Isaias

Hebrew Bible

Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

3 Therefore my loins are filled with anguish ; pangs have taken hold upon me, like the pangs of a woman in travail; I am bowed with pain, so that I cannot hear; I am dismayed, so that I cannot see.

4 My heart wandereth, horror affrighteth me; the twilight of my desire hath he turned into trembling for me.

5 They prepare the table, they set the watch, eat, drink. Arise, ye princes, anoint the shield.

[*](5. Verbs in former part of verse are infinitives. ‘set the watch’: or,‘spread the carpets.)

6 For thus bath the Lord said unto me, Go, place the watchman; what he shall see, let him declare.
