* shall return and shall be eaten as a teil tree and as an oak whose

* and it came to pass in the days of ahaz the son of jotham the son of uzziah king of judah
* king of syria and pekah the son of remaliah king of israel went up
* jerusalem to war against it but could not prevail against it
* and it was told the house of david saying syria is
* with ephraim and his heart was moved and the heart of his people as the trees of the wood are moved with the wind
* then said the Lord unto isaiah go forth now to meet ahaz thou and shearjashub thy son at the end of the
* of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller s field
* and say unto him take heed and be quiet fear not neither be

* because syria ephraim and the son of remaliah have taken evil counsel against thee saying
* let us go up against judah and vex it and let us make a breach therein for us and set a king in the midst of it

* butter and honey shall he eat that he may know to refuse the evil and
* for before the child shall know to refuse the evil and choose the good the land that thou abhorrest
* the Lord shall bring upon thee and upon thy people and upon thy father s house days that have not come from the day that ephraim departed from judah
* and it shall come to pass in that day that the Lord shall hiss for the fly that is in the uttermost part of
* of egypt and for the bee that is in the land of assyria
* and they shall come and shall rest all of them in the desolate valleys and in the holes of the rocks and upon all thorns and upon all bushes
* in the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired
* by them beyond the river by the king of assyria the head and the hair of the feet and it shall also consume the beard
* a man shall nourish a young cow and two sheep
* and it shall come to pass for the abundance of milk
* they shall give he shall eat butter for butter and honey shall every one eat that is left in the land
* every place shall be where there were a thousand vines at a thousand
* with arrows and with bows shall men come thither because all the land shall
* all hills that shall be digged with the mattock there shall not come thither the fear of
* and thorns but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen and
* the Lord said unto me take thee a great roll and write in it with a man s pen concerning
* and I went unto the prophetess and she conceived and

* in pieces and give ear all ye of far countries gird yourselves and ye shall be broken in pieces gird yourselves and ye shall be broken in pieces

* me that I should not walk in the way of this people saying
* to whom this people shall say a confederacy neither fear ye their fear nor be afraid
* sanctify the Lord of hosts himself and let him be your fear and let him be your dread
* and he shall be for a sanctuary but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of
* to both the houses of israel for a gin and
* and fall and be broken and be snared and be taken
* bind up the testimony seal the law among my disciples
* and I will wait upon the Lord that hideth his face from the house of jacob and I will look for him
* the Lord hath given me are for signs and for wonders in israel from the Lord of hosts which dwelleth in mount zion
* and when they shall say unto you seek unto them
* if they speak not according to this word it is because there is no light in them
* and they shall pass through it hardly bestead and hungry and it shall come to pass that when they shall be hungry they shall fret themselves and curse their king and their god and look upward
* nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of
* the people that walked in darkness have seen a great
* they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death upon them hath the
* increased the joy they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil
* for thou hast broken the yoke of his burden and the staff of his shoulder the rod of his oppressor
* rolled in blood but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire
* for unto us a child is born unto us a son is given and the government shall be upon his shoulder and his name
* be called wonderful counsellor the mighty god the everlasting father the prince of peace
* no end upon the throne of david and upon his kingdom to order it and to
* the zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this
* and all the people shall know even ephraim and the
* the bricks are fallen down but we will build with
* are cut down but we will change them into cedars
* the syrians before and the philistines behind and they shall devour israel with open
* for all this his anger is not turned away but his hand
* from israel head and tail branch and rush in one day
* for the leaders of this people cause them to err and they that are led of them are destroyed
* therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows for every one
* folly for all this his anger is not turned away
* as the fire it shall devour the briers and thorns and shall kindle in the thickets of the
* land darkened and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire no man shall spare his brother
* and he shall snatch on the right hand and be hungry and he shall eat on the left hand and they shall not be satisfied they shall eat every man the
* shall be against judah for all this his anger is not turned away but his hand
* unto them that decree unrighteous decrees and that write grievousness which they have prescribed
* to turn aside the needy from judgment and to take away the right from the poor of my people that widows may be their prey and that they may rob the fatherless
* and what will ye do in the day of visitation and in the desolation which shall come from far to whom will ye flee for help and where will ye leave your glory
* without me they shall bow down under the prisoners and they shall fall under the slain for all this his anger
* o assyrian the rod of mine anger and the staff in their hand is
* nation and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge to take the spoil and to take the prey and to tread them down like the mire of the streets
* howbeit he meaneth not so neither doth his heart think so but
* the kingdoms of the idols and whose graven images did excel them of jerusalem and of
* shall I not as I have done unto samaria and her idols so do to jerusalem and
* wherefore it shall come to pass that when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount zion and
* jerusalem I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of assyria and the glory of his
* and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant
* hand hath found as a nest the riches of the
* and as one gathereth eggs that are left have I gathered all the earth and there was none that moved the wing or opened the mouth or peeped
* shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith
* shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it as if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it up or as if the staff should lift up
* therefore shall the Lord the Lord of hosts send among his fat ones leanness and
* his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire
* and the light of israel shall be for a fire and his holy one for a flame and
* and shall consume the glory of his forest and of his fruitful field both soul and body and they shall
* and the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few that a child may write them
* and it shall come to pass in that day that the
* and such as are escaped of the house of jacob shall no more again stay upon him
* for though thy people israel be as the sand of the sea yet a remnant of them shall return the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness
* therefore thus saith the Lord god of hosts o my people that dwellest in zion be not afraid of the assyrian he shall smite thee with a rod and shall lift up his staff against thee after the manner of egypt
* for yet a very little while and the indignation shall cease and mine anger in their destruction
* to the slaughter of midian at the rock of oreb and as his rod
* upon the sea so shall he lift it up after the manner of egypt
* and it shall come to pass in that day that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder and his yoke
* off thy neck and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing
* he is come to aiath he is passed to migron at michmash he hath laid up his carriages
* they are gone over the passage they have taken up their lodging at geba
* of gallim cause it to be heard unto laish o poor
* his hand against the mount of the daughter of zion the hill of jerusalem
* behold the Lord the Lord of hosts shall lop the bough with terror and the high ones of stature shall be hewn
* with iron and lebanon shall fall by a mighty one
* and there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of jesse and a branch shall grow out of his roots
* and the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him the spirit of wisdom and
* the spirit of counsel and might the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord
* in the fear of the Lord and he shall not judge
* sight of his eyes neither reprove after the hearing of his ears
* with equity for the meek of the earth and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked
* be the girdle of his loins and faithfulness the girdle of his reins
* the wolf also shall dwell with the lamb and the leopard shall lie down with the kid and the calf and the young lion and the
* and the cow and the bear shall feed their young ones shall lie down

* that day that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people which shall be left from assyria and from egypt and from
* and from cush and from elam and from shinar and from hamath and from the islands of the sea

* fly upon the shoulders of the philistines toward the west they shall spoil them of the east together they shall lay their hand upon edom and moab and the children of
* and the Lord shall utterly destroy the tongue of the egyptian sea and with his mighty
* shake his hand over the river and shall smite it in the seven streams and make men go over

* your reward in heaven for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you
* thenceforth good for nothing but to be cast out and to be trodden under foot of men
* that they may see your good works and glorify your father which is in heaven
* think not that I am come to destroy the law or the prophets I am not come to destroy but to fulfil
* ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of
* ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time
* thou shalt not kill and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the
* but I say unto you that whosoever is angry with his brother
* and whosoever shall say to his brother raca shall be in danger of the council
* thou art in the way with him lest at any time
* verily I say unto thee thou shalt by no means come out thence
* you that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery
* whosoever shall put away his wife let him give her a writing of divorcement
* I say unto you that whosoever shall put away his wife saving for the cause of fornication causeth her to commit adultery and
* I say unto you swear not at all neither by heaven for it is god s throne
* but let your communication be yea yea nay nay for whatsoever
* an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
* evil but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek turn to him the other also
* and if any man will sue thee at the law and take away thy coat let him have thy cloak also
* I say unto you love your enemies bless them that curse you do good to them that hate you and pray for them which despitefully use you and persecute you
* which is in heaven for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good
* take heed that ye do not your alms before men to be seen of them
* otherwise ye have no reward of your father which is in heaven
* synagogues and in the streets that they may have glory of men verily I say unto you they have their reward
* thou doest alms let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth
* that thine alms may be in secret and thy father
* for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets that they may be seen of men verily I say unto you they have their reward
* prayest enter into thy closet and when thou hast shut thy door pray to thy father which is in secret and thy father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly
* but when ye pray use not vain repetitions as the heathen
* for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking
* be not ye therefore like unto them for your father knoweth what things ye have need of before ye ask him
* after this manner therefore pray ye our father which art in heaven hallowed be thy name thy
* thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven
* and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory for ever amen
* for if ye forgive men their trespasses your heavenly father will also forgive you
* moreover when ye fast be not as the hypocrites of a sad countenance for they disfigure their faces that they may
* unto men to fast verily I say unto you they have their reward
* that thou appear not unto men to fast but unto thy father which is in secret and thy father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly
* but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt and
* for where your treasure is there will your heart be also
* the light of the body is the eye if therefore
* eye be single thy whole body shall be full of light
* but if thine eye be evil thy whole body shall be full of
* if therefore the light that is in thee be darkness how great is
* no man can serve two masters for either he will hate the one and love the other or else he will hold to the one and despise the other ye cannot serve god and mammon
* therefore I say unto you take no thought for your life what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink nor yet for your body what ye shall put on is not the life more than meat and the body than raiment
* behold the fowls of the air for they sow not neither do they reap nor gather into barns yet your heavenly father feedeth them are ye not much better than they
* which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature
* and why take ye thought for raiment consider the lilies of the field how they grow they toil not neither do they spin
* and yet I say unto you that even solomon in all
* wherefore if god so clothe the grass of the field which to day is and to morrow is cast into the oven
* therefore take no thought saying what shall we eat or what shall we drink or wherewithal shall we be clothed
* but seek ye first the kingdom of god and his righteousness and
* take therefore no thought for the morrow for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself sufficient
* ye judge ye shall be judged and with what measure ye mete it shall be measured to you again
* and why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother s eye but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye
* brother let me pull out the mote out of thine eye and behold a beam is in thine own eye
* thou hypocrite first cast out the beam out of thine own eye and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother s eye
* give not that which is holy unto the dogs neither cast ye your pearls before swine lest they trample them under their feet and turn again and rend you
* you seek and ye shall find knock and it shall be opened unto you
* for every one that asketh receiveth and he that seeketh findeth and to him that knocketh it shall be opened
* or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread
* he give him a stone or if he ask a fish will he
* or if he ask a fish will he give him a serpent
* if ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children how much more shall your father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him
* therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you do ye even so to them for this is the law and the prophets
* gate for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction and many there be which go in thereat
* is the way which leadeth unto life and few there be that find it
* beware of false prophets which come to you in sheep s clothing but inwardly they are ravening wolves
* ye shall know them by their fruits do men gather grapes of thorns or figs of thistles
* even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit
* every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire
* not every one that saith unto me Lord Lord shall enter into the kingdom of heaven but he that doeth the will of my father which is in heaven
* many will say to me in that day Lord Lord have we not prophesied in thy name and in thy name have cast out devils and in thy name done many
* profess unto them I never knew you depart from me ye that work iniquity
* heareth these sayings of mine and doeth them I will liken him unto a wise man which built his house upon a rock
* and the rain descended and the floods came and the
* blew and beat upon that house and it fell not for it was founded upon a rock
* these sayings of mine and doeth them not shall be likened unto a foolish man which built his house upon the sand
* and the rain descended and the floods came and the winds blew and beat upon that house and it fell and great was the fall of it
* other sheep I have which are not of this fold them also I must bring and they shall hear my voice and there shall be one fold and one shepherd
* other sheep I have which are not of this fold them also I must
* and they shall hear my voice and there shall be one fold and one shepherd
* is thenceforth good for nothing but to be cast out and to be trodden under foot of
* thy watchmen shall lift up the voice with the voice together shall they sing for they shall see eye to eye when the Lord shall bring again zion
* break forth into joy sing together ye waste places of jerusalem for the Lord hath comforted his people he hath redeemed jerusalem
* the Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of
* to have you that he may sift you as wheat
* from the east and from the west and from the
* as a young lion among the flocks of sheep who if he
* through both treadeth down and teareth in pieces and none can deliver
* a prophet shall the Lord your god raise up unto you of your brethren like unto me him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you
* and it shall come to pass that every soul which will not hear that prophet shall be
* fathers saying unto abraham and in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed
* to bless you in turning away every one of you from his
* in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed
* with the voice together shall they sing for they shall see eye to eye

* sit down o jerusalem loose thyself from the bands of thy neck o
* for thus saith the Lord ye have sold yourselves for nought and ye shall be redeemed without money
* depart ye depart ye go ye out from thence touch
* go ye out of the midst of her be ye clean that bear the vessels of the Lord
* for ye shall not go out with haste nor go by flight for the Lord will go before you
* behold my servant shall deal prudently he shall be exalted and extolled and be very high
* so marred more than any man and his form more than the sons of men
* so shall he sprinkle many nations the kings shall shut their mouths at him for that which had
* been told them shall they see and that which they had not heard shall they consider
* for that which had not been told them shall they see and that which they had not heard shall they consider
* as a lion among the beasts of the forest as a young lion among the
* of sheep who if he go through both treadeth down and teareth in pieces and none can deliver
* for it shall come to pass in that day saith the
* that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee and I will destroy thy chariots
* and I will cut off the cities of thy land and throw down all thy strong holds
* cut off and thy standing images out of the midst of thee and thou shalt no more worship the
* and I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee so will I destroy thy cities
* sing o barren thou that didst not bear break forth into singing and cry aloud thou that didst not travail with child for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife saith the Lord
* enlarge the place of thy tent and let them stretch forth the curtains of
* for thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left and thy seed shall
* the gentiles and make the desolate cities to be inhabited
* fear not for thou shalt not be ashamed neither be thou
* for thou shalt not be put to shame for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth and shalt not remember the
* husband the Lord of hosts is his name and thy redeemer
* holy one of israel the god of the whole earth shall he
* and grieved in spirit and a wife of youth when thou wast refused saith thy god
* for a small moment have I forsaken thee but with great mercies will I gather thee
* in a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment but with
* kindness will I have mercy on thee saith the Lord thy redeemer
* the waters of noah unto me for as I have sworn that the waters of noah should no more go over the earth so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee
* for the mountains shall depart and the hills be removed but my kindness shall not depart from thee neither shall the
* be removed saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee
* o thou afflicted tossed with tempest and not comforted behold I will lay thy stones with fair
* and I will make thy windows of agates and thy gates of carbuncles and all thy borders of pleasant stones
* and all thy children shall be taught of the Lord and great shall be the peace of thy children
* in righteousness shalt thou be established thou shalt be far from oppression for thou shalt not fear and from terror for it shall not come near thee
* not by me whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake
* behold I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire and that bringeth forth an
* for his work and I have created the waster to destroy
* no weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper and
* thou shalt condemn this is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their righteousness is of me saith the Lord

* then shall the offering of judah and jerusalem be pleasant unto the Lord as in
* and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers and against the adulterers and against false swearers and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages the widow and the fatherless and that turn aside the stranger

* ye have said it is vain to serve god and what
* that we have kept his ordinance and that we have walked
* and now we call the proud happy yea they that work wickedness are set up yea
* then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another and the Lord hearkened and heard
