Isaias
Hebrew Bible
Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904
8 The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man is ceased; he hath broken the covenant, despised cities, not man.
9 The earth mourneth, languisheth; Lebanon is ashamed, withereth; Sharon becometh like a desert; and Bashan and Carmel shake off (their leaves).
10 Now will I rise, saith the LORD; now will I exalt myself; now will I lift up myself.
11 Ye shall conceive hay, ye shall bring forth stubble; your breath is fire which shall devour you.
12 And peoples shall become burnings of lime; thorns cut up, they shall burn in the fire.
13 Hear, ye that are far, what I have done; and ye that are near, acknowledge my might.
14 The sinners are afraid in Zion; trembling hath seized the impious. Who among us can sojourn with deVOuring fire? who among us can sojourn with everlasting burnings?
15 He that walketh in righteousness, and speaketh upright- ness; that rejecteth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from taking hold on a bribe, that stoppeth his ear from hearing of bloodshed, and closeth his eyes from seeing evil:
16 He shall inhabit heights, fortresses of rocks (are) his high place; his bread is given him, his water is sure.
