Isaias

Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

7 Before she travailed, she brought forth; before pain came to her, she was delivered of a man child.

8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall a land be travailed with in one day? shall a nation be born at once? for Zion travailed, she also brought forth her sons.

9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD; shall I, that cause to bring forth, shut up (the womb)? saith thy God.

10 Be ye glad with Jerusalem, and exult in her, all ye that love her: rejoice with her, all that mourn with her.

11 That ye may suck, and be satisfied from the breast of her consolations: that ye may milk out, and delight yourselves from the fulness of her glory.

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.

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.
