Isaias

Hebrew Bible

Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

15 He that walketh in righteousness, and speaketh upright- ness; that rejecteth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from taking hold on a bribe, that stoppeth his ear from hearing of bloodshed, and closeth his eyes from seeing evil:

[*](5. ‘exalted’: or, ‘secure’ (which sense at any rate underlies the word).)[*](7. ‘their valiant ’: doubtful. and the vowel-points must be altered to give this sense. Heb. text. as printed, suggests some form of a verb. Some render ‘the ’: i.e. ‘lions of ’ cf. xxix. 1)[*](15. ‘bloodshed,’ lit. ‘bloods.)

16 He shall inhabit heights, fortresses of rocks (are) his high place; his bread is given him, his water is sure.

17 Thine eyes shall see a king in his beauty; they shall behold a land of distances.

18 Thine heart shall meditate on terror. Where is he that counted? Where he that weighed? where he that counted the towers?
