 <\/p>\n

IN THE YEAR THAT KING UZZIAH DIED<\/strong><\/p>\n

I SAW ALSO<\/strong><\/p>\n

THE LORD<\/strong><\/p>\n

SITTING UPON A THRONE,<\/strong><\/p>\n

HIGH AND LIFTED UP,<\/strong><\/p>\n

AND HIS TRAIN FILLED THE TEMPLE.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Above it stood the seraphims:<\/p>\n

each one had six wings;<\/p>\n

with twain he covered his face,<\/p>\n

and with twain he covered his feet,<\/p>\n

and with twain he did fly.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And one cried unto another,<\/p>\n

and said,<\/p>\n

Holy, holy, holy,<\/p>\n

is the LORD of hosts:<\/p>\n

the whole earth is full of his glory.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And the posts of the door moved<\/p>\n

at the voice of him that cried,<\/p>\n

and the house was filled with smoke.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then said I,<\/p>\n

Woe is me!<\/p>\n

for I am undone;<\/p>\n

because I am a man of unclean lips,<\/p>\n

and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips:<\/p>\n

for mine eyes have seen the King,<\/p>\n

the LORD of hosts.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then flew one of the seraphims unto me,<\/p>\n

having a live coal in his hand,<\/p>\n

which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And he laid it upon my mouth,<\/p>\n

and said,<\/p>\n

Lo,<\/p>\n

this hath touched thy lips;<\/p>\n

and thine iniquity is taken away,<\/p>\n

and thy sin purged.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Also I heard the voice of the Lord,<\/p>\n

saying,<\/p>\n

Whom shall I send,<\/p>\n

and who will go for us?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then said I,<\/p>\n

Here am I;<\/p>\n

send me.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And he said,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Go,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

and tell this people,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Hear ye indeed,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

but understand not;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

and see ye indeed,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

but perceive not.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Make the heart of this people fat,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

and make their ears heavy,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

and shut their eyes;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

lest they see with their eyes,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

and hear with their ears,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

and understand with their heart,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

and convert,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

and be healed.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then said I,<\/p>\n

Lord, how long?<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And he answered,<\/p>\n

Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant,<\/p>\n

and the houses without man,<\/p>\n

and the land be utterly desolate,<\/p>\n

And the LORD have removed men far away,<\/p>\n

and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But yet in it shall be a tenth,<\/p>\n

and it shall return,<\/p>\n

and shall be eaten:<\/p>\n

as a teil tree,<\/p>\n

and as an oak,<\/p>\n

whose substance is in them,<\/p>\n

when they cast their leaves:<\/p>\n

so the holy seed shall be<\/em> the substance thereof.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

AND IT CAME TO PASS IN THE DAYS OF AHAZ<\/p>\n

the son of Jotham,<\/p>\n

the son of Uzziah,<\/p>\n

king of Judah,<\/p>\n

that Rezin the king of Syria,<\/p>\n

and Pekah the son of Remaliah,<\/p>\n

king of Israel,<\/p>\n

went up toward Jerusalem to war against it,<\/p>\n

but could not prevail against it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And it was told the house of David,<\/p>\n

saying,<\/p>\n

Syria is confederate with Ephraim.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And his heart was moved,<\/p>\n

and the heart of his people,<\/p>\n

as the trees of the wood are moved with the wind.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then said the LORD unto Isaiah,<\/p>\n

Go forth now to meet Ahaz,<\/p>\n

thou,<\/p>\n

and Shearjashub thy son,<\/p>\n

at the end of the conduit of the upper pool<\/p>\n

in the highway of the fuller’s field;<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And say unto him,<\/p>\n

Take heed,<\/p>\n

and be quiet;<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

fear not,<\/p>\n

neither be fainthearted<\/p>\n

for the two tails of these smoking firebrands,<\/p>\n

for the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria,<\/p>\n

and of the son of Remaliah.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Because Syria,<\/p>\n

Ephraim,<\/p>\n

and the son of Remaliah,<\/p>\n

have taken evil counsel against thee,<\/p>\n

saying,<\/p>\n

Let us go up against Judah,<\/p>\n

and vex it,<\/p>\n

and let us make a breach therein for us,<\/p>\n

and set a king in the midst of it,<\/p>\n

even the son of Tabeal:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD,<\/p>\n

It shall not stand,<\/p>\n

neither shall it come to pass.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For the head of Syria is Damascus,<\/p>\n

and the head of Damascus is Rezin;<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

and within threescore and five years<\/p>\n

shall Ephraim be broken,<\/p>\n

that it be not a people.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And the head of Ephraim is Samaria,<\/p>\n

and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If ye will not believe,<\/p>\n

surely ye shall not be established.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

MOREOVER THE LORD SPAKE AGAIN<\/p>\n

UNTO AHAZ,<\/p>\n

saying,<\/p>\n

Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God;<\/p>\n

ask it either in the depth,<\/p>\n

or in the height above.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But Ahaz said,<\/p>\n

I will not ask,<\/p>\n

neither will I tempt the LORD.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And he said,<\/p>\n

Hear ye now,<\/p>\n

O house of David;<\/p>\n

Is it a small thing for you to weary men,<\/p>\n

but will ye weary my God also?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Behold,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

a virgin shall conceive,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

and bear a son,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

and shall call his name Immanuel.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Butter and honey shall he eat,<\/p>\n

that he may know to refuse the evil,<\/p>\n

and choose the good.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For before the child shall know<\/p>\n

to refuse the evil,<\/p>\n

and choose the good,<\/p>\n

the land that thou abhorrest<\/p>\n

shall be forsaken of both her kings.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The LORD shall bring upon thee,<\/p>\n

and upon thy people,<\/p>\n

and upon thy father’s house,<\/p>\n

days that have not come,<\/p>\n

from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah;<\/p>\n

even the king of Assyria.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS IN THAT DAY,<\/p>\n

that the LORD shall hiss for the fly<\/p>\n

that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt,<\/p>\n

and for the bee<\/p>\n

that is in the land of Assyria.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And they shall come,<\/p>\n

and shall rest all of them<\/p>\n

in the desolate valleys,<\/p>\n

and in the holes of the rocks,<\/p>\n

and upon all thorns,<\/p>\n

and upon all bushes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the same day shall the Lord shave<\/p>\n

with a razor that is hired,<\/p>\n

namely,<\/p>\n

by them beyond the river,<\/p>\n

by the king of Assyria,<\/p>\n

the head,<\/p>\n

and the hair of the feet:<\/p>\n

and it shall also consume the beard.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS IN THAT DAY,<\/p>\n

that a man shall nourish a young cow,<\/p>\n

and two sheep;<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And it shall come to pass,<\/p>\n

for the abundance of milk<\/p>\n

that they shall give he shall eat butter:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

for butter and honey<\/p>\n

shall every one eat that is left in the land.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS IN THAT DAY,<\/p>\n

that every place shall be,<\/p>\n

where there were a thousand vines<\/p>\n

at a thousand silverlings,<\/p>\n

it shall even be for briers and thorns.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With arrows and with bows shall men come thither;<\/p>\n

because all the land shall become briers and thorns.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And on all hills that shall be digged with the mattock,<\/p>\n

there shall not come thither<\/p>\n

the fear of briers and thorns:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen,<\/p>\n

and for the treading of lesser cattle.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

MOREOVER THE LORD SAID UNTO ME,<\/p>\n

Take thee a great roll,<\/p>\n

and write in it with a man’s pen<\/p>\n

concerning Mahershalalhashbaz.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And I took unto me faithful witnesses to record,<\/p>\n

Uriah the priest,<\/p>\n

and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And I went unto the prophetess;<\/p>\n

and she conceived,<\/p>\n

and bare a son.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

THEN SAID THE LORD TO ME,<\/p>\n

Call his name Mahershalalhashbaz.<\/p>\n

For before the child shall have knowledge to cry,<\/p>\n

My father,<\/p>\n

and my mother,<\/p>\n

the riches of Damascus<\/p>\n

and the spoil of Samaria<\/p>\n

shall be taken away before the king of Assyria.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

THE LORD SPAKE ALSO UNTO ME AGAIN,<\/p>\n

saying,<\/p>\n

Forasmuch as this people refuseth<\/p>\n

the waters of Shiloah<\/p>\n

that go softly,<\/p>\n

and rejoice in Rezin<\/p>\n

and Remaliah’s son;<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now therefore,<\/p>\n

behold,<\/p>\n

the Lord bringeth up upon them<\/p>\n

the waters of the river,<\/p>\n

strong and many,<\/p>\n

even the king of Assyria,<\/p>\n

and all his glory:<\/p>\n

and he shall come up over all his channels,<\/p>\n

and go over all his banks:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And he shall pass through Judah;<\/p>\n

he shall overflow and go over,<\/p>\n

he shall reach even to the neck;<\/p>\n

and the stretching out of his wings<\/p>\n

shall fill the breadth of thy land,<\/p>\n

O Immanuel<\/em>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Associate yourselves,<\/p>\n

O ye people,<\/p>\n

and ye shall be broken in pieces;<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

and give ear,<\/p>\n

all ye of far countries:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

gird yourselves,<\/p>\n

and ye shall be broken in pieces;<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

gird yourselves,<\/p>\n

and ye shall be broken in pieces.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Take counsel together,<\/p>\n

and it shall come to nought;<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

speak the word,<\/p>\n

and it shall not stand:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

for God is with us.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

FOR THE LORD SPAKE THUS TO ME<\/p>\n

WITH A STRONG HAND,<\/p>\n

and instructed me that I should not walk<\/p>\n

in the way of this people,<\/p>\n

saying,<\/p>\n

Say ye not,<\/p>\n

A confederacy,<\/p>\n

to all them to whom this people shall say,<\/p>\n

A confederacy;<\/p>\n

neither fear ye their fear,<\/p>\n

nor be afraid.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself;<\/p>\n

and let him be your fear,<\/p>\n

and let him be your dread.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And he shall be for a sanctuary;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

but for a stone of stumbling<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

and for a rock of offence<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

to both the houses of Israel,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

for a gin<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

and for a snare<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And many among them shall stumble,<\/p>\n

and fall,<\/p>\n

and be broken,<\/p>\n

and be snared,<\/p>\n

and be taken.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bind up the testimony,<\/p>\n

seal the law among my disciples.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And I will wait upon the LORD,<\/p>\n

that hideth his face from the house of Jacob,<\/p>\n

and I will look for him.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Behold,<\/p>\n

I and the children whom the LORD hath given me<\/p>\n

are for signs and for wonders<\/p>\n

in Israel from the LORD of hosts,<\/p>\n

which dwelleth in mount Zion.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And when they shall say unto you,<\/p>\n

Seek unto them that have familiar spirits,<\/p>\n

and unto wizards that peep,<\/p>\n

and that mutter:<\/p>\n

should not a people seek unto their God?<\/p>\n

for the living to the dead?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To the law and to the testimony:<\/p>\n

if they speak not according to this word,<\/p>\n

it is because there is no light in them.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And they shall pass through it,<\/p>\n

hardly bestead and hungry:<\/p>\n

and it shall come to pass,<\/p>\n

that when they shall be hungry,<\/p>\n

they shall fret themselves,<\/p>\n

and curse their king and their God,<\/p>\n

and look upward.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And they shall look unto the earth;<\/p>\n

and behold trouble and darkness,<\/p>\n

dimness of anguish;<\/p>\n

and they shall be driven to darkness.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nevertheless the dimness<\/p>\n

shall not be such as was in her vexation,<\/p>\n

when at the first he lightly afflicted<\/p>\n

the land of Zebulun<\/p>\n

and the land of Naphtali,<\/p>\n

and afterward did more grievously afflict her<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

by the way of the sea,<\/p>\n

beyond Jordan,<\/p>\n

in Galilee of the nations.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The people that walked in darkness<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

have seen a great light:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

upon them hath the light shined.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thou hast multiplied the nation,<\/p>\n

and not increased the joy:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

they joy before thee<\/p>\n

according to the joy in harvest,<\/p>\n

and as men rejoice<\/p>\n

when they divide the spoil.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden,<\/p>\n

and the staff of his shoulder,<\/p>\n

the rod of his oppressor,<\/p>\n

as in the day of Midian.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise,<\/p>\n

and garments rolled in blood;<\/p>\n

but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire<\/em>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For unto us a child is born,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

unto us a son is given:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

and the government shall be upon his shoulder:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

and his name shall be called<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Wonderful,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Counsellor,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The mighty God,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The everlasting Father,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The Prince of Peace.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Of the increase of his government<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

and peace<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

there shall be no end,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

upon the throne of David,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

and upon his kingdom,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

to order it,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

and to establish it with judgment<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

and with justice<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

from henceforth even for ever.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

THE LORD SENT A WORD INTO JACOB,<\/p>\n

AND IT HATH LIGHTED UPON ISRAEL.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And all the people shall know,<\/p>\n

even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria,<\/p>\n

that say in the pride and stoutness of heart,<\/p>\n

The bricks are fallen down,<\/p>\n

but we will build with hewn stones:<\/p>\n

the sycomores are cut down,<\/p>\n

but we will change them into cedars.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Therefore the LORD shall set up<\/p>\n

the adversaries of Rezin against him,<\/p>\n

and join his enemies together;<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Syrians before,<\/p>\n

and the Philistines behind;<\/p>\n

and they shall devour Israel with open mouth.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For all this his anger is not turned away,<\/p>\n

but his hand is stretched out still.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them,<\/p>\n

neither do they seek the LORD of hosts.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel<\/p>\n

head and tail,<\/p>\n

branch and rush,<\/p>\n

in one day.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The ancient and honourable,<\/p>\n

he is the head;<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

and the prophet that teacheth lies,<\/p>\n

he is the tail.<\/p>\n

For the leaders of this people cause them to err;<\/em><\/p>\n

and they that are led of them are destroyed.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Therefore the Lord shall have no joy<\/p>\n

in their young men,<\/p>\n

neither shall have mercy<\/p>\n

on their fatherless and widows:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

for every one is an hypocrite<\/p>\n

and an evildoer,<\/p>\n

and every mouth speaketh folly.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For all this his anger is not turned away,<\/p>\n

but his hand is stretched out still.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For wickedness burneth as the fire:<\/p>\n

it shall devour the briers and thorns,<\/p>\n

and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest,<\/p>\n

and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts<\/p>\n

is the land darkened,<\/em><\/p>\n

and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire<\/em>:<\/p>\n

no man shall spare his brother.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And he shall snatch on the right hand,<\/p>\n

and be hungry;<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

and he shall eat on the left hand,<\/p>\n

and they shall not be satisfied:<\/p>\n

they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm<\/em>:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Manasseh,<\/p>\n

Ephraim;<\/p>\n

and Ephraim,<\/p>\n

Manasseh:<\/p>\n

and they together shall be against Judah.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For all this his anger is not turned away,<\/p>\n

but his hand is stretched out still.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

WOE UNTO THEM THAT DECREE<\/p>\n

UNRIGHTEOUS DECREES,<\/p>\n

and that write grievousness<\/p>\n

which they have prescribed;<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To turn aside the needy from judgment,<\/p>\n

and to take away the right from the poor of my people,<\/p>\n

that widows may be their prey,<\/p>\n

and that they may rob the fatherless!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And what will ye do in the day of visitation,<\/p>\n

and in the desolation which shall come from far?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

to whom will ye flee for help?<\/p>\n

and where will ye leave your glory?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners,<\/p>\n

and they shall fall under the slain.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For all this his anger is not turned away,<\/p>\n

but his hand is stretched out still.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

O Assyrian,<\/p>\n

the rod of mine anger,<\/p>\n

and the staff in their hand is mine indignation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I will send him against an hypocritical nation,<\/p>\n

and against the people of my wrath<\/p>\n

will I give him a charge,<\/p>\n

to take the spoil,<\/p>\n

and to take the prey,<\/p>\n

and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Howbeit he meaneth not so,<\/p>\n

neither doth his heart think so;<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

but it is in his heart to destroy<\/p>\n

and cut off nations not a few.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For he saith,<\/p>\n

Are not my princes altogether kings?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Is not Calno as Carchemish?<\/p>\n

is not Hamath as Arpad?<\/p>\n

is not Samaria as Damascus?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols,<\/p>\n

and whose graven images did excel them<\/p>\n

of Jerusalem and of Samaria;<\/p>\n

Shall I not,<\/p>\n

as I have done unto Samaria and her idols,<\/p>\n

so do to Jerusalem and her idols?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

WHEREFORE IT SHALL COME TO PASS,<\/p>\n

that when the Lord<\/p>\n

hath performed his whole work<\/p>\n

upon mount Zion<\/p>\n

and on Jerusalem,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I will punish the fruit of the stout heart<\/p>\n

of the king of Assyria,<\/p>\n

and the glory of his high looks.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For he saith,<\/p>\n

By the strength of my hand I have done it,<\/p>\n

and by my wisdom;<\/p>\n

for I am prudent:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

and I have removed the bounds of the people,<\/p>\n

and have robbed their treasures,<\/p>\n

and I have put down the inhabitants<\/p>\n

like a valiant man:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And my hand hath found<\/p>\n

as a nest the riches of the people:<\/p>\n

and as one gathereth eggs that are left<\/p>\n

have I gathered all the earth;<\/p>\n

and there was none that moved the wing,<\/p>\n

or opened the mouth,<\/p>\n

or peeped.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Shall the axe boast itself<\/p>\n

against him that heweth therewith?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

or shall the saw magnify itself<\/p>\n

against him that shaketh it?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

as if the rod should shake itself<\/p>\n

against them that lift it up,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

or as if the staff should lift up itself,<\/p>\n

as if it were no wood.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

THEREFORE SHALL THE LORD,<\/p>\n

THE LORD OF HOSTS,<\/p>\n

SEND AMONG HIS FAT ONES LEANNESS;<\/p>\n

and under his glory he shall kindle a burning<\/p>\n

like the burning of a fire.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And the light of Israel shall be for a fire,<\/p>\n

and his Holy One for a flame:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

and it shall burn<\/p>\n

and devour his thorns<\/p>\n

and his briers<\/p>\n

in one day;<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And shall consume the glory of his forest,<\/p>\n

and of his fruitful field,<\/p>\n

both soul and body:<\/p>\n

and they shall be as when a standardbearer fainteth.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few,<\/p>\n

that a child may write them.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS IN THAT DAY,<\/p>\n

that the remnant of Israel,<\/p>\n

and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob,<\/p>\n

shall no more again stay upon him that smote them;<\/p>\n

but shall stay upon the LORD,<\/p>\n

the Holy One of Israel,<\/p>\n

in truth.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The remnant shall return,<\/em><\/p>\n

even the remnant of Jacob<\/em>,<\/p>\n

unto the mighty God.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea,<\/p>\n

yet a remnant of them shall return<\/em>:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

the consumption decreed<\/p>\n

shall overflow with righteousness.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For the Lord GOD of hosts shall make a consumption,<\/p>\n

even determined,<\/p>\n

in the midst of all the land.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

THEREFORE THUS SAITH THE LORD<\/p>\n

GOD OF HOSTS,<\/p>\n

O my people that dwellest in Zion,<\/p>\n

be not afraid of the Assyrian:<\/p>\n

he shall smite thee with a rod,<\/p>\n

and shall lift up his staff against thee,<\/p>\n

after the manner of Egypt.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For yet a very little while,<\/p>\n

and the indignation shall cease,<\/p>\n

and mine anger in their destruction.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And the LORD of hosts<\/p>\n

shall stir up a scourge for him<\/p>\n

according to the slaughter of Midian<\/p>\n

at the rock of Oreb:<\/p>\n

and as his rod was upon the sea,<\/p>\n

so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS IN THAT DAY,<\/p>\n

that his burden shall be taken away<\/p>\n

from off thy shoulder,<\/p>\n

and his yoke from off thy neck,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

and the yoke shall be destroyed<\/p>\n

because of the anointing<\/em>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He is come to Aiath,<\/p>\n

he is passed to Migron;<\/p>\n

at Michmash he hath laid up his carriages:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

They are gone over the passage:<\/p>\n

they have taken up their lodging at Geba;<\/p>\n

Ramah is afraid;<\/p>\n

Gibeah of Saul is fled.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lift up thy voice,<\/p>\n

O daughter of Gallim:<\/p>\n

cause it to be heard unto Laish,<\/p>\n

O poor Anathoth.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Madmenah is removed;<\/p>\n

the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As yet shall he remain at Nob that day:<\/p>\n

he shall shake his hand<\/p>\n

against the mount of the daughter of Zion,<\/p>\n

the hill of Jerusalem.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BEHOLD, THE LORD,<\/p>\n

THE LORD OF HOSTS,<\/p>\n

SHALL LOP THE BOUGH WITH TERROR:<\/p>\n

and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down,<\/p>\n

and the haughty shall be humbled.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And he shall cut down the thickets<\/p>\n

of the forest with iron,<\/p>\n

and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And there shall come forth a rod<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

out of the stem of Jesse,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

the spirit of wisdom and understanding,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

the spirit of counsel and might,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

the spirit of knowledge<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

and of the fear of the LORD;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And shall make him of quick understanding<\/p>\n

in the fear of the LORD:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes,<\/p>\n

neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But with righteousness shall he judge the poor,<\/p>\n

and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth,<\/em><\/p>\n

and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins,<\/p>\n

and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb,<\/em><\/p>\n

and the leopard shall lie down with the kid<\/em>;<\/p>\n

and the calf<\/p>\n

and the young lion<\/p>\n

and the fatling<\/p>\n

together;<\/p>\n

and a little child shall lead them.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And the cow and the bear shall feed;<\/p>\n

their young ones shall lie down together:<\/p>\n

and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp,<\/p>\n

and the weaned child shall put his hand<\/p>\n

on the cockatrice’ den.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

They shall not hurt nor destroy<\/p>\n

in all my holy mountain:<\/p>\n

for the earth<\/p>\n

shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD,<\/p>\n

as the waters cover the sea.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

AND IN THAT DAY<\/p>\n

THERE SHALL BE A ROOT OF JESSE,<\/p>\n

WHICH SHALL STAND<\/p>\n

FOR AN ENSIGN OF THE PEOPLE;<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

to it shall the Gentiles seek:<\/em><\/p>\n

and his rest shall be glorious<\/em>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS IN THAT DAY,<\/p>\n

that the Lord shall set his hand again<\/em><\/p>\n

the second time<\/em><\/p>\n

to recover the remnant of his people<\/em>,<\/p>\n

which shall be left,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

from Assyria,<\/p>\n

and from Egypt,<\/p>\n

and from Pathros,<\/p>\n

and from Cush,<\/p>\n

and from Elam,<\/p>\n

and from Shinar,<\/p>\n

and from Hamath,<\/p>\n

and from the islands of the sea.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He shall set up an ensign for the nations,<\/em><\/p>\n

and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel,<\/em><\/p>\n

and gather together the dispersed of Judah<\/em><\/p>\n

from the four corners of the earth.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The envy also of Ephraim shall depart,<\/p>\n

and the adversaries of Judah<\/p>\n

shall be cut off:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ephraim shall not envy Judah,<\/p>\n

and Judah shall not vex Ephraim.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But they shall fly<\/p>\n

upon the shoulders of the Philistines<\/p>\n

toward the west;<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

they shall spoil them of the east together:<\/p>\n

they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab;<\/p>\n

and the children of Ammon shall obey them.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And the LORD shall utterly destroy<\/p>\n

the tongue of the Egyptian sea;<\/p>\n

and with his mighty wind<\/p>\n

shall he shake his hand over the river,<\/p>\n

and shall smite it in the seven streams,<\/p>\n

and make men go over dryshod.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And there shall be an highway<\/p>\n

for the remnant of his people,<\/p>\n

which shall be left,<\/p>\n

from Assyria;<\/p>\n

like as it was to Israel<\/p>\n

in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

AND IN THAT DAY THOU SHALT SAY,<\/p>\n

O LORD, I will praise thee:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

though thou wast angry with me,<\/p>\n

thine anger is turned away,<\/p>\n

and thou comfortedst me.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BEHOLD,<\/p>\n

GOD IS MY SALVATION;<\/p>\n

I will trust,<\/p>\n

and not be afraid:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength<\/p>\n

and my song;<\/p>\n

he also is become my salvation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Therefore with joy shall ye draw water<\/p>\n

out of the wells of salvation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

AND IN THAT DAY SHALL YE SAY,<\/p>\n

Praise the LORD,<\/p>\n

call upon his name,<\/p>\n

declare his doings among the people,<\/p>\n

make mention that his name is exalted.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SING UNTO THE LORD;<\/p>\n

for he hath done excellent things:<\/p>\n

this is known in all the earth.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cry out and shout,<\/p>\n

thou inhabitant of Zion:<\/p>\n

for great is the Holy One of Israel<\/p>\n

in the midst of thee.<\/p>\n
