If I had said, I will speak thus, behold, I would have dealt treacherously with the generation of thy sons.

They said in their heart, Let us make havoc of them altogether. They have burned up all the meeting-places of God in the land.

I said to the arrogant, Deal not arrogantly, and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn.

And I said, This is my infirmity, the change of the right hand of the Most High.

Yea, they spoke against God. They said, Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?

I said, Ye are gods, and all of you sons of the Most High.

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.

who said, Let us take to ourselves in possession the habitations of God.

Yea, of Zion it shall be said, this and that man was born in her, and the Most High himself will establish her.

For I have said, Mercy shall be built up forever. Thy faithfulness thou will establish in the very heavens.

Then thou spoke in a vision to thy sanctified, and said, I have laid help upon a mighty [man]. I have exalted a chosen [man] out of the people.

When I said, My foot slips, thy loving kindness, O LORD, held me up.

Forty years long I was grieved with [that] generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways.

I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days. Thy years are throughout all generations.

Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy.

I said in my haste, All men are liars.

LORD is my portion; I have said that I would observe thy words.

I was glad when they said to me, Let us go to the house of LORD.

Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, LORD has done great things for them.

Remember, O LORD, the day of Jerusalem against the sons of Edom, who said, Raze it, raze it, even to the foundation thereof.

I said to LORD, Thou are my God. Give ear to the voice of my supplications, O LORD.

I cried to thee, O LORD. I said, Thou are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.

And he taught me, and said to me, Let thy heart retain my words. Keep my commandments, and live.

So she caught him, and kissed him. With an impudent face she said to him,

For it is better that it be said to thee, Come up here, than that thou should be put lower in the presence of the prince, whom thine eyes have seen.

Is there a thing of which it may be said, See, this is new? It has been long ago, in the ages which were before us.

I said in my heart, Come now, I will prove thee with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure. And, behold, this also was vanity.

I said of laughter, It is mad, and of mirth, What does it do?

Then said I in my heart, As it happens to the fool, so it will happen even to me, and why then was I more wise? Then said I in my heart that this also is vanity.

I said in my heart, God will judge the righteous man and the wicked man, for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.

I said in my heart, [It is] because of the sons of men, that God may prove them, and that they may see that they themselves are beasts.

All this I have proved in wisdom. I said, I will be wise, but it was far from me.

There is a vanity which is done upon the earth, that there are righteous men to whom it happens according to the work of the wicked, again, there are wicked men to whom it happens according to the work of the righteous. I said that

Then I said, Wisdom is better than strength. Nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.

My beloved spoke, and said to me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.

[I said], I will rise now, and go around the city. In the streets and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loves. I sought him, but I did not find him.

The watchmen who go about the city found me. [I said], Did ye see him whom my soul loves?

I said, I will climb up into the palm tree. I will take hold of the branches of it. Let thy breasts be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy breath like apples,

Moreover LORD said, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with outstretched necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet,

And one cried to another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is LORD of hosts. The whole earth is full of his glory.

Then I said, Woe is me! For I am undone, because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips. For my eyes have seen the King, LORD of hosts.

And he touched my mouth with it, and said, Lo, this has touched thy lips, and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin forgiven.

And I heard the voice of LORD, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then I said, I am here, send me.

And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but do not understand, and see ye indeed, but do not perceive.

Then I said, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until cities be waste without inhabitant, and houses without man, and the land become utterly waste,

Then LORD said to Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shear-jashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, in the highway of the fuller's field.

But Ahaz said, I will not ask, nor will I challenge LORD.

And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David. Is it a small thing for you to weary men, that ye will weary my God also?

And LORD said to me, Take thee a great tablet, and write upon it with the pen of a man, For Maher-shalal-hash-baz.

And I went to the prophetess, and she conceived, and bore a son. Then LORD said to me, Call his name Maher-shalal-hash-baz.

For he has said, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom, for I have understanding. And I have removed the bounds of the peoples, and have robbed their treasures. And like a valiant man I have brought down those

And thou said in thy heart, I will ascend into heaven. I will exalt my throne above the stars of God, and I will sit upon the mount of congregation, in the outermost parts of the north.

For thus LORD has said to me, I will be still, and I will behold in my dwelling-place, like clear heat in sunshine, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.

And LORD said, Just as my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and a wonder concerning Egypt and concerning Ethiopia,

For thus has LORD said to me, Go, set a watchman. Let him declare what he sees.

and, behold, here comes a troop of men, horsemen in pairs. And he answered and said, Fallen, fallen is Babylon. And all the graven images of her gods are broken to the ground.

The watchman said, The morning comes, and also the night. If ye will inquire, inquire ye; turn ye back, come.

For thus LORD has said to me, Within a year, according to the years of a hireling, all the glory of Kedar shall fail.

Therefore I said, Look away from me. I will weep bitterly. Labor not to comfort me for the destruction of the daughter of my people.

And he said, Thou shall no more rejoice, O thou oppressed virgin daughter of Sidon. Arise, pass over to Kittim, even there shall thou have no rest.

From the outermost part of the earth we have heard songs. Glory to the righteous. But I said, I pine away, I pine away. Woe is me! The treacherous have dealt treacherously, yea, the treacherous have dealt very treacherously.

And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God. We have waited for him, and he will save us. This is LORD. We have waited for him. We will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.

to whom he said, This is the rest. Give ye rest to him who is weary. And this is the refreshing. Yet they would not hear.

Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and we are at agreement with Sheol. When the overflowing scourge shall pass through it shall not come to us, for we have made lies our refuge, and we have hid ourselves unde

And LORD said, Inasmuch as this people draw near [me] with their mouth, and honor me with their lips, but have removed their heart far from me, {but in vain they worship me (LXX/NT)}, {teaching the commandments and doctrines of men

For thus said lord LORD, the Holy One of Israel, Ye shall be saved in returning and rest. Your strength shall be in quietness and in confidence. And ye would not,

but ye said, No, for we will flee upon horses. Therefore ye shall flee. And [ye said], We will ride upon the swift. Therefore those who pursue you shall be swift.

The fool shall no more be called noble, nor the churl said to be bountiful.

And Rabshakeh said to them, Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria: What confidence is this in which thou trust?

But if thou say to me, We trust in LORD our God. Is that not he whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away, and has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar?

And have I now come up without LORD against this land to destroy it? LORD said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.

Then Eliakim and Shebna and Joah said to Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language, for we understand it. And speak not to us in the Jews' language, in the ears of the people who are on the wall.

But Rabshakeh said, Has my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words, [and] not to the men who sit upon the wall, to eat their own dung, and to drink their own urine with you?

Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and said, Hear ye the words of the great king, the king of Assyria.

And they said to him, Thus says Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy, for the sons have come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.

And Isaiah said to them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus says LORD: Be not afraid of the words that thou have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.

By thy servants thou have defied LORD, and have said, With the multitude of my chariots I have come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of Lebanon. And I will cut down the tall cedars of it, and the choice fir

In those days Hezekiah was sick to death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, Thus says LORD, Set thy house in order, for thou shall die, and not live.

and said, Remember now, O LORD, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept greatly.

I said, In the noontide of my days I shall go into the gates of Sheol. I am deprived of the residue of my years.

I said, I shall not see LORD, [even] LORD in the land of the living. I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of the world.

Now Isaiah had said, Let them take a cake of figs, and lay it for a plaster upon the boil, and he shall recover.

Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of LORD?

Then Isaiah the prophet came to king Hezekiah, and said to him, What did these men say? And from where did they come to thee? And Hezekiah said, They have come from a far country to me, even from Babylon.

Then he said, What have they seen in thy house? And Hezekiah answered, They have seen all that is in my house. There is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them.

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

Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, The word of LORD which thou have spoken is good. He said moreover, For there shall be peace and truth in my days.

The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness of it is as the flower of the field.

thou whom I have taken hold of from the ends of the earth, and called from the corners thereof, and said to thee, Thou are my servant, I have chosen thee and not cast thee away.

Only in LORD, it is said of me, is righteousness and strength. Even to him men shall come, and all those who were incensed against him shall be put to shame.

And thou said, I shall be mistress forever, so that thou did not lay these things to thy heart, nor remembered the latter end of it.

For thou have trusted in thy wickedness. Thou have said, None sees me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it has perverted thee. And thou have said in thy heart, I am, and there is none else besides me.

And he said to me, Thou are my servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified.

But I said, I have labored in vain. I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity. Yet surely the justice [due] to me is with LORD, and my recompense with my God.

But Zion said, LORD has forsaken me, and LORD has forgotten me.

And I will put it into the hand of those who afflict thee, who have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over, and thou have laid thy back as the ground, and as the street, to those who go over.

For he said, Surely, they are my people, sons that will not deal falsely. So he was their Savior.

I was {manifested (LXX/NT)} by those who did not ask {for me (LXX/NT)}. I am found by those who did not seek me. I said, Behold me, behold me, to a nation that was not called by my name.

Hear the word of LORD, ye who tremble at his word: Your brothers who hate you, who cast you out for my name's sake, have said, Let LORD be glorified, that we may see your joy. But it is those who shall be put to shame.

Then I said, Ah, lord LORD! Behold, I know not how to speak, for I am a child.
