Isaias

Hebrew Bible

Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

10 They shall not hunger nor thirst; and the burning sand and sun shall not smite them; for he that hath mercy on them shall lead them, and by springs of water shall he guide them.

11 And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted.

12 Behold, these shall come from afar; and behold, these from the north and from the sea; and these from the land of Sinim.

13 Sing, O heavens, and rejoice, O earth; and break forth into, singing, ye mountains; for the Lord hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted.

14 And Zion said, The Lord hath forsaken me, and the Lord hath forgotten me.

15 Will a woman forget her suckling, not to have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, these may forget, and I will not forget thee.

16 Behold, upon both palms have I engraved thee; thy walls are continually before me.

17 Thy sons make haste; thy destroyers and they that made thee waste shall go forth of thee.

18 Lift up thine eyes round about, and see; they all are gathered together, they come to thee. As I live, saith the Lord, thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all as with an ornament, and gird them on (thee) like a bride.

19 For (as for) thy ruins and thy waste places, and the land of thy destruction, surely now shalt thou be too strait for the inhabitants, and they that swallowed thee up shall be far away.

29 The sons of thy bereavement shall yet say in thine ears, The place is too strait for me: give place to me, and I will dwell.
