Isaias

Hebrew Bible

Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

21 To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the crevices of the crags, from before the fear of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to terrify the earth.

22 Cease ye from man, in whose nostrils is a breath; for wherein is he to be accounted of ?

[*](19. ‘when he ariseth,’ lit. ‘at his arising’ (so 21).)

III. 1 For behold, the Lord, the LORD of Hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water,

2 Mighty man, and man of war, judge, and prophet, and diviner, and elder,

3 Captain of fifty, and him that is high of face, and counsellor, and cunning artificer, and skilled enchanter,

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

5 And the people shall oppress one another, each against another, and each against his neighbour; the child shall be insolent against the ancient, and the vile against the honourable.

6 When a man shall take hold of his brother in) the house of his father: Thou hast clothing, thou shalt be our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand:

7 In that day shall he lift up (his voice) saying, I will not be a binder up: for in my house is neither bread nor clothing; ye shall not make me a ruler of the people.
