Isaiah Chapter 31

1 Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and 
trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they 
are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither 
seek the LORD!

2 Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his 
words: but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against 
the help of them that work iniquity.

3 Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and 
not spirit. When the LORD shall stretch out his hand, both he that 
helpeth shall fall, and he that is holpen shall fall down, and they all 
shall fail together.

4 For thus hath the LORD spoken unto me, Like as the lion and the young 
lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth 
against him, he will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for 
the noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for 
mount Zion, and for the hill thereof.

5 As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending 
also he will deliver it; and passing over he will preserve it.

6 Turn ye unto him from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted.

7 For in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his 
idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you for a sin.

8 Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mighty man; and 
the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him: but he shall flee from 
the sword, and his young men shall be discomfited.

9 And he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear, and his princes 
shall be afraid of the ensign, saith the LORD, whose fire is in Zion, 
and his furnace in Jerusalem.

Isaiah Chapter 32

1 Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in 
judgment.

2 And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from 
the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great 
rock in a weary land.

3 And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them 
that hear shall hearken.

4 The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue 
of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.

5 The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to 
be bountiful.

6 For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work 
iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD, to 
make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the 
thirsty to fail.

7 The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices 
to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right.

8 But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall 
he stand.

9 Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye careless 
daughters; give ear unto my speech.

10 Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless women: for the 
vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come.

11 Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones: 
strip you, and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins.

12 They shall lament for the teats, for the pleasant fields, for the 
fruitful vine.

13 Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; yea, upon 
all the houses of joy in the joyous city:

14 Because the palaces shall be forsaken; the multitude of the city 
shall be left; the forts and towers shall be for dens for ever, a joy of 
wild asses, a pasture of flocks;

15 Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness 
be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.

16 Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain 
in the fruitful field.

17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of 
righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.

18 And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure 
dwellings, and in quiet resting places;

19 When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be 
low in a low place.

20 Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth thither 
the feet of the ox and the ass.

Isaiah Chapter 33

1 Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and dealest 
treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou 
shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and when thou shalt make an 
end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.

2 O LORD, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou their 
arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.

3 At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting up of 
thyself the nations were scattered.

4 And your spoil shall be gathered like the gathering of the 
caterpiller: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run upon them.

5 The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with 
judgment and righteousness.

6 And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and 
strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.

7 Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the ambassadors of peace 
shall weep bitterly.

8 The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: he hath broken the 
covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man.

9 The earth mourneth and languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed and hewn down: 
Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits.

10 Now will I rise, saith the LORD; now will I be exalted; now will I 
lift up myself.

11 Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath, 
as fire, shall devour you.

12 And the people shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut up 
shall they be burned in the fire.

13 Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, 
acknowledge my might.

14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the 
hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among 
us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?

15 He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that 
despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding 
of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth 
his eyes from seeing evil;

16 He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions 
of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.

17 Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the 
land that is very far off.

18 Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? where is the 
receiver? where is he that counted the towers?

19 Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than 
thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, that thou canst not understand.

20 Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see 
Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; 
not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any 
of the cords thereof be broken.

21 But there the glorious LORD will be unto us a place of broad rivers 
and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant 
ship pass thereby.

22 For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our 
king; he will save us.

23 Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, 
they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil 
divided; the lame take the prey.

24 And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell 
therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.

Isaiah Chapter 34

1 Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people: let the earth 
hear, and all that is therein; the world, and all things that come forth 
of it.

2 For the indignation of the LORD is upon all nations, and his fury upon 
all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them 
to the slaughter.

3 Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out 
of their carcases, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood.

4 And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall 
be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as 
the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree.

5 For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down 
upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment.

6 The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, it is made fat with 
fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the 
kidneys of rams: for the LORD hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great 
slaughter in the land of Idumea.

7 And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the 
bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made 
fat with fatness.

8 For it is the day of the LORD'S vengeance, and the year of recompences 
for the controversy of Zion.

9 And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust 
thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch.

10 It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up 
for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall 
pass through it for ever and ever.

11 But the cormorant and the bittern shall possess it; the owl also and 
the raven shall dwell in it: and he shall stretch out upon it the line 
of confusion, and the stones of emptiness.

12 They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none shall be 
there, and all her princes shall be nothing.

13 And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in the 
fortresses thereof: and it shall be an habitation of dragons, and a 
court for owls.

14 The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of 
the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also 
shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest.

15 There shall the great owl make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and 
gather under her shadow: there shall the vultures also be gathered, 
every one with her mate.

16 Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall 
fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his 
spirit it hath gathered them.

17 And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it unto 
them by line: they shall possess it for ever, from generation to 
generation shall they dwell therein.

Isaiah Chapter 35

1 The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the 
desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.

2 It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: 
the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel 
and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of 
our God.

3 Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.

4 Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, 
your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will 
come and save you.

5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf 
shall be unstopped.

6 Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb 
sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the 
desert.

7 And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land 
springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be 
grass with reeds and rushes.

8 And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The 
way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for 
those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.

9 No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it 
shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there:

10 And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with 
songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and 
gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
