Isaias
Hebrew Bible
Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904
10 And Sharon shall become a home for flocks, and the valley of Achor a resting place for oxen, for my people that have inquired of me.
11 And as for you, that forsake the LORD, that forget my holy mountain, that set in order a table for Fortune, that fill up a mingled draught for Destiny:
12 I will (even) destine you for the sword, and ye shall all crouch down to the slaughter; because I called, and ye did not answer; I spake, and ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I took not pleasure.
13 Therefore, thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, my servants shall eat, and ye shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink, and ye shall be thirsty; behold, my servants shall rejoice, and ye shall be ashamed:
14 Behold, my servants shall sing for happiness of heart, and ye shall cry out for pain of heart, and shall howl for breaking of spirit.
15 And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen and the Lord GOD shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name;
16 So that he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself by the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the first distresses are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes.
17 For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the first things shall not be remembered, nor come up into the heart.
