Isaias

Hebrew Bible

Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

8 Then shall thy light break forth as the dawn, and thy healing shall spring up speedily; and thy righteousness shall go before thee, the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward.

9 Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou remove from the midst of thee the yoke, the pointing of the finger, and speaking iniquity:

10 And furnish thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul ; then shall thy light arise in the darkness, and thy gloom be as the noonday:

11 And the LORD shall lead thee perpetually, and satisfy thy soul in dry places, and make strong thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, ahd like a spring of water whose waters fail not.

12 And they that are of thee shall build up ruins of old time: thou shalt raise up the foundations of generation upon generation; and thou shalt be called Repairer of the breach, Restorer of paths to dwell in.

[*](10. ‘furnish thy soul,' i.e. ‘thy desire.' ‘then,’ Heb. ‘and,’ marking principal clause. ‘arise,’ or, ‘be bright': ‘noonday,’ plur. in)[*](11. ‘in dry places’: or, ‘in droughts.' Some render, ‘enrich’ or ‘make fat thy bones.' ‘fail’: or, ‘deceive (i.e. disappoint) not.)[*](12. ‘they that are of thee': some propose to emend, 'thy sons': but this (which resembles wordfor build up) seems needless.)
296

13 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, as to doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy (day) of the LORD honourable; and honour it, not doing thine own ways, not finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking words:

14 Then shalt thou have thy delight in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the heights of the earth, and to eat the heritage of Jacob thy father; for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

LIX. 1 Behold, the ’S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save ; neither his ear grown heavy, that it cannot hear:

2 But your iniquities have been separating between you and your God, and your sins have hidden the Face from you, that he hear not.
