Isaias

5 The LORD is exalted, for he dwelleth in the height; he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.

6 And there shall be faithfulness in thy times; power of salvation, wisdom and knowledge: the fear of the Lord, that is his treasure. ’

7 Behold, their valiant ones cry without; the mesSengers of peace weep bitterly.

8 The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man is ceased; he hath broken the covenant, despised cities, not man.

9 The earth mourneth, languisheth; Lebanon is ashamed, withereth; Sharon becometh like a desert; and Bashan and Carmel shake off (their leaves).

10 Now will I rise, saith the LORD; now will I exalt myself; now will I lift up myself.

11 Ye shall conceive hay, ye shall bring forth stubble; your breath is fire which shall devour you.

12 And peoples shall become burnings of lime; thorns cut up, they shall burn in the fire.

13 Hear, ye that are far, what I have done; and ye that are near, acknowledge my might.
