⁷ 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 judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Then said I, 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 mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Moreover the LORD said unto me, Take thee a great roll, and write in it with a man's pen concerning Maher-shalal-hash-baz.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ The LORD of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, and to bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will discover their secret parts.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ One shall say, I am the LORD'S; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto the LORD, and surname himself by the name of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, which swear by the name of the LORD, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel; The LORD of hosts is his name.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hands.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD hath blessed.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord Lord of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And in that day did the Lord GOD of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ And it was revealed in mine ears by the LORD of hosts, Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ For the LORD shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ Who are they among all the gods of these lands, that have delivered their land out of my hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ Who gave Jacob for a spoil, 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ Surely, shall one say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ But Zion said, The LORD hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with their face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ And forgettest the LORD thy maker, that hath stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and hast feared continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased displeased him that there was no judgment.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁸ That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁹ And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been been as Sodoma, and been made like like unto Gomorrha.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
