Isaias

Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

12 For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I extend to her peace like a river, and the glory of nations like an flowing stream: and ye shall suck; ye shall be borne upon the side, be fondled upon the knees.

13 As a man whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you: and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.

14 And ye shall see this, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall shoot up like the young grass; and the hand of the LORD shall make itself known toward his servants, and he shall be indignant toward his enemies.

[*](5. According to Heb. accents: ‘your brethren say, they that hate you,..., For my name's sake the LORD shall be glorified.)[*](8, Or, ‘Shall the earth be made to travail in one day ?)[*](11. 'fulness,’ doubtful word: possibly parallel to ‘breast.’)[*](14. ‘and he shall be indignant...' or, ‘and his indignation toward’ c)

15 For behold, the LORD shall come in fire, and his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.

16 For with fire will the LORD enter into judgment, and with his sword with all flesh; and the smitten of the LORD shall be many.

17 They that hallow themselves, and purify themselves for the gardens behind one in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall come to an end together, saith the LORD.

18 And I . . . . . . their works and their thoughts: it cometh, to gather all nations and tongues: and they shall come, and see my glory.

19 And I will set a sign among them, and I will send the escaped of them unto the nations, Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, Tubal and Javan, the isles afar off, that have not heard my message, neither have seen my glory; and they shall tell my glory among the nations.

20 And they shall bring all your brethren out of all nations, a (meal) offering unto the LORD, upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon dromedaries, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the LORD, as the children of Israel bring the (meal) offering in a clean vessel to the house of the LORD.

21 And also of them will I take for the priests, for the Levites, saith the LORD.

22 For as the. new heavens and the new earth, which I make, stand before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name stand.

[*](17. ‘one,’ masc. (meaning a leader, hierophant ?) Heb. text. Heb. marg. has ‘one,’ fem. (i.e. an image? or tree); some emend slightly, to read, for ‘behind’ ‘one after another.’)[*](18 init. Heb. has no verb in this clause: perhaps ‘I know’ or ‘I will punish’ should be supplied. ‘it,’ i.e. the time cometh.)[*](19. ‘message,’ lit. hearing: perhaps, ‘the report of me.)[*](21. Many MSS. and versions read ‘for the priests and for the Levites.)

23 And it shall be, from new moon to new moon, and from sabbath to sabbath, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.
