The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the strongest of them, and struck down the chosen men of Israel.

Yea, they turned back and tested God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.

He cast out the nations also before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

When God heard this, he was full of anger, and greatly abhorred Israel:

From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.

[To the Chief Musician upon shoshannim- Eduth. A Psalm of Asaph.] Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, you that lead Joseph like a flock; you that dwell between the cherubim, shine forth.

For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.

Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto you: O Israel, if you will hearken unto me;

But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would have none of me.

Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!

They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

For the LORD is our defense; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.

He has remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.

And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:

Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise you the LORD.

When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.

O Israel, trust you in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

The LORD has been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.

Let Israel now say, that his mercy endures forever.

Behold, he that keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

Where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.

[A song of ascents. Of David.] If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.

Yea, you shall see your children's children, and peace upon Israel.

[A song of ascents.] Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:

Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is abundant redemption.

And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

Let Israel hope in the LORD from this time forth and forever.

For the LORD has chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.

And gave their land for a heritage, a heritage unto Israel his people.

Bless the LORD, O house of Israel: bless the LORD, O house of Aaron:

And brought out Israel from among them: for his mercy endures forever:

And made Israel to pass through the midst of it: for his mercy endures forever:

Even a heritage unto Israel his servant: for his mercy endures forever.

The LORD does build up Jerusalem: he gathers together the outcasts of Israel.

He shows his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.

He also exalts the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise you the LORD.

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;

I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.

Behold the couch, which is Solomon's; threescore valiant men are about it, of the valiant of Israel.

The ox knows his owner, and the donkey his master's crib: but Israel does not know, my people do not consider.

Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a descendant of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they have turned away backward.

Therefore says the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will rid myself of my adversaries, and avenge myself of my enemies:

In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and splendid for them that have escaped of Israel.

For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for justice, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.

That say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come, that we may know it!

Therefore as the fire devours the stubble, and the flame consumes the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have rejected the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it.

And he shall be as a sanctuary; but a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense to both the houses of Israel, for a trap and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

Behold, I and the children whom the LORD has given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, who dwells in mount Zion.

The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it has fallen upon Israel.

The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with an open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm branch and reed, in one day.

And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day;

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again lean upon him that struck them; but shall lean upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.

For though your people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the destruction decreed shall overflow with righteousness.

And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.

And there shall be a highway for the remnant of his people, who shall be left, from Assyria; like it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.

Cry out and shout, you inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of you.

For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cling to the house of Jacob.

And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captive, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.

The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, says the LORD of hosts.

Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an olive tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in its outmost fruitful branches, says the LORD God of Israel.

At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect for the Holy One of Israel.

In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken bough, and an uppermost branch, which they left because of the children of Israel: and there shall be desolation.

In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land:

Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel my inheritance.

O my threshing, and the grain of my floor: that which I have heard of the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared unto you.

And the remainder of the number of archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be diminished: for the LORD God of Israel has spoken it.

Therefore glorify the LORD in the east, even the name of the LORD God of Israel in the coastlands of the sea.

He shall cause them that come from Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall thresh from the channel of the river to the stream of Egypt, and you shall be gathered one by one, O you children of Israel.

The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

But when he sees his children, the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.

Get out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.

Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel, Because you despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and rely on them:

For thus says the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall you be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: but you would not.

You shall have a song, as in the night when a holy feast is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goes with a flute to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel.

Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and rely on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!

Turn unto him from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted.

O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, that dwells between the cherubim, you are the God, even you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth: you have made heaven and earth.

Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah, saying, Thus says the LORD God of Israel, Since you have prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria:

Whom have you reproached and blasphemed? and against whom have you exalted your voice, and lifted up your eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Israel.

Why say you, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, My way is hidden from the LORD, and my right is passed over by my God?

But you, Israel, are my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the descendant of Abraham my friend.

Fear not, you worm Jacob, and you men of Israel; I will help you, says the LORD, and your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

You shall fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and you shall rejoice in the LORD, and shall glory in the Holy One of Israel.

When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongues fail for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them.

That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of the LORD has done this, and the Holy One of Israel has created it.

Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient unto his law.

But now thus says the LORD that created you, O Jacob, and he that formed you, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed you, I have called you by your name; you are mine.

For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior: I gave Egypt for your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in exchange for you.

Thus says the LORD, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought them all down as fugitives, and the Chaldeans, whose song is in their ships.

I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King.

But you have not called upon me, O Jacob; but you have been weary of me, O Israel.

Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.
