⁵ So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus saith the LORD, Be not afraid of the words which thou hast heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.

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

¹ The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

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

³ The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

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

⁸ And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

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

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

³ And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.

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

³ And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah's son;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Send ye the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela to the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion.

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

⁸ And he discovered the covering of Judah, and thou didst look in that day to the armour of the house of the forest.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Ye have seen also the breaches of the city of David, that they are many: and ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt! add ye year to year; let them kill sacrifices.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ariel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her munition, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ It shall even be as when an hungry man dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion.

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

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

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

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

⁸ And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem unto king Hezekiah with a great army. And he stood by the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field.

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

² Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the LORD'S hand double for all her sins.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD shall bring again Zion.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the LORD hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.

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

¹ For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, and whose graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?

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

²⁴ Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³² As yet shall he remain at Nob that day: he shall shake his hand against the mount of the daughter daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³² What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation? That the LORD hath founded Zion, and the poor of his people shall trust in it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses have ye broken down to fortify the wall.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ Ye made also a ditch between the two walls for the water of the old pool: but ye have not looked unto the maker thereof, neither had respect unto him that fashioned it long ago.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem.

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

¹⁹ For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

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

¹⁰ Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God, in whom thou trustest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² This is the word which the LORD hath spoken concerning him; The virgin, the daughter of Zion, hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³² For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ The first shall say to Zion, Behold, behold them: and I will give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁶ That confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers; that saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built, and I will raise up the decayed places thereof:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ That saith to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up thy rivers:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ That saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, which hast drunk at the hand of the LORD the cup of his fury; thou hast drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling, and wrung them out.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee, The city of the LORD, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto the LORD out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the LORD, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD.
