Isaias

Hebrew Bible

Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

2 And he also is wise; and bringeth evil, and removeth not his words; and he riseth up against the house of evil doers, and against the help of them that work naughtiness.

3 And the Egyptians are men, and not God: and their horses flesh, and not spirit: and the Lord shall stretch out his hand, and he that helpeth shall stumble, and he that is holpen shall fall, and they all shall come to an end together.

4 For thus said the LORD unto me, As the lion growleth, and the young lion over his prey, against whom a multitude of ’ shepherds is called forth: at their voice he is not affrighted, and at their uproar he is not dismayed; so shall the LORD of Hosts come down to fight against mount Zion, and against the hill thereof.

5 As birds hovering, so will the LORD of Hosts protect Jeru- salem; protecting and rescuing, passing over, and setting free.
