Verse Concepts Now we [all] know that everything the law says applies to those who are under [obligation to obey] that law, [Note: Here "the law" appears to refer to the Old Testament Scriptures generally, since Psalms and Isaiah are quoted. See verses 10-18]. This is so that the mouth of every objector may be stopped [i.e., from making excuses for his sin], and thereby bring the entire world under God's judgment [i.e., both Jews and Gentiles].
And Isaiah cries out about Israel, "Although the sons of Israel are as numberless as the sands of the sea, only a remnant of them will be saved,

I said: Turn away from me. Let me weep bitterly. Do not try to console me over the destruction of my people. The Lord Jehovah of Hosts has a day of tumult, trampling and terror in the Valley of Vision. It is a day of battering down walls and of crying out to the mountains.
Isaiah the prophet went to King Hezekiah and asked: What did those men say, and where did they come from? Hezekiah replied: They came from the distant land of Babylon. The prophet asked: What did they see in your palace? They saw everything in my palace, Hezekiah said. There is nothing among my treasures that I did not show them. Isaiah said to Hezekiah: Hear the word of the Jehovah of Hosts: read more.
The time will 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 Jehovah.

Isaiah » Prophesies in the days of uzziah, jotham, ahaz, and hezekiah, kings of judah
This is the vision seen by Isaiah the son of Amoz. It is about Judah and Jerusalem at the time of Kings Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah.
The supreme commander, sent by Sargon king of Assyria, fought against Ashdod and captured it.
In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw (discerned) Jehovah seated on a throne, high and exalted. The train of his robe filled the Temple.
It was Hezekiah's fourteenth year as king. King Sennacherib of Assyria attacked all the fortified cities of Judah and captured them.
Jehovah of Hosts is determined to do this. He has stretched out his arm to punish, and no one can stop him.
Jehovah said to Isaiah: You and your son Shear-ja'shub should go out to meet Ahaz at the end of the conduit of the upper pool on the highway to the (laundryman's field) Fuller's Field.
In the days of Ahaz son of Jotham son of Uzziah, king of Judah, King Rezin of Aram and King Pekah son of Remaliah of Israel went up to attack Jerusalem, but could not mount an attack against it.
King Hezekiah became sick and almost died. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz went to see him. Isaiah said to him: Jehovah tells you: 'You are to put everything in order because you will not recover. Get ready to die.'
At that time Merodach-Baladan son of Baladan king of Babylon sent Hezekiah letters and a gift, because he had heard of his illness and recovery.
Isaiah » Prophecies, reproofs, and exhortations of » Foretells calamities to judah
That is why justice is far from us, and righteousness does not reach us. We hope for light and we walk in darkness. We hope for brightness but we walk in gloom. We grope like blind men along a wall. We grope like people without eyes. We stumble at noon as if it were evening. We are like dead people among the living. We all growl like bears. We coo like doves. We hope for justice, but there is none. We hope for salvation, but it is far from us. read more.
You are aware of our many rebellious acts. Our sins testify against us. Our rebellious acts are with us. We know our iniquities.

Isaiah » Prophecies, reproofs, and exhortations of » Declares the goodness and longsuffering of God toward them
Jehovah is waiting to be kind to you. He rises to have compassion on you. Jehovah is a God of justice. Blessed are all those who wait for him. You will live in Zion, in Jerusalem. You will not cry anymore. Jehovah will certainly have pity on you when you cry for help. As soon as he hears you, he will answer you. Jehovah may give you troubles and hardships. But your Teacher (Grand Instructor) will no longer be hidden from you. You will see your Teacher with your own eyes. read more.
You will hear a voice behind you say: This is the way. Walk in it, whether it turns to the right or to the left. Then you will dishonor your silver-plated idols and your gold-covered statues. You will throw them away like clothing ruined by stains. You will say to them: Get out! Jehovah will give you rain for the seed that you plant in the ground, and the food that the ground provides will be rich and nourishing. When that day comes, your cattle will graze in large pastures. The cattle and the donkeys that work the soil will eat a mixture of food that has been winnowed with forks and shovels. Brooks and streams will be on every lofty mountain and every high hill. When the day of the great slaughter comes, towers will fall. Then the light of the moon will be like the light of the sun. The light of the sun will be seven times as strong, like the light of seven days. When that day comes, Jehovah will bandage his people's injuries and heal the wounds he inflicted.

Isaiah said to them: Say to your master: 'Jehovah says: Do not be afraid because of the words you have heard from the servants of the king of Assyria. For they have blasphemed me. Listen! I will put a spirit in him so that he will hear a rumor and return to his own land. I will make him fall by the sword in his own land.'
Isaiah » Prophecies, reproofs, and exhortations of » Comforts the jewish community with promises, exposes the folly of idolatry, and their future deliverance from captivity by cyrus
Get out of Babylon! Flee from the Babylonians! Shout for joy as you tell it and announce it. Shout it out to the ends of the earth. Say: Jehovah has reclaimed his servant Jacob.
This is WHAT JEHOVAH SAYS ABOUT CYRUS, his anointed one: I have held him by his right hand so he could conquer the nations ahead of him; that he could strip kings of their power, and open doors ahead of him so that the gates would not be shut. I will go ahead of you, Cyrus. I will smooth out the rough places. I will break down the copper doors and cut through the iron bars. I will give you treasures from dark places and hidden stockpiles. You will know that I, Jehovah the God of Israel, have called you by name. read more.

Isaiah » Reproves hezekiah's folly in exhibiting his resources to the commissioners from babylon
The king of Babylonia, Merodach Baladan son of Baladan heard that King Hezekiah was sick. So he sent him a letter and a present. Hezekiah welcomed the messengers and showed them his wealth. He showed his silver and gold. He also let them look at his spices and perfumes. He even showed all his military equipment. There was nothing in his storerooms or anywhere in his kingdom that he did not show them. The prophet Isaiah went to King Hezekiah and asked: Where did these men come from and what did they say to you? Hezekiah answered: They came from a very distant country, from Babylonia. read more.
Isaiah then said: What did they see in your palace? Hezekiah replied: They saw everything in my palace. I showed them everything in my treasury. Isaiah said to Hezekiah: Hear the word of Jehovah! Jehovah says: 'The time will come when everything in your palace, everything your ancestors have stored up to this day, will be taken away to Babylon. Nothing will be left. Some of your own descendants will be taken away. They will become officials in the palace of the king of Babylon.' Hezekiah said to Isaiah: The word of Jehovah that you spoke is good. He added: Is it not good that there is peace and security as long as I live?

Isaiah » Prophecies, reproofs, and exhortations of » Reproves the people for their confidence in egypt, and their contempt of God
Suffer you unwilling children, says Jehovah. You pursue a purpose that is not mine. You make a covenant sacrifice without my Spirit. You add sin to sin. You go to Egypt for help without asking for my advice. You want Egypt to protect you. You put your trust in Egypt's military might. The safety of Pharaoh will be your shame and the shelter in the shadow of Egypt, your humiliation. read more.
Their princes are at Zoan and their ambassadors arrive at Hanes. Everyone will be ashamed because of a people who cannot help them. They cannot help. They can only offer shame and reproach. THE PROPHESY ABOUT THE BEASTS OF THE NEGEV (southern land): The Negev is a land of distress and anguish. Lions and lionesses live there. Vipers and poisonous snakes live there. They carry their riches on the backs of young donkeys and their treasures on the humps of camels to a nation that cannot help them. Egypt's help is completely useless. That is why I call her: Rahab, who sits still. (defamatory word for Egypt) (negative connotation) Write this on a tablet for them, and inscribe it in a book so that it will be there in the future as a permanent witness. These people are rebellious and deceitful children. They refuse to listen to Jehovah's Law. They say to the seers: Do not see the future. They say to those who have visions: 'Do not have visions that tell us what is right. Tell us what we want to hear. Prophesy illusions. Get out of our way! Stop blocking our path! Get the Holy One of Israel out of our sight.' This is what the Holy One of Israel says: You have rejected this warning, trusted oppression and deceit, and you leaned upon them for support. For that reason your sin will be like a high wall with a bulging crack, ready to fall. All of a sudden it will fall. It will break like pottery. It will be smashed. Nothing will be left of it. No piece will be big enough to carry live coals from a fireplace or to dip water from a reservoir. The Lord Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, says: Return to me and be saved. You can have rest. You can be strong by being quiet and by trusting me. But you do not want that! You have said: No, we will flee on horses. So you flee. You added: We will ride on fast horses. So those who chase you will also be fast. One thousand people will flee when one person threatens them. You will flee when five threaten you. Then you will be left alone like a flagpole on top of a mountain, like a signpost on a hill.

How horrible it will be for those who go to Egypt for help! Cursed are those who rely on very strong warhorses, who depend on many chariots. They do not look to the Holy One of Israel. They do not seek Jehovah. He is wise and can bring about disaster. He does not take back his words. He rises against wicked people and against those who help troublemakers. The Egyptians are humans, not God. Their horses are flesh and blood, not spirit. Jehovah will stretch out his powerful hand (extend his power). The one who gives help will stumble. The one who receives help will fall. Both will die together. read more.
This is what Jehovah said to me: A lion, even a young lion, growls over its prey when a crowd of shepherds is called to fight it. It is not frightened by their voices or disturbed by the noise they make. So Jehovah of Hosts will come to fight for Mount Zion and on its hill. Jehovah of Hosts will defend Jerusalem like a hovering bird. He will defend it and rescue it. He will pass over it and protect it. Return you people of Israel, return to the one whom you have so violently rebelled against.

Isaiah » Comforts hezekiah in his affliction
Hezekiah became ill and was about to die. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz said to him: This is what Jehovah says: 'Give final instructions to your household. You will not recover. You will die.' Hezekiah faced the wall and prayed to Jehovah: Jehovah, Please remember how I have walked before you in faithfulness and truth. And consider my whole heart devoted to you. I have done what is good in your eyes. Hezekiah wept bitterly. read more.
Isaiah had not gone as far as the middle courtyard when Jehovah spoke to him: Go back and tell Hezekiah, the leader of my people: 'This is what Jehovah God of your ancestor David says: I heard your prayer. I saw your tears. Now I will heal you. The day after tomorrow you will go to Jehovah's Temple. I will add fifteen more years to your life. I will rescue you and defend this city from the control of the king of Assyria. I do this for my sake and for the sake of my servant David.' Then Isaiah said: Get a fig cake, and put it on the boil so that the king will get well. King Hezekiah said to Isaiah: What is the sign to prove that Jehovah will heal me and that three days later I will be able to go to the Temple? Isaiah replied: Jehovah will give you a sign to prove that he will keep his promise. Would you prefer to have the shadow on the stairway go forward ten steps or go back ten steps? Then Hezekiah said: It is an easy matter to have the shadow go forward ten steps. So have it go back ten steps. Isaiah prayed to Jehovah and Jehovah made the shadow go back ten steps on the stairway set up by King Ahaz.

Isaiah » Prophecies, reproofs, and exhortations of » Denounces calamities against israel and judah
But before the boy knows enough to reject the wrong and choose the right, the land of the two kings you dread will be laid waste. Jehovah will bring on you and on your people and on the house of your father a time unlike any since Ephraim broke away from Judah. He will bring the king of Assyria upon you. In that day Jehovah will whistle for the flies that are at the distant branches of the Nile River in Egypt and for the bees that are in Assyria. read more.
All of them will come and settle in the deep valleys, in the cracks in the cliffs, on all the thorn bushes, and at all the water holes. In that day Jehovah will hire the king of Assyria from beyond the Euphrates River to be a razor to shave the hair on your head, the hair on your legs, and even your beard. On that day a person will keep alive a young cow and two sheep. They will give so much milk that he will have all he needs. Yes, the few survivors left in the land will have milk and honey to eat. When that time comes, the fine vineyards, each with a thousand vines and each worth a thousand pieces of silver, will be overgrown with thorn bushes and briers. People will go hunting there with bows and arrows. Yes, the whole country will be full of briers and thorn bushes. All the hills where crops were once planted will be so overgrown with thorns that no one will go there. It will be a place where cattle and sheep graze.

You will mock the king of Babylon with this saying: How the tyrant has come to an end! How his attacks have come to an end! Jehovah has broken the staff of the wicked, the scepter of rulers. They struck the people with fury, with blows that did not stop. They ruled nations in anger, persecuting them without restraint. The whole earth rests and is quiet. It breaks out into shouts of joy. Even the cypress trees rejoice over you. The cedars of Lebanon say: 'Since you have fallen, no lumberjack has come to attack us.' The grave below wakes up to meet you when you come. It wakes up those who are dead, all who were leaders on earth. It raises all who were kings of the nations from their thrones. All of them will greet you: 'You also have become weak like us! You have become like one of us! Your pride has been brought down to the grave along with the music of your harps. Maggots are spread out like a bed under you, and worms cover you.' O how you have fallen from heaven, you morning star (shining one), and son of the dawn! How you have been cut down to the ground, you who conquered nations! You thought: 'I will go up to heaven (Mount Zion) and set up my throne above God's stars (messengers). I will sit on the mountain of meeting far away in the north where the gods assemble. I will go above the top of the clouds. I will be like the Most High.' But you have been brought down to the grave, to the deepest part of the pit. Those who see you stare at you. They look at you closely and say: 'Is this the man who made the earth tremble, who shook the kingdoms, who made the world like a desert and tore down its cities and did not let his prisoners go home?' All the kings of the nations, all of them, have been buried with honor, each in his own tomb. However you are thrown out of your tomb like a rejected branch. You are covered with those who were killed in battle. You go down to the stones (bottom) of the pit like a trampled corpse. You ruined your country and killed your own people. For that reason, you will not be buried like other kings. None of your evil family will survive. Prepare a slaughtering place! The sons of this king will die because of their ancestors' sins. None of them will ever rule the earth or cover it with cities. Jehovah of Hosts declares: I will attack Babylon and bring it to ruin. I will leave nothing! There will be no children, no survivors at all. I, Jehovah, have spoken. I will turn Babylon into a marsh. Porcupines will live there. I will sweep Babylon with a broom that will sweep everything away. I, the Sovereign Lord Jehovah have spoken. Jehovah of Hosts has sworn an oath: What I have intended (devised) will happen. What I have determined to do will be done. In my land of Israel I will trample them on my mountains. I will free my people from the Assyrian yoke and from the burdens they have had to bear. This is my purpose (plan) (advise) for the world, and my arm (extended power) is stretched out to punish the nations. Jehovah of Hosts is determined to do this. He has stretched out his arm to punish, and no one can stop him. This message was proclaimed in the year that King Ahaz died:
You will mock the king of Babylon with this saying: How the tyrant has come to an end! How his attacks have come to an end! Jehovah has broken the staff of the wicked, the scepter of rulers. They struck the people with fury, with blows that did not stop. They ruled nations in anger, persecuting them without restraint. The whole earth rests and is quiet. It breaks out into shouts of joy. Even the cypress trees rejoice over you. The cedars of Lebanon say: 'Since you have fallen, no lumberjack has come to attack us.' The grave below wakes up to meet you when you come. It wakes up those who are dead, all who were leaders on earth. It raises all who were kings of the nations from their thrones. All of them will greet you: 'You also have become weak like us! You have become like one of us! Your pride has been brought down to the grave along with the music of your harps. Maggots are spread out like a bed under you, and worms cover you.' O how you have fallen from heaven, you morning star (shining one), and son of the dawn! How you have been cut down to the ground, you who conquered nations! You thought: 'I will go up to heaven (Mount Zion) and set up my throne above God's stars (messengers). I will sit on the mountain of meeting far away in the north where the gods assemble. I will go above the top of the clouds. I will be like the Most High.' But you have been brought down to the grave, to the deepest part of the pit. Those who see you stare at you. They look at you closely and say: 'Is this the man who made the earth tremble, who shook the kingdoms, who made the world like a desert and tore down its cities and did not let his prisoners go home?' All the kings of the nations, all of them, have been buried with honor, each in his own tomb. However you are thrown out of your tomb like a rejected branch.

Jehovah is a God who is eager to save. He exalted his laws and teachings, and he wanted his people to honor them. Now his people have been plundered.

Who gave Israel up to the looters? It was Jehovah, against whom we sinned! We would not live as he wanted us to live or obey the teachings he gave us. So he made us feel the force of his anger and suffer the violence of war. Like fire his anger burned throughout Israel. Yet we never knew what was happening. We learned nothing at all from it.

Elam takes up the quiver, with her charioteers and horses. Kir uncovers the shield. Your choicest valleys are full of chariots, and horsemen are posted at the city gates. The defenses of Judah are stripped away. And you looked in that day to the weapons in the house of the forest. You saw that the City of David had many breaches in its defenses. You stored up water in the lower pool. You counted the houses of Jerusalem. Then you broke down the houses to fortify the wall. You made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool. But you did not look to him who did it, or have regard for him who planned it long ago.

Who are your relatives here that you have cut out a tomb here for yourself, cutting a tomb on the height, and carving a habitation for yourself in the rock? Jehovah will violently throw you away, O mighty man. He will surely seize you. He will surely turn violently and toss you like a ball into a large country! There you shall die, and there your glorious chariots will be the shame of your master's house.' I will drive you out of your office. He will pull you down from your position. Then in that day I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah. I will clothe him with your robe and strengthen him with your belt. I will commit your responsibility into his hand. He will be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. I will lay the key of the house of David on his shoulder.

Everyone was godless and an evildoer, and every mouth spoke wickedness (foolishness) (vileness). In all this his anger has not turned away. His hand is stretched out still (ready to apply his power). This wickedness is like a brushfire. It burns not only briers and thorns but the forests, too. It sends up vast clouds of smoke. The land is blackened by the fury of Jehovah of Hosts. The people are fuel for the fire, and no one spares anyone else. They slice off what is on the right hand, but they will still be hungry. In the end they will even eat the flesh of their own arms (offspring) (turn upon themselves). Manasseh will feed on Ephraim, Ephraim will feed on Manasseh, and both will devour Judah.

He said: This is the rest with which you may cause the weary to rest, and, this is the refreshing. Yet they would not listen. But the word of Jehovah to them was: Precept upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little, that they might go and fall backward, and be broken and snared and caught. Therefore hear the word of Jehovah, you scornful men, who rule this people who are in Jerusalem, Because you have said: We have made a covenant with death, and with the grave we are in agreement. When the overflowing scourge passes through, it will not come to us, for we have made lies our refuge. We have hidden under falsehood! Therefore this is what The Sovereign Lord Jehovah says: Behold, I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation. It is a tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; whoever believes will not act hastily. I will make justice the measuring line, and righteousness the plummet. The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters will overflow the hiding place. Your covenant with death will be annulled.

He instructs him in right judgment and his God teaches him. The black cummin is not threshed with a threshing sledge, nor is a cartwheel rolled over the cummin. But the black cummin is beaten out with a stick, and the cummin with a rod. Bread flour must be ground. Therefore he does not thresh it forever, break it with his cartwheel, or crush it with his horsemen. This also comes from Jehovah of Hosts. He is wonderful in counsel and excellent in guidance.

As my hand took hold of the kingdoms of the idols, kingdoms whose carved images were greater then those of Jerusalem and Samaria, As I have done to Samaria and her idols, Shall I not also do to Jerusalem and her idols?' It will happen when Jehovah has performed all his work on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem. He will say: I will punish the fruit of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his haughty appearance. The king of Assyria says: By the strength of my hand I have done it. By my wisdom and understanding I have done it! I am prudent! Also I have removed the boundaries of the nations. I have robbed their treasuries. I have brought down people like a mighty man! I found the riches of nations as one finds a nest. I gathered the whole world as one gathers abandoned eggs. Not one of them flapped a wing, opened its mouth, or peeped.'

In that day the remnant of Israel, the survivors of the house of Jacob, will no longer rely on the one who defeated them. They will truly rely on Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel. A remnant of Jacob will return to the Mighty (Powerful) God. Yes, a remnant will return! Your people, O Israel, are like the sand of the sea. Yet only a remnant within them will return. Overwhelming and righteous destruction has been decreed. The Sovereign Lord Jehovah of Hosts, will carry out the complete destruction decreed upon the whole land. Therefore, this is what the Lord Jehovah of Hosts, declares: O my people who live in Zion, do not be afraid of the Assyrians. They beat you with a rod and lift up a club against you, as Egypt did. Very soon my anger against you will end and my wrath will be directed to their destruction. Jehovah of Hosts will stir up enemies against you as when he struck down Midian at the rock of Oreb. His wrath will come by way of the sea, as he did in Egypt. In that day your burden will be lifted from your shoulders, their yoke from your neck; the yoke will be broken because you have grown so fat. They enter Aiath and they pass through Migron. They store supplies at Micmash. They go over the pass and make Geba their camping place for the night. Ramah trembles and Gibeah of Saul flees. Cry out, O Daughter of Gallim! Listen and pay attention, O Laishah! Poor afflicted Anathoth! Madmenah has fled; the people of Gebim take cover. This day they will halt at Nob. They will shake their fist at the mount of the Daughter of Zion, at the hill of Jerusalem. Behold, the Sovereign Lord Jehovah of Hosts will lop off the boughs with great power. The lofty trees will be cut down! The tall ones will be brought low. He will cut down the forest thickets with an ax. Lebanon will fall before the Mighty One.
He boasts: 'Every one of my commanders is a king! Is not Calno like Carchemish? Is not Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria like Damascus? As my hand took hold of the kingdoms of the idols, kingdoms whose carved images were greater then those of Jerusalem and Samaria, As I have done to Samaria and her idols, Shall I not also do to Jerusalem and her idols?' It will happen when Jehovah has performed all his work on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem. He will say: I will punish the fruit of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his haughty appearance. The king of Assyria says: By the strength of my hand I have done it. By my wisdom and understanding I have done it! I am prudent! Also I have removed the boundaries of the nations. I have robbed their treasuries. I have brought down people like a mighty man! I found the riches of nations as one finds a nest. I gathered the whole world as one gathers abandoned eggs. Not one of them flapped a wing, opened its mouth, or peeped.' Can an ax attack the person who cuts with it? Can a saw make itself greater than the person who saws with it? A rod cannot move the person who lifts it. A wooden stick cannot pick up a person. That is why the Almighty Jehovah of Hosts will send a degenerative disease against brave men. A flame will be turned into a raging fire under his power. The Light of Israel will become a fire and his Holy One a flame. It will burn and consume his thorns and his briers in a single day! It will completely destroy the splendor of his forests and fertile fields, as when a sick man wastes away. And the remaining trees of his forests will be so few that a child could write them down.

Maggots are spread out like a bed under you, and worms cover you.' read more.
O how you have fallen from heaven, you morning star (shining one), and son of the dawn! How you have been cut down to the ground, you who conquered nations! You thought: 'I will go up to heaven (Mount Zion) and set up my throne above God's stars (messengers). I will sit on the mountain of meeting far away in the north where the gods assemble. I will go above the top of the clouds. I will be like the Most High.' But you have been brought down to the grave, to the deepest part of the pit. Those who see you stare at you. They look at you closely and say: 'Is this the man who made the earth tremble, who shook the kingdoms, who made the world like a desert and tore down its cities and did not let his prisoners go home?' All the kings of the nations, all of them, have been buried with honor, each in his own tomb. However you are thrown out of your tomb like a rejected branch. You are covered with those who were killed in battle. You go down to the stones (bottom) of the pit like a trampled corpse. You ruined your country and killed your own people. For that reason, you will not be buried like other kings. None of your evil family will survive. Prepare a slaughtering place! The sons of this king will die because of their ancestors' sins. None of them will ever rule the earth or cover it with cities. Jehovah of Hosts declares: I will attack Babylon and bring it to ruin. I will leave nothing! There will be no children, no survivors at all. I, Jehovah, have spoken. I will turn Babylon into a marsh. Porcupines will live there.

This is my purpose (plan) (advise) for the world, and my arm (extended power) is stretched out to punish the nations. Jehovah of Hosts is determined to do this. He has stretched out his arm to punish, and no one can stop him. This message was proclaimed in the year that King Ahaz died: The rod that beat you is broken, but you have no reason to be glad. When one snake dies, a worse one comes in its place. A snake's egg hatches a flying dragon. Jehovah will be a shepherd to the poor of his people and will let them live in safety.

The illiterate say: We cannot read it because we do not know how to read. These people praise me with their words, said Jehovah, but they never draw near to me in their hearts (deepest thoughts). Their reverence for me comes from the repetitious tradition of men. I will do things that shock and amaze them. I will destroy the wisdom of those who claim to know and understand (discern). You are in for trouble, if you try to hide your plans from Jehovah! You think what you do in the dark cannot be seen. So you ask: Who sees us, who knows us? You have it all backwards. A clay dish does not say to the potter, You did not make me. And should the one made say to the maker, You do not understand? Soon the forest of Lebanon will become a fertile field thick with trees.

When he sees riders, horsemen in pairs, a train of donkeys, a train of camels, Let him pay close attention, very close attention. The watchman called out from the tower: Sir, I stand on the watchtower every day. Every night, I stand guard at my post. Look! Here come chariots and horsemen in pairs.

It will turn into a desert, neither pruned nor cultivated. It will be covered with thorns and briars. I will command the clouds not to send rain. I am Jehovah of Hosts (All Powerful)! Israel is the vineyard, and Judah is the garden I tended with care. I had hoped for honesty and for justice, but dishonesty and cries for mercy were all I found. Cursed are those who are joining house to house, and putting field to field, till there is no more living-space for any but themselves in all the land! With my own ears I heard Jehovah of Hosts say: Many houses will become empty. Large, beautiful houses will be without people to live in them.

A report was made to the house of David saying: Aram has allied itself with Ephraim. The heart of Ahaz and the heart of his people shook (their courage failed) as the trees of the forest shake before the wind.

But Jehovah has strengthened Rezin's foes against them and has spurred their enemies on. The Arameans from the east and the Philistines from the west have devoured Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger has not turned away. His hand (power) is still stretched out (extended).

How horrible it will be for those who enact unjust laws and who decree oppressive regulations. They deprive the poor of justice. They take away the rights of the needy among my people. They prey on widows and rob orphans. What will you do on the day you are called to account for these things, when destruction comes from far away? Where will you run for help? Where will you leave your wealth? read more.
There is nothing left but to crouch among prisoners and to fall with those who are killed. Even after all this, his anger will not disappear. His hand is stretched out (he is still ready to use his power).

Isaiah » Prophecies, reproofs, and exhortations of » Denounces existing corruptions
Cursed are those who are joining house to house, and putting field to field, till there is no more living-space for any but themselves in all the land! With my own ears I heard Jehovah of Hosts say: Many houses will become empty. Large, beautiful houses will be without people to live in them. A ten-acre vineyard will produce only six gallons of wine, and two quarts of seed will produce only four quarts of grain. read more.
How horrible it will be for those who get up early in the morning to look for a drink and who sit up late at night until they are drunk from wine. At their feasts there are lyres and harps, tambourines and flutes, and wine. Yet, they do not pay attention to what Jehovah is doing or respect what his hands have done. My people will go into exile because they do not understand what I am doing. Honored men will starve, and common people will be parched with thirst. That is why the grave's appetite increases. It opens its mouth very wide so that honored people and common people will go down into it. Those who are noisy and joyous will go down into it. People will be brought down. Everyone will be humiliated and the eyes of arrogant people will be abased (humbled). Jehovah of Hosts shows his greatness by doing what is right. He reveals his holiness by judging his people. In the ruins of the cities lambs will eat grass and young goats will find pasture. Woe to those who scatter sin with cords of falsehood and iniquity with a cart rope! You say: Let Jehovah hurry up and do what he says he will, so that we can see it. Let Israel's holy God carry out his plans. Let us see what he has in mind. You are doomed! You call evil good and you call good evil. You turn darkness into light and light into darkness. You make what is bitter, sweet, and what is sweet you make bitter. You are doomed! You think you are wise. You think you are so very clever. You are doomed! Heroes of the wine bottle! Brave and fearless when it comes to mixing drinks! You let the guilty go free for a bribe and you keep the innocent from getting justice. You will go up in flames like straw and hay! You have rejected the law of the holy God Jehovah the All-Powerful Holy One of Israel. Now your roots will rot, and your blossoms will turn to dust. You are Jehovah's people, but you made him terribly angry, and he struck you with his mighty arm. Mountains shook, and dead bodies covered the streets like garbage. Jehovah is still angry. He is ready to strike you again. Jehovah raises up a flag for the nations far away. With a whistle he signals those at the ends of the earth. Look, they are coming very quickly! None of them grow tired or stumble. None of them slumber or sleep. The belts on their waists are not loose or their sandal straps broken. Their arrows are sharpened. All their bows are strung and ready to shoot. Their horses' hoofs are as hard as flint. Their chariot wheels are as quick as the wind. They roar like a lioness. They growl like a young lion. They growl as they snatch their prey and carry it off to where no one can rescue it. In that day they will roar over their prey as the sea roars. If they look at the land, they will see only darkness and distress. Thick clouds will darken even the light.

Jehovah says: Maintain justice and do what is right, for my salvation is close at hand and my righteousness will soon be revealed. Blessed is the man who does this, the man who holds it fast, who keeps the Sabbath without desecrating it, and keeps his hand from doing any evil. No foreigner bound to Jehovah should say: 'Jehovah will surely exclude (separate) me from his people. No eunuch should complain: I am only a dry tree.' read more.
For Jehovah says: To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths, who choose what pleases me. They hold fast to my covenant. I will give to those within my Temple and its walls a memorial and a name that is better than sons and daughters. I will give them an everlasting name that will not be cut off. Foreigners have become allied with Jehovah, to serve Jehovah, to love the name of Jehovah, and to worship him. They keep the Sabbath without desecrating it and hold fast to my covenant. I will bring them to my holy mountain and give them joy in my house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and sacrifices will be accepted on my altar. My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations. The Sovereign Lord Jehovah declares: He who gathers the exiles of Israel, I will gather still others to them besides those already gathered.

There will be no more gloom for those who were suffering. In the past he humiliated the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali. But in the future he will honor Galilee of the Nations, by the way of the sea, along the Jordan. The people who walk in darkness (ignorance) (lies) have seen a great light (truth). A light has dawned on those who live in the land of the shadow of death (the grave) (calamity). You have enlarged the nation and increased their joy.

As in the day of Midian's defeat, you have shattered the yoke of his burdens: the bar across their shoulders, the rod of their oppressor. Every warrior's boot used in battle and every garment rolled in blood will be destined for burning, will be fuel for the fire. For unto us a child is born. Unto us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. He will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom. He will establish and uphold it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of Jehovah of Hosts will accomplish this.
