Isaias

Hebrew Bible

Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as afalling breach, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometb suddenly, in a moment.

[*](4. Or, ‘ When his princes shall be at Z..' c)[*](7. Lit. ‘ in vain and emptily will they help.')[*](8. ‘ before them ’: or, ‘among (lit. with) them.)[*](9. ‘lying,’ or, ‘ renegade sons,' cf. lix. 13.)[*](11. ‘ cease': word means ‘ to sit still,' as ver. 7.)

178

14 And he shall break it as a ’s jar is broken, shivering it unsparingly; and there shall not be found a sherd among the shivered fragments thereof, to take fire. from the hearth, or to draw water from a cistern.

15 For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel: In returning and rest shall ye be saved: in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength; and ye were unwilling.

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