Isaias
Hebrew Bible
Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904
3 Let thy nakedness be uncovered, yea, let thy shame be seen; I will take vengeance, and I will not meet man.
4 Our redeemer, the LORD of Hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.
5 Sit in silence, and go into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldaeans; for thou shalt no more be (one) they call lady of kingdoms.
6 I was wroth with my people, I profaned mine inheritance, and gave them into thy hand; thou didst shew them no mercy; upon the aged thou didst make thy yoke exceeding heavy.
7 And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: until thou didst not lay these things to thine heart, thou didst not remember the latter end of it.
8 And now hear this, thou given to pleasure, that sittest securely, that sayest in thine heart, I and none else beside: I shall not sit a widow. neither shall I know bereavement.
9 And these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, bereavement, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in full measure, for the multitude of thy ’orceries, for the exceeding number of thy spells.
10 And thou hast been secure in thine evil: thou hast said, There is none that seeth me; thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath turned thee aside; and thou hast said in thine heart, I, and none else beside.
