Isaiah Chapter 54

1 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.

2 Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains 
of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy 
stakes;

3 For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy 
seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be 
inhabited.

4 Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; 
for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of 
thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.

5 For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy 
Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be 
called.

6 For the LORD hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in 
spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God.

7 For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I 
gather thee.

8 In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with 
everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer.

9 For this is as 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, nor rebuke thee.

10 For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my 
kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my 
peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee.

11 O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I 
will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with 
sapphires.

12 And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, 
and all thy borders of pleasant stones.

13 And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be 
the peace of thy children.

14 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.

15 Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever 
shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.

16 Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, 
and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created 
the waster to destroy.

17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue 
that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the 
heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, 
saith the LORD.

Isaiah Chapter 55

1 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath 
no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without 
money and without price.

2 Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your 
labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and 
eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

3 Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; 
and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies 
of David.

4 Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and 
commander to the people.

5 Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations 
that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the LORD thy God, and 
for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee.

6 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:

7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: 
and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and 
to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, 
saith the LORD.

9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher 
than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth 
not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, 
that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:

11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not 
return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it 
shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the 
mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and 
all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the 
brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a 
name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.

Isaiah Chapter 56

1 Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my 
salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.

2 Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth 
hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his 
hand from doing any evil.

3 Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the 
LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly separated me from his people: 
neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.

4 For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and 
choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant;

5 Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place 
and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an 
everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.

6 Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to 
serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every 
one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my 
covenant;

7 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my 
house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be 
accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of 
prayer for all people.

8 The Lord GOD which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I 
gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.

9 All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, yea, all ye beasts in the 
forest.

10 His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb 
dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.

11 Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are 
shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every 
one for his gain, from his quarter.

12 Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with 
strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant.

Isaiah Chapter 57

1 The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful 
men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away 
from the evil to come.

2 He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one 
walking in his uprightness.

3 But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the 
adulterer and the whore.

4 Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye a wide 
mouth, and draw out the tongue? are ye not children of transgression, a 
seed of falsehood,

5 Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the 
children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks?

6 Among the smooth stones of the stream is thy portion; they, they are 
thy lot: even to them hast thou poured a drink offering, thou hast 
offered a meat offering. Should I receive comfort in these?

7 Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed: even thither 
wentest thou up to offer sacrifice.

8 Behind the doors also and the posts hast thou set up thy remembrance: 
for thou hast discovered thyself to another than me, and art gone up; 
thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made thee a covenant with them; thou 
lovedst their bed where thou sawest it.

9 And thou wentest to the king with ointment, and didst increase thy 
perfumes, and didst send thy messengers far off, and didst debase 
thyself even unto hell.

10 Thou art wearied in the greatness of thy way; yet saidst thou not, 
There is no hope: thou hast found the life of thine hand; therefore thou 
wast not grieved.

11 And of whom hast thou been afraid or feared, that thou hast lied, and 
hast not remembered me, nor laid it to thy heart? have not I held my 
peace even of old, and thou fearest me not?

12 I will declare thy righteousness, and thy works; for they shall not 
profit thee.

13 When thou criest, let thy companies deliver thee; but the wind shall 
carry them all away; vanity shall take them: but he that putteth his 
trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain;

14 And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the 
stumblingblock out of the way of my people.

15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose 
name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is 
of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and 
to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

16 For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for 
the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made.

17 For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him: I 
hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart.

18 I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and 
restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.

19 I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, 
and to him that is near, saith the LORD; and I will heal him.

20 But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose 
waters cast up mire and dirt.

21 There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.

Isaiah Chapter 58

1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my 
people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.

2 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that 
did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask 
of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God.

3 Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have 
we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day 
of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours.

4 Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of 
wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to 
be heard on high.

5 Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his 
soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth 
and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day 
to the LORD?

6 Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of 
wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, 
and that ye break every yoke?

7 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the 
poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that 
thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?

8 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health 
shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; 
the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward.

9 Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and 
he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the 
yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;

10 And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the 
afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness 
be as the noonday:

11 And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in 
drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered 
garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.

12 And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou 
shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be 
called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.

13 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure 
on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, 
honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding 
thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:

14 Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to 
ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage 
of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
