Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

21 That make a man offend by a word, and lay a snare for him that convinceth in the gate; and turn aside the righteous with emptiness.

22 Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the house of Jacob, he that redeemed Abraham 3 Not now shall Jacob be ashamed, neither shall his face now be pale.

23 For when he seeth his children, the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they shall count my name holy, and countholy the Holy One of Jacob, and fear the God of Israel.

24 And they that err in spirit shall learn discernment, and they that murmur shall receive instruction.

XXX. 1 Ah, the rebellious sons, saith the LORD, that take counsel, and not of me ; and weave a web, and not with my spirit, that they may add sin to sin

2 That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the stronghold of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt.

3 Therefore shall the stronghold of. Pharaoh be to yOu a shame, I and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
