Isaias

Hebrew Bible

Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

25 And there shall be, upon every high mountain, and on every uplifted hill, channels and streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter when the towers fall.

26 And the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the hurt of his people, and healeth the stroke of its wound.

27 Behold, the Name of the LORD cometh from far; burning his anger, and denseness of rising smoke; his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue like devouring fire.

28 And his breath is as an overflowing stream, dividing even to the neck, to shake the nations in the shaking sieve of vanity; and a bridle that leadeth astray shall be in the jaws of peoples.

29 Your song shall be like the night When a feast is kept holy; and joy of heart, like his that marcheth with the flute, to go into the mountain of the LORD, to the Rock of Israel.

[*](22. ‘molten’ undistinguishable from word rendered ‘covering in ver. 1.)[*](27. ‘denseness,’ lit. ‘heaviness’: akin to usual word for ‘weight,’ ‘glory,’ ‘rising’ ’ word near akin to ‘burden’ =oracle, utterance, as xiii. i c.)

30 And the Lord shall cause the majesty of his voice to be heard, and the lighting down of his arm to be seen, with fury of anger, and flame of devouring fire; scattering, rainstorm, and hailstone. . ’

31 For at the voice of the Lord shall Asshur be affrighted ; with the rod shall he smite.

32 every passing of the staff of destiny, which the Lord shall make to light on him, shall be with tabrets and harps; and with waving wars shall he fight against her. ’

33 For a burning place is made ready from yesterday; even it is prepared for the king; he hath made it deep, and hath made it broad; its pile fire and much wood; the breath of the Lord, like a stream of brimstone, bumeth against it.
