Isaias

Hebrew Bible

Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

3 Strengthen ye the slack hands, and confirm the stumbling, knees.

4 Say to the hasty of heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God, vengeance cometh, retribution of God; himself cometh, and will save you.

5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped:

6 Then shall the lame man leap as a hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing; for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.

7 And the burning sand shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water; in the habitation of jackals, their lair, a court for reed and rush.

8 And a highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called the holy way; there shall not pass over it (any) unclean; and his for them; and whosoever walketh in the way, and fools, shall not go astray.

9 No lion shall be there, nor shall the (most) violent of beasts go up thereon; it shall not be found there; and redeemed ones shall walk (there),

10 And the ransomed of the Lord shall return and come to Zion with song, and everlasting joy upon their head 3 they shall attain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

XXXVI. 1 And it came to pass, in the fourteenth year of the king Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them.
