Isaias

Hebrew Bible

Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

3 While thou didst terrible things (which) we hoped not for; that thou hadst come down, the mountains had quaked at thy presence!

4 And from old they have not heard, have not perceived by the ear, eye hath not seen a God beside thee, who will work for him that waiteth for him.

[*](14. Ancient versions c. ‘the Spirit...led him’ (slight difference of)[*](15 fin. Lit. ‘have restrained themselves.')[*](18. Doubtful, but no other translation seems preferable.)[*](1. Or, ‘that thou wouldest rend,' c.: and so in ver.)[*](2. ‘(that) nations should...' or, ‘nations shall tremble...)[*](4. Or, ‘eye hath not seen, beside thee, Ο God, what he will do for him,' c.)
316

5 Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness in thy ways they will remember thee; behold, thou wast wroth, and we sinned; in them (have we been) long time, and shall we be saved?

6 And we are all become as one unclean, and all our righteousnesses as a polluted garment; and we are all withered as the leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, will take us away.

7 And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that rouseth himself to hold fast by thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and melted us by the hand of our iniquities.
