Isaias

5 For thy husband is thy Maker; the LORD of Hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel: the God of the whole earth shall he be called.

6 For the LORD hath called thee as a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when she is rejected, saith ᾖ thy God.

7 For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great - mercies I gather thee.

8 In a gush of wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; and with everlasting lovingkindness will I have mercy on thee; saith the LORD thy Redeemer.

9 For this is the waters of Noah unto me; as I have sworn i that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I will not be wrbth with thee, nor re? buke thee

10 For the mountains shall remove, and the hills totter; yet my lovingkindness shall not remove from thee, nor my covenant of peace totter, saith he that hath mercy on thee, the Lord.

11 Ο thou afficted, tossed with tempest, not comforted ; behold I lay thy stones in antimony, and thy foundations with sapphires.

12 And I will make thy battlements rubies, and thy gates. to be fiery stones, and all thy border stones of pleasure.

13 And all thy sons shall be disciples of the LORD, andgreat shallbe the peace of thy sons.

14 In righteousness shalt thou be established; be thou far from oppression, for thou shalt not fear, and from destruction, for it shall not come near thee.

15 Behold, they surely gather together; it is not of me; who gathereth against thee? he shall fall because of thee.

16 Behold, I have created the craftsman, that bloweth on the fire of coals, and that bringeth forth a weapon for its work; and Ι have created the waster to destroy.

17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue (that) shall rise up against thee in judgment thou shalt convict. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness from me, saith the Lord.
