Isaias

Hebrew Bible

Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

7 Instead of your shame, (ye shall have) twofold; and as for confusion, they shall sing of their portion; therefore in their land they shall possess twofold; everlasting joy shall be unto them

8 For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery with injustice; and I will give them their earnings with truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.

9 And their seed shall be known among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples; all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are a seed which the LORD hath blessed.

10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall exult in my God; for he hath put on me garments of salvation, he hath wrapped me in a cloke of righteousness, as a bridegroom putteth on priestly garland, and as a bride doth don her jewels.

[*](2. Or, ‘of our God.)[*](3. ‘garland’ or, 'diadem,’ and so ver. 10. ‘faint’: word rendered 'dimly burning,' xlii. a. Lit. ‘it shall be called to them, oaks...' ἃς. ‘planting’: or, ‘plantation,' cf. lx. 21)[*](6. ‘wealth’: or, ‘strength.’ ‘shall ye boast’: or, ‘and to their glory shall ye succeed.)[*](8. ‘injustice’: so some MSS., and many authorities. Usual Heb. text, Vulg. c. point it differently as ‘a burnt)[*](10. Heb. repeats verb, 'rejoice,' for emphasis.)

11 For as the earth which putteth forth her sprout, and as a garden which causeth its plants to sprout, so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to sprout forth before all the nations.

LXII. 1 For Zion's sake I will not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her righteousness go forth as a shining, and her salvation as a torch that burneth.

2 And nations shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory; and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall pronounce.

3 And thou shalt be a crown of beauty in the hand of the LORD, and a diadem of kingship in the open hand of thy God.

4 Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land be any more termed Desolation; for thou shalt be called My delight in her, and thy land Married: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.

5 For (as) a young man marrieth a virgin, thy sons shall marry thee; and with the rejoicing of a bridegroom over a bride, thy God shall rejoice over thee.

6 Ι have set watchmen upon thy walls, Jerusalem; all the day and all the night continually they shall not hold their peace. Ye remembrancers of the LORD, no rest for you,

7 And give no rest to him, until he establish, and until he set Jerusalem (as) a praise in the earth.
