Isaias

Hebrew Bible

Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath; for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wear out like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die as in like manner; but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be dismayed.

7 Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, ’a people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of (weak) men, and be ye not dismayed at their revilings.

[*](11. ‘gird yourselves with...’: Pesh. has ‘set a light to’: followed (Seeker, Hitz., Ew.). ‘walk amid...’ or, ‘begone into the ﬂame into..’)[*](4. ‘from ’: lit. ‘from by ’: cf. Greek, παρ’ ἐμοῦ. ‘settle’: lit. ‘make to rest.’)[*](6. So (deictic phrase) = ‘like ’ Del.: ‘like a gnat’ (singular form word rendered ‘lice’ in Exod. viii. 12) many comm.: but this prob. requires slight emendation.)

8 For the moth shall eat them like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool; but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.
