  • Isa 57:15-19 : 15 For thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the high{H7311}{(H8802)} and lofty One{H5375}{(H8737)} that inhabiteth{H7931}{(H8802)} eternity{H5703}, whose name{H8034} is Holy{H6918}; I dwell{H7931}{(H8799)} in the high{H4791} and holy{H6918} place, with him also that is of a contrite{H1793} and humble{H8217} spirit{H7307}, to revive{H2421}{(H8687)} the spirit{H7307} of the humble{H8217}, and to revive{H2421}{(H8687)} the heart{H3820} of the contrite ones{H1792}{(H8737)}. 16 For I will not contend{H7378}{(H8799)} for ever{H5769}, neither will I be always{H5331} wroth{H7107}{(H8799)}: for the spirit{H7307} should fail{H5848}{(H8799)} before{H6440} me, and the souls{H5397} which I have made{H6213}{(H8804)}. 17 For the iniquity{H5771} of his covetousness{H1215} was I wroth{H7107}{(H8804)}, and smote{H5221}{(H8686)} him: I hid{H5641}{(H8687)} me, and was wroth{H7107}{(H8799)}, and he went on{H3212}{(H8799)} frowardly{H7726} in the way{H1870} of his heart{H3820}. 18 I have seen{H7200}{(H8804)} his ways{H1870}, and will heal{H7495}{(H8799)} him: I will lead{H5148}{(H8686)} him also, and restore{H7999}{(H8762)} comforts{H5150} unto him and to his mourners{H57}. 19 I create{H1254}{(H8802)} the fruit{H5108} of the lips{H8193}; Peace{H7965}, peace{H7965} to him that is far off{H7350}, and to him that is near{H7138}, saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068}; and I will heal{H7495}{(H8804)} him.
  • Isa 60:1-61:3 : 1 Arise{H6965}{(H8798)}, shine{H215}{(H8798)}; for thy light{H216} is come{H935}{(H8804)}, and the glory{H3519} of the LORD{H3068} is risen{H2224}{(H8804)} upon thee. 2 For, behold, the darkness{H2822} shall cover{H3680}{(H8762)} the earth{H776}, and gross darkness{H6205} the people{H3816}: but the LORD{H3068} shall arise{H2224}{(H8799)} upon thee, and his glory{H3519} shall be seen{H7200}{(H8735)} upon thee. 3 And the Gentiles{H1471} shall come{H1980}{(H8804)} to thy light{H216}, and kings{H4428} to the brightness{H5051} of thy rising{H2225}. 4 Lift up{H5375}{(H8798)} thine eyes{H5869} round about{H5439}, and see{H7200}{(H8798)}: all they gather themselves together{H6908}{(H8738)}, they come{H935}{(H8804)} to thee: thy sons{H1121} shall come{H935}{(H8799)} from far{H7350}, and thy daughters{H1323} shall be nursed{H539}{(H8735)} at thy side{H6654}. 5 Then thou shalt see{H7200}{(H8799)}{(H8675)}{H3372}{(H8799)}, and flow together{H5102}{(H8804)}, and thine heart{H3824} shall fear{H6342}{(H8804)}, and be enlarged{H7337}{(H8804)}; because the abundance{H1995} of the sea{H3220} shall be converted{H2015}{(H8735)} unto thee, the forces{H2428} of the Gentiles{H1471} shall come{H935}{(H8799)} unto thee. 6 The multitude{H8229} of camels{H1581} shall cover{H3680}{(H8762)} thee, the dromedaries{H1070} of Midian{H4080} and Ephah{H5891}; all they from Sheba{H7614} shall come{H935}{(H8799)}: they shall bring{H5375}{(H8799)} gold{H2091} and incense{H3828}; and they shall shew forth{H1319}{(H8762)} the praises{H8416} of the LORD{H3068}. 7 All the flocks{H6629} of Kedar{H6938} shall be gathered together{H6908}{(H8735)} unto thee, the rams{H352} of Nebaioth{H5032} shall minister{H8334}{(H8762)} unto thee: they shall come up{H5927}{(H8799)} with acceptance{H7522} on mine altar{H4196}, and I will glorify{H6286}{(H8762)} the house{H1004} of my glory{H8597}. 8 Who are these that fly{H5774}{(H8799)} as a cloud{H5645}, and as the doves{H3123} to their windows{H699}? 9 Surely the isles{H339} shall wait{H6960}{(H8762)} for me, and the ships{H591} of Tarshish{H8659} first{H7223}, to bring{H935}{(H8687)} thy sons{H1121} from far{H7350}, their silver{H3701} and their gold{H2091} with them, unto the name{H8034} of the LORD{H3068} thy God{H430}, and to the Holy One{H6918} of Israel{H3478}, because he hath glorified{H6286}{(H8765)} thee. 10 And the sons{H1121} of strangers{H5236} shall build up{H1129}{(H8804)} thy walls{H2346}, and their kings{H4428} shall minister{H8334}{(H8762)} unto thee: for in my wrath{H7110} I smote{H5221}{(H8689)} thee, but in my favour{H7522} have I had mercy{H7355}{(H8765)} on thee. 11 Therefore thy gates{H8179} shall be open{H6605}{(H8765)} continually{H8548}; they shall not be shut{H5462}{(H8735)} day{H3119} nor night{H3915}; that men may bring{H935}{(H8687)} unto thee the forces{H2428} of the Gentiles{H1471}, and that their kings{H4428} may be brought{H5090}{(H8803)}. 12 For the nation{H1471} and kingdom{H4467} that will not serve{H5647}{(H8799)} thee shall perish{H6}{(H8799)}; yea, those nations{H1471} shall be utterly{H2717}{(H8800)} wasted{H2717}{(H8799)}. 13 The glory{H3519} of Lebanon{H3844} shall come{H935}{(H8799)} unto thee, the fir tree{H1265}, the pine tree{H8410}, and the box{H8391} together{H3162}, to beautify{H6286}{(H8763)} the place{H4725} of my sanctuary{H4720}; and I will make the place{H4725} of my feet{H7272} glorious{H3513}{(H8762)}. 14 The sons{H1121} also of them that afflicted{H6031}{(H8764)} thee shall come{H1980}{(H8804)} bending{H7817}{(H8800)} unto thee; and all they that despised{H5006}{(H8764)} thee shall bow themselves down{H7812}{(H8694)} at the soles{H3709} of thy feet{H7272}; and they shall call{H7121}{(H8804)} thee, The city{H5892} of the LORD{H3068}, The Zion{H6726} of the Holy One{H6918} of Israel{H3478}. 15 Whereas{H8478} thou hast been forsaken{H5800}{(H8803)} and hated{H8130}{(H8803)}, so that no man went through{H5674}{(H8802)} thee, I will make{H7760}{(H8804)} thee an eternal{H5769} excellency{H1347}, a joy{H4885} of many{H1755} generations{H1755}. 16 Thou shalt also suck{H3243}{(H8804)} the milk{H2461} of the Gentiles{H1471}, and shalt suck{H3243}{(H8799)} the breast{H7699} of kings{H4428}: and thou shalt know{H3045}{(H8804)} that I the LORD{H3068} am thy Saviour{H3467}{(H8688)} and thy Redeemer{H1350}{(H8802)}, the mighty One{H46} of Jacob{H3290}. 17 For brass{H5178} I will bring{H935}{(H8686)} gold{H2091}, and for iron{H1270} I will bring{H935}{(H8686)} silver{H3701}, and for wood{H6086} brass{H5178}, and for stones{H68} iron{H1270}: I will also make{H7760}{(H8804)} thy officers{H6486} peace{H7965}, and thine exactors{H5065}{(H8802)} righteousness{H6666}. 18 Violence{H2555} shall no more be heard{H8085}{(H8735)} in thy land{H776}, wasting{H7701} nor destruction{H7667} within thy borders{H1366}; but thou shalt call{H7121}{(H8804)} thy walls{H2346} Salvation{H3444}, and thy gates{H8179} Praise{H8416}. 19 The sun{H8121} shall be no more thy light{H216} by day{H3119}; neither for brightness{H5051} shall the moon{H3394} give light{H216} unto thee: but the LORD{H3068} shall be unto thee an everlasting{H5769} light{H215}{(H8686)}, and thy God{H430} thy glory{H8597}. 20 Thy sun{H8121} shall no more go down{H935}{(H8799)}; neither shall thy moon{H3391} withdraw{H622}{(H8735)} itself: for the LORD{H3068} shall be thine everlasting{H5769} light{H216}, and the days{H3117} of thy mourning{H60} shall be ended{H7999}{(H8804)}. 21 Thy people{H5971} also shall be all righteous{H6662}: they shall inherit{H3423}{(H8799)} the land{H776} for ever{H5769}, the branch{H5342} of my planting{H4302}, the work{H4639} of my hands{H3027}, that I may be glorified{H6286}{(H8692)}. 22 A little one{H6996} shall become a thousand{H505}, and a small one{H6810} a strong{H6099} nation{H1471}: I the LORD{H3068} will hasten{H2363}{(H8686)} it in his time{H6256}. 1 The Spirit{H7307} of the Lord{H136} GOD{H3069} is upon me; because the LORD{H3068} hath anointed{H4886}{(H8804)} me to preach good tidings{H1319}{(H8763)} unto the meek{H6035}; he hath sent{H7971}{(H8804)} me to bind up{H2280}{(H8800)} the brokenhearted{H7665}{(H8737)}{H3820}, to proclaim{H7121}{(H8800)} liberty{H1865} to the captives{H7617}{(H8803)}, and the opening of the prison{H6495} to them that are bound{H631}{(H8803)}; 2 To proclaim{H7121}{(H8800)} the acceptable{H7522} year{H8141} of the LORD{H3068}, and the day{H3117} of vengeance{H5359} of our God{H430}; to comfort{H5162}{(H8763)} all that mourn{H57}; 3 To appoint{H7760}{(H8800)} unto them that mourn{H57} in Zion{H6726}, to give{H5414}{(H8800)} unto them beauty{H6287} for ashes{H665}, the oil{H8081} of joy{H8342} for mourning{H60}, the garment{H4594} of praise{H8416} for the spirit{H7307} of heaviness{H3544}; that they might be called{H7121}{(H8795)} trees{H352} of righteousness{H6664}, the planting{H4302} of the LORD{H3068}, that he might be glorified{H6286}{(H8692)}.
