ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth!

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

⁶ Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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

³ Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of 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.

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

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

⁸ The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it.

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

¹⁹ The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, tablets, and the earrings,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ The rings, and nose jewels,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty.

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

⁶ Turn ye unto him from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye careless daughters; give ear unto my speech.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.

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

³ Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.

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

⁹ No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there:

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

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Remember this, and shew yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors.

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

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

² Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinketh, because there is no water, and dieth for thirst.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.

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

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

⁴ Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.

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

² Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high.

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

⁶ Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall shew forth the praises of the LORD.

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

²¹ The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And gladness is taken away, and joy out of the plentiful field; and in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither shall there be shouting: the treaders shall tread out no wine in their presses; I have made their vintage shouting to cease.

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

¹⁶ Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires, even the name of the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea.
