23:007:021 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a man shall
nourish a young cow, and two sheep;

23:007:022 And it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk that they
shall give he shall eat butter: for butter and honey shall
every one eat that is left in the land.

23:007:023 And it shall come to pass in that day, that every place shall
be, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand
silverlings, it shall even be for briers and thorns.

23:007:024 With arrows and with bows shall men come thither; because all
the land shall become briers and thorns.

23:007:025 And on all hills that shall be digged with the mattock, there
shall not come thither the fear of briers and thorns: but it
shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading
of lesser cattle.

23:008:001 Moreover the LORD said unto me, Take thee a great roll, and
write in it with a man's pen concerning Mahershalalhashbaz.

23:008:002 And I took unto me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the
priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.

23:008:003 And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare a
son. Then said the LORD to me, Call his name
Mahershalalhashbaz.

23:008:004 For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father,
and my mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria
shall be taken away before the king of Assyria.

23:008:005 The LORD spake also unto me again, saying,

23:008:006 Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah that
go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah's son;

23:008:007 Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the
waters of the river, strong and many, even the king of
Assyria, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his
channels, and go over all his banks:

23:008:008 And he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and go
over, he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out
of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.

23:008:009 Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in
pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird
yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves,
and ye shall be broken in pieces.

23:008:010 Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the
word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us.

23:008:011 For the LORD spake thus to me with a strong hand, and
instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this
people, saying,

23:008:012 Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people
shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be
afraid.

23:008:013 Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear,
and let him be your dread.

23:008:014 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.

23:008:015 And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken,
and be snared, and be taken.

23:008:016 Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.

23:008:017 And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the
house of Jacob, and I will look for him.

23:008:018 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.

23:008:019 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have
familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter:
should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the
dead?

23:008:020 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according
to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

23:008:021 And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry: and
it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they
shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and
look upward.

23:008:022 And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and
darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to
darkness.

23:009:001 Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her
vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of
Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more
grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan,
in Galilee of the nations.

23:009:002 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light:
they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them
hath the light shined.

23:009:003 Thou hast multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy:
they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, and as
men rejoice when they divide the spoil.

23:009:004 For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of
his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of
Midian.

23:009:005 For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and
garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and
fuel of fire.

23:009:006 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the
government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be
called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting
Father, The Prince of Peace.

23:009:007 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.

23:009:008 The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon
Israel.

23:009:009 And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant
of Samaria, that say in the pride and stoutness of heart,

23:009:010 The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn
stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them
into cedars.

23:009:011 Therefore the LORD shall set up the adversaries of Rezin
against him, and join his enemies together;

23:009:012 The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall
devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not
turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

23:009:013 For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, neither
do they seek the LORD of hosts.

23:009:014 Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail,
branch and rush, in one day.

23:009:015 The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet
that teacheth lies, he is the tail.

23:009:016 For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they
that are led of them are destroyed.

23:009:017 Therefore the LORD shall have no joy in their young men,
neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for
every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth
speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but
his hand is stretched out still.

23:009:018 For wickedness burneth as the fire: it shall devour the briers
and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest,
and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke.

23:009:019 Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts is the land darkened,
and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall
spare his brother.

23:009:020 And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he
shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied:
they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm:

23:009:021 Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh: and they together
shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned
away, but his hand is stretched out still.

23:010:001 Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write
grievousness which they have prescribed;

23:010:002 To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the
right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their
prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!

23:010:003 And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the
desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for
help? and where will ye leave your glory?

23:010:004 Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they
shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not
turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

23:010:005 O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand
is mine indignation.

23:010:006 I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against
the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the
spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the
mire of the streets.

23:010:007 Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so;
but it is in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a
few.

23:010:008 For he saith, Are not my princes altogether kings?

23:010:009 Is not Calno as Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not
Samaria as Damascus?

23:010:010 As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, and whose
graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria;

23:010:011 Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do
to Jerusalem and her idols?

23:010:012 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.

23:010:013 For he saith, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and
by my wisdom; for I am prudent: and I have removed the bounds
of the people, and have robbed their treasures, and I have put
down the inhabitants like a valiant man:

23:010:014 And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people: and
as one gathereth eggs that are left, have I gathered all the
earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the
mouth, or peeped.

23:010:015 Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith?
or shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it?
as if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it
up, or as if the staff should lift up itself, as if it were no
wood.

23:010:016 Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts, send among his
fat ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a
burning like the burning of a fire.

23:010:017 And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One
for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his
briers in one day;

23:010:018 And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful
field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when a
standard-bearer fainteth.

23:010:019 And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a
child may write them.

23:010:020 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of
Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall
no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay
upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.

23:010:021 The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the
mighty God.

23:010:022 For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a
remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall
overflow with righteousness.

23:010:023 For the Lord GOD of hosts shall make a consumption, even
determined, in the midst of all the land.

23:010:024 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.

23:010:025 For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease,
and mine anger in their destruction.

23:010:026 And the LORD of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him
according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and
as his rod was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the
manner of Egypt.

23:010:027 And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall
be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy
neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the
anointing.

23:010:028 He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at Michmash he
hath laid up his carriages:

23:010:029 They are gone over the passage: they have taken up their
lodging at Geba; Ramah is afraid; Gibeah of Saul is fled.

23:010:030 Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to be heard
unto Laish, O poor Anathoth.

23:010:031 Madmenah is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim gather
themselves to flee.

23:010:032 As yet shall he remain at Nob that day: he shall shake his
hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of
Jerusalem.

23:010:033 Behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, shall lop the bough with
terror: and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and
the haughty shall be humbled.

23:010:034 And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron,
and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.

23:011:001 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and
a Branch shall grow out of his roots:

23:011:002 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;

23:011:003 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:

23:011:004 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove
with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the
earth: with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his
lips shall he slay the wicked.

23:011:005 And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and
faithfulness the girdle of his reins.

23:011:006 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall
lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the
fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.

23:011:007 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall
lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

23:011:008 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and
the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den.

23:011:009 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.

23:011:010 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall
stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles
seek: and his rest shall be glorious.

23:011:011 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set
his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his
people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and
from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar,
and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.

23:011:012 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall
assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the
dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.

23:011:013 The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of
Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and
Judah shall not vex Ephraim.

23:011:014 But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines
toward the west; they shall spoil them of the east together:
they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab; and the children
of Ammon shall obey them.

23:011:015 And the LORD shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian
sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the
river, and shall smite it in the seven streams, and make men
go over dryshod.

23:011:016 And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people,
which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in
the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.

23:012:001 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.

23:012:002 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.

23:012:003 Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of
salvation.

23:012:004 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.

23:012:005 Sing unto the LORD; for he hath done excellent things: this is
known in all the earth.

23:012:006 Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the
Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.

23:013:001 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.

23:013:002 Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice
unto them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of
the nobles.

23:013:003 I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my
mighty ones for mine anger, even them that rejoice in my
highness.

23:013:004 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.

23:013:005 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.

23:013:006 Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as
a destruction from the Almighty.

23:013:007 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart
shall melt:

23:013:008 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of
them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they
shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as
flames.

23:013:009 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.

23:013:010 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall
not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going
forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.

23:013:011 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for
their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to
cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.

23:013:012 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man
than the golden wedge of Ophir.

23:013:013 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.

23:013:014 And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man
taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and
flee every one into his own land.

23:013:015 Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one
that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword.

23:013:016 Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their
eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.

23:013:017 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not
regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.

23:013:018 Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they
shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eyes shall
not spare children.

23:013:019 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the
Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and
Gomorrah.

23:013:020 It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from
generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent
there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.

23:013:021 But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their
houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall
dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there.

23:013:022 And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate
houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and her time is
near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.

23:014:001 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.

23:014:002 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.

23:014:003 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,

23:014:004 That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of
Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden
city ceased!

23:014:005 The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre
of the rulers.

23:014:006 He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he
that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none
hindereth.

23:014:007 The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth
into singing.

23:014:008 Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon,
saying, Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against
us.

23:014:009 Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy
coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief
ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all
the kings of the nations.

23:014:010 All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become
weak as we? art thou become like unto us?

23:014:011 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.

23:014:012 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the
morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst
weaken the nations!

23:014:013 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven,
I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also
upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

23:014:014 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like
the most High.

23:014:015 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the
pit.

23:014:016 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider
thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble,
that did shake kingdoms;

23:014:017 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities
thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?

23:014:018 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory,
every one in his own house.
