¹ In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, court, that the word of the LORD came to him, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What shall be the sign that the LORD will heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of the LORD the third day?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have of the LORD, that the LORD will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, That which thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria I have heard.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the LORD: and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ Then said Hezekiah unto Isaiah, Good is the word of the LORD which thou hast spoken. And he said, Is it not good, if peace and truth be in my days?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken forsaken the LORD, they have provoked provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ For, behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ And the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defence.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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

⁹ In mine ears said the LORD of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant.

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

³ Then said the LORD unto 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;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ Thus saith the Lord GOD, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass.

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

³ And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare a son. Then said the LORD to me, Call his name Maher-shalal-hash-baz.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ The LORD spake also unto me again, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.

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

¹⁸ Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ Therefore saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.

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

⁹ They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ And in that day shall ye say, Praise the LORD, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Sing unto the LORD; for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ 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 cleave to the house of Jacob.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² 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 captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ 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, saith the LORD of hosts.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ 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 the outmost fruitful branches thereof, saith the LORD God of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ For so the LORD said unto me, I will take my rest, and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs, and like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ In that time shall the present be brought unto the LORD of hosts of a people scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, the mount Zion.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty.

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

² At the same time spake the LORD by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and put off thy shoe from thy foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And the LORD said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity by the Lord GOD of hosts in the valley of vision, breaking down the walls, and of crying to the mountains.

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

³ The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken this word.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ O LORD, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.

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

⁹ 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 the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:

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

¹ In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ Thou shalt be visited of the LORD of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ The LORD will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord GOD of hosts.

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

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

¹ Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay 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!

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is holpen shall fall down, and they all shall fail together.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ For thus hath the LORD spoken unto me, Like as the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, he will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver it; and passing over he will preserve it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear, and his princes shall be afraid of the ensign, saith the LORD, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.

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

² O LORD, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² For the indignation of the LORD is upon all nations, and his fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the LORD hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ For it is the day of the LORD'S vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ But if thou say to me, We trust in the LORD our God: is it not he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the LORD.
