Read Isaiah 1

Isaiah1

¹The vision of Yesha’yahu [Yehovah has saved] the son of Amotz [strong], which he saw concerning Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] and Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] in the days of ‘Uziyah [my strength is Yehovah], Toram [Yehovah is Perfect], Achaz [he has grasped], [and] Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength], kings of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised].

²Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.

³The ox knows his owner, and the ass his master’s crib: [but] Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] does not know, my people does not consider.

⁴Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), they have provoked the Holy One of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] unto anger, they are gone away backward.

⁵Why should you2f be stricken anymore? you2f will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

⁶From the sole of the foot even unto the head [there is] no soundness in it; [but] wounds, and bruises, and putrefying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified (be softened; appeased) with ointment.

⁷Your country [is] desolate, your cities [are] burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and [it is] desolate, as overthrown by strangers.

⁸And the daughter of Tziyon [parched place] is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.

⁹Except the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as S’dom [Burning], [and] we should have been like unto ‘Amora [Submersion].

¹⁰Hear the word of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), you2f rulers of S’dom [Burning]; give ear unto the Torah of our God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], you2f people of ‘Amora [Submersion].

¹¹To what purpose [is] the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): 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.

¹²When you2f come to appear before me, who has required this at your hand, to trample my courts?

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

¹⁴Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hates: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear [them].

¹⁵And when you2f spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you: yes, when you2f make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.

¹⁶Wash you, make yourself clean; put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes; cease to do evil;

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

¹⁸Come now, and let us reason together, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

¹⁹If you2f be willing and obedient, you2f shall eat the good of the land:

²⁰But if you2f refuse and rebel, you2f shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has spoken [it].

²¹How is the faithful city become an prostitute! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.

²²Your1s silver is become scum, youri wine mixed with water:

²³Your1s princes [are] rebellious, and companions of thieves: everyone loves gifts, and follows after rewards: they defend not the fatherless, neither does the cause of the widow come unto them.

²⁴Therefore says the Lord-Adon [Lord of the Earth], the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], the mighty One of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], Ah, I will free myself of my adversaries, and avenge me of my enemies:

²⁵And I will turn my hand upon youi, and purely purge away youri scum, and take away all youri tin:

²⁶And I will restore youri as at the first, and youri counselors as at the beginning: afterward youi shall be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.

²⁷Tziyon [parched place] shall be redeemed with judgment, and her repentant [ones] with righteousness.

²⁸And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners [shall be] together, and they that forsake the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall be consumed.

²⁹For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which you2f have desired, and you2f shall be confounded for the gardens that you2f have chosen.

³⁰For you2f shall be as an oak whose leaf fades, and as a garden that has no water.

³¹And the strong shall be as tinder, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench [them].

¹The word that Yesha’yahu [Yehovah has saved] the son of Amotz [strong] saw concerning Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] and Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace].

²And it shall come to pass in the last days, [that] the mountain of the LORD-Yehōvah’s [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.

³And many people shall go and say, Come you2f, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), to the house of the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Ya’akov [Heal of God]; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Tziyon [parched place] shall go forth the Torah, and the word of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) from Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace].

⁴And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke (reprimand; strongly warn; restrain) many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

⁵O house of Ya’akov [Heal of God], come you2f, and let us walk in the light of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

⁶Therefore youi have forsaken youri people the house of Ya’akov [Heal of God], because they be replenished from the east, and [are] soothsayers like the P’lishtim [Immigrants], and they please themselves in the children of strangers.

⁷Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither [is there any] end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither [is there any] end of their chariots:

⁸Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:

⁹And the common man bows down, and the great man humbles himself: therefore forgive them not!

¹⁰Enter into the rock, and hide youi in the dust, for fear of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and for the glory of his majesty.

¹¹The proud looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) alone shall be exalted in that day.

¹²For the day of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] [shall be] upon every [one that is] proud and lofty, and upon every [one that is] lifted up; and he shall be brought low:

¹³And upon all the cedars of L’vanon [Whiteness], [that are] high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan [Fruitful],

¹⁴And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills [that are] lifted up,

¹⁵And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall,

¹⁶And upon all the ships of Tarshish [yellow jasper], and upon all pleasant pictures.

¹⁷And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) alone shall be exalted in that day.

¹⁸And the idols he shall utterly abolish.

¹⁹And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and for the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake terribly the earth.

²⁰In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made [each one] for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;

²¹To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and for the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake terribly the earth.

²²Stop relying you2f on man, whose breath [is] in his nostrils: for in what respect is he to be accounted of?

¹For, behold, the Lord-Adon [Lord of the Earth], the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], does take away from Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] and from Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] the supply and the support, the whole supply of bread, and the whole supply of water,

²The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the elder,

³The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counselor, and the cunning artisan, and the eloquent orator (enchanter).

⁴And I will give children [to be] their princes, and babes shall rule over them.

⁵And the people shall be oppressed, everyone by another, and everyone by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself arrogantly against the elder, and the base against the honourable.

⁶When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, [saying], youi have clothing, be youi our ruler, and [let] this ruin [be] under youri hand:

⁷In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be an healer; for in my house [is] neither bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of the people.

⁸For Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] is ruined, and Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] is fallen: because their tongue and their doings [are] against the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), to openly provoke/rebel against his glory.

⁹The show of very faces does witness against them! and they declare their sin as S’dom [Burning], they hide [it] not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.

¹⁰Say you2f to the righteous, that [it shall be] well [with him]: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.

¹¹Woe unto the wicked! [it shall be] ill [with him]: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.

¹²[As for] my people, children [are] their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead youi cause [youi] to err, and destroy the way of youri paths.

¹³The LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) stands up to plead, and stands to judge the people.

¹⁴The LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) will enter into judgment with the elders of his people, and the princes thereof: for you2f have eaten up the vineyard; the plunder of the poor [is] in your houses.

¹⁵What mean you2f [that] you2f beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies].

¹⁶Moreover the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) says, Because the daughters of Tziyon [parched place] are arrogant (proud; lifted up), and walk with stretched forth necks and seductive eyes, walking and mincing (taking short, quick steps) [as] they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:

¹⁷Therefore the Lord-Adonai (The Father) [Greatest Above All Things] will strike with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Tziyon [parched place], and the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) will expose their private parts.

¹⁸In that day the Lord-Adonai (The Father) [Greatest Above All Things] will take away the beauty of [their] tinkling ornaments [about their feet], and [their] headbands, and [their] crescents like the moon,

¹⁹The chains, and the bracelets, and the veils,

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

²¹The rings, and nose jewels,

²²The fine dresses, and the mantles, and the shawls, and money purses,

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

²⁴And it shall come to pass, [that] instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a belt a rope; and instead of well-set hair baldness; and instead of a rich robe a girding of sackcloth; [and] (slave) branding instead of beauty.

²⁵Your1s men shall fall by the sword, and youri mighty in the war.

²⁶And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she [being] desolate shall sit upon the ground.

¹And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by youri name, to take away our reproach (disgrace; shame).

²In that day shall the branch of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth [shall be] excellent and comely (attractive; proper (one’s own; peculiar; particular); becoming) for them that are escaped of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].

³And it shall come to pass, [that he that is] left in Tziyon [parched place], and [he that] remains in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], shall be called holy, [even] everyone that is written among the living in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]:

⁴When the Lord-Adonai (The Father) [Greatest Above All Things] shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Tziyon [parched place], and shall have purged the blood of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.

⁵And the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) will create upon every dwelling place of mount Tziyon [parched place], and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for over all the glory [shall be] a canopy.

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

¹Now will I sing to my well-beloved a song of my beloved touching His vineyard. My well-beloved has a vineyard in a very fruitful hill:

²And He fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress in it: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.

³And now, O inhabitants of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], and men of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], judge, I pray you, between me and my vineyard.

⁴What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? For what more could be done that, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?

⁵And now go forth; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; [and] break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trampled down:

⁶And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor excavated; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.

⁷For the vineyard of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] [is] the house of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and the men of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] his pleasant plant: and he looked for justice, but behold bloodshed; for righteousness, but behold a cry (of distress).

⁸Woe unto them that join house to house, [that] lay field to field, till [there be] no more room, that they may live alone in the midst of the earth!

⁹In my ears [said] the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], Of a tmany houses shall be desolate, [even] great and fair, without inhabitant.

¹⁰Yes, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed of an homer shall yield an half a bushel.

¹¹Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, [that] they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, [till] wine inflame them!

¹²And the harp, and the lyre, the tambourine, and flute, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), neither consider the operation of His hands.

¹³Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because [they have] no knowledge: and their honourable men [are] famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.

¹⁴Therefore hell has enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoices, shall descend into it.

¹⁵And the common man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the proud shall be humbled:

¹⁶But the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] shall be exalted in justice, and God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness.

¹⁷Then shall the lambs feed after their manner, and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eat.

¹⁸Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, and sin as it were with a cart rope:

¹⁹That say, Lets him make speed, [and] hasten His work, that we may see [it]: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] draw near and come, that we may know [it]!

²⁰Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

²¹Woe unto [them that are] wise in their own eyes, and clever in their own sight!

²²Woe unto [them that are] mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:

²³Which justify the wicked for bribe, and take away the rights of those who are right! (deny justice to the righteous!)

²⁴Therefore as the fire devours the stubble, and the flame consumes 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-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], and despised the word of the Holy One of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].

²⁵Therefore is the anger of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) kindled against his people, and he has stretched forth his hand against them, and has smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcasses [were] torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand [is] stretched out still.

²⁶And he will lift up an flag (or banner; as of an army) to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly:

²⁷None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the belt of their waist be loosed, nor the sandal lace of their shoes be broken:

²⁸Whose arrows [are] sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses’ hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind:

²⁹Their roaring [shall be] like a lion, they shall roar like young lions: yes, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry [it] away safe, and none shall deliver [it].

³⁰And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea: and if [one] look unto the land, behold darkness [and] sorrow, and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof.

¹In the year that king ‘Uziyah [my strength is Yehovah] died I saw also the Lord-Adonai (The Father) [Greatest Above All Things] sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.

²Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he did fly.

³And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, (that is, HOLY!) [is] the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies]: the whole earth [is] full of his glory.

⁴And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.

⁵Then 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 my eyes have seen the King, the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies].

⁶Then 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:

⁷And he laid [it] upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this has touched youri lips; and youri iniquity is taken away, and youri sin purged.

⁸Also I heard the Voice of the Lord-Adonai (The Father) [Greatest Above All Things], saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here [am] I; send me.

⁹And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear you2f indeed, but understand not; and see you2f indeed, but perceive not.

¹⁰Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.

¹¹Then said I, Lord-Adonai (The Father) [Greatest Above All Things], how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,

¹²And the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) have removed men far away, and [there be] a great forsaking (desolation) in the midst of the land.

¹³But yet in it [shall be] a tenth, and [it] shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance [is] in them, when they cast [their leaves: so] the holy seed [shall be] the trunk thereof.

¹And it came to pass in the days of Achaz [he has grasped] the son of Toram [Yehovah is Perfect], the son of ‘Uziyah [my strength is Yehovah], king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], [that] Retzin [firm] the king of Aram (Syria) [exalted], and Pekach [opened] the son of Remalyahu [protected by Yehovah], king of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], went up toward Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] to war against it, but could not prevail against it.

²And it was told the house of David [beloved], saying, Aram (Syria) [exalted] is confederate with Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful]. And his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the wood are moved with the wind.

³Then said the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) unto Yesha’yahu [Yehovah has saved], Go forth now to meet Achaz [he has grasped], youi, and Sh’ar Yashuv [a remnant shall return] youri son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the Launderers’ Field;

⁴And say unto him, Take heed, and be quiet; fear not, neither be fainthearted for the two tails of these smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Retzin [firm] with Aram (Syria) [exalted], and of the son of Remalyahu [protected by Yehovah].

⁵Because Aram (Syria) [exalted], Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful], and the son of Remalyahu [protected by Yehovah], have taken evil counsel against youi, saying,

⁶Let us go up against Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], and vex it, and let us make a breach (breaking forth; a break; opening, inlet) in it for us, and set a king in the midst of it, [even] the son of Tav’el [God is good]:

⁷Thus says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER), It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass.

⁸For the head of Aram (Syria) [exalted] [is] Dammesek (Damascus) [silent is the sackcloth weaver], and the head of Dammesek (Damascus) [silent is the sackcloth weaver] [is] Retzin [firm]; and within sixty-five years shall Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful] be broken, that it be not a people.

⁹And the head of Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful] [is] Shomron [watch mountain], and the head of Shomron [watch mountain] [is] Remalyahu [protected by Yehovah]’s son. If you2f will not believe (have faith), surely you2f shall not be established.

¹⁰Moreover the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) spoke again unto Achaz [he has grasped], saying,

¹¹Ask youi a sign of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youri God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.

¹²But Achaz [he has grasped] said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

¹³And he said, Hear you2f now, O house of David [beloved]; [Is it] a small thing for you to weary men, but will you2f weary my God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] also?

¹⁴Therefore the Lord-Adonai (The Father) [Greatest Above All Things] himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Emmanu’El (With Us is The Creator God).

¹⁵Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.

¹⁶For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that youi abhor shall be forsaken of both her kings.

¹⁷The LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall bring upon youi, and upon youri people, and upon youri father’s house, days that you have not known, from the day that Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful] departed from Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised]; [even] the king of Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))).

¹⁸And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall hiss for the fly that [is] in the uttermost part of the rivers of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], and for the bee that [is] in the land of Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))).

¹⁹And they shall come, and shall rest all of them in the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and upon all thorns, and upon all bushes.

²⁰In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired, [namely], by them beyond the river, by the king of Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))), the head, and the hair of the feet: and it shall also consume the beard.

²¹And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] a man shall nourish a young cow, and two sheep;

²²And it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk [that] they shall give he shall eat butter: for butter and honey shall everyone eat that is left in the land.

²³And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] every place shall be, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand pieces of silver, it shall [even] be for briers and thorns.

²⁴With arrows and with bows shall [men] come there; because all the land shall become briers and thorns.

²⁵And [on] all hills that shall be excavated with the hoe, there shall not come there the fear of briers and thorns: but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of sheep.

¹Moreover the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said unto me, Take youi a great scroll, and write in it with a man’s pen the letters ‘Maher shalal, hash baz [swift is the booty, speedy is the prey].

²And I took unto me faithful witnesses to record, Uriyah [Yehovah is my light (flame)] the priest, and Z’kharyah [Yehovah remembers] the son of Y’verekhyahu [Yehovah blesses].

³And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bore a son. Then said the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) to me, Call his name ‘Maher shalal, hash baz [swift is the booty, speedy is the prey].

⁴For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father, and my mother, the riches of Dammesek (Damascus) [silent is the sackcloth weaver] and the spoil (plunder; prey; booty) of Shomron [watch mountain] shall be taken away before the king of Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))).

⁵The LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) spoke also unto me again, saying,

⁶Forasmuch as this people refuses the waters of Shilo’ach [sent] that go softly, and rejoice in Retzin [firm] and Remalyahu [protected by Yehovah]’s son;

⁷Now therefore, behold, the Lord-Adonai (The Father) [Greatest Above All Things] brings up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, [even] the king of Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))), and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his banks:

⁸And he shall pass through Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised]; 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 youri land, O Emmanu’El (With Us is The Creator God).

⁹Be broken, O you2f people, and you2f shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all you2f of far countries: gird yourselves, and you2f shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and you2f shall be broken in pieces.

¹⁰Take counsel together, and it shall come to nothing; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] [is] with us.

¹¹For the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying,

¹²Say you2f not, An alliance, to all [them to] whom this people shall say, An alliance; neither fear you2f their fear, nor be afraid.

¹³Sanctify (make holy; set apart for God’s use) the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] himself; and [let] him [be] your fear, and [let] him [be] your dread.

¹⁴And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], for a trap and for a snare to the inhabitants of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace].

¹⁵And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.

¹⁶Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.

¹⁷And I will wait upon the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), that hides his face from the house of Ya’akov [Heal of God], and I will look for him.

¹⁸Behold, I and the children whom the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has given me [are] for signs and for wonders in Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] from the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], which dwells in mount Tziyon [parched place].

¹⁹And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that whisper, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]? Should the living ask the dead?

²⁰To the law and to the testimony! if they speak not according to this word, [it is] because [there is] no light in them.

²¹And they shall pass through the land, hardly served and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall be troubled (be grieved; be displeased) themselves, and curse their king and their God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and look upward.

²²And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and [they shall be] driven to darkness.

¹Nevertheless the dimness [shall] not [be] such as [was] in her anguish, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Z’vulun [Glorious Dwelling Place] and the land of Naftali [My Wrestling], and afterward did more grievously afflict [her by] the way of the sea, beyond Yarden [Descender], in Galil [circuit, district] of the nations.

²The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them has the light shined.

³youi have multiplied the nation, [and] not increased the joy: they joy before youi according to the joy in harvest, [and] as [men] rejoice when they divide the spoil (plunder; prey; booty).

⁴For youi have broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midyan [Strife].

⁵For every battle of the warrior [is] with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but [this] shall be with burning [and] fuel of fire.

⁶For 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 Pele-Yo’etz El Gibbor Avi-’Ad Sar-Shalom (Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God [The Powerful Living Word], The Father of eternity, The Prince of Peace).

⁷Of the increase of [his] government and peace [there shall be] no end, upon the throne of David [beloved], and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from from this time forth (from now on) even forever. The zeal of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] will perform this.

⁸The Lord-Adonai (The Father) [Greatest Above All Things] sent a word into Ya’akov [Heal of God], and it has lighted upon Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].

⁹And all the people shall know, [even] Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful] and the inhabitant of Shomron [watch mountain], that say in the pride and stoutness of heart,

¹⁰The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with cut stones: the sycamores are cut down, but we will change [them into] cedars.

¹¹Therefore the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall set up the adversaries of Retzin [firm] against him, and join his enemies together;

¹²The Aram [Syrians] before, and the P’lishtim [Immigrants] behind; and they shall devour Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand [is] stretched out still.

¹³For the people turns not unto Him that smites them, neither do they seek the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies].

¹⁴Therefore the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) will cut off from Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] head and tail, branch and rush, in one day.

¹⁵The ancient and honourable, he [is] the head; and the prophet that teaches lies, he [is] the tail.

¹⁶For the leaders of this people cause [them] to err; and [they that are] led of them [are] destroyed.

¹⁷Therefore the Lord-Adonai (The Father) [Greatest Above All Things] shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: fore very one [is] an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand [is] stretched out still.

¹⁸For wickedness burns 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.

¹⁹Through the wrath of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall spare his brother.

²⁰And 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:

²¹M’nasheh [Causing to Forget], Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful]; and Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful], M’nasheh [Causing to Forget]: [and] they together [shall be] against Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised]. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand [is] stretched out still.

¹Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness [which] they have prescribed; (draft oppressive legislation);

²To turn aside the needy from justice, 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!

³And what will you2f do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation [which] shall come from afar? to whom will you2f flee for help? and where will you2f leave your wealth?

⁴Without 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.

⁵O Ashur (Assyrian), the rod of my anger, and the staff in their hand is my indignation.

⁶I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil (plunder; prey; booty), and to take the prey, and to trample them down like the mire of the streets.

⁷However he (Ashur) means not so, neither does his heart think so; but [it is] in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few.

⁸For he says, [Are] not my princes altogether kings?

⁹[Is] not Kalno [fortress of Anu] as Kark’mish [fortress of Chemosh (subdue)]? [is] not Hamat [Fortress] as Arpad [I shall be spread out (or supported)]? [is] not Shomron [watch mountain] as Dammesek (Damascus) [silent is the sackcloth weaver]?

¹⁰As my hand has found the kingdoms of the idols, and whose graven images did excel them of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] and of Shomron [watch mountain];

¹¹Shall I not, as I have done unto Shomron [watch mountain] and her idols, so do to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] and her idols?

¹²For this reason it shall come to pass, [that] when the Lord-Adonai (The Father) [Greatest Above All Things] has performed his whole work upon mount Tziyon [parched place] and on Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))), and the glory of his high looks.

¹³For he says, 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]:

¹⁴And my hand has found as a nest the riches of the people: and as one gathers eggs [that are] left, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped.

¹⁵Shall the axe boast itself against him that hews with that? [or] shall the saw magnify itself against him that shakes 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.

¹⁶Therefore shall the Lord-Adon [Lord of the Earth], the Lord Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire.

¹⁷And the light of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] 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;

¹⁸And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when a Flag (banner)-bearer faints.

¹⁹And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a child may write them.

²⁰And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the remnant of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and such as are escaped of the house of Ya’akov [Heal of God], shall no more again stay upon him that struck them; but shall stay upon the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), the Holy One of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], in truth.

²¹The remnant shall return, [even] the remnant of Ya’akov [Heal of God], unto the mighty God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].

²²For though youri people Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] be as the sand of the sea, [yet] a remnant of them shall return: the consumption (diseae that eats the body; destruction) decreed shall overflow with righteousness.

²³For the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] shall make a consumption (diseae that eats the body; destruction), even determined, in the midst of all the land.

²⁴Therefore thus says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], O my people that dwell in Tziyon [parched place], be not afraid of the Ashur (Assyrian): he shall strike youi with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against youi, after the manner of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place].

²⁵For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and my anger with have destroyed them.

²⁶And the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] shall stir up a scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midyan [Strife] at the rock of ‘Orev [Raven]: and [as] his rod [was] upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place].

²⁷And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] his burden shall be taken away from off youri shoulder, and his yoke from off youri neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the fatness.

²⁸He is come to ‘Ayat [heap of ruins], he is passed to Migron [precipice]; at Mikhmas [hidden] he has laid up his carriages:

²⁹They are gone over the passage: they have taken up their lodging at Geva [hill]; Ramah [Hill] is afraid; Giv’ah [Hill] of Sha’ul [desired] is fled.

³⁰Lift up youri voice, O daughter of Gallim [springs]: cause it to be heard unto Layish [Lion], O poor ‘Anatot [answers to prayer].

³¹Madmenah [dunghill] is removed; the inhabitants of Gevim [cistern] gather themselves to flee.

³²As yet shall he remain at Nov [high place] that day: he shall shake his hand [against] the mount of the daughter of Tziyon [parched place], the hill of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace].

³³Behold, the Lord-Adon [Lord of the Earth], the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], shall lop the bough with terror: and the high ones of stature [shall be] cut down, and the arrogant (proud; lifted up) shall be humbled.

³⁴And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and L’vanon [Whiteness] shall fall by a mighty one.

¹And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Yishai [I possess], and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:

²And the Spirit of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) 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-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate);

³And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:

⁴But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and decide with fairness for the meek of the earth: and he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.

⁵And righteousness shall be the belt of his waist, and faithfulness the belt of his hips.

⁶The 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 (fat cattle) together; and a little child shall lead them.

⁷And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

⁸And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp (cobra), and the weaned child shall put his hand on the Cockatrice (venomous snake)’ (viper’s) nest.

⁹They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), as the waters cover the sea.

¹⁰And in that day there shall be a root of Yishai [I possess], which shall stand for an flag (or banner; as of an army) of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his resting place shall be glorious.

¹¹And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the Lord-Adonai (The Father) [Greatest Above All Things] shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))), and from Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], and from Patros [region of the south], and from Cush (Ethiopia) [black], and from ‘Eilam [eternity], and from Shin’ar [country of two rivers], and from Hamat [Fortress], and from the islands of the sea.

¹²And he shall set up an flag (or banner; as of an army) for the Goyim, and shall assemble the outcasts of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and gather together the dispersed of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] from the four corners of the earth.

¹³The jealousy also of Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful] shall depart, and the adversaries of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] shall be cut off: Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful] shall not envy Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], and Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] shall not provoke Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful].

¹⁴But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the P’lishtim [Immigrants] toward the west; they shall spoil (plunder; prey; booty) them of the east together: they shall lay their hand upon Edom [Red] and Mo’av [Seed of my Father]; and the children of ‘Amon [Inbred] shall obey them.

¹⁵And the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall utterly destroy the tongue (gulf) of the Mitzri [Egyptian] sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, and shall strike it in the seven streams, and make [men] go over dry-shod.

¹⁶And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))); like as it was to Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] in the day that he came up out of the land of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place].

¹And in that day youi shall say, O LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), I will praise youi: though youi were angry with me, youri anger is turned away, and youi comfort me.

²Behold, God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] [is] my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD- [Yah] (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) [is] my strength and [my] song; he also is become my salvation [Yeshuah].

³Therefore with joy shall you2f draw water out of the wells of salvation [Yeshuah].

⁴And in that day shall you2f say, Praise the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that His name is exalted.

⁵Sing unto the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); for he has done excellent things: this [is] known in all the earth.

⁶Cry out and shout, youi inhabitant of Tziyon [parched place]: for great [is] the Holy One of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] in the midst of youi.

¹The burden of Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion], which Yesha’yahu [Yehovah has saved] the son of Amotz [strong] did see.

²Lift you2f 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.

³I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for my anger, [even] them that rejoice in my highness.

⁴The 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-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] musters the host of the battle.

⁵They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, [even] the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.

⁶Howl you2f; for the day of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) [is] at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty [Shaddai].

⁷Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man’s heart shall melt:

⁸And they shall be afraid: pangs (extreme sharp pains) and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travails: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces [shall be as] flames.

⁹Behold, the day of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) comes, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.

¹⁰For 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.

¹¹And 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.

¹²I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ofir [reducing to ashes].

¹³Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], and in the day of his fierce anger.

¹⁴And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man takes up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee everyone into his own land.

¹⁵Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and everyone that is joined [unto them] shall fall by the sword.

¹⁶Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives raped.

¹⁷Behold, I will stir up the Medes [middle land] against them, which shall not regard silver; and [as for] gold, they shall not delight in it.

¹⁸[Their] bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare children.

¹⁹And Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion], the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Kasdim [clod-breakers]’ excellency, shall be as when God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] overthrew S’dom [Burning] and ‘Amora [Submersion].

²⁰It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Aravi [Arabian] pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.

²¹But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful (mournful cry; sorrowful howl) creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and goats shall dance there.

²²And 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.

¹For the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) will have mercy on Ya’akov [Heal of God], and will yet choose Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave (split open; cut open; divide) to the house of Ya’akov [Heal of God].

²And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] shall possess them in the land of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.

³And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall give youi rest from youri sorrow, and from youri fear, and from the hard bondage wherein youi were made to serve,

⁴That youi shall take up this proverb against the king of Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion], and say, How has the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!

⁵The LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has broken the staff of the wicked, [and] the scepter of the rulers.

⁶He who struck the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, [and] none hinders it.

⁷The whole earth is at rest, [and] is quiet: they break forth into singing.

⁸Yes, the fir trees rejoice at youi, [and] the cedars of L’vanon [Whiteness], [saying], Since youi are laid down, no feller is come up against us.

⁹Hell from beneath is moved for youi to meet [youi] at youri coming: it stirs up the dead for youi, [even] all the chief ones of the earth; it has raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.

¹⁰All they shall speak and say unto youi, Are youi also become weak as we? are youi become like unto us?

¹¹Your1s pomp is brought down to the grave, [and] the noise of youri viols: the worm is spread under youi, and the worms cover youi.

¹²How are youi fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! [how] are youi cut down to the ground, which did weaken the nations!

¹³For youi have said in youri heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

¹⁴I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High.

¹⁵Yet youi shall be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

¹⁶They that see youi shall narrowly look upon youi, [and] consider youi, [saying, Is] this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;

¹⁷[That] made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; [that] opened not the house of his prisoners?

¹⁸All the kings of the nations, [even] all of them, lie in glory, everyone in his own tomb.

¹⁹But youi are cast out of youri grave like an abominable branch, [and as] the clothing of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcass trampled under feet.

²⁰youi shall not be joined with them in burial, because youi have destroyed youri land, [and] slain youri people: the seed of evildoers shall never be mentioned forever.

²¹Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.

²²For I will rise up against them, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], and cut off from Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion] the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

²³I will also make it a possession for the hedgehogs, and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the broom of destruction, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies].

²⁴The LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] has sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, [so] shall it stand:

²⁵That I will break the Ashur (Assyrian) in my land, and upon my mountains trample him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders.

²⁶This [is] the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this [is] the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.

²⁷For the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] has purposed, and who shall frustrate [it]? and his hand [is] stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

²⁸In the year that king Achaz [he has grasped] died was this burden.

²⁹Rejoice not youi, all of you P’leshet [Land of Strangers], because the rod of him that struck youi is broken: for out of the serpent’s root shall come forth a Cockatrice (venomous snake) (viper), and his fruit [shall be] a fiery flying serpent.

³⁰And the firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety: and I will kill youri root with famine, and he shall slay youri survivors

³¹Howl, O gate; cry, O city; youi, all of you P’leshet [Land of Strangers], [are] dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none [shall be] alone in his ranks.

³²What shall [one] then answer the messengers of the nation? That the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has founded Tziyon [parched place], and the poor of his people shall trust in it.

¹The burden of Mo’av [Seed of my Father]. Because in the night ‘Ar [A City] of Mo’av [Seed of my Father] is laid waste, [and] brought to silence; because in the night Kir [wall] of Mo’av [Seed of my Father] is laid waste, [and] brought to silence;

²He is gone up to Bayit [the temple], and to Divon [Wasting], the high places, to weep: Mo’av [Seed of my Father] shall howl over Nevo [Prophet], and over Meidva [Water of Rest]: on all their heads [shall be] baldness, [and] every beard cut off.

³In their streets they shall clothe themselves with sackcloth: on the tops of their houses, and in their streets, everyone shall howl, weeping abundantly.

⁴And Heshbon [Stronghold] shall cry, and El’aleh [God is Ascending]: their voice shall be heard [even] unto Yachatz [Trampled Down]: therefore the armed soldiers of Mo’av [Seed of my Father] shall cry out; his life shall be grievous unto him.

⁵My heart shall cry out for Mo’av [Seed of my Father]; his fugitives [shall flee] unto Tzo’ar [Insignificance], an heifer of three years old: for by the mounting up of Luchit [tablets (small, flat ornaments or jewelry)] with weeping shall they go it up; for in the way of Horonayim [two caves] [two caves] they shall raise up a cry of destruction.

⁶For the waters of Nimrim [pure] shall be desolate: for the hay is withered away, the grass fails, there is no green thing.

⁷Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, shall they carry away to the brook of the willows.

⁸For the cry is gone round about the borders of Mo’av [Seed of my Father]; the howling thereof unto Eglayim [double reservoir], and the howling thereof unto Be’er-Elim [well of God].

⁹For the waters of Dimon [river bed or silence] shall be full of blood: for I will bring more upon Dimon [river bed or silence], lions upon him that escapes of Mo’av [Seed of my Father], and upon the remnant of the land.

¹Send you2f the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela [the rocks] to the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Tziyon [parched place].

²For it shall be, [that], as a wandering bird cast out of the nest, [so] the daughters of Mo’av [Seed of my Father] shall be at the fords of ‘Arnon [Rushing Stream].

³Take counsel, execute judgment; make youri shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; betray not him that wanders.

⁴Let my outcasts dwell with youi, Mo’av [Seed of my Father]; be youi a colonnade to them from the face of the spoiler: for the extortioner is at an end, the spoiler ceases, the oppressors are consumed out of the land.

⁵And in mercy shall the throne be established: and he shall sit upon it in tin the tabernacle of David [beloved], judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness.

⁶We have heard of the pride of Mo’av [Seed of my Father]; [he is] very proud: [even] of his haughtiness, and his pride, and his wrath: [but] his lies [shall] not [be] so.

⁷Therefore shall Mo’av [Seed of my Father] howl for Mo’av [Seed of my Father], everyone shall howl: for the foundations of Kir-Hareset [wall of potsherds] shall you2f mourn; surely [they are] stricken.

⁸For the fields of Heshbon [Stronghold] languish, [and] the vine of Sivnah [Fragrance]: the lords of the heathen have broken down the principal plants thereof, they are come [even] unto Ya’zer [Helped], they wandered [through] the wilderness: her branches are stretched out, they are gone over the sea.

⁹Therefore I will bewail with the weeping of Ya’zer [Helped] the vine of Sivnah [Fragrance]: I will water youi with my tears, O Heshbon [Stronghold], and El’aleh [God is Ascending]: for the shouting for youri summer fruits and for youri harvest is fallen.

¹⁰And 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 trample out no wine in [their] presses; I have made [their vintage] shouting to cease.

¹¹For what reason my bowels (inward parts; affections) shall sound like an harp for Mo’av [Seed of my Father], and my inward parts for Kir-Heres [wall of potsherds].

¹²And it shall come to pass, when it is seen that Mo’av [Seed of my Father] is weary on the high place, that he shall come to his sanctuary to pray; but he shall not prevail.

¹³This [is] the word that the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has spoken concerning Mo’av [Seed of my Father] since that time.

¹⁴But now the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has spoken, saying, Within three years, as the years of an employee (hired laborer), and the glory of Mo’av [Seed of my Father] shall be scorned, with all that great multitude; and the remnant [shall be] very small [and] feeble.

¹The burden of Dammesek (Damascus) [silent is the sackcloth weaver]. Behold, Dammesek (Damascus) [silent is the sackcloth weaver] is taken away from [being] a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.

²The cities of ‘Aeo’er [Ruins] [are] forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make [them] afraid.

³The fortress also shall cease from Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful], and the kingdom from Dammesek (Damascus) [silent is the sackcloth weaver], and the remnant of Aram (Syria) [exalted]: they shall be as the glory of the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies].

⁴And in that day it shall come to pass, [that] the glory of Ya’akov [Heal of God] shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall grow (become; advance) lean.

⁵And it shall be as when the harvestman gathers the corn, and reaps the ears with his arm; and it shall be as he that gathers ears in the valley of Refa’im [giants].

⁶Yet 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, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].

⁷At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].

⁸And he shall not look to the altars, the work of his hands, neither shall respect [that] which his fingers have made, either the groves, or the images.

⁹In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken bough, and an uppermost branch, which they left because of the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]: and there shall be a desolation.

¹⁰Because youi have forgotten the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of youri salvation, and have not been mindful of the Rock of youri strength, therefore shall youi plant pleasant plants, and shall set them with vine slips of a strange god:

¹¹In the day shall youi make youri plant to grow, and in the morning shall youi make youri seed to flourish: [but] the harvest [shall be] a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.

¹²Woe to the multitude of many people, [which] make a noise like the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations, [that] make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!

¹³The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but [God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]] shall rebuke (reprimand; strongly warn; restrain) them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.

¹⁴And behold at evening trouble; [and] before the morning he [is] not. This [is] the portion of them that plunder us, and the lot of them that rob us.

¹Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which [is] beyond the rivers of Ethiopia [Kush]:

²That send ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes (papyrus) upon the waters, [saying], Go, you2f swift messengers, to a nation tall and bronzed, to a people terrible from far and wide; a nation powerful and oppressive, whose land the rivers have divided!

³All you2f inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see you2f, when he lifts up an flag (or banner; as of an army) on the mountains; and when he blows a trumpet, hear you2f.

⁴For so the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) 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.

⁵For before the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and take away [and] cut down the branches.

⁶They shall be left together unto the fowls of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.

⁷In that time shall the present be brought unto the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] of a people tall and bronzed and from a people terrible from their beginning up to this time; a nation meted out and trampled under foot, whose land the rivers have divided, to the place of the name of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], the mount Tziyon [parched place].

¹The burden of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place]. Behold, the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) rides upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place]: and the idols of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place] shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place] shall melt in the midst of it.

²And I will set the Mitzri against the Mitzri: and they shall fight everyone against his brother, and everyone against his neighbour; city against city, [and] kingdom against kingdom.

³And the spirit of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place] shall fail in the midst thereof; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards.

⁴And the Mitzri will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, says the Lord-Adon [Lord of the Earth], the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies].

⁵And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be parched and dried up.

⁶And they shall turn the rivers far away; [and] the brooks of defense shall be emptied and dried up: the reeds and flags shall wither.

⁷The paper reeds by the brooks, by the mouth of the brooks, and everything sown by the brooks, shall wither, be driven away, and be no [more].

⁸The fishers also shall mourn, and all they that cast angle (fishhook) into the brooks shall lament, and they that spread nets upon the waters shall languish.

⁹Moreover they that work in fine flax, and they that weave networks, shall be confounded.

¹⁰And they shall be broken in the purposes thereof, all that make sluices [and] ponds for fish.

¹¹Surely the princes of Tzo’an [Place of Departure] [are] fools, the counsel of the wise counselors of Par’oh [Pharaoh - Great House] is become cruel: how say you2f unto Par’oh [Pharaoh - Great House], I [am] the son of the wise (a sage), the son of ancient kings?

¹²Where [are] they? where [are] youri wise [men]? and let them tell youi now, and let them know what the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] has purposed upon Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place].

¹³The princes of Tzo’an [Place of Departure] are become fools, the princes of Nof [presentability] are deceived; they have also led astray Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], [even they that are] the cornerstone of the tribes.

¹⁴The LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has mingled a perverse spirit in the midst of it: and they have caused Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place] to err in every work there, as a drunken [man] staggers in his vomit.

¹⁵Neither shall there be [any] work for Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], which the head or tail, branch or rush, may do.

¹⁶In that day shall Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place] be like unto women: and it shall be afraid and fear because of the shaking of the hand of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], which he shakes over it.

¹⁷And the land of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] shall be a terror unto Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], everyone that makes mention thereof shall be afraid in himself, because of the counsel of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], which he has determined against it.

¹⁸In that day shall five cities in the land of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place] speak the language of Kena’an [Merchant], and swear to the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies]; one shall be called, The city of destruction.

¹⁹In that day shall there be an altar to the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) in the midst of the land of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], and a pillar at the border thereof to the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

²⁰And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] in the land of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place]: for they shall cry unto the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and he shall deliver them.

²¹And the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall be known to Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], and the Mitzri shall know the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) in that day, and shall do sacrifice and oblation; yes, they shall vow a vow unto the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and perform [it].

²²And the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall strike Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place]: he shall strike and heal [it]: and they shall return [even] to the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and he shall be entreated of them, and shall heal them.

²³In that day shall there be a highway out of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place] to Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))), and the Ashur (Assyrian) shall come into Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], and the Mitzri [Egyptian] into Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))), and the Mitzri shall serve with the children of Ashur.

²⁴In that day shall Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] be the third with Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place] and with Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))), [even] a blessing in the midst of the land:

²⁵Whom the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] shall bless, saying, Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) [be] Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place] my people, and Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))) the work of my hands, and Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] my inheritance.

¹In the year that Tartan [general] came unto Ashdod [powerful], (when Sargon [prince of the sun] the king of Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))) sent him,) and fought against Ashdod [powerful], and took it;

²At the same time spoke the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) by Yesha’yahu [Yehovah has saved] the son of Amotz [strong], saying, Go and loose the sackcloth from off youri waist, and put off youri shoe from youri foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.

³And the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said, Like as my servant Yesha’yahu [Yehovah has saved] has walked naked and barefoot three years [for] a sign and wonder upon Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place] and upon Ethiopia [Kush];

⁴So shall the king of Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))) lead away the Mitzri prisoners, and the Ethiopians captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, even with [their] buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place].

⁵And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia [Kush] their expectation, and of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place] their glory.

⁶And the inhabitant of this isle shall say in that day, Behold, such [is] our expectation, to which we flee for help to be delivered from the king of Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))): and how shall we escape?

¹The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds in the south pass through; [so] it comes from the desert, from a terrible land.

²A grievous vision is declared unto me; the treacherous dealer deals treacherously, and the spoiler spoils. Go up, O ‘Eilam [eternity]: besiege, O Madai [middle land]; all the sighing thereof have I made to cease.

³Therefore are my waist filled with pain: pangs (extreme sharp pains) have taken hold upon me, as the pangs (extreme sharp pains) of a woman that travails: I was bowed down at the hearing [of it]; I was dismayed at the seeing [of it].

⁴My heart panted, fearfulness affrighted me: the night of my pleasure has he turned into fear unto me.

⁵Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise, you2f princes, [and] anoint the shield.

⁶For thus has the Lord-Adonai (The Father) [Greatest Above All Things] said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he sees.

⁷And he saw a chariot [with] a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, [and] a chariot of camels; and he listened diligently with much heed:

⁸And he cried, A lion: My lord-Adonai (The Father) [Greatest Above All Things], I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my ward (in custody, with a guard; prison) whole nights:

⁹And, behold, here comes a chariot of men, [with] a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion] is fallen! is fallen! and all the graven images of her gods He has broken unto the ground.

¹⁰O my threshing, and the corn of my floor: that which I have heard of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], have I declared unto you.

¹¹The burden of Dumah [Silence]. He calls to me out of Se’ir [Shaggy], Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?

¹²The watchman said, The morning comes, and also the night: if you2f will enquire, enquire you2f: return, come.

¹³The burden upon Arabia [steppe-dwellers]. In the forest in Arabia [steppe-dwellers] shall you2f lodge, O you2f travelling companies of D’danim [low country].

¹⁴The inhabitants of the land of Teima [desert] brought water to him that was thirsty, they prevented with their bread him that fled.

¹⁵For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war.

¹⁶For thus has the Lord-Adonai (The Father) [Greatest Above All Things] said unto me, Within a year, according to the years of an employee (hired laborer), and all the glory of Kedar [dark] shall fail:

¹⁷And the residue (part that remains, the rest) of the number of archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar [dark], shall be diminished: for the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] has spoken [it].

¹The burden of the Valley of Vision. What ails youi now, that youi are wholly gone up to the housetops?

²Youi that are full of noise, a tumultuous city, a joyous city: youri slain [men are] not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle.

³All youri rulers are fled together, they are bound by the archers: all that are found in youi are bound together, [which] have fled from far.

⁴Therefore said I, Look away from me; I will weep bitterly, labour not to comfort me, because of the spoiling of the daughter of my people.

⁵For [it is] a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity by the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] in the Valley of Vision, breaking down the walls, and of crying to the mountains.

⁶And ‘Eilam [eternity] bore the quiver with chariots of men [and] horsemen, and Kir [wall] uncovered the shield.

⁷And it shall come to pass, [that] youri choicest valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horsemen shall set themselves in array (to put on; to clothe) at the gate.

⁸And he removed the protection of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], and youi did look in that day to the armour of the House of the Forest.

⁹You2f have seen also the breaches of the city of David [beloved], that they are many: and you2f gathered together the waters of the lower pool.

¹⁰And you2f have numbered the houses of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], and the houses have you2f broken down to fortify the wall.

¹¹You2f made also a ditch between the two walls for the water of the old pool: but you2f have not looked unto the maker of it, neither had respect unto him that fashioned it long ago.

¹²And in that day did the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] call to (to do entirely, do wholly) weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth:

¹³And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for tomorrow we shall die.

¹⁴And it was revealed in my ears by the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till you2f die, says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies].

¹⁵Thus says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], Go, get youi unto this treasurer, [even] unto Shevnah [vigour], which [is] over the Temple, [and say],

¹⁶What have youi here? and whom have youi here, that youi have hewed yourselfi out a sepulcher here, [as] he that hews him out a sepulcher on high, [and] that carve an resting place for himself in a rock?

¹⁷Behold, the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) will carry youi away with a mighty captivity, and will surely grasp youi firmly.

¹⁸He will surely violently turn and toss youi [like] a ball into a large country: there shall youi die, and there the chariots of youri glory [shall be] the shame of youri lord’s house.

¹⁹And I will drive youi from youri station, and from youri state shall he pull youi down.

²⁰And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Elyakim [God sets up] the son of Hilkiyahu [my portion is Yehovah]:

²¹And I will clothe him with youri robe, and strengthen him with youri belt, and I will commit youri government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], and to the house of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised].

²²And the key of the house of David [beloved] will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.

²³And I will fasten him [as] a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father’s house.

²⁴And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father’s house, the offspring and the issue (what comes forth), all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of flagons.

²⁵In that day, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], shall the nail that is fastened in the sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that [was] upon it shall be cut off: for the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has spoken [it].

¹The burden of Tzor [a rock]. Howl, you2f ships of Tarshish [yellow jasper]; for it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in: from the land of Kittim [Bruisers] it is revealed to them.

²Be still, you2f inhabitants of the isle; youi whom the merchants of Tzidon [Hunting], that pass over the sea, have replenished.

³And by great waters the seed of Shichor [Dark], the harvest of the river (Nile), [is] her revenue; and she was the marketplace of nations.

⁴Be youi ashamed, O Tzidon [Hunting]: for the sea has spoken, [even] the strength of the sea, saying, I travail not, nor bring forth children, neither do I nourish up young men, [nor] bring up virgins.

⁵As at the report concerning Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], [so] shall they be sorely pained at the report of Tzor [a rock].

⁶Pass you2f over to Tarshish [yellow jasper]; howl, you2f inhabitants of the isle.

⁷[Is] this your joyous [city], whose antiquity [is] of ancient days? her own feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn.

⁸Who has taken this counsel against Tzor [a rock], the crowning [city], whose merchants [are] princes, whose traffickers [are] the honourable of the earth?

⁹The LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] has purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, [and] to bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth.

¹⁰Pass through youri land as a river, O daughter of Tarshish [yellow jasper]: [there is] no more strength.

¹¹He stretched out his hand over the sea, he shook the kingdoms: the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has given a commandment against the merchant [city], to destroy the strong holds thereof.

¹²And he said, youi shall no more rejoice, O youi oppressed virgin, daughter of Tzidon [Hunting]: arise, pass over to Kittim [Bruisers]; there also shall youi have no rest.

¹³Behold the land of the Kasdim [clod-breakers]; this people was not, [till] the Ashur (Assyrian) founded it for them that dwell in the wilderness: they set up the towers thereof, they raised up the palaces thereof; [and] he brought it to ruin.

¹⁴Howl, you2f ships of Tarshish [yellow jasper]: for your strength is laid waste.

¹⁵And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tzor (Tyre) [a rock] shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years shall Tzor (Tyre) [a rock] sing as an prostitute.

¹⁶Take an harp, go about the city, youi prostitute that have been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that youi may be remembered.

¹⁷And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) will visit Tzor [a rock], and she shall turn to her hire, and shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.

¹⁸And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing.

¹Behold, the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) makes the earth empty, and makes it waste, and turns it upside down, and scatters abroad the inhabitants thereof.

²And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury (interest paid for using money), so with the giver of usury (interest paid for using money) to him.

³The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has spoken this word.

⁴The earth mourns [and] fades away, the world languishes [and] fades away, the arrogant (proud; lifted up) people of the earth do languish.

⁵The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.

⁶Therefore has the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell in it are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.

⁷The New Wine mourns, the vine languishes, all the merry hearted do sigh.

⁸The gladness of tambourines ceases, the noise of them that rejoice ends, the joy of the harp ceases.

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

¹⁰The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up, that no man may come in.

¹¹[There is] a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the gladness of the land is gone.

¹²In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction.

¹³When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, [there shall be] as the shaking of an olive tree, [and] as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done.

¹⁴They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), they shall cry aloud from the sea.

¹⁵For what reason glorify you2f the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) in the fires, [even] the name of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] in the isles of the sea.

¹⁶From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, [even] glory to the righteous. But I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me! the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; yes, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously.

¹⁷Fear, and the pit, and the snare, [are] upon youi, O inhabitant of the earth.

¹⁸And it shall come to pass, [that] he who flees from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that comes up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake.

¹⁹The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.

²⁰The earth shall reel (stagger, walk to and fro like a drunkard) to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a shack; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.

²¹And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall punish the host of the high ones [that are] on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.

²²And they shall be gathered together, [as] prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited.

²³Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] shall reign in mount Tziyon [parched place], and in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], and before his ancients gloriously.

¹O LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), youi [are] my God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]; I will exalt youi, I will praise youri name; for youi have done wonderful [things; youi] counsels of old [are] faithfulness [and] truth.

²For youi have made of a city an heap; [of] a defended city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built.

³Therefore shall the strong people glorify youi, the city of the terrible nations shall fear youi.

⁴For youi have been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones [is] as a storm [against] the wall.

⁵youi shall bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; [even] the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low.

⁶And in this mountain shall the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of aged wines, of fat things full of marrow, of wines fermented on their dregs (sediment settled in liquid; the dregs) well refined.

⁷And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the veil that is spread over all nations.

⁸He will swallow (to approve, commend, accept) up death in victory; and the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER) will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the disgrace of his people shall He take away from off all the earth: for the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has spoken [it].

⁹And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this [is] our God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]; we have waited for Him, and He will save us: this [is] the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); we have waited for Him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.

¹⁰For in this mountain shall the hand of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) rest, and Mo’av [Seed of my Father] shall be trampled down under him, even as straw is trampled down for the dunghill.

¹¹And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swims spreads forth [his hands] to swim: and he shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands.

¹²And the fortress of the high fort of youri walls shall he bring down, lay low, [and] bring to the ground, [even] to the dust.

¹In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised]; We have a strong city; salvation will [God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]] appoint [for] walls and bulwarks.

²Open you2f the gates, that the righteous nation which keeps the tmay enter in.

³youi will keep [him] in perfect peace, [whose] mind [is] detained (held) [on youi]: because he in youi.

⁴Trust you2f in the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) forever: for in the LORD- [Yah] (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Yehovah [is] everlasting strength:

⁵For he brings down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he lays it low; he lays it low, [even] to the ground; he brings it [even] to the dust.

⁶The foot shall trample it down, [even] the feet of the poor, [and] the steps of the needy.

⁷The way of the just [is] uprightness: youi, most upright, do weigh the path of the just.

⁸Yes, in the way of youri judgments, O LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), have we waited for youi; the desire of [our] soul [is] to youri Name, and to the remembrance of youi.

⁹With my soul have I desired youi in the night; yes, with my spirit within me will I seek youi early: for when youri judgments [are] in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.

¹⁰Let favour be showed to the wicked, [yet] will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

¹¹LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), [when] youri hand is lifted up, they will not see: [but] they shall see, and be ashamed for [their] envy at the people; yes, the fire of youri enemies shall devour them.

¹²LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), youi will ordain peace for us: for youi also have wrought all our works in us.

¹³O LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) our God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], [other] lords beside youi have had dominion over us: [but] by youi only will we make mention of youri Name.

¹⁴[They are] dead, they shall not live; [they are] deceased, they shall not rise: therefore have youi visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.

¹⁵youi have increased the nation, O LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), youi have increased the nation: youi are glorified: youi had removed [it] far [unto] all the ends of the earth.

¹⁶LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), in trouble have they visited youi, they poured out a prayer [when] youri chastening [was] upon them.

¹⁷Like as a woman with child, [that] draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain, [and] cries out in her pangs (extreme sharp pains); so have we been in youri sight, O LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

¹⁸We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were have given birth to wind; we have not brought any salvation in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world born.

¹⁹Your1s dead [men] shall live, [together with] my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, you2f that dwell in dust: for youri dew [is as] the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.

²⁰Come, my people, enter youi into youri chambers, and shut youri doors about youi: hide yourself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.

²¹For, behold, the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) comes out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

¹In that day the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish Livyatan [sea monster, dragon] the piercing serpent, even Livyatan [sea monster, dragon] that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that [is] in the sea.

²In that day sing you2f unto her, A vineyard of red wine.

³I the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest [any] hurt it, I will keep it night and day.

⁴Fury [is] not in me: who would set the briers [and] thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.

⁵Or let him take hold of my strength, [that] he may make peace with me; [and] he shall make peace with me.

⁶He shall cause them that come of Ya’akov [Heal of God] to take root: Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.

⁷Has he smitten him, as he struck those that struck him? [or] is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?

⁸In measure, when it shoots forth, youi will debate with it: he stays his rough wind in the day of the east wind.

⁹By this therefore shall the iniquity of Ya’akov [Heal of God] be purged; and this [is] all the fruit to take away his sin; when he makes all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up.

¹⁰Yet the fortified city [shall be] desolate, [and] the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.

¹¹When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come, [and] set them on fire: for it [is] a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will show them no favour.

¹²And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], and you2f shall be gathered one by one, O you2f people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].

¹³And 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 Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))), and the outcasts in the land of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], and shall worship the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) in the Holy Mount at Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace].

¹Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful], whose glorious beauty [is] a fading flower, which [are] on the head of the fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine!

²Behold, the Lord has a mighty and strong one, [which] as a tempest of hail [and] a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand.

³The crown of pride, the drunkards of Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful], shall be trampled under feet:

⁴And the glorious beauty, which [is] on the head of the fat valley, shall be a fading flower, [and] as the hasty fruit before the summer; which [when] he that looks upon it sees, while it is yet in his hand he eats it up.

⁵In that day shall the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] be for a Crown of Glory, and for a Diadem (royal headband worn by Eastern kings) of beauty, unto the residue (part that remains, the rest) of his people,

⁶And for a spirit of judgment to him that sits in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.

⁷But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallow (to approve, commend, accept)ed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble [in] judgment.

⁸For all tables are full of vomit [and] filthiness, [so that there is] no place [clean].

⁹Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? [them that are] weaned from the milk, [and] drawn from the breasts.

¹⁰For precept [must be] upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, [and] there a little:

¹¹For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.

¹²To whom he said, This [is] the rest [which] you2f may cause the weary to rest; and this [is] the refreshing: yet they would not hear.

¹³But the word of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) 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 captive.

¹⁴For this reason hear the word of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), you2f scornful men, that rule this people which [is] in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace].

¹⁵Because you2f have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:

¹⁶Therefore thus says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER), Behold, I lay in Tziyon [parched place] for a Foundation a Stone, a tried stone, a precious corner [stone], a sure Foundation: he that believeth shall not be disturbed.

¹⁷Justice also will I lay as the plumbline, and righteousness to the level: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.

¹⁸And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then you2f shall be trampled down by it.

¹⁹From the time that it goes forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a anguish only [to] understand the report.

²⁰For the bed is shorter than that [a man] can stretch himself [on it]: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself [in it].

²¹For the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall rise up as [in] Mount P’ratzim [breaches], he shall be exceedingly angry as [in] the valley of Giv’on [Hill City], that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.

²²Now therefore be you2f not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER) Ts’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] a consumption (diseae that eats the body; destruction), even determined upon the whole earth.

²³Give you2f ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech.

²⁴Does the plowman plow all day to sow? does he open and break the clods of his ground?

²⁵When he has made plain the face thereof, does he not cast abroad the fitches (a kind of grain used for seasoning), and scatter the cummin, and cast in the principal wheat and the appointed barley and the rye in their place?

²⁶For his God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] does instruct him to discretion, [and] does teach him.

²⁷For the fitches (a kind of grain used for seasoning) are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the fitches (a kind of grain used for seasoning) are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod.

²⁸Bread [corn] is bruised; because he will not ever be threshing it, nor break [it with] the wheel of his cart, nor bruise it [with] his horsemen.

²⁹This also comes forth from the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], [which] is wonderful in counsel, [and] excellent in working.

¹Woe to Ari’el [lion of God], to Ari’el [lion of God], the city [where] David [beloved] dwelt! add you2f year to year; let them kill sacrifices.

²Yet I will distress Ari’el [lion of God], and there shall be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ari’el [lion of God].

³And I will camp against youi round about, and will lay siege against youi with a mount, and I will raise forts against youi.

⁴And youi shall be brought down, [and] shall speak out of the ground, and youri speech shall be low out of the dust, and youri voice shall be, as of one that has a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and youri speech shall whisper out of the dust.

⁵Moreover the multitude of youri strangers shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones [shall be] as chaff that passes away: yes, it shall be at an instant suddenly.

⁶Youi shall be visited of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.

⁷And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ari’el [lion of God], even all that fight against her and her munitions, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision.

⁸It shall even be as when an hungry [man] deems, and, behold, he eats; but he awakes, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man deems, and, behold, he drink; but he awakes, and, behold, [he is] faint, and his soul has appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Tziyon [parched place].

⁹Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry you2f out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.

¹⁰For the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers has He covered.

¹¹And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which [men] deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray youi: and he says, I cannot; for it [is] sealed:

¹²And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray youi: and he says, I am not learned.

¹³For what reason the Lord-Adonai (The Father) [Greatest Above All Things] 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:

¹⁴Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, [even] a marvelous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise [men] shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent [men] shall be hid.

¹⁵Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who sees us? and who knows us?

¹⁶Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter’s clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?

¹⁷[Is] it not yet a very little while, and L’vanon [Whiteness] shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?

¹⁸And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness.

¹⁹The meek also shall increase [their] joy in the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].

²⁰For the terrible one is brought to nothing, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:

²¹That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproves in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nothing.

²²Therefore thus says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), who redeemed Avraham [Exalted Father], concerning the house of Ya’akov [Heal of God], Ya’akov [Heal of God] shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now grow (become; advance) pale.

²³But when he sees his children, the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify (make holy; set apart for God’s use) my name, and sanctify (make holy; set apart for God’s use) the Holy One of Ya’akov [Heal of God], and shall fear the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].

²⁴They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.

¹Woe to the rebellious children, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), 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:

²That walk to go down into Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Par’oh [Pharaoh - Great House], and to trust in the shadow of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place]!

³Therefore shall the strength of Par’oh [Pharaoh - Great House] be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place] [your] confusion.

⁴For his princes were at Tzo’an [Place of Departure], and his ambassadors came to Hanes.

⁵They were all ashamed of a people [that] could not profit them, nor be an help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach (disgrace; shame).

⁶The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish, from what place [come] the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels (camel’s humps), to a people [that] shall not profit [them].

⁷For the Mitzri shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength [is] to sit still.

⁸Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come forever and ever:

⁹That this [is] a rebellious people, lying children, children [that] will not hear the law of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate):

¹⁰Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:

¹¹Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] to cease from before us.

¹²For what reason thus says the Holy One of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], Because you2f despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon:

¹³Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach (breaking forth; a break; opening, inlet) ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly at an instant.

¹⁴And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters’ vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a shard to take fire from the hearth, or to take water [withal] out of the pit.

¹⁵For thus says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER), the Holy One of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]; In returning and rest shall you2f be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and you2f would not.

¹⁶But you2f said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall you2f flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.

¹⁷One thousand [shall flee] at the rebuke (reprimand; strongly warn; restrain) of one; at the rebuke (reprimand; strongly warn; restrain) of five shall you2f flee: till you2f be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an flag (or banner; as of an army) on an hill.

¹⁸And therefore will the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) [is] a God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of judgment: Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) [are] all they that wait for him.

¹⁹For the people shall dwell in Tziyon [parched place] at Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]: youi shall weep no more: he will be very gracious unto youi at the voice of youi cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer youi.

²⁰And [though] the Lord-Adonai (The Father) [Greatest Above All Things] give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not youri teachers be removed into a corner any more, but youri eyes shall see youri teachers:

²¹And youri ears shall hear a word behind youi, saying, This [is] the way, walk you2f in it, when you2f turn to the right hand, and when you2f turn to the left.

²²You2f shall defile also the covering of youri graven images of silver, and the ornament of youri molten images of gold: youi shall cast them away as a monstrous cloth; youi shall say unto it, Get youi hence.

²³Then shall he give the rain of youi seed, that youi shall sow the ground withal; and bread of the increase of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall youri cattle feed in large pastures.

²⁴The oxen likewise and the young asses that ear the ground shall eat clean provender (food for livestock or cattle), which has been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan (a fork-shaped tool to throw grain in the air, to let he wind separate the wheat from the chaff).

²⁵And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers [and] streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.

²⁶Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) binds up the breach (breaking forth; a break; opening, inlet) of his people, and heals the stroke of their wound.

²⁷Behold, the name of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) comes from far, burning [with] his anger, and the burden [thereof is] heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:

²⁸And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and [there shall be] a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing [them] to err.

²⁹You2f shall have a song, as in the night [when] a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goes with a pipe to come into the mountain of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), to the mighty One of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].

³⁰And the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall show the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of [his] anger, and [with] the flame of a devouring fire, [with] scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.

³¹For through the Voice of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall the Ashur (Assyrian) be beaten down, [which] struck with a rod.

³²And [in] every place where the grounded staff shall pass, which the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall lay upon him, [it] shall be with tambourines and harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with it.

³³For Tofet [place of fire] [is] ordained of old; yes, for the king it is prepared; he has made [it] deep [and] large: the pile thereof [is] fire and much wood; the breath of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), like a stream of sulfur, does kindle it.

¹Woe to them that go down to Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place] 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 Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], neither seek the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate)!

²Yet he also [is] wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words: but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of them that work iniquity.

³Now the Mitzri [are] men, and not God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall stretch out his hand, both he that helps shall fall, and he that is helped shall fall down, and they all shall fail together.

⁴For thus has the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) 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-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] come down to fight for mount Tziyon [parched place], and for the hill thereof.

⁵As birds flying, so will the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] defend Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]; defending also he will deliver [it; and] passing over he will preserve it.

⁶Turn you2f unto [him from] whom the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] have deeply revolted.

⁷For in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you [for] a sin.

⁸Then shall the Ashur (Assyrian) fall with the sword, not of a mighty man; and the sword, not of a common man, shall devour him: but he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be scattered (defeated in battle).

⁹And he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear, and his princes shall be afraid of the flag (or banner; as of an army), says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), whose fire [is] in Tziyon [parched place], and his furnace in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace].

¹Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment.

²And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a colonnade from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.

³And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken.

⁴The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.

⁵The vile person shall be no more called generous, nor the rude (unskilled, unrefined or unlearned) said [to be] bountiful.

⁶For the vile person will speak villainy, and his heart will work iniquity, to practice hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.

⁷The instruments also of the rude (unskilled, unrefined or unlearned) [are] evil: he devises wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaks right.

⁸But the generous devises generous things; and by generous things shall he stand.

⁹Rise up, you2f women that are at ease; hear my voice, you2f careless daughters; give ear unto my speech.

¹⁰Many days and years shall you2f be troubled, you2f careless women: for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come.

¹¹Tremble, you2f women that are at ease; be troubled, you2f careless ones: strip you, and make you bare, and gird [sackcloth] upon [your] waist.

¹²Beat your breasts, for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.

¹³Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns [and] briers; yes, upon all the houses of joy [in] the joyous city:

¹⁴Because the palaces shall be forsaken; the multitude of the city shall be left; the forts and towers shall be for dens forever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;

¹⁵Until the Spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.

¹⁶Then justice shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field.

¹⁷And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance forever.

¹⁸And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places;

¹⁹When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place.

²⁰Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) [are] you2f that sow beside all waters, that send forth [there] the feet of the ox and the ass.

¹Woe to youi that spoil (plunder; prey; booty), and youi [were] not spoiled; and deal treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with youi! when youi shall cease to spoil (plunder; prey; booty), youi shall be spoiled; [and] when youi shall make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with youi.

²O LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), be gracious unto us; we have waited for youi: be youi their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.

³At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting up of yourself the nations were scattered.

⁴And your spoil (plunder; prey; booty) shall be gathered [like] the gathering of the caterpillar: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run upon them.

⁵The LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) is exalted; for he dwells on high: he has filled Tziyon [parched place] with judgment and righteousness.

⁶And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of youri times, [and] strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) [is] his treasure.

⁷Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.

⁸The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceases: he has broken the covenant, he has despised the cities, he regards no man.

⁹The earth mourns [and] languishes: L’vanon [Whiteness] is ashamed [and] cut down: Sharon [a plain] is like a wilderness; and Bashan [Fruitful] and Carmel [Garden-land] shake off [their fruits].

¹⁰Now will I rise, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.

¹¹You2f shall conceive chaff, you2f shall bring forth stubble: your breath, [as] fire, shall devour you.

¹²And the people shall be [as] the burnings of lime: [as] thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.

¹³Hear, you2f [that are] far off, what I have done; and, you2f [that are] near, acknowledge my might.

¹⁴The sinners in Tziyon [parched place] are afraid; fearfulness has surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?

¹⁵He that walks righteously, and speaks uprightly; he that despises the gain of oppressions, that shakes his hands from holding of bribes, that stops his ears from hearing of blood, and shuts his eyes from seeing evil;

¹⁶He shall dwell on high: his place of defense [shall be] the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters [shall be] sure.

¹⁷Your1s eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.

¹⁸Your1s heart shall meditate terror. Where [is] the scribe? where [is] the receiver? where [is] he that counted the towers?

¹⁹youi shall not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than youi can perceive; of a stammering tongue, [that youi can] not understand.

²⁰Look upon Tziyon [parched place], the city of our solemnities: youri eyes shall see Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] 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.

²¹But there the glorious LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) [will be] unto us a place of broad rivers [and] streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.

²²For the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) [is] our judge, the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) [is] our lawgiver, the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) [is] our king; he will save us.

²³Your1s tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil (plunder; prey; booty) divided; the lame take the prey.

²⁴And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell in it [shall be] forgiven [their] iniquity.

¹Come near, you2f nations, to hear; and hearken, you2f people: let the earth hear, and all that is in it; the world, and all things that come forth of it.

²For the indignation of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) [is] upon all nations, and [his] fury upon all their armies: he has utterly destroyed them, he has delivered them to the slaughter.

³Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcasses, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood.

⁴And all the army of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falls off from the vine, and as a falling [fig] from the fig tree.

⁵For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Edom [red], and upon the people of my curse, to judgment.

⁶The sword of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) 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-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has a sacrifice in Botzrah [sheepfold or fortress], and a great slaughter in the land of Edom [red].

⁷And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.

⁸For [it is] the day of the LORD-Yehōvah’s [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] vengeance, [and] the year of recompenses for the controversy of Tziyon [parched place].

⁹And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into sulfur, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch.

¹⁰It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up forever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it forever and ever.

¹¹But the cormorant and the hedgehogs shall possess it; the owl also and the raven shall dwell in it: and he shall stretch out upon it the line of confusion, and the stones of emptiness.

¹²They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none [shall be] there, and all her princes shall be nothing.

¹³And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be an habitation of dragons, [and] a court for owls.

¹⁴The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the he-goat shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest.

¹⁵There shall the great owl make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow: there shall the vultures also be gathered, everyone with her mate.

¹⁶Seek you2f out of the Book of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall lack her mate: for my mouth it has commanded, and his spirit it has gathered them.

¹⁷And he has cast the lot for them, and his hand has divided it unto them by line: they shall possess it forever, from generation to generation shall they dwell in it.

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

²It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of L’vanon [Whiteness] shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel [Garden-land] and Sharon [a plain], they shall see the glory of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), [and] the excellency of our God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].

³Strengthen you2f the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.

⁴Say to them [that are] of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] will come [with] vengeance, [even] God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] [with] a recompense; he will come and save you.

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

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

⁷And 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.

⁸And 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 [in it].

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

¹⁰And the ransomed of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall return, and come to Tziyon [parched place] with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

¹Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength], [that] Sancheriv [Sin (the moon) multiplied brothers] king of Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))) came up against all the fortified cities of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], and took them.

²And the king of Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))) sent Rav-Shakeh [chief cupbearer] from Lakhish [Invincible] to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] unto king Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength] with a great army. And he stood by the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the Launderers’ Field.

³Then came forth unto him Elyakim [God sets up], Hilkiyahu [my portion is Yehovah]’s son, which was over the house, and Shevnah [vigour] the scribe, and Yo’ach [Yahovah is brother], Asaf [gatherer]’s son, the recorder.

⁴And Rav-Shakeh [chief cupbearer] said unto them, Say you2f now to Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength], Thus says the great king, the king of Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))), What confidence [is] this wherein youi trust?

⁵I say, [say youi], (but [they are but] vain words) [I have] counsel and strength for war: now on whom do youi trust, that youi rebel against me?

⁶Lo, youi trust in the staff of this broken reed, on Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place]; whereon if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so [is] Par’oh [Pharaoh - Great House] king of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place] to all that trust in him.

⁷But if youi say to me, We trust in the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) our God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]: [is it] not he, whose high places and whose altars Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength] has taken away, and said to Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] and to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], You2f shall worship before this altar?

⁸Now therefore give pledges, I pray youi, to my master the king of Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))), and I will give youi two thousand horses, if youi be able on youri part to set riders upon them.

⁹How then will youi turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master’s servants, and put youri trust on Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place] for chariots and for horsemen?

¹⁰And am I now come up without the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) against this land to destroy it? the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said unto me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.

¹¹Then said Elyakim [God sets up] and Shevnah [vigour] and Yo’ach [Yahovah is brother] unto Rav-Shakeh [chief cupbearer], Speak, I pray youi, unto youri servants in the Arami [exalted] language; for we understand [it]: and speak not to us in the Y’hudit (Y’hudim (Judeans)’) language, in the ears of the people that [are] on the wall.

¹²But Rav-Shakeh [chief cupbearer] said, Has my master sent me to youri master and to youi to speak these words? [has he] not [sent me] to the men that sit upon the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you?

¹³Then Rav-Shakeh [chief cupbearer] stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Y’hudit (Y’hudim (Judeans)’) language, and said, Hear you2f the words of the great king, the king of Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))).

¹⁴Thus says the king, Let not Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength] deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you.

¹⁵Neither let Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength] make you trust in the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), saying, The LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) will surely deliver us: this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))).

¹⁶Listen not to Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength]: for thus says the king of Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))), Make [an agreement] with me [by] a present, and come out to me: and eat you2f everyone of his vine, and everyone of his fig tree, and drink you2f everyone the waters of his own cistern;

¹⁷Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards.

¹⁸[Beware] lest Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength] persuade you, saying, The LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) will deliver us. Has any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known)))?

¹⁹Where [are] the gods of Hamat [Fortress] and Arpad [I shall be supported]? where [are] the gods of S’farvayim [the two Sipparas (the city of books)]? and have they delivered Shomron [watch mountain] out of my hand?

²⁰Who [are they] among all the gods of these lands, that have delivered their land out of my hand, that the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) should deliver Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] out of my hand?

²¹But they held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king’s commandment was, saying, Answer him not.

²²Then came Elyakim [God sets up], the son of Hilkiyahu [my portion is Yehovah], that [was] over the household, and Shevnah [vigour] the scribe, and Yo’ach [Yahovah is brother], the son of Asaf [gatherer], the recorder, to Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength] with [their] clothes rent, and told him the words of Rav-Shakeh [chief cupbearer].

¹And it came to pass, when king Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength] heard [it], that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

²And he sent Elyakim [God sets up], who [was] over the household, and Shevnah [vigour] the scribe, and the elders of the priests covered with sackcloth, unto Yesha’yahu [Yehovah has saved] the prophet the son of Amotz [strong].

³And they said unto him, Thus says Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength], This day [is] a day of trouble, and of rebuke (reprimand; strongly warn; restrain), and of blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, and [there is] not strength to bring forth.

⁴It may be the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youri God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] will hear the words of Rav-Shakeh [chief cupbearer], whom the king of Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))) his master has sent to reproach (disgrace; shame) the living God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and will reprove the words which the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youi God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] has heard: wherefore lift up [youri] prayer for the remnant that is left.

⁵So the servants of king Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength] came to Yesha’yahu [Yehovah has saved].

⁶And Yesha’yahu [Yehovah has saved] said unto them, Thus shall you2f say unto your master, Thus says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), Be not afraid of the words that youi have heard, which the servants of the king of Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))) have blasphemed me.

⁷Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a rumour, and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.

⁸So Rav-Shakeh [chief cupbearer] returned, and found the king of Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))) warring against Livnah [Pavement]: for he had heard that he was departed from Lakhish [Invincible].

⁹And he heard say concerning Tirhakah [he searched out the pious] king of Ethiopia [Kush], He is come forth to make war with youi. And when he heard [it], he sent messengers to Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength], saying,

¹⁰Thus shall you2f speak to Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], saying, Let not youri God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], in whom youi trust, deceive youi, saying, Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] shall not be given into the hand of the king of Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))).

¹¹Behold, youi have heard what the kings of Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))) have done to all lands by destroying them utterly; and shall youi be delivered?

¹²Have the gods of the nations delivered them which my fathers have destroyed, [as] Gozan [a cutting off], and Haran [mountaineer], and Retzef [a hot stone], and the children of ‘Eden [pleasure] which [were] in Tel’asar [Assyrian hill]?

¹³Where [is] the king of Hamat [Fortress], and the king of Arpad [I shall be supported], and the king of the city of S’farvayim [the two Sipparas (the city of books)], Hena [troubling], and ‘Ivah [ruin]?

¹⁴And Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength] received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength] went up unto the house of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and spread it before the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

¹⁵And Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength] prayed unto the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), saying,

¹⁶O LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], that dwell [between] the k’vurim (cherubim), youi [are] the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], [even] youi alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth: youi have made heaven and earth.

¹⁷Incline youi ear, O LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and hear; open youri eyes, O LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and see: and hear all the words of Sancheriv [Sin (the moon) multiplied brothers], which has sent to reproach (disgrace; shame) the living God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].

¹⁸Of a truth, LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), the kings of Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))) have laid waste all the nations, and their countries,

¹⁹And have cast their gods into the fire: for they [were] no gods, but the work of men’s hands, wood and stone: therefore they have destroyed them.

²⁰Now therefore, O LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) our God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that youi [are] the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), [even] youi only.

²¹Then Yesha’yahu [Yehovah has saved] the son of Amotz [strong] sent unto Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength], saying, Thus says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], Whereas youi have prayed to me against Sancheriv [Sin (the moon) multiplied brothers] king of Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))):

²²This [is] the word which the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has spoken concerning him; The virgin, the daughter of Tziyon [parched place], has despised youi, [and] laughed youi to scorn; the daughter of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] has shaken her head at youi.

²³Whom have youi reproached and blasphemed? and against whom have youi exalted [youri] voice, and lifted up youri eyes on high? [even] against the Holy One of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].

²⁴By youri servants have youi reproached the Lord-Adonai (The Father) [Greatest Above All Things], and have said, By the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of L’vanon [Whiteness]; and I will cut down the tall cedars thereof, [and] the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into the height of his border, [and] the forest of his Carmel [Garden-land].

²⁵I have excavated, and drunk water; and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of the besieged places.

²⁶Have youi not heard long ago, [how] I have done it; [and] of ancient times, that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that youi should be to lay waste fortified cities [into] ruinous heaps.

²⁷Therefore their inhabitants [were] of small power, they were dismayed and confounded: they were [as] the grass of the field, and [as] the green herb, [as] the grass on the housetops, and [as corn] blasted before it be grown up.

²⁸But I know youi abode, and youri going out, and youri coming in, and youri rage against me.

²⁹Because youri rage against me, and youri tumult, is come up into my ears, therefore will I put my hook in youri nose, and my bridle in youri lips, and I will turn youi back by the way by which youi came.

³⁰And this [shall be] a sign unto youi, You2f shall eat [this] year such as grows of itself; and the second year that which springs of the same: and in the third year sow you2f, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof.

³¹And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward:

³²For out of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Tziyon [parched place]: the zeal of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] shall do this.

³³Therefore thus says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) concerning the king of Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))), He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shields, nor cast a bank against it.

³⁴By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

³⁵For I will defend this city to save it for my own sake, and for my servant David’s [beloved]’s sake.

³⁶Then the Angel of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) went forth, and struck in the camp of the children of Ashur a hundred and eighty and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they [were] all dead corpses.

³⁷So Sancheriv [Sin (the moon) multiplied brothers] king of Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))) departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh [abode of Ninus, or Offspring’s Habitation].

³⁸And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisrokh [the great eagle] his god, that Adramelekh [honor of the king, or Adar is prince] and Shar’etzer [prince of fire] his sons struck him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat [the curse reversed] [the curse reversed: precipitation of curse]: and Esar-Hadon [Ashur has given a brother] his son reigned in his stead.

¹In those days was Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength] sick unto death. And Yesha’yahu [Yehovah has saved] the prophet the son of Amotz [strong] came unto him, and said unto him, Thus says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), Set youri house in order: for youi shall die, and not live.

²Then Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength] turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate),

³And said, Remember now, O LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), I beseech (to call upon; appeal; beg) youi, how I have walked before youi in tand with a perfect heart, and have done [that which is] good in youri sight. And Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength] wept sore.

⁴Then came the word of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) to Yesha’yahu [Yehovah has saved], saying,

⁵Go, and say to Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength], Thus says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of David [beloved] youri father, I have heard youri prayer, I have seen youri tears: behold, I will add unto youri days fifteen years.

⁶And I will deliver youi and this city out of the hand of the king of Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))): and I will defend this city.

⁷And this [shall be] a sign unto youi from the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), that the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) will do this thing that he has spoken;

⁸Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Achaz [he has grasped], ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down.

⁹The writing of Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], when he had been sick, and was recovered of his sickness:

¹⁰I said in the cutting off of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave: I am deprived of the residue (part that remains, the rest) of my years.

¹¹I said, I shall not see the LORD- [Yah] (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), [even] the LORD- [Yah] (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), in the land of the living: I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of the world.

¹²Mine age is departed, and is removed from me as a shepherd’s tent: I have cut off like a weaver my life: he will cut me off with pining sickness: from day [even] tonight will youi make an end of me.

¹³I reckoned till morning, [that], as a lion, so will he break all my bones: from day [even] tonight will youi make an end of me.

¹⁴Like a crane [or] a swallow (to approve, commend, accept), so did I chatter: I did mourn as a dove: my eyes fail [with looking] upward: O Lord-Adonai (The Father) [Greatest Above All Things] I am oppressed; undertake for me.

¹⁵What shall I say? he has both spoken unto me, and himself has done [it]: I shall go softly all my years in the bitterness of my soul.

¹⁶O Lord-Adonai (The Father) [Greatest Above All Things], by these [things men] live, and in all these [things is] the life of my spirit: so will youi recover me, and make me to live.

¹⁷Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but youi have in love to my soul [delivered it] from the pit of corruption: for youi have cast all my sins behind youri back.

¹⁸For the grave cannot praise youi, death can [not] celebrate youi: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for youri truth.

¹⁹The living, the living, he shall praise youi, as I [do] this day: the father to the children shall make known youri truth.

²⁰The LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) [was ready] to save me: therefore we will sing my songs to the stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

²¹For Yesha’yahu [Yehovah has saved] had said, Let them take a lump of figs, and lay [it] for a plaster upon the boil, and he shall recover.

²²Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength] also had said, What [is] the sign that I shall go up to the house of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate)?

¹At that time M’rodakh-Bal’adan [Marduk has given a son], the son of Bal’adan [Bel is lord], king of Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion], sent letters and a present to Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength]: for he had heard that he had been sick, and was recovered.

²And Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength] was glad of them, and showed them the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength] showed them not.

³Then came Yesha’yahu [Yehovah has saved] the prophet unto king Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength], and said unto him, What said these men? and from what place came they unto youi? And Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength] said, They are come from a far country unto me, [even] from Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion].

⁴Then said he, What have they seen in youri house? And Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength] answered, All that [is] in my house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not showed them.

⁵Then said Yesha’yahu [Yehovah has saved] to Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength], Hear the word of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies]:

⁶Behold, the days come, that all that [is] in youri house, and [that] which youri fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried to Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion]: nothing shall be left, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

⁷And of youri sons that shall issue (what comes forth) from youi, which youi shall beget (to be father of; be ancestor of), shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion].

⁸Then said Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength] to Yesha’yahu [Yehovah has saved], Good [is] the word of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) which youi have spoken. He said moreover, For there shall be peace and tin my days.

¹Comfort you2f, comfort you2f my people, says your God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].

²Speak you2f comfortably to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she has received of the LORD-Yehōvah’s [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] hand double for all her sins.

³The voice of him that cries in the wilderness, Prepare you2f the way of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), make straight in the desert a highway for our God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].

⁴Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:

⁵And the glory of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see [it] together: for the mouth of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has spoken [it].

⁶The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh [is] grass, and all the goodliness thereof [is] as the flower of the field:

⁷The grass withers, the flower fades: because the spirit of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) blows upon it: surely the people [is] grass.

⁸The grass withers, the flower fades: but the word of our God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] shall stand forever.

⁹O Tziyon [parched place], that brings good tidings, get youi up into the high mountain; O Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], that r good tidings, lift up youi voice with strength; lift [it] up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], Behold your God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]!

¹⁰Behold, the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER) will come with strong [hand], and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward [is] with him, and his work before him.

¹¹He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry [them] in his bosom, [and] shall gently lead those that are with young.

¹²Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?

¹³Who has directed the Spirit of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), or [being] his counselor has taught him?

¹⁴With whom took he counsel, and [who] instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and showed to him the way of understanding?

¹⁵Behold, the nations [are] as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he takes up the isles as a very little thing.

¹⁶And L’vanon [Whiteness] [is] not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering.

¹⁷All nations before him [are] as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity.

¹⁸To whom then will you2f liken God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]? or what likeness will you2f compare unto him?

¹⁹The workman melts a graven image, and the goldsmith spreads it over with gold, and casts silver chains.

²⁰He that [is] so impoverished that he has no oblation chooses a tree [that] will not rot; he seeks unto him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image, [that] shall not be moved.

²¹Have you2f not known? have you2f not heard? has it not been told you from the beginning? have you2f not understood from the foundations of the earth?

²²[It is] he that sits upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof [are] as grasshoppers; that stretches out the heavens as a curtain, and spreads them out as a tent to dwell in:

²³That brings the princes to nothing; he makes the of the earth as vanity.

²⁴Yes, they shall not be planted; yes, they shall not be sown: yes, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble.

²⁵To whom then will you2f liken me, or shall I be equal? says the Holy One.

²⁶Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who has created these [things], that brings out their host by number: he calls them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that [he is] strong in power; not one fails.

²⁷Why say youi, O Ya’akov [Heal of God], and speak, O Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], My way is hid from the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and my judgment is passed over from my God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]?

²⁸Have youi not known? have youi not heard, [that] Elohe Olam [The Eternal Living Word], Yehovah Borei K’tzit Ha’aretz [Messiah Pre-Incarnate the Creator of the ends of the earth], faints not, neither is weary? [there is] no searching of his understanding.

²⁹He gives power to the faint; and to [them that have] no might he increases strength.

³⁰Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:

³¹But they that wait upon the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall renew [their] strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; [and] they shall walk, and not faint.

¹Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew [their] strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment.

²Who raised up the righteous [man] from the east, called him to his foot, gave the nations before him, and made [him] rule over kings? he gave [them] as the dust to his sword, [and] as driven stubble to his bow.

³He pursued them, [and] passed safely; [even] by the way [that] he had not gone with his feet.

⁴Who has wrought and done [it], calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), the first, and with the last; I [am] he.

⁵The isles saw [it], and feared; the ends of the earth were afraid, drew near, and came.

⁶They helped everyone his neighbour; and [everyone] said to his brother, Be of good courage.

⁷So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, [and] he that smoothes [with] the hammer him that struck the anvil, saying, It [is] ready for the soldering: and he fastened it with nails, [that] it should not be moved.

⁸But youi, Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], [are] my servant, Ya’akov [Heal of God] whom I have chosen, the seed of Avraham [Exalted Father] my friend.

⁹[youi] whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called youi from the chief men thereof, and said unto youi, youi [are] my servant; I have chosen youi, and not cast youi away.

¹⁰Fear youi not; for I [am] with youi: be not dismayed; for I [am] youri God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]: I will strengthen youi; yes, I will help youi; yes, I will uphold youi with the right hand of my righteousness.

¹¹Behold, all they that were incensed against youi shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with youi shall perish.

¹²youi shall seek them, and shall not find them, [even] them that contended with youi: they that war against youi shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nothing.

¹³For I the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youi God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] will hold youri right hand, saying unto youi, Fear not; I will help youi.

¹⁴Fear not, youi worm Ya’akov [Heal of God], [and] you2f men of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]; I will help youi, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and youi redeemer, the Holy One of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].

¹⁵Behold, I will make youi a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: youi shall thresh the mountains, and beat [them] small, and shall make the hills as chaff.

¹⁶Youi shall fan (a fork-shaped tool to throw grain in the air, to let he wind separate the wheat from the chaff) them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and youi shall rejoice in the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), [and] shall glory in the Holy One of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].

¹⁷[When] the poor and needy seek water, and [there is] none, [and] their tongue fails for thirst, I the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) will hear them, I the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] will not forsake them.

¹⁸I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.

¹⁹I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the shittah tree, and the myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the desert the fir tree, [and] the pine, and the box tree together:

²⁰That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has done this, and the Holy One of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] has created it.

²¹Produce your cause, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); bring forth your strong [reasons], says the King of Ya’akov [Heal of God].

²²Let them bring [them] forth, and show us what shall happen: let them show the former things, what they [be], that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us things for to come.

²³Show the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that you2f [are] gods: yes, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold [it] together.

²⁴Behold, you2f [are] of nothing, and your work of nothing: an abomination [is he that] chooses you.

²⁵I have raised up [one] from the north, and he shall come: from the rising of the sun shall he call upon my name: and he shall come upon princes as [upon] mortar, and as the potter treads clay.

²⁶Who has declared from the beginning, that we may know? and formerly, that we may say, [He is] righteous? yes, [there is] none that shows, yes, [there is] none that declares, yes, [there is] none that hears your words.

²⁷The first [shall say] to Tziyon [parched place], Behold, behold them: and I will give to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] one that brings good tidings.

²⁸For I beheld, and [there was] no man; even among them, and [there was] no counselor, that, when I asked of them, could answer a word.

²⁹Behold, they [are] all vanity; their works [are] nothing: their molten images [are] wind and confusion.

¹Behold my servant, whom I uphold; my elect, [in whom] my soul delights; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.

²He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.

³A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.

⁴He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set justice in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.

⁵Thus says God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which comes out of it; he that gives breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk in it:

⁶I the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) have called youi in righteousness, and will hold youi hand, and will keep youi, and give youi for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;

⁷To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, [and] them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.

⁸I [am] the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): that [is] my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.

⁹Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.

¹⁰Sing unto the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) a new song, [and] his praise from the end of the earth, you2f that go down to the sea, and all that is in it; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.

¹¹Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up [their voice], the villages [that] Kedar [dark] does inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.

¹²Let them give glory unto the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and declare his praise in the islands.

¹³The LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yes, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies.

¹⁴I have long time held my peace; I have been still, [and] refrained myself: [now] will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once.

¹⁵I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools.

¹⁶And I will bring the blind by a way [that] they knew not; I will lead them in paths [that] they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.

¹⁷They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, You2f [are] our gods.

¹⁸Hear, you2f deaf; and look, you2f blind, that you2f may see.

¹⁹Who [is] blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger [that] I sent? who [is] blind as [he that is] perfect, and blind as the LORD-Yehōvah’s [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] servant?

²⁰Seeing manythings, but youi observe not; opening the ears, but he hears not.

²¹The LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) is well pleased for his righteousness’ sake; he will magnify the law, and make [it] honourable.

²²But this [is] a people robbed and spoiled; [they are] all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivers; for a spoil (plunder; prey; booty), and none says, Restore.

²³Who among you will give ear to this? [who] will hearken and hear for the time to come?

²⁴Who gave Ya’akov [Heal of God] for a spoil (plunder; prey; booty), and Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] to the robbers? did not the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient unto his law.

²⁵Therefore he has poured upon him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it has set him on fire round about, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid [it] not to heart.

¹But now thus says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) that created youi, O Ya’akov [Heal of God], and he that formed youi, O Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], Fear not: for I have redeemed youi, I have called [youi] by youri name; youi [are] mine.

²When youi pass through the waters, I [will be] with youi; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow youi: when youi walk through the fire, youi shall not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon youi.

³For I [am] the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youri God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], the Holy One of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], youi Saviour: I gave Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place] [for] youri ransom, Ethiopia [Kush] and S’va [drink you] for youi.

⁴Since youi were precious in my sight, youi have been honourable, and I have loved youi: therefore will I give men for youi, and people for youri life.

⁵Fear not: for I [am] with youi: I will bring youri seed from the east, and gather youi from the west;

⁶I 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;

⁷[Even] everyone that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yes, I have made him.

⁸Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.

⁹Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and show us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, [It is] truth.

¹⁰You2f [are] my witnesses, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and my servant whom I have chosen: that you2f may know and believe me, and understand that I [am] he: before me there was no God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] formed, neither shall there be after me.

¹¹I, [even] I, [am] the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); and beside me [there is] no saviour.

¹²I have declared, and have saved, and I have showed, when [there was] no strange [god] among you: therefore you2f [are] my witnesses, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), that I [am] God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].

¹³Yes, before the day [was] I [am] he; and [there is] none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall reverse it?

¹⁴Thus says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), your redeemer, the Holy One of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]; For your sake I have sent to Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion], and have brought down all their nobles, and the Kasdim [clod-breakers], whose cry [is] in the ships.

¹⁵I [am] the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), your Holy One, the creator of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], your King.

¹⁶Thus says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), which makes a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;

¹⁷Which brings forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tinder.

¹⁸Remember you2f not the former things, neither consider the things of old.

¹⁹Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall you2f not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, [and] rivers in the desert.

²⁰The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, [and] rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen.

²¹This people have I formed for myself; they shall show forth my praise.

²²But youi have not called upon me, O Ya’akov [Heal of God]; but youi have been weary of me, O Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].

²³youi have not brought me the small cattle of youri burnt offerings; neither have youi honoured me with youri sacrifices. I have not caused youi to serve with an offering, nor wearied youi with incense.

²⁴youi have bought me no sweet cane with money, neither have youi filled me with the fat of youri sacrifices: but youi have made me to serve with youri sins, youi have wearied me with youri iniquities.

²⁵I, [even] I, [am] he that blots out youri transgressions for my own sake, and will not remember youri sins.

²⁶Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare youi, that youi may be justified.

²⁷Your1s first father has sinned, and youri teachers have transgressed against me.

²⁸Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Ya’akov [Heal of God] to the curse, and Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] to reproaches.

¹Yet now hear, O Ya’akov [Heal of God] my servant; and Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], whom I have chosen:

²Thus says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) that made youi, and formed youi from the womb, [which] will help youi; Fear not, O Ya’akov [Heal of God], my servant; and youi, Yeshurun [upright one], whom I have chosen.

³For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon youi seed, and my blessing upon youi offspring:

⁴And they shall spring up [as] among the grass, as willows by the water courses.

⁵One shall say, I [am] the LORD-Yehōvah’s [Messiah Pre-Incarnate]; and another shall call [himself] by the name of Ya’akov [Heal of God]; and another shall subscribe [with] his hand unto the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and surname [himself] by the name of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].

⁶Thus says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) the King of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and his redeemer the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies]; I [am] the first, and I [am] the last; and beside me [there is] no God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].

⁷And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them show unto them.

⁸Fear you2f not, neither be afraid: have not I told youi from that time, and have declared [it]? you2f [are] even my witnesses. Is there a God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] beside me? yes, [there is] no God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]; I know not [any].

⁹They that make a graven image [are] all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they [are] their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed.

¹⁰Who has formed a god, or molten a graven image [that] is profitable for nothing?

¹¹Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed: and the workmen, they [are] of men: let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; [yet] they shall fear, [and] they shall be ashamed together.

¹²The smith with the tongs both works in the coals, and fashions it with hammers, and works it with the strength of his arms: yes, he is hungry, and his strength fails: he drink no water, and is faint.

¹³The carpenter stretches out [his] rule; he marks it out with a line; he fits it with planes, and he marks it out with the compass (go around, encircle; encompass), and makes it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man; that it may remain in the house.

¹⁴He hews him down cedars, and takes the cypress and the oak, which he strengthens for himself among the trees of the forest: he plants an ash, and the rain does nourish [it].

¹⁵Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take thereof, and warm himself; yes, he kindles [it], and bakes bread; yes, he makes a god, and worships [it]; he makes it a graven image, and falls down thereto.

¹⁶He burns part thereof in the fire; with part thereof he eats flesh; he roasts roast, and is satisfied: yes, he warms [himself], and says, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire:

¹⁷And the residue (part that remains, the rest) thereof he makes a god, [even] his graven image: he falls down unto it, and worships [it], and prays unto it, and says, Deliver me; for youi [are] my god.

¹⁸They have not known nor understood: for he has shut their eyes, that they cannot see; [and] their hearts, that they cannot understand.

¹⁹And none considers in his heart, neither [is there] knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yes, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh, and eaten [it]: and shall I make the residue (part that remains, the rest) thereof an abomination? shall I fall down to the stock of a tree?

²⁰He feeds on ashes: a deceived heart has turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, [Is there] not a lie in my right hand?

²¹Remember these, O Ya’akov [Heal of God] and Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]; for youi [are] my servant: I have formed youi; youi [are] my servant: O Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], youi shall not be forgotten of me.

²²I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, youri transgressions, and, as a cloud, youri sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed youi.

²³Sing, O you2f heavens; for the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has done [it]: shout, you2f lower parts of the earth: break forth into singing, you2f mountains, O forest, and every tree in it: for the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has redeemed Ya’akov [Heal of God], and glorified himself in Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].

²⁴Thus says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), youri redeemer, and he that formed youi from the womb, I [am] the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) that makes all [things]; that stretches forth the heavens alone; that spreads abroad the earth by myself;

²⁵That frustrates the tokens of the liars, and makes diviners mad; that turns wise [men] backward, and makes their knowledge foolish;

²⁶That confirms the word of his servant, and performs the counsel of his messengers; that says to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], youi shall be inhabited; and to the cities of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], You2f shall be built, and I will raise up the decayed places thereof:

²⁷That says to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up youri rivers:

²⁸That says of Koresh (Cyrus) [possess you the furnace], [He is] my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure: even saying to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], youi shall be built; and to the temple, Your1s foundation shall be laid.

¹Thus says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) to his anointed, to Koresh (Cyrus) [possess you the furnace], whose right hand I have held, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the waist of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;

²I will go before youi, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:

³And I will give youi the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that youi may know that I, the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), which call [youi] by youri name, [am] the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].

⁴For Ya’akov [Heal of God] my servant’s sake, and Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] my elect, I have even called youi by youri name: I have surnamed youi, though youi have not known me.

⁵I [am] the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and [there is] none else, [there is] no God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] beside me: I girded youi, though youi have not known me:

⁶That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that [there is] none beside me. I [am] the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and [there is] none else.

⁷I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) do all these [things].

⁸Drop down, you2f heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) have created it.

⁹Woe unto him that strives with his Maker! [Let] the potsherd (piece of broken pottery) [strive] with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashions it, What makes youi? or youi work, He has no hands?

¹⁰Woe unto him that says unto [his] father, What spawn youi? or to the woman, What have youi brought forth?

¹¹Thus says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), the Holy One of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command you2f me.

¹²I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, [even] my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.

¹³I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies].

¹⁴Thus says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), The labour of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], and merchandise of Ethiopia [Kush] and of the S’va [drunkards], men of stature, shall come over unto youi, and they shall be yoursi: they shall come after youi; in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto youi, they shall make supplication unto youi, [saying], Surely God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] [is] in youi; and [there is] none else, [there is] no God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].

¹⁵Truly youi [are] a God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] that hide yourself, O God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], the Saviour.

¹⁶They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them: they shall go to confusion together [that are] makers of idols.

¹⁷[But] Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] shall be saved in the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) with an everlasting salvation: you2f shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.

¹⁸For thus says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) that created the heavens; God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] himself that formed the earth and made it; he has established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I [am] the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); and [there is] none else.

¹⁹I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Ya’akov [Heal of God], Seek you2f me in vain: I the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.

²⁰Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, you2f [that are] escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god [that] cannot save.

²¹Tell you2f, and bring [them] near; yes, let them take counsel together: who has declared this from ancient time? [who] has told it from that time? [have] not I the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate)? and [there is] no God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] else beside me; a just God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] and a Saviour; [there is] none beside me.

²²Look unto me, and be you2f saved, all the ends of the earth: for I [am] God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and [there is] none else.

²³I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth [in] righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.

²⁴Surely, shall [one] say, in the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) have I righteousness and strength: [even] to him shall [men] come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.

²⁵In the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall all the seed of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] be justified, and shall glory.

¹Bel [lord] bows down, Nevo [Prophet] stoops, their idols were upon the beasts, and upon the cattle: your carriages [were] heavy laden; [they are] a burden to the weary [beast].

²They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity.

³Listen unto me, O house of Ya’akov [Heal of God], and all the remnant of the house of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], which are borne [by me] from the belly, which are carried from the womb:

⁴And [even] to [your] old age I [am] he; and [even] to grey hairs will I carry [you]: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver [you].

⁵To whom will you2f liken me, and make [me] equal, and compare me, that we may be like?

⁶They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, [and] hire a goldsmith; and he makes it a god: they fall down, yes, they worship.

⁷They bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him, and set him in his place, and he stands; from his place shall he not remove: yes, [one] shall cry unto him, yet can he not answer, nor save him out of his trouble.

⁸Remember this, and show yourselves men: bring [it] again to mind, O you2f transgressors.

⁹Remember the former things of old: for I [am] God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and [there is] none else; [I am] God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and [there is] none like me,

¹⁰Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times [the things] that are not [yet] done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

¹¹Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executes my counsel from a far country: yes, I have spoken [it], I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed [it], I will also do it.

¹²Listen unto me, you2f stouthearted, that [are] far from righteousness:

¹³I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not wait: and I will place salvation in Tziyon [parched place] for Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] my glory.

¹Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion], sit on the ground: [there is] no throne, O daughter of the Kasdim [clod-breakers]: for youi shall no more be called tender and delicate.

²Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover youri locks, make bore the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers.

³You1s nakedness shall be uncovered, yes, youri shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not meet [youi as] a man.

⁴[As for] our redeemer, the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] [is] his name, the Holy One of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].

⁵Sit youi silent, and get youi into darkness, O daughter of the Kasdim [clod-breakers]: for youi shall no more be called, The lady of kingdoms.

⁶I was exceedingly angry with my people, I have polluted my inheritance, and given them into youri hand: youi did show them no mercy; upon the ancient have youi very heavily laid youri yoke.

⁷And youi said, I shall be a lady forever: [so] that youi did not lay these [things] to youri heart, neither did remember the latter end of it.

⁸Therefore hear now this, [youi that are] given to pleasures, that dwell carelessly, that say in youri heart, I [am], and none else beside me; I shall not sit [as] a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:

⁹But these two [things] shall come to youi in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon youi in their perfection for the multitude of youri sorceries, [and] for the great abundance of youri enchantments.

¹⁰For youi have trusted in youri wickedness: youi have said, None sees me. Your1s wisdom and youri knowledge, it has perverted youi; and youi have said in youri heart, I [am], and none else beside me.

¹¹Therefore shall evil come upon youi; youi shall not know from what place it rises: and mischief shall fall upon youi; youi shall not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon youi suddenly, [which] youi shall not know.

¹²Stand now with youri enchantments, and with the multitude of youri sorceries, wherein youi have laboured from youi youth; if so be youi shall be able to profit, if so be youi may prevail.

¹³youi are wearied in the multitude of youri counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly Prognosticators (foretellers of the future), stand up, and save youi from [these things] that shall come upon youi.

¹⁴Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: [there shall] not [be] a coal to warm at, [nor] fire to sit before it.

¹⁵Thus shall they be unto youi with whom youi have laboured, [even] youri merchants, from youri youth: they shall wander everyone to his quarter; none shall save youi.

¹Hear you2f this, O house of Ya’akov [Heal of God], which are called by the name of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and are come forth out of the waters of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], which swear by the name of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and make mention of the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], [but] not in truth, nor in righteousness.

²For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]; The LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] [is] his name.

³I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I showed them; I did [them] suddenly, and they came to pass.

⁴Because I knew that youi [are] obstinate, and youri neck [is] an iron sinew, and youri brow brass;

⁵I have even from the beginning declared [it] to youi; before it came to pass I showed [it] youi: lest youi should say, Mine idol has done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, has commanded them.

⁶Youi have heard, see all this; and will not you2f declare [it]? I have showed youi new things from this time, even hidden things, and youi did not know them.

⁷They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when youi heard them not; lest youi should say, Behold, I knew them.

⁸Yes, youi heard not; yes, youi knew not; yes, from that time [that] youri ear was not opened: for I knew that youi would deal very treacherously, and were called a transgressor from the womb.

⁹For my name’s sake will I defer my anger, and for my praise will I refrain for youi, that I cut youi not off.

¹⁰Behold, I have refined youi, but not with silver; I have chosen youi in the furnace of affliction.

¹¹For my own sake, [even] for my own sake, will I do [it]: for how should [my name] be polluted? and I will not give my glory unto another.

¹²Listen unto me, O Ya’akov [Heal of God] and Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], my called; I [am] he; I [am] the first, I also [am] the last.

¹³Mine hand also has laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand has spanned the heavens: [when] I call unto them, they stand up together.

¹⁴All you2f, assemble yourselves, and hear; which among them has declared these [things]? The LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has loved him: he will do his pleasure on Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion], and his arm [shall be on] the Kasdim [clod-breakers].

¹⁵I, [even] I, have spoken; yes, I have called him: I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.

¹⁶Come you2f near unto me, hear you2f this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there [am] I: and now the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER), and his Spirit, has sent me.

¹⁷Thus says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), youri Redeemer, the Holy One of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]; I [am] the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youi God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] which teaches youi to profit, which leads youi by the way [that] youi should go.

¹⁸O that youi had listened to my commandments! then had youri peace been as a river, and youri righteousness as the waves of the sea:

¹⁹You1s seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of youri bowels (inward parts; affections) like the gravel thereof; his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me.

²⁰Go you2f forth of Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion], flee you2f from the Kasdim [clod-breakers], with a voice of singing declare you2f, tell this, utter it [even] to the end of the earth; say you2f, The LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has redeemed his servant Ya’akov [Heal of God].

²¹And they thirsted not [when] he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out.

²²[There is] no peace, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), unto the wicked.

¹Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, you2f people, from far; The LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has called me from the womb; from the bowels (inward parts; affections) of my mother has he made mention of my name.

²And he has made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand has he hid me, and made me a polished shaft; in his quiver has he hid me;

³And said unto me, youi [are] my servant, O Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], in whom I will be glorified.

⁴Then I said, I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for nothing, and in vain: [yet] surely my judgment [is] with the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and my work with my God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].

⁵And now, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) that formed me from the womb [to be] his servant, to bring Ya’akov [Heal of God] again to him, Though Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and my God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] shall be my strength.

⁶And he said, It is a light thing that youi should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Ya’akov [Heal of God], and to restore the preserved of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]: I will also give youi for a light to the Gentiles, that youi may be my salvation unto the end of the earth.

⁷Thus says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), the Redeemer of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], [and] his Holy One, to him whom man despises, to him whom the nation abhors, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) that is faithful, [and] the Holy One of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and he shall choose youi.

⁸Thus says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), In an acceptable time have I heard youi, and in a day of salvation have I helped youi: and I will preserve youi, and give youi for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages;

⁹That youi may say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that [are] in darkness, Show yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures [shall be] in all high places.

¹⁰They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun strike them: for he that has mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall he guide them.

¹¹And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted.

¹²Behold, these shall come from far: and, lo, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim [thorns].

¹³Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted.

¹⁴But Tziyon [parched place] said, The LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has forsaken me, and my Lord has forgotten me.

¹⁵Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yes, they may forget, yet will I not forget youi.

¹⁶Behold, I have graven youi upon the palms of [my] hands; youri walls [are] continually before me.

¹⁷Your1s children shall make haste; youri destroyers and they that made youi waste shall go forth of youi.

¹⁸Lift up youri eyes round about, and behold: all these gather themselves together, [and] come to youi. [As] I live, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), youi shall surely clothe youi with them all, as with an ornament, and bind them [on youi], as a bride [does].

¹⁹For youri waste and youri desolate places, and the land of youri destruction, shall even now be too narrow by reason of the inhabitants, and they that swallow (to approve, commend, accept)ed youi up shall be far away.

²⁰The children which youi shall have, after youi have lost the other, shall say again in youri ears, The place [is] too strait for me: give place to me that I may dwell.

²¹Then shall youi say in youri heart, Who has begotten me these, seeing I have lost my children, and am desolate, a captive, and removing to and fro? and who has brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where [had] they [been]?

²²Thus says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER), Behold, I will lift up my hand to the Gentiles, and set up my Flag (banner) to the people: and they shall bring youri sons in [their] arms, and youri daughters shall be carried upon [their] shoulders.

²³And kings shall be youri nursing fathers, and their queens youri nursing mothers: they shall bow down to youi with [their] face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of youri feet; and youi shall know that I [am] the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me.

²⁴Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered?

²⁵But thus says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contends with youi, and I will save youi children.

²⁶And I will feed them that oppress youi with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I [am] Yehovah Moshiekh v’Goalekh [Yeshua (he is Salvation) Pre-Incarnate Your Messiah and Redeemer], the Mighty One [Avir Ya’akov] of Jacob [Heal of God].

¹Thus says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), Where [is] the bill of your mother’s divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors [is it] to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have you2f sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away.

²For what reason, 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 (reprimand; strongly warn; restrain) I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinks, because [there is] no water, and dies for thirst.

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

⁴The Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER) has given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to [him that is] weary: he wakens morning by morning, he wakens my ear to hear as the learned.

⁵The Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER) has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back.

⁶I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.

⁷For the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER) will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.

⁸[He is] near that justifies me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who [is] my adversary? let him come near to me.

⁹Behold, the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER) will help me; who [is] he [that] shall condemn me? lo, they all shall grow (become; advance) old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.

¹⁰Who [is] among you that fears the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), that obeys the voice of his servant, that walks [in] darkness, and has no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and stay upon his God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].

¹¹Behold, all you2f that kindle a fire, that compass (go around, encircle; encompass) [yourselves] about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks [that] you2f have kindled. This shall you2f have of my hand; you2f shall lie down in sorrow.

¹Listen to me, you2f that follow after righteousness, you2f that seek the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): look unto the rock [from what place] you2f are cut, and to the hole of the pit [from what place] you2f are excavated.

²Look unto Avraham [Exalted Father] your father, and unto Serach [The Prince Breathed] [that] bore you: for I called him alone, and Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) him, and increased him.

³For the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall comfort Tziyon [parched place]: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like ‘Eden [pleasure], and her desert like the Garden of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); joy and gladness shall be found in it, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.

⁴Listen unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a Torah shall proceed from me, and I will calm them with my justice for a light of the people.

⁵My righteousness [is] near; my salvation is gone forth, and my arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on my arm shall they trust.

⁶Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall grow (become; advance) old like a garment, and they that dwell in it shall die in like manner: but my Salvation shall be forever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.

⁷Listen unto me, you2f that know righteousness, the people in whose heart [is] my law; fear you2f not the reproach (disgrace; shame) of men, neither be you2f afraid of their revilings.

⁸For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be forever, and my salvation from generation to generation.

⁹Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. [Are] youi not it that has cut Rachav [Wide], [and] wounded the dragon?

¹⁰[Are] youi not it which has dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that has made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over?

¹¹Therefore the redeemed of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall return, and come with singing unto Tziyon [parched place]; and everlasting joy [shall be] upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; [and] sorrow and mourning shall flee away.

¹²I, [even] I, [am] he that comforts you: who [are] youi, that youi should be afraid of a man [that] shall die, and of the Son of man [which] shall be made [as] grass;

¹³And forgets the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youri maker, that has stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and have 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?

¹⁴The captive exile hastens that he may be loosed, and that he should not die in the pit, nor that his bread should fail.

¹⁵But I [am] the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youri God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], that divided the sea, whose waves roared: The LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] [is] his name.

¹⁶And I have put my words in youri mouth, and I have covered youi in the shadow of my hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Tziyon [parched place], youi [are] my people.

¹⁷Awake, awake, stand up, O Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], which have drunk at the hand of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) the cup of his fury; youi have drunken the dregs (grounds at the bottom of a cup) of the cup of trembling, [and] wrung [them] out.

¹⁸[There is] none to guide her among all the sons [whom] she has brought forth; neither [is there any] that takes her by the hand of all the sons [that] she has brought up.

¹⁹These two [things] are come unto youi; who shall be sorry for youi? desolation, and destruction, and the famine, and the sword: by whom shall I comfort youi?

²⁰Your1s sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as a wild bull in a net: they are full of the fury of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), the rebuke (reprimand; strongly warn; restrain) of youi God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].

²¹Therefore hear now this, youi afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:

²²Thus says youri Lord (Adon) [Lord of the earth] the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and youri God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] [that] pleads the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of youri hand the cup of trembling, [even] the dregs (grounds at the bottom of a cup) of the cup of my fury; youi shall no more drink it again:

²³But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict youi; which have said to youri soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and youi have laid youri body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over.

¹Awake, awake; put on youri strength, O Tziyon [parched place]; put on youri beautiful garments, O Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], the holy city: for from this time forth (from now on) there shall no more come into youi the uncircumcised and the unclean.

²Shake yourself from the dust; arise, [and] sit down, O Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]: loose yourself from the bands of youri neck, O captive daughter of Tziyon [parched place].

³For thus says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), You2f have sold yourselves for nothing; and you2f shall be redeemed without money.

⁴For thus says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER), My people went down aforetime into Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place] to sojourn there; and the Ashur (Assyrian) oppressed them without cause.

⁵Now therefore, what have I here, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), that my people is taken away for nothing? they that rule over them make them to howl, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); and my name continually every day [is] blasphemed.

⁶Therefore my people shall know my Name: therefore [they shall know] in that day that I [am] he that does speak: behold, [it is] I.

⁷How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that brings good tidings, that proclaims peace; that brings good tidings of good, that proclaims Salvation; that says unto Tziyon [parched place], Your1s God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] reigns!

⁸Your1s watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) (Behold the Pierced Hand) shall bring again Tziyon [parched place].

⁹Break forth into joy, sing together, you2f waste places of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]: for the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) (Worship the Pierced Hand) has comforted his people, he has redeemed Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace].

¹⁰The LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) (Worship the Pierced Hand) has made bore his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].

¹¹Depart you2f, depart you2f, go you2f out from there, touch no unclean [thing]; go you2f out of the midst of her; be you2f clean, that bear the vessels of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) (Worship the Pierced Hand).

¹²For you2f shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) (Worship the Pierced Hand) will go before you; and the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] [will be] your rearguard.

¹³Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.

¹⁴Just as many were astonished at youi; his face was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:

¹⁵So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for [that] which had not been told them shall they see; and [that] which they had not heard shall they consider.

¹Who has believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) revealed?

²For he shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he has no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, [there is] no beauty that we should desire him.

³He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were [our] faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

⁴Surely he has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and afflicted.

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

⁶All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

⁷He 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 silent, so he opens not his mouth.

⁸He 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.

⁹And 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.

¹⁰Yet it pleased the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) to bruise him; he has put [him] to grief: when youi shall make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see [his] seed, he shall prolong [his] days, and the pleasure of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall prosper in his hand.

¹¹He shall see of the travail of his soul, [and] shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.

¹²Therefore will I divide him [a portion] with the great, and he shall divide the spoil (plunder; prey; booty) with the strong; because he has poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bares the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

¹Sing, O barren, youi [that] did not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, youi [that] did not travail with child: for more [are] the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

²Enlarge the place of youri tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of youri habitations: spare not, lengthen youri cords, and strengthen youri stakes;

³For youi shall break forth on the right hand and on the left; and youri seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.

⁴Fear not; for youi shall not be ashamed: neither be youi confounded; for youi shall not be put to shame: for youi shall forget the shame of youri youth, and shall not remember the reproach (disgrace; shame) of youri widowhood any more.

⁵For youri Maker [is] youri husband; the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] [is] his name; and youri Redeemer the Holy One of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]; The God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of the whole earth shall he be called.

⁶For the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has called youi as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when youi were refused, says youri God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].

⁷For a small moment have I forsaken youi; but with great mercies will I gather youi.

⁸In a little wrath I hid my face from youi for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on youi, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youri Redeemer.

⁹For this [is as] the waters of No’ah [Motion] unto me: for [as] I have sworn that the Waters of Noach [rest] should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be exceedingly angry with youi, nor rebuke (reprimand; strongly warn; restrain) youi.

¹⁰For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from youi, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) that has mercy on youi.

¹¹O youi afflicted, tossed with tempest, [and] not comforted, behold, I will lay youri stones with fair colours, and lay youri foundations with sapphires.

¹²And I will make youri windows of agates, and youri gates of carbuncles, and all youri borders of pleasant stones.

¹³And all youri children [shall be] taught of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); and great [shall be] the peace of youri children.

¹⁴In righteousness shall youi be established: youi shall be far from oppression; for youi shall not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near youi.

¹⁵Behold, they shall surely gather together, [but] not by me: whosoever shall gather together against youi shall fall for youri sake.

¹⁶Behold, I have created the smith that blows the coals in the fire, and that brings forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.

¹⁷No weapon that is formed against youi shall prosper; and every tongue [that] shall rise against youi in judgment youi shall condemn. This [is] the heritage of the servants of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and their righteousness [is] of me, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

¹Ho, everyone that thirsts, come you2f to the waters, and he that has no money; come you2f, buy, and eat; yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

²For what reason do you2f spend money for [that which is] not bread? and your labour for [that which] satisfies not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat you2f [that which is] good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

³Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, [even] the sure mercies of David [beloved].

⁴Behold, I have given him [for] a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people.

⁵Behold, youi shall call a nation [that] youi know not, and nations [that] knew not youi shall run unto youi because of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youri God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and for the Holy One of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]; for he has glorified youi.

⁶Seek you2f the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) while he may be found, call you2f upon him while he is near:

⁷Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], for he will abundantly pardon.

⁸For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

⁹For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

¹⁰For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and returns not there, but waters the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:

¹¹So shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper [in the thing] whereto I sent it.

¹²For you2f shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap [their] hands.

¹³Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) for a name, for an everlasting sign [that] shall not be cut off.

¹Thus says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), Keep you2f judgment, and do justice: for my salvation [is] near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.

²Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) [is] the man [that] does this, and the Son of man [that] lays hold on it; that keeps the Shabbat [Rest] from polluting it, and keeps his hand from doing any evil.

³Neither let the son of the stranger, that has joined himself to the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), speak, saying, The LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I [am] a dry tree.

⁴For thus says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) unto the eunuchs that keep my Shabbat, and choose [the things] that please me, and take hold of my covenant;

⁵Even unto them will I give in my 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.

⁶Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), to be his servants, everyone that keeps the Shabbat [Rest] from polluting it, and takes hold of my covenant;

⁷Even 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 my altar; for my house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.

⁸The Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER) which gathers the outcasts of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] says, Yet will I gather [others] to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.

⁹All you2f beasts of the field, come to devour, [yes], all you2f beasts in the forest.

¹⁰His watchmen [are] blind: they are all ignorant, they [are] all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.

¹¹Yes, [they are] greedy dogs [which] can never have enough, and they [are] shepherds [that] cannot understand: they all look to their own way, everyone for his gain, from his quarter.

¹²Come you2f, [say they], I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and tomorrow shall be as this day, [and] much more abundant.

¹The righteous perishes, and no man lays [it] to heart: and merciful men [are] taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil [to come].

²He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, [each one] walking [in] his uprightness.

³But draw near here, you2f sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the whore.

⁴Against whom do you2f sport yourselves? against whom make you2f a wide mouth, [and] draw out the tongue? [are] you2f not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood,

⁵Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clefts of the rocks?

⁶Among the smooth [stones] of the stream [is] youri portion; they, they [are] youri lot: even to them have youri poured a drink offering, youi have offered a meat offering. Should I receive comfort in these?

⁷Upon a lofty and high mountain have youi set youri bed: even there went youi up to offer sacrifice.

⁸Behind the doors also and the posts have youi set up youri remembrance: for youi have uncovered [yourself to another] than me, and are gone up; youi have enlarged youi bed, and made youi [a covenant] with them; youi loved their bed where youi saw [it].

⁹And youi went to the king with ointment, and did increase youi perfumes, and did send youri messengers far off, and did debase [yourself even] unto hell.

¹⁰youi are wearied in the greatness of youri way; [yet] said youi not, There is no hope: youi have found renewed life; therefore youi were not grieved.

¹¹And of whom have youi been afraid or feared, that youi have lied, and have not remembered me, nor laid [it] to youri heart? have not I held my peace even of old, and youi fear me not?

¹²I will declare youri righteousness, and youri works; for they shall not profit youi.

¹³When youi cries, let youri companies deliver youi; but the wind shall carry them all away; vanity shall take [them]: but he that puts his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain;

¹⁴And shall say, Cast you2f up, cast you2f up, prepare the way, take up the stumblingblock out of the way of my people.

¹⁵For thus says the high and lofty One that inhabits eternity, whose name [is] Holy; I dwell in the high and holy [place], with him also [that is] of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

¹⁶For I will not contend forever, neither will I be always exceedingly angry: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls [which] I have made.

¹⁷For the iniquity of his covetousness was I exceedingly angry, and struck him: I hid me, and was exceedingly angry, and he went on obstinately in the way of his heart.

¹⁸I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.

¹⁹I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to [him that is] far off, and to [him that is] near, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); and I will heal him.

²⁰But the wicked [are] like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.

²¹[There is] no peace, says my God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], to the wicked.

¹Cry aloud, spare not, lift up youri voice like a trumpet, and show my people their transgression, and the house of Ya’akov [Heal of God] their sins.

²Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].

³For what reason have we fasted, [say they], and youi see not? [wherefore] have we afflicted our soul, and youi take no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast you2f find pleasure, and exact all your labours.

⁴Behold, you2f fast for strife and debate, and to strike with the fist of wickedness: you2f shall not fast as [you2f do this] day, to make your voice to be heard on high.

⁵Is 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 (tall plant near water, such as papyrus), and to spread sackcloth and ashes [under him]? will youi call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate)?

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 you2f break every yoke?

⁷[Is it] not to deal youri bread to the hungry, and that youi bring the poor that are cast out to youri house? when youi see the naked, that youi cover him; and that youi hide not yourself from youri own flesh?

⁸Then shall youri light break forth as the morning, and youri health shall spring forth speedily: and youri righteousness shall go before youi; the glory of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall be youri rear guard.

⁹Then shall youi call, and the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall answer; youi shall cry, and he shall say, Here I [am]. If youi take away from the midst of youi the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;

¹⁰And [if] youi draw out youri soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall youri light rise in obscurity, and youri darkness [be] as the noonday:

¹¹And the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall guide youi continually, and satisfy youri soul in drought, and make fat youri bones: and youi shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.

¹²And [they that shall be] of youi shall build the old waste places: youi shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and youi shall be called, The repairer of the breach (breaking forth; a break; opening, inlet), The restorer of paths to dwell in.

¹³If youi turn away youri foot from the Shabbat [Rest], [from] doing youri pleasure on my holy day; and call the Shabbat [Rest] a delight, the holy of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), honourable; and shall honour him, not doing youri own ways, nor finding youri own pleasure, nor speaking [youri own] words:

¹⁴Then shall youi delight yourself in the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); and I will cause youi to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed youi with the heritage of Ya’akov [Heal of God] youri father: for the mouth of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has spoken [it].

¹Behold, the LORD-Yehōvah’s [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:

²But your iniquities have separated between you and your God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and your sins have hid [his] face from you, that he will not hear.

³For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue has muttered perverseness.

⁴None calls for justice, nor [any] pleads for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.

⁵They hatch Cockatrice (venomous snake)’ eggs, and weave the spider’s web: he that eats of their eggs dies, and that which is crushed breaks out into a viper.

⁶Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works [are] works of iniquity, and the act of violence [is] in their hands.

⁷Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts [are] thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction [are] in their paths.

⁸The way of peace they know not; and [there is] no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goes in it shall not know peace.

⁹Therefore is judgment far from us, neither does justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, [but] we walk in darkness.

¹⁰We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if [we had] no eyes: we stumble at noonday as in the night; [we are] in desolate places as dead [men].

¹¹We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but [there is] none; for salvation, [but] it is far off from us.

¹²For our transgressions are multiplied before youi, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions [are] with us; and [as for] our iniquities, we know them;

¹³In transgressing and lying against the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and departing away from our God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.

¹⁴And judgment is turned away backward, and justice stands afar off: for tis fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.

¹⁵Yes, tfails; and he [that] departs from evil makes himself a prey: and the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) saw [it], and it displeased him that [there was] no judgment.

¹⁶And he saw that [there was] no man, and wondered that [there was] no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him.

¹⁷For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance [for] clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak.

¹⁸According to [their] deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompense to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompense.

¹⁹So shall they fear the name of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall lift up a Flag (banner) against him.

²⁰And the Redeemer shall come to Tziyon [parched place], and unto them that turn from transgression in Ya’akov [Heal of God], says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

²¹As for me, this [is] my covenant with them, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); My spirit that [is] upon youi, and my words which I have put in youri mouth, shall not depart out of youri mouth, nor out of the mouth of youri seed, nor out of the mouth of youri seed’s seed, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), from from this time forth (from now on) and forever.

¹Arise, shine; for youri light is come, and the glory of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) is risen upon youi.

²For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall arise upon youi, and his glory shall be seen upon youi.

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

⁴Lift up youi eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to youi: youri sons shall come from far, and youri daughters shall be nursed at [youri] side.

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

⁶The multitude of camels shall cover youi, the dromedaries of Midyan [Strife] and Ephah (about 6/10 bushel; a backet holding that amount); all they from Sheva [Seven] shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall show forth the praises of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

⁷All the flocks of Kedar [dark] shall be gathered together unto youi, the rams of N’vayot [heights] shall minister unto youi: they shall come up with acceptance on my altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory.

⁸Who [are] these [that] fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?

⁹Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish [yellow jasper] first, to bring youri sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youri God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and to the Holy One of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], because he has glorified youi.

¹⁰And the sons of strangers shall build up youri walls, and their kings shall minister unto youi: for in my wrath I struck youi, but in my favour have I had mercy on youi.

¹¹Therefore youri gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that [men] may bring unto youi the forces of the Gentiles, and [that] their kings [may be] brought.

¹²For the nation and kingdom that will not serve youi shall perish; yes, [those] nations shall be utterly wasted.

¹³The glory of L’vanon [Whiteness] shall come unto youi, the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious.

¹⁴The sons also of them that afflicted youi shall come bending unto youi; and all they that despised youi shall bow themselves down at the soles of youri feet; and they shall call youi, The city of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), The Tziyon [parched place] of the Holy One of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].

¹⁵Whereas youi have been forsaken and hated, so that no man went through [youi], I will make youi an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations.

¹⁶Youi shall also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shall suck the breast of kings: and youi shall know that I am Yehovah Moshiekh v’Goalekh [Yeshua (he is Salvation) Pre-Incarnate, Your Messiah and Redeemer], the Avir Ya’akov [The Mighty One of The Heal of God].

¹⁷For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron: I will also make youi officers peace, and youi Overseers (tribute or tax collectors) righteousness.

¹⁸Violence shall no more be heard in youri land, wasting nor destruction within youi borders; but youi shall call youri walls Salvation, and youri gates Praise.

¹⁹The sun shall be no more youri light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto youi: but the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall be unto youi an everlasting light, and youri God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] youri glory.

²⁰Your1s sun shall no more go down; neither shall youri moon withdraw itself: for the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall be youri everlasting light, and the days of youri mourning shall be ended.

²¹Your1s people also [shall be] all righteous: they shall inherit the land forever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.

²²A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) will hasten it in his time.

¹The Spirit of the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER) [is] upon me; because the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to [them that are] bound;

²To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and the day of vengeance of our God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]; to comfort all that mourn;

³To appoint unto them that mourn in Tziyon [parched place], 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-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), that he might be glorified.

⁴And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.

⁵And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien [shall be] your plowmen and your vinedressers.

⁶But you2f shall be named the Priests of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): [men] shall call you the Ministers of our God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]: you2f shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall you2f boast yourselves.

⁷For your shame [you2f shall have] double; and [for] confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.

⁸For I the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) 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.

⁹And 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-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous).

¹⁰I will greatly rejoice in the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), my soul shall be joyful in my God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]; for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation, he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks [himself] with ornaments, and as a bride r [herself] with her jewels.

¹¹For as the earth brings forth her bud, and as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER) will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

¹For Tziyon [parched place]’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Yerushalayim’s [Foundation of Peace] sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp [that] burns.

²And the Gentiles shall see youi righteousness, and all kings youi glory: and youi shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall name.

³Youi shall also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and a royal Diadem (royal headband worn by Eastern kings) in the hand of youri God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].

⁴Youi shall no more be termed ‘Azuvah [Forsaken]; neither shall youri land any more be termed Sh’mamah [Desolate]: but youi shall be called Heftzibah [my delight is in her], and youri land Be’ulah [married]: for the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) delights in youi, and youri land shall be married.

⁵For [as] a young man marries a virgin, [so] shall youi sons marry youi: and [as] the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, [so] shall youri God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] rejoice over youi.

⁶I have set watchmen upon youri walls, O Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], [which] shall never hold their peace day nor night: you2f that make mention of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), keep not silence,

⁷And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] a praise in the earth.

⁸The LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give youri corn [to be] meat for youri enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink youri wine, for the which youi have laboured:

⁹But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.

¹⁰Go through, go through the gates; prepare you2f the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a Flag (banner) for the people.

¹¹Behold, the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say you2f to the daughter of Tziyon [parched place], Behold, youri Salvation comes; behold, his reward [is] with him, and his work before him.

¹²And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): and youi shall be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.

¹Who [is] this that comes from Edom [Red], with dyed garments from Botzrah [sheepfold or fortress]? this [that is] glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in Righteousness, Mighty to save.

²For what reason [are youi] red in youri apparel, and youri garments like him that treads in the winepress?

³I have trampled the winepress alone; and of the people [there was] none with me: for I will trample them in my anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my clothing.

⁴For the day of vengeance [is] in my heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.

⁵And I looked, and [there was] none to help; and I wondered that [there was] none to uphold: therefore my own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.

⁶And I will trample down the people in my anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth.

⁷I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), [and] the praises of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), according to all that the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], which he has bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.

⁸For he said, Surely they [are] my people, children [that] will not lie: so he was their Saviour.

⁹In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bore them, and carried them all the days of old.

¹⁰But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, [and] he fought against them.

¹¹Then he remembered the days of old, Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters], [and] his people, [saying], Where [is] he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where [is] he that put his holy Spirit within him?

¹²That led [them] by the right hand of Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] with his glorious arm, dividing the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name?

¹³That led them through the deep, as an horse in the wilderness, [that] they should not stumble?

¹⁴As a beast goes down into the valley, the Spirit of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) caused him to rest: so did youi lead youi people, to make yourself a glorious name.

¹⁵Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of youi holiness and of youri glory: where [is] youri zeal and youri strength, the sounding of youri bowels (inward parts; affections) and of youri mercies toward me? are they restrained?

¹⁶Doubtless youi [are] our father, though Avraham [Exalted Father] be ignorant of us, and Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] acknowledge us not: youi, O LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), [are] our father, our redeemer; youri name [is] from everlasting.

¹⁷O LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), why have youi made us to err from youri ways, [and] hardened our heart from youri fear? Return for youri servants’ sake, the tribes of youri inheritance.

¹⁸The people of youri holiness have possessed [it] but a little while: our adversaries have trampled down youri sanctuary.

¹⁹We are [yoursi]: youi never barest rule over them; they were not called by youri name.

¹Oh that youi would rend (tear apart; forcefully rip apart) the heavens, that youi would come down, that the mountains might flow down at youri presence!

²As [when] the melting fire burns, the fire causes the waters to boil, to make youi name known to youri adversaries, [that] the nations may tremble at youri presence!

³When youi did terrible things [which] we looked not for, youi came down, the mountains flowed down at youri presence.

⁴For since the beginning of the world [men] have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither has the eye seen, O God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], beside youi, [what] he has prepared for him that waits for him.

⁵Youi meet him that rejoices and works righteousness, [those that] remember youi in youri ways: behold, youi are exceedingly angry; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved.

⁶But we are all as an unclean [thing], and all our righteousnesses [are] as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

⁷And [there is] none that calls upon youri name, that stirs up himself to take hold of youi: for youi have hid youri face from us, and have consumed us, because of our iniquities.

⁸But now, O LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), youi [are] our father; we [are] the clay, and youi our potter; and we all [are] the work of youri hand.

⁹Be not exceedingly angry very sore, O LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), neither remember iniquity forever: behold, see, we beseech (to call upon; appeal; beg) youi, we [are] all youi people.

¹⁰Your1s holy cities are a wilderness, Tziyon [parched place] is a wilderness, Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] a desolation.

¹¹Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised youi, is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste.

¹²Will youi refrain yourself for these [things], O LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate)? will youi hold youri peace, and afflict us very sore?

¹I am sought of [them that] asked not [for me]; I am found of [them that] sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation [that] was not called by my name.

²I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walks in a way [that was] not good, after their own thoughts;

³A people that provokes me to anger continually to my face; that sacrifices in gardens, and burns incense upon altars of brick;

⁴Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine’s flesh, and broth of abominable [things is in] their vessels;

⁵Which say, Stand by yourself, come not near to me; for I am holier than youi. These [are] a smoke in my nose, a fire that burns all the day.

⁶Behold, [it is] written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom,

⁷Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), which have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I measure their former work into their bosom.

⁸Thus says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), As the New Wine is found in the cluster, and [one] says, Destroy it not; for a blessing [is] in it: so will I do for my servants’ sakes, that I may not destroy them all.

⁹And I will bring forth a seed out of Ya’akov [Heal of God], and out of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] an inheritor of my mountains: and my elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there.

¹⁰And Sharon [a plain] shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Akhor [Trouble] a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me.

¹¹But you2f [are] they that forsake the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for that troop, and that furnish the drink offering unto that number.

¹²Therefore will I number you to the sword, and you2f shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, you2f did not answer; when I spoke, you2f did not hear; but did evil before my eyes, and did choose [that] wherein I delighted not.

¹³Therefore thus says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER), Behold, my servants shall eat, but you2f shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink, but you2f shall be thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but you2f shall be ashamed:

¹⁴Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but you2f shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for anguish of spirit.

¹⁵And you2f shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER) shall slay youi, and call his servants by another name:

¹⁶That he who blesses himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of truth; and he that swears in the earth shall swear by the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from my eyes.

¹⁷For, behold, I am creating [am about to create] a new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

¹⁸But be you2f glad and rejoice forever [in that] which I create: for, behold, I create Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] a rejoicing, and her people a joy.

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

²⁰There shall be no more there an infant of days, nor an old man that has not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner [being] an hundred years old shall be accursed.

²¹And they shall build houses, and inhabit [them]; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.

²²They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree [are] the days of my people, and my elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.

²³They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they [are] the seed of the Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and their offspring with them.

²⁴And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

²⁵The 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, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

¹Thus says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), The heaven [is] my throne, and the earth [is] my footstool: where [is] the house that you2f build unto me? and where [is] the place of my rest?

²For all those [things] has my hand made, and all those [things] have been, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): but to this [man] will I look, [even] to [him that is] poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembles at my word.

³He that kills an ox [is as if] he killed a man; he that sacrifices a lamb, [as if] he cut off a dog’s neck; he that offers an oblation, [as if he offered] swine’s blood; he that burns incense, [as if] he Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) an idol. Yes, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations.

⁴I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spoke, they did not hear: but they did evil before my eyes, and chose [that] in which I delighted not.

⁵Hear the word of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), you2f that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name’s sake, said, Let the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.

⁶A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) that renders recompense to his enemies.

⁷Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.

⁸Who has heard such a thing? who has 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 Tziyon [parched place] travailed, she brought forth her children.

⁹Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): shall I cause to bring forth, and shut [the womb]? says youri God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].

¹⁰Rejoice you2f with Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], and be glad with her, all you2f that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all you2f that mourn for her:

¹¹That you2f may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that you2f may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.

¹²For thus says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall you2f suck, you2f shall be borne upon [her] sides, and be dandled upon [her] knees.

¹³As one whom his mother comforts, so will I comfort you; and you2f shall be comforted in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace].

¹⁴And when you2f see [this], your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall be known toward his servants, and [his] indignation toward his enemies.

¹⁵For, behold, the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke (reprimand; strongly warn; restrain) with flames of fire.

¹⁶For by fire and by his sword will the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall be many.

¹⁷They that sanctify (make holy; set apart for God’s use) themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one [tree] in the midst, eating swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

¹⁸For I [know] their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.

¹⁹And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations, [to] Tarshish [yellow jasper], Pul [distinguishing], and Lud [strife], that draw the bow, [to] Tuval [you shall be brought], and Yavan (Greece) [Ionia], [to] the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.

²⁰And they shall bring all your brethren [for] an offering unto the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), as the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

²¹And I will also take of them for priests [and] for Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to], says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

²²For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), so shall your seed and your name remain.

²³And it shall come to pass, [that] from one new moon to another, and from one Shabbat [Rest] to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

²⁴And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.
