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. in11. ‘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.

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.

7 Their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed innocent blood; their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity, wasting and destruction are in their highways.

13. ‘as to..' is perhaps equivalent to ‘from doing': cf. lvi. 2, c., and second part of this verse.1. Lit. ‘shortened from saving': some render, ‘too short to save' similarly the second clause.4. ‘sueth’ : or, ‘proclaimeth’: ‘in (or, with)6. Or, ‘neither shall any’ (indef.) cover themselves,' c

8 The way of peace they know not, and there is no judgment in their tracks; they have made them their paths crooked; whosoever goeth therein knoweth not peace.

9 Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth righteousness overtake us; we wait for light, and behold darkness; for brightness,—we walk in

10 We grope along the wall like blind men, and we grope as men without eyes; we have stumbled at noonday as in the dusk; among the vigorous as the dead.

11 We all groan like bears, and moan piteously like doves; we wait for judgment, and there is none; for salvation, it is far off from us.

12 For our rebellions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us; for our rebellions are with us, and our iniquities, we know them:

13 Rebelling and denying the LORD, and drawing back from following our God: speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.

14 And judgment is driven backward, and righteousness standeth afar off; for truth hath stumbled in the broad place, and uprightness cannot enter.
