Isaias

Hebrew Bible

Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

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.

3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken falsehood, your tongue will mutter wickedness.

4 There is none that sueth in righteousness, and none that pleadeth in truth; they trust in emptiness, and speak vanity; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.

5 They hatch ’s eggs, and weave spider's webs; he that eateth of their eggs shall die, and that which is crushed, it hatcheth out into an adder.

6 Their webs shall not serve for a garment, neither shall they cover themselves with their works; their works are works of iniquity, and the practice of violence is in their hands.
