Isaias

Hebrew Bible

Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

14 Fear not, thou worm Jacob, ye few men of Israel; I do help thee, saith the LORD, and the Holy One of Israel is thy redeemer.

15 Behold, I have set thee for a threshing sledge, sharp, new, with edges; thou shalt thresh mountains, and grind them fine, and shalt make hills as chaff.

16 Thou shalt winnow them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them; and thou shalt exult in the LORD, shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel.

226

17 The afflicted and needy are seeking water, and there is none; their tongue is parched with thirst: I the Lord will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them.

18 I will open rivers on bare heights, and fountains in the midst of valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and dry land springs of water.

19 I will give in the wilderness cedar, acacia, and myrtle, and oil-tree; I will set in the desert fir, plane, and larch together.

20 That they may see, and learn, and consider, and under- stand together, that the hand of the LORD hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it.

21 Bring near your cause, saith the LORD; bring up your strengths, saith the King of Jacob.
