1 And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread,
and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.
2 In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth
shall beexcellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel.
3 And it shall come to pass, that he that isleft in Zion, and he thatremaineth in Jerusalem,
shall be called holy, evenevery one that is written among the living in Jerusalem:
4 When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have
purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the
spirit of burning.
5 And the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a
cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be
a defence.
6 And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime from the heat, and for a place of
refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain.
1 Now will I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved
hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill:
2 And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine,
and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it
should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.
3 And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my
vineyard.
4 What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I
looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?
5 And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge
thereof, and it shall be eaten up; andbreak down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down:
6 And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and
thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
7 For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts isthe house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant
plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.
8 Woe unto them that join house to house, thatlay field to field, till there beno place, that
they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth!
9 In mine ears saidthe LORD of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, evengreat and
fair, without inhabitant.
10 Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed of an homer shall yield an ephah.
11 Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, thatthey may follow strong drink; that
continue until night, tillwine inflame them!
12 And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard
not the work of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hands.
13 Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they haveno knowledge: and their
honourable men arefamished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.
14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory,
and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.
15 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes
of the lofty shall be humbled:
16 But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified
in righteousness.
17 Then shall the lambs feed after their manner, and the waste places of the fat ones shall
strangers eat.
18 Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope:

19 That say, Let him make speed, andhasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel
of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it!
20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for
darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21 Woe unto them that arewise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
22 Woe unto them that aremighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from
him!
24 Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, sotheir
root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away
the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25 Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth
his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were
torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is
stretched out still.
26 And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end
of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly:
27 None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the
girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:
28 Whose arrows aresharp, and all their bows bent, their horses' hoofs shall be counted like
flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind:
29 Their roaring shall belike a lion, they shall roar like young lions: yea, they shall roar, and
lay hold of the prey, and shall carry itaway safe, and none shall deliver it.
30 And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea: and if onelook unto
the land, behold darkness andsorrow, and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof.
1 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up,
and his train filled the temple.
2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and
with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.
3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, isthe LORD of hosts: the whole earth is
full of his glory.
4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with
smoke.
5 Then said I, Woe isme! for I am undone; because I ama man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the
midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.
6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, whichhe had taken
with the tongs from off the altar:
7 And he laid itupon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is
taken away, and thy sin purged.
8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then
said I, Here amI; send me.
9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed,
but perceive not.
10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they
see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and
be healed.
11 Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant,
and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,
12 And the LORD have removed men far away, and there bea great forsaking in the midst of the

land.
13 But yet in it shall bea tenth, and itshall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an
oak, whose substance isin them, when they cast their leaves: sothe holy seed shall bethe
substance thereof.
1 And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah,
thatRezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up toward
Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it.
2 And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria is confederate with Ephraim. And his heart
was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the wood are moved with the wind.
3 Then said the LORD unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shearjashub thy son, at
the end of the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field;
4 And say unto him, Take heed, and be quiet; fear not, neither be fainthearted for the two tails
of these smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the son of
Remaliah.
5 Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have taken evil counsel against thee, saying,
6 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, eventhe son of Tabeal:
7 Thus saith the Lord GOD, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass.
8 For the head of Syria isDamascus, and the head of Damascus isRezin; and within threescore
and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people.
9 And the head of Ephraim isSamaria, and the head of Samaria isRemaliah's son. If ye will not
believe, surely ye shall not be established.
10 Moreover the LORD spake again unto Ahaz, saying,
11 Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.
12 But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the LORD.
13 And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; Is ita small thing for you to weary men, but will
ye weary my God also?
14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a
son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
15 Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.
16 For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou
abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings.
17 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; eventhe king of Assyria.
18 And it shall come to pass in that day, thatthe LORD shall hiss for the fly that isin the
uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that isin the land of Assyria.
19 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.
20 In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired, namely, 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.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, thata man shall nourish a young cow, and two sheep;
22 And it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk thatthey shall give he shall eat butter:
for butter and honey shall every one eat that is left in the land.
23 And it shall come to pass in that day, thatevery place shall be, where there were a thousand
vines at a thousand silverlings, it shall evenbe for briers and thorns.
24 With arrows and with bows shall mencome thither; because all the land shall become briers
and thorns.
25 And onall hills that shall be digged with the mattock, there shall not come thither the fear
