ISAIAH
10.1
- And his name is called
- [1]Pele-joez-el-gibbor-
- Abi-ad-sar-shalom;
- 6That the government may be increased,
- And of peace there be no end,
- Upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom,
- To establish it, and to uphold it
- Through justice and through righteousness
- From henceforth even for ever.
- The zeal of the Lord of hosts doth perform this.
- 7The Lord sent a word into Jacob,
- And it hath lighted upon Israel.
- 8And all the people shall know,
- Even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria,
- That say in pride and in arrogancy of heart:
- 9'The bricks are fallen, but we will build with hewn stones;
- The sycamores are cut down, but cedars will we put in their place.'
- 10Therefore the Lord doth set upon high the adversaries of Rezin against him,
- And spur his enemies;
- 11The Arameans on the east, and the Philistines on the west;
- And they devour Israel with open mouth.
- For all this His anger is not turned away,
- But His hand is stretched out still.
- 12Yet the people turneth not unto Him that smiteth them,
- Neither do they seek the Lord of hosts.
- 13Therefore the Lord doth cut off from Israel head and tail,
- Palm-branch and rush, in one day.
- 14The elder and the man of rank, he is the head;
- And the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.
- 15For they that lead this people cause them to err;
- And they that are led of them are destroyed.
- 16Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men,
- Neither shall He have compassion on their fatherless and widows;
- For every one is ungodly and an evil-doer,
- And every mouth speaketh wantonness.
- For all this His anger is not turned away,
- But His hand is stretched out still.
- 17 For wickedness burneth as the fire;
- It devoureth the briers and thorns;
- Yea, it kindleth in the thickets of the forest,
- And they roll upward in thick clouds of smoke.
- 18Through the wrath of the Lord of hosts is the land burnt up;
- The people also are as the fuel of fire;
- No man spareth his brother.
- 19And one snatcheth on the right hand, and is hungry;
- And he eateth on the left hand, and is not satisfied;
- They eat every man the flesh of his own arm:
- 20Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh;
- And they together are against Judah.
- For all this His anger is not turned away,
- But His hand is stretched out still.
- 10Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees,
- And to the writers that write iniquity;
- ↑ That is, Wonderful in counsel is God the Mighty, the Everlasting Father, the Ruler of peace.
