Isaias

Hebrew Bible

Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

16 For with fire will the LORD enter into judgment, and with his sword with all flesh; and the smitten of the LORD shall be many.

17 They that hallow themselves, and purify themselves for the gardens behind one in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall come to an end together, saith the LORD.

18 And I . . . . . . their works and their thoughts: it cometh, to gather all nations and tongues: and they shall come, and see my glory.

19 And I will set a sign among them, and I will send the escaped of them unto the nations, Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, Tubal and Javan, the isles afar off, that have not heard my message, neither have seen my glory; and they shall tell my glory among the nations.

20 And they shall bring all your brethren out of all nations, a (meal) offering unto the LORD, upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon dromedaries, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the LORD, as the children of Israel bring the (meal) offering in a clean vessel to the house of the LORD.

21 And also of them will I take for the priests, for the Levites, saith the LORD.

22 For as the. new heavens and the new earth, which I make, stand before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name stand.

[*](17. ‘one,’ masc. (meaning a leader, hierophant ?) Heb. text. Heb. marg. has ‘one,’ fem. (i.e. an image? or tree); some emend slightly, to read, for ‘behind’ ‘one after another.’)[*](18 init. Heb. has no verb in this clause: perhaps ‘I know’ or ‘I will punish’ should be supplied. ‘it,’ i.e. the time cometh.)[*](19. ‘message,’ lit. hearing: perhaps, ‘the report of me.)[*](21. Many MSS. and versions read ‘for the priests and for the Levites.)

23 And it shall be, from new moon to new moon, and from sabbath to sabbath, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.

24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have rebelled against me: for their worm shall not die, and their fire shall not be quenched; and they shall be a horror unto all flesh.
