193. 30:27

     Behold, the Name of the LORD comes from afar, with burning anger and dense smoke. His lips are full of fury, and His tongue is like a consuming fire.

194. 30:29

     You will sing as on the night of a holy festival, and your heart will rejoice like one who walks to the music of a flute, going up to the mountain of the LORD, to the Rock of Israel.

195. 30:30

     And the LORD will cause His majestic voice to be heard and His mighty arm to be revealed, striking in angry wrath with a flame of consuming fire, and with cloudburst, storm, and hailstones.

196. 30:31

     For Assyria will be shattered at the voice of the LORD; He will strike them with His scepter.

197. 30:32

     And with every stroke of the rod of punishment that the LORD brings down on them, the tambourines and lyres will sound as He battles with weapons brandished.

198. 30:33

     For Topheth has long been prepared; it has been made ready for the king. Its funeral 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.

199. 31:1

     Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, who rely on horses, who trust in their abundance of chariots and in their multitude of horsemen. They do not look to the Holy One of Israel; they do not seek the LORD.

200. 31:3

     But the Egyptians are men, not God; their horses are flesh, not spirit. When the LORD stretches out His hand, the helper will stumble, and the one he helps will fall; both will perish together.

201. 31:4

     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.

202. 31:5

     Like birds hovering overhead, so the LORD of Hosts will protect Jerusalem. He will shield it and deliver it; He will pass over it and preserve it.”

203. 31:9

     Their rock will pass away for fear, and their princes will panic at the sight of the battle standard,” declares the LORD, whose fire is in Zion, whose furnace is in Jerusalem.

204. 32:6

     For a fool speaks foolishness; his mind plots iniquity. He practices ungodliness and speaks falsely about the LORD; he leaves the hungry empty and deprives the thirsty of drink.

205. 33:2

     O LORD, be gracious to us! We wait for You. Be our strength every morning and our salvation in time of trouble.

206. 33:5

     The LORD is exalted, for He dwells on high; He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.

207. 33:6

     He will be the sure foundation for your times, a storehouse of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of the LORD is Zion’s treasure.

208. 33:10

     “Now I will arise,” says the LORD. “Now I will lift Myself up. Now I will be exalted.

209. 33:21

     But 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.

210. 33:22

     For the LORD is our Judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our King. It is He who will save us.

211. 34:2

     The LORD is angry with all the nations and furious with all their armies. He will devote them to destruction; He will give them over to slaughter.

212. 34:6

     The sword of the LORD is bathed in blood. It drips with fat—with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams. For the LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah, a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

213. 34:8

     For the LORD has a day of vengeance, a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.

214. 34:16

     Search and read the scroll of the LORD: Not one of these will go missing, not one will lack her mate, because He has ordered it by His mouth, and He will gather them by His Spirit.

215. 35:2

     It will bloom profusely and rejoice with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon will be given to it, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon. They will see the glory of the LORD, the splendor of our God.

216. 35:4

     Say to those with anxious hearts: “Be strong, do not fear! Behold, your God will come with vengeance. With divine retribution He will come to save you.”

217. 35:10

     So the redeemed of the LORD will return and enter Zion with singing, crowned with everlasting joy. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee.

218. 36:7

     But if you say to me, ‘We trust in the LORD our God,’ is He not the One whose high places and altars Hezekiah has removed, saying to Judah and Jerusalem, ‘You must worship before this altar’?

219. 36:10

     So now, was it apart from the LORD that I have come up against this land to destroy it? The LORD Himself said to me, ‘Go up against this land and destroy it.’”

220. 36:15

     Do not let Hezekiah persuade you to trust in the LORD when he says, ‘The LORD will surely deliver us; this city will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.’

221. 36:18

     Do not let Hezekiah mislead you when he says, ‘The LORD will deliver us.’ Has the god of any nation ever delivered his land from the hand of the king of Assyria?

222. 36:20

     Who among all the gods of these lands has delivered his land from my hand? How then can the LORD deliver Jerusalem from my hand?”

223. 37:1

     On hearing this report, King Hezekiah tore his clothes, put on sackcloth, and entered the house of the LORD.

224. 37:4

     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.”

225. 37:6

     who replied, “Tell your master that this is what the LORD says: ‘Do not be afraid of the words you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed Me.

226. 37:10

     “Give this message to Hezekiah king of Judah: ‘Do not let your God, in whom you trust, deceive you by saying that Jerusalem will not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.

227. 37:14

     So Hezekiah received the letter from the messengers, read it, and went up to the house of the LORD and spread it out before the LORD.

228. 37:15

     And Hezekiah prayed to the LORD:

229. 37:16

     “O LORD of Hosts, God of Israel, enthroned above the cherubim, You alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth. You made the heavens and the earth.

230. 37:17

     Incline Your ear, O LORD, and hear; open Your eyes, O LORD, and see. Listen to all the words that Sennacherib has sent to defy the living God.

231. 37:18

     Truly, O LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all these countries and their lands.

232. 37:20

     And now, O LORD our God, save us from his hand, so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You alone, O LORD, are God.”

233. 37:21

     Then Isaiah son of Amoz sent a message to Hezekiah: “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: Because you have prayed to Me concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria,

234. 37:22

     this is the word that the LORD has spoken against him: ‘The Virgin Daughter of Zion despises you and mocks you; the Daughter of Jerusalem shakes her head behind you.

235. 37:23

     Whom have you taunted and blasphemed? Against whom have you raised your voice and lifted your eyes in pride? Against the Holy One of Israel!

236. 37:24

     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.

237. 37:32

     For a remnant will go forth from Jerusalem, and survivors from Mount Zion. The zeal of the LORD of Hosts will accomplish this.

238. 37:33

     So this is what the LORD says about the king of Assyria: ‘He will not enter this city or shoot an arrow into it. He will not come before it with a shield or build up a siege ramp against it.

239. 37:34

     He will go back the way he came, and he will not enter this city,’ declares the LORD.

240. 37:36

     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!

241. 38:1

     In those days Hezekiah became mortally ill. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz came to him and said, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Put your house in order, for you are about to die; you will not recover.’”

242. 38:2

     Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the LORD,

243. 38:3

     saying, “Please, O LORD, remember how I have walked before You faithfully and with wholehearted devotion; I have done what is good in Your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.

244. 38:4

     And the word of the LORD came to Isaiah, saying,

245. 38:5

     “Go and tell Hezekiah that this is what the LORD, the God of your father David, says: ‘I have heard your prayer; I have seen your tears. Behold, I will add fifteen years to your life.

246. 38:7

     This will be a sign to you from the LORD that He will do what He has promised:

247. 38:11

     I said, “I will never again see the LORD, even the LORD, in the land of the living; I will no longer look on mankind with those who dwell in this world.

248. 38:14

     I chirp like a swallow or crane; I moan like a dove. My eyes grow weak as I look upward. O Lord, I am oppressed; be my security.”

249. 38:16

     O Lord, by such things men live, and in all of them my spirit finds life. You have restored me to health and have let me live.

250. 38:20

     The LORD will save me; we will play songs on stringed instruments all the days of our lives in the house of the LORD.

251. 38:22

     And Hezekiah had asked, “What will be the sign that I will go up to the house of the LORD?”

252. 39:5

     Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of the LORD of Hosts:

253. 39:6

     The time will surely come when everything in your palace and all that your fathers have stored up until this day will be carried off to Babylon. Nothing will be left, says the LORD.

254. 39:8

     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.”

255. 40:1

     “Comfort, comfort My people,” says your God.

256. 40:2

     “Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and proclaim to her that her forced labor has been completed; her iniquity has been pardoned. For she has received from the hand of the LORD double for all her sins.”

257. 40:5

     And the glory of the LORD will be revealed, and all humanity together will see it.” For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.

258. 40:7

     The grass withers and the flowers fall when the breath of the LORD blows on them; indeed, the people are grass.

259. 40:8

     The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever.”

260. 40:9

     Go up on a high mountain, O Zion, herald of good news. Raise your voice loudly, O Jerusalem, herald of good news. Lift it up, do not be afraid! Say to the cities of Judah, “Here is your God!”

261. 40:10

     Behold, the Lord GOD comes with might, and His arm establishes His rule. His reward is with Him, and His recompense accompanies Him.

262. 40:13

     Who has directed the Spirit of the LORD, or informed Him as His counselor?

263. 40:18

     To whom will you liken God? To what image will you compare Him?

264. 40:25

     “To whom will you liken Me, or who is My equal?” asks the Holy One.

265. 40:27

     Why do you say, O Jacob, and why do you assert, O Israel, “My way is hidden from the LORD, and my claim is ignored by my God”?

266. 40:28

     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.

267. 40:31

     But those who wait upon the LORD will renew their strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint.

268. 41:4

     Who has performed this and carried it out, calling forth the generations from the beginning? I, the LORD—the first and the last—I am He.”

269. 41:10

     Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will surely help you; I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.

270. 41:13

     For I am the LORD your God, who takes hold of your right hand and tells you: Do not fear, I will help you.

271. 41:14

     Do not fear, O Jacob, you worm, O few men of Israel. I will help you,” declares the LORD. “Your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.

272. 41:16

     You will winnow them, and a wind will carry them away; a gale will scatter them. But you will rejoice in the LORD; you will glory in the Holy One of Israel.

273. 41:17

     The poor and needy seek water, but there is none; their tongues are parched with thirst. I, the LORD, will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them.

274. 41:20

     so that all may see and know, may consider and understand, that the hand of the LORD has done this and the Holy One of Israel has created it.”

275. 41:21

     “Present your case,” says the LORD. “Submit your arguments,” says the King of Jacob.

276. 42:5

     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:

277. 42:6

     “I, the LORD, have called you for a righteous purpose, and I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and appoint you to be a covenant for the people and a light to the nations,

278. 42:8

     I am the LORD; that is My name! I will not yield My glory to another or My praise to idols.

279. 42:10

     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.

280. 42:12

     Let them give glory to the LORD and declare His praise in the islands.

281. 42:13

     The LORD goes forth like a mighty one; He stirs up His zeal like a warrior. He shouts; yes, He roars in triumph over His enemies:

282. 42:19

     Who is blind but My servant, or deaf like the messenger I am sending? Who is blind like My covenant partner, or blind like the servant of the LORD?

283. 42:21

     The LORD was pleased, for the sake of His righteousness, to magnify His law and make it glorious.

284. 42:24

     Who gave Jacob up for spoil, and Israel to the plunderers? Was it not the LORD, against whom we have sinned? They were unwilling to walk in His ways, and they would not obey His law.

285. 43:1

     But now, this is what the LORD says—He who created you, O Jacob, and He who formed you, O Israel: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine!

286. 43:3

     For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I give Egypt for your ransom, Cush and Seba in your place.

287. 43:10

     “You are My witnesses,” declares the LORD, “and My servant whom I have chosen, so that you may consider and believe Me and understand that I am He. Before Me no god was formed, and after Me none will come.

288. 43:11

     I, yes I, am the LORD, and there is no Savior but Me.

289. 43:12

     I alone decreed and saved and proclaimed—I, and not some foreign god among you. So you are My witnesses,” declares the LORD, “that I am God.

290. 43:14

     Thus says the LORD your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “For your sake, I will send to Babylon and bring them all as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, in the ships in which they rejoice.

291. 43:15

     I am the LORD, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, and your King.”

292. 43:16

     Thus says the LORD, who makes a way in the sea and a path through the surging waters,

293. 44:2

     This is the word of the LORD, your Maker, who formed you from the womb and who will help you: “Do not be afraid, O Jacob My servant, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.

294. 44:5

     One will say, ‘I belong to the LORD,’ another will call himself by the name of Jacob, and still another will write on his hand, ‘The LORD’s,’ and will take the name of Israel.”

295. 44:6

     Thus says the LORD, the King and Redeemer of Israel, the LORD of Hosts: “I am the first and I am the last, and there is no God but Me.

296. 44:8

     Do not tremble or fear. Have I not told you and declared it long ago? You are My witnesses! Is there any God but Me? There is no other Rock; I know not one.”

297. 44:23

     Sing for joy, O heavens, for the LORD has done this; shout aloud, O depths of the earth. Break forth in song, O mountains, you forests and all your trees. For the LORD has redeemed Jacob, and revealed His glory in Israel.

298. 44:24

     Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer who formed you from the womb: “I am the LORD, who has made all things, who alone stretched out the heavens, who by Myself spread out the earth,

299. 45:1

     This is what the LORD says to Cyrus His anointed, whose right hand I have grasped to subdue nations before him, to disarm kings, to open the doors before him, so that the gates will not be shut:

300. 45:3

     I will give you the treasures of darkness and the riches hidden in secret places, so that you may know that I am the LORD, the God of Israel, who calls you by name.

301. 45:5

     I am the LORD, and there is no other; there is no God but Me. I will equip you for battle, though you have not known Me,

302. 45:6

     so that all may know, from where the sun rises to where it sets, that there is none but Me; I am the LORD, and there is no other.

303. 45:7

     I form the light and create the darkness; I bring prosperity and create calamity. I, the LORD, do all these things.

304. 45:8

     Drip down, O heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness. Let the earth open up that salvation may sprout and righteousness spring up with it; I, the LORD, have created it.

305. 45:11

     Thus says the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and its Maker: “Concerning things to come, do you question Me about My sons, or instruct Me in the work of My hands?

306. 45:13

     I will raise up Cyrus in righteousness, and I will make all his ways straight. He will rebuild My city and set My exiles free, but not for payment or reward, says the LORD of Hosts.”

307. 45:14

     This is what the LORD says: “The products of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush, along with the Sabeans, men of stature, will come over to you and will be yours; they will trudge behind you; they will come over in chains and bow down to you. They will confess to you: ‘God is indeed with you, and there is no other; there is no other God.’”

308. 45:15

     Truly You are a God who hides Himself, O God of Israel, the Savior.

309. 45:17

     But Israel will be saved by the LORD with an everlasting salvation; you will not be put to shame or humiliated, to ages everlasting.

310. 45:18

     For thus says the LORD, who created the heavens—He is God; He formed the earth and fashioned it; He established it; He did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited: “I am the LORD, and there is no other.

311. 45:19

     I have not spoken in secret, from a place in a land of darkness. I did not say to the descendants of Jacob, ‘Seek Me in a wasteland.’ I, the LORD, speak the truth; I say what is right.

312. 45:21

     Speak up and present your case—yes, let them take counsel together. Who foretold this long ago? Who announced it from ancient times? Was it not I, the LORD? There is no other God but Me, a righteous God and Savior; there is none but Me.

313. 45:22

     Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.

314. 45:24

     Surely they will say of Me, ‘In the LORD alone are righteousness and strength.’” All who rage against Him will come to Him and be put to shame.

315. 45:25

     In the LORD all descendants of Israel will be justified and will exult.

316. 46:9

     Remember what happened long ago, for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me.

317. 47:4

     Our Redeemer—the LORD of Hosts is His name—is the Holy One of Israel.

318. 48:1

     “Listen to this, O house of Jacob, you who are called by the name of Israel, who have descended from the line of Judah, who swear by the name of the LORD, who invoke the God of Israel—but not in truth or righteousness—

319. 48:2

     who indeed call yourselves after the holy city and lean on the God of Israel; the LORD of Hosts is His name.

320. 48:14

     Come together, all of you, and listen: Which of the idols has foretold these things? The LORD’s chosen ally will carry out His desire against Babylon, and His arm will be against the Chaldeans.

321. 48:16

     Come near to Me and listen to this: From the beginning I have not spoken in secret; from the time it happened, I was there.” And now the Lord GOD has sent me, accompanied by His Spirit.

322. 48:17

     Thus says the LORD your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I am the LORD your God, who teaches you for your benefit, who directs you in the way you should go.

323. 48:20

     Leave Babylon! Flee from the Chaldeans! Declare it with a shout of joy, proclaim it, let it go out to the ends of the earth, saying, “The LORD has redeemed His servant Jacob!”

324. 48:22

     “There is no peace,” says the LORD, “for the wicked.”

325. 49:1

     Listen to Me, O islands; pay attention, O distant peoples: The LORD called Me from the womb; from the body of My mother He named Me.

326. 49:4

     But I said, “I have labored in vain, I have spent My strength in futility and vanity; yet My vindication is with the LORD, and My reward is with My God.”

327. 49:5

     And now says the LORD, who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant, to bring Jacob back to Him, that Israel might be gathered to Him—for I am honored in the sight of the LORD, and My God is My strength—

328. 49:7

     Thus says the LORD, the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel, to Him who was despised and abhorred by the nation, to the Servant of rulers: “Kings will see You and rise, and princes will bow down, because of the LORD, who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen You.”

329. 49:8

     This is what the LORD says: “In the time of favor I will answer You, and in the day of salvation I will help You; I will keep You and appoint You to be a covenant for the people, to restore the land, to apportion its desolate inheritances,

330. 49:13

     Shout for joy, O heavens; rejoice, O earth; break forth in song, O mountains! For the LORD has comforted His people, and He will have compassion on His afflicted ones.

331. 49:14

     But Zion said, “The LORD has forsaken me; the Lord has forgotten me!”

332. 49:18

     Lift up your eyes and look around. They all gather together; they come to you. As surely as I live,” declares the LORD, “you will wear them all as jewelry and put them on like a bride.

333. 49:22

     This is what the Lord GOD says: “Behold, I will lift up My hand to the nations, and raise My banner to the peoples. They will bring your sons in their arms and carry your daughters on their shoulders.

334. 49:23

     Kings will be your foster fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers. They will bow to you facedown and lick the dust at your feet. Then you will know that I am the LORD; those who hope in Me will never be put to shame.”

335. 49:25

     Indeed, this is what the LORD says: “Even the captives of the mighty will be taken away, and the plunder of the tyrant will be retrieved; I will contend with those who contend with you, and I will save your children.

336. 49:26

     I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh; they will be drunk on their own blood, as with wine. Then all mankind will know that I, the LORD, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”

337. 50:1

     This is what the LORD says: “Where is your mother’s certificate of divorce with which I sent her away? Or to which of My creditors did I sell you? Look, you were sold for your iniquities, and for your transgressions your mother was sent away.

338. 50:4

     The Lord GOD has given Me the tongue of discipleship, to sustain the weary with a word. He awakens Me morning by morning; He awakens My ear to listen as a disciple.

339. 50:5

     The Lord GOD has opened My ears, and I have not been rebellious, nor have I turned back.

340. 50:7

     Because the Lord GOD helps Me, I have not been disgraced; therefore I have set My face like flint, and I know that I will not be put to shame.

341. 50:9

     Surely the Lord GOD helps Me. Who is there to condemn Me? See, they will all wear out like a garment; the moths will devour them.

342. 50:10

     Who among you fears the LORD and obeys the voice of His Servant? Who among you walks in darkness and has no light? Let him trust in the name of the LORD; let him lean on his God.

343. 51:1

     “Listen to Me, you who pursue righteousness, you who seek the LORD: Look to the rock from which you were cut, and to the quarry from which you were hewn.

344. 51:3

     For the LORD will comfort Zion and will look with compassion on all her ruins; He will make her wilderness like Eden and her desert like the garden of the LORD. Joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and melodious song.

345. 51:9

     Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD. Wake up as in days past, as in generations of old. Was it not You who cut Rahab to pieces, who pierced through the dragon?

346. 51:11

     So the redeemed of the LORD will return and enter Zion with singing, crowned with everlasting joy. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee.

347. 51:13

     But you have forgotten the LORD, your Maker, who stretched out the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth. You live in terror all day long because of the fury of the oppressor who is bent on destruction. But where is the fury of the oppressor?

348. 51:15

     For I am the LORD your God who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar—the LORD of Hosts is His name.

349. 51:17

     Awake, awake! Rise up, O Jerusalem, you who have drunk from the hand of the LORD the cup of His fury; you who have drained the goblet to the dregs—the cup that makes men stagger.

350. 51:20

     Your sons have fainted; they lie at the head of every street, like an antelope in a net. They are full of the wrath of the LORD, the rebuke of your God.

351. 51:22

     Thus says your Lord, the LORD, even your God, who defends His people: “See, I have removed from your hand the cup of staggering. From that goblet, the cup of My fury, you will never drink again.

352. 52:3

     For this is what the LORD says: “You were sold for nothing, and without money you will be redeemed.”

353. 52:4

     For this is what the Lord GOD says: “At first My people went down to Egypt to live, then Assyria oppressed them without cause.

354. 52:5

     And now what have I here? declares the LORD. For My people have been taken without cause; those who rule them taunt, declares the LORD, and My name is blasphemed continually all day long.

355. 52:7

     How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!”

356. 52:8

     Listen! Your watchmen lift up their voices, together they shout for joy. For every eye will see when the LORD returns to Zion.

357. 52:9

     Break forth in joy, sing together, O ruins of Jerusalem, for the LORD has comforted His people; He has redeemed Jerusalem.

358. 52:10

     The LORD has bared His holy arm in the sight of all the nations; all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.

359. 52:11

     Depart, depart, go out from there! Touch no unclean thing; come out from it, purify yourselves, you who carry the vessels of the LORD.

360. 52:12

     For you will not leave in a hurry nor flee in haste, for the LORD goes before you, and the God of Israel is your rear guard.

361. 53:1

     Who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?

362. 53:4

     Surely He took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows; yet we considered Him stricken, struck down by God, and afflicted.

363. 53:6

     We all like sheep have gone astray, each one has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid upon Him the iniquity of us all.

364. 53:10

     Yet it was the LORD’s will to crush Him and to cause Him to suffer; and when His soul is made a guilt offering, He will see His offspring, He will prolong His days, and the good pleasure of the LORD will prosper in His hand.

365. 54:1

     “Shout for joy, O barren woman, who bears no children; break forth in song and cry aloud, you who have never travailed; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband,” says the LORD.

366. 54:5

     For your husband is your Maker—the LORD of Hosts is His name—the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; He is called the God of all the earth.

367. 54:6

     For the LORD has called you back, like a wife deserted and wounded in spirit, like the rejected wife of one’s youth,” says your God.

368. 54:8

     In a surge of anger I hid My face from you for a moment, but with everlasting kindness I will have compassion on you,” says the LORD your Redeemer.

369. 54:10

     Though the mountains may be removed and the hills may be shaken, My loving devotion will not depart from you, and My covenant of peace will not be broken,” says the LORD, who has compassion on you.

370. 54:13

     Then all your sons will be taught by the LORD, and great will be their prosperity.

371. 54:17

     No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their vindication is from Me,” declares the LORD.

372. 55:5

     Surely you will summon a nation you do not know, and nations who do not know you will run to you. For the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, has bestowed glory on you.”

373. 55:6

     Seek the LORD while He may be found; call on Him while He is near.

374. 55:7

     Let the wicked man forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the LORD, that He may have compassion, and to our God, for He will freely pardon.

375. 55:8

     “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,” declares the LORD.

376. 55:13

     Instead of the thornbush, the cypress will grow, and instead of the brier, the myrtle will spring up; this will make a name for the LORD, an everlasting sign, never to be destroyed.”

377. 56:1

     This is what the LORD says: “Maintain justice and do what is right, for My salvation is coming soon, and My righteousness will be revealed.

378. 56:3

     Let no foreigner who has joined himself to the LORD say, “The LORD will utterly exclude me from His people.” And let the eunuch not say, “I am but a dry tree.”

379. 56:4

     For this is what the LORD says: “To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths, who choose what pleases Me and hold fast to My covenant—

380. 56:6

     And the foreigners who join themselves to the LORD to minister to Him, to love the name of the LORD, and to be His servants—all who keep the Sabbath without profaning it and who hold fast to My covenant—

381. 56:8

     Thus declares the Lord GOD, who gathers the dispersed of Israel: “I will gather to them still others besides those already gathered.”

382. 57:19

     bringing praise to their lips. Peace, peace to those far and near,” says the LORD, “and I will heal them.”

383. 57:21

     “There is no peace,” says my God, “for the wicked.”

384. 58:2

     For day after day they seek Me and delight to know My ways, like a nation that does what is right and does not forsake the justice of their God. They ask Me for righteous judgments; they delight in the nearness of God.”

385. 58:5

     Is this the fast I have chosen: a day for a man to deny himself, to bow his head like a reed, and to spread out sackcloth and ashes? Will you call this a fast and a day acceptable to the LORD?

386. 58:8

     Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will come quickly. Your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard.

387. 58:9

     Then you will call, and the LORD will answer; you will cry out, and He will say, ‘Here I am.’ If you remove the yoke from your midst, the pointing of the finger and malicious talk,

388. 58:11

     The LORD will always guide you; He will satisfy you in a sun-scorched land and strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.

389. 58:13

     If you turn your foot from breaking the Sabbath, from doing as you please on My holy day, if you call the Sabbath a delight, and the LORD’s holy day honorable, if you honor it by not going your own way or seeking your own pleasure or speaking idle words,

390. 58:14

     then you will delight yourself in the LORD, and I will make you ride on the heights of the land and feed you with the heritage of your father Jacob.” For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.

391. 59:1

     Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, nor His ear too dull to hear.

392. 59:2

     But your iniquities have built barriers between you and your God, and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He does not hear.

393. 59:13

     rebelling and denying the LORD, turning away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering lies from the heart.

394. 59:15

     Truth is missing, and whoever turns from evil becomes prey. The LORD looked and was displeased that there was no justice.

395. 59:19

     So shall they fear the name of the LORD where the sun sets, and His glory where it rises. For He will come like a raging flood, driven by the breath of the LORD.

396. 59:20

     “The Redeemer will come to Zion, to those in Jacob who turn from transgression,” declares the LORD.

397. 59:21

     “As for Me, this is My covenant with them,” says the LORD. “My Spirit will not depart from you, and My words that I have put in your mouth will not depart from your mouth or from the mouths of your children and grandchildren, from now on and forevermore,” says the LORD.

398. 60:1

     Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you.

399. 60:2

     For behold, darkness covers the earth, and thick darkness is over the peoples; but the LORD will rise upon you, and His glory will appear over you.

400. 60:6

     Caravans of camels will cover your land, young camels of Midian and Ephah, and all from Sheba will come, bearing gold and frankincense and proclaiming the praises of the LORD.

401. 60:9

     Surely the islands will wait for Me, with the ships of Tarshish in the lead, to bring your children from afar, with their silver and gold, to the honor of the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, for He has glorified you.

402. 60:14

     The sons of your oppressors will come and bow down to you; all who reviled you will fall facedown at your feet and call you the City of the LORD, Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

403. 60:16

     You will drink the milk of nations and nurse at the breasts of royalty; you will know that I, the LORD, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

404. 60:19

     No longer will the sun be your light by day, nor the brightness of the moon shine on your night; for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your splendor.

405. 60:20

     Your sun will no longer set, and your moon will not wane; for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and the days of your sorrow will cease.

406. 60:22

     The least of you will become a thousand, and the smallest a mighty nation. I am the LORD; in its time I will accomplish it quickly.

407. 61:1

     The Spirit of the Lord GOD is on Me, because the LORD has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and freedom to the prisoners,

408. 61:2

     to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor and the day of our God’s vengeance, to comfort all who mourn,

409. 61:3

     to console the mourners in Zion—to give them a crown of beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and a garment of praise for a spirit of despair. So they will be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.

410. 61:6

     But you will be called the priests of the LORD; they will speak of you as ministers of our God; you will feed on the wealth of nations, and you will boast in their riches.

411. 61:8

     For I, the LORD, love justice; I hate robbery and iniquity; in My faithfulness I will give them their recompense and make an everlasting covenant with them.

412. 61:9

     Their descendants will be known among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples. All who see them will acknowledge that they are a people the LORD has blessed.

413. 61:10

     I will rejoice greatly in the LORD, my soul will exult in my God; for He has clothed me with garments of salvation and wrapped me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom wears a priestly headdress, as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

414. 61:11

     For as the earth brings forth its growth, and as a garden enables seed to spring up, so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring up before all the nations.

415. 62:2

     Nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory. You will be called by a new name that the mouth of the LORD will bestow.

416. 62:3

     You will be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, a royal diadem in the palm of your God.

417. 62:4

     No longer will you be called Forsaken, nor your land named Desolate; but you will be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for the LORD will take delight in you, and your land will be His bride.

418. 62:5

     For as a young man marries a young woman, so your sons will marry you; and as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so your God will rejoice over you.

419. 62:6

     On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have posted watchmen; they will never be silent day or night. You who call on the LORD shall take no rest for yourselves,

420. 62:8

     The LORD has sworn by His right hand and by His mighty arm: “Never again will I give your grain to your enemies for food, nor will foreigners drink the new wine for which you have toiled.

421. 62:9

     For those who harvest grain will eat it and praise the LORD, and those who gather grapes will drink the wine in My holy courts.”

422. 62:11

     Behold, the LORD has proclaimed to the ends of the earth, “Say to Daughter Zion: See, your Savior comes! Look, His reward is with Him, and His recompense goes before Him.”

423. 62:12

     And they will be called the Holy People, the Redeemed of The LORD; and you will be called Sought Out, A City Not Forsaken.

424. 63:7

     I will make known the LORD’s loving devotion and His praiseworthy acts, because of all that the LORD has done for us—the many good things for the house of Israel according to His great compassion and loving devotion.

425. 63:8

     For He said, “They are surely My people, sons who will not be disloyal.” So He became their Savior.

426. 63:14

     Like cattle going down to the valley, the Spirit of the LORD gave them rest. You led Your people this way to make for Yourself a glorious name.

427. 63:16

     Yet You are our Father, though Abraham does not know us and Israel does not acknowledge us. You, O LORD, are our Father; our Redeemer from Everlasting is Your name.

428. 63:17

     Why, O LORD, do You make us stray from Your ways and harden our hearts from fearing You? Return, for the sake of Your servants, the tribes of Your heritage.

429. 64:4

     From ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides You, who acts on behalf of those who wait for Him.

430. 64:8

     But now, O LORD, You are our Father; we are the clay, and You are the potter; we are all the work of Your hand.

431. 64:9

     Do not be angry, O LORD, beyond measure; do not remember our iniquity forever. Oh, look upon us, we pray; we are all Your people!

432. 64:12

     After all this, O LORD, will You restrain Yourself? Will You keep silent and afflict us beyond measure?

433. 65:7

     both for your iniquities and for those of your fathers,” says the LORD. “Because they burned incense on the mountains and scorned Me on the hills, I will measure into their laps full payment for their former deeds.”

434. 65:8

     This is what the LORD says: “As the new wine is found in a cluster of grapes, and men say, ‘Do not destroy it, for it contains a blessing,’ so I will act on behalf of My servants; I will not destroy them all.

435. 65:11

     But you who forsake the LORD, who forget My holy mountain, who set a table for Fortune and fill bowls of mixed wine for Destiny,

436. 65:13

     Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: “My servants will eat, but you will go hungry; My servants will drink, but you will go thirsty; My servants will rejoice, but you will be put to shame.

437. 65:15

     You will leave behind your name as a curse for My chosen ones, and the Lord GOD will slay you; but to His servants He will give another name.

438. 65:16

     Whoever invokes a blessing in the land will do so by the God of truth, and whoever takes an oath in the land will swear by the God of truth. For the former troubles will be forgotten and hidden from My sight.

439. 65:23

     They will not labor in vain or bear children doomed to disaster; for they will be a people blessed by the LORD—they and their descendants with them.

440. 65:25

     The wolf and the lamb will feed together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox, but the food of the serpent will be dust. They will neither harm nor destroy on all My holy mountain,” says the LORD.

441. 66:1

     This is what the LORD says: “Heaven is My throne, and earth is My footstool. What kind of house will you build for Me? Or where will My place of repose be?

442. 66:2

     Has not My hand made all these things? And so they came into being,” declares the LORD. “This is the one I will esteem: he who is humble and contrite in spirit, who trembles at My word.

443. 66:5

     You who tremble at His word, hear the word of the LORD: “Your brothers who hate you and exclude you because of My name have said, ‘Let the LORD be glorified that we may see your joy!’ But they will be put to shame.”

444. 66:6

     Hear the uproar from the city; listen to the voice from the temple! It is the voice of the LORD, repaying His enemies what they deserve!

445. 66:9

     Shall I bring a baby to the point of birth and not deliver it?” says the LORD. “Or will I who deliver close the womb?” says your God.

446. 66:12

     For this is what the LORD says: “I will extend peace to her like a river, and the wealth of nations like a flowing stream; you will nurse and be carried on her arm, and bounced upon her knees.

447. 66:14

     When you see, you will rejoice, and you will flourish like grass; then the hand of the LORD will be revealed to His servants, but His wrath will be shown to His enemies.

448. 66:15

     For behold, the LORD will come with fire—His chariots are like a whirlwind—to execute His anger with fury and His rebuke with flames of fire.

449. 66:16

     For by fire and by His sword, the LORD will execute judgment on all flesh, and many will be slain by the LORD.

450. 66:17

     “Those who consecrate and purify themselves to enter the groves—to follow one in the center of those who eat the flesh of swine and vermin and rats—will perish together,” declares the LORD.

451. 66:20

     And they will bring all your brothers from all the nations as a gift to the LORD on horses and chariots and wagons, on mules and camels, to My holy mountain Jerusalem,” says the LORD, “just as the Israelites bring an offering in a clean vessel to the house of the LORD.”

452. 66:21

     “And I will select some of them as priests and Levites,” says the LORD.

453. 66:22

     “For just as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, will endure before Me,” declares the LORD, “so your descendants and your name will endure.

454. 66:23

     From one New Moon to another and from one Sabbath to another, all mankind will come to worship before Me,” says the LORD.
