Isaias

Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth; it shall not return unto me void, unless it have accomplished that which I please, and made to prosper thatfor which I sent it.

12 For ye shall go forth with joy, and be led in peace; the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you [into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap the hand.

[*](6. ‘while he may be,’ lit. ‘in his being found.’)[*](7 fin. ‘will be abundant in pardoning.’)[*](10. ‘unless it have...’: or, ‘without watering...and making...’ (and so ver. 11).)
286

13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree; and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.

LVI. 1 Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and. do righteousness 3 for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.

2 Happy is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that boldeth fast by it; that keepeth the sabbath, not to profane it, and keepeth his hand, not to do any evil.

3 And let not the alien, that hath joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD will surely separate me from his people; and let not the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.

4 For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and hold fast by my covenant:

5 I Will even give unto them in my house and within my walls a memorial and a name better than sons and daughters; I will give him an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.

6 And the aliens, that have joined themselves to the LORD, to minister unto him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath, not to profane it, and boldeth fast by my covenant :

7 Them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt offerings and their sacrifices (shall be) acceptable upon mine altar; for mine house ’ shall be called a house of prayer for all the peoples.

8 Saith the Lord GOD which gathereth the outcasts of Israel, Yet I gather (more) unto him, to his gathered ones.
