Isaiah 9:8-21

8The LordH136 sentH7971 a wordH1697 into JacobH3290, and it hath lightedH5307 upon IsraelH3478. 9And all the peopleH5971 shall knowH3045, even EphraimH669 and the inhabitantH3427 of SamariaH8111, that sayH559 in the prideH1346 and stoutnessH1433 of heartH3824, 10The bricksH3843 are fallen downH5307, but we will buildH1129 with hewn stonesH1496: the sycomoresH8256 are cut downH1438, but we will changeH2498 them into cedarsH730. 11Therefore YhwhH3068 shall set upH7682 the adversariesH6862 of RezinH7526 against him, and joinH5526 his enemiesH341 togetherH5526;1 12The SyriansH758 beforeH6924, and the PhilistinesH6430 behindH268; and they shall devourH398 IsraelH3478 with open mouthH6310. For all this his angerH639 is not turned awayH7725, but his handH3027 is stretched out stillH5186.2

13For the peopleH5971 turnethH7725 not unto him that smitethH5221 them, neither do they seekH1875 YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635. 14Therefore YhwhH3068 will cut offH3772 from IsraelH3478 headH7218 and tailH2180, branchH3712 and rushH100, in oneH259 dayH3117. 15The ancientH2205 and honourableH5375H6440, heH1931 is the headH7218; and the prophetH5030 that teachethH3384 liesH8267, he is the tailH2180. 16For the leadersH833 of this peopleH5971 cause them to errH8582; and they that are ledH833 of them are destroyedH1104.345 17Therefore the LordH136 shall have no joyH8055 in their young menH970, neither shall have mercyH7355 on their fatherlessH3490 and widowsH490: for every one is an hypocriteH2611 and an evildoerH7489, and every mouthH6310 speakethH1696 follyH5039. For all this his angerH639 is not turned awayH7725, but his handH3027 is stretched out stillH5186.6

18For wickednessH7564 burnethH1197 as the fireH784: it shall devourH398 the briersH8068 and thornsH7898, and shall kindleH3341 in the thicketsH5442 of the forestH3293, and they shall mount upH55 like the lifting upH1348 of smokeH6227. 19Through the wrathH5678 of YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635 is the landH776 darkenedH6272, and the peopleH5971 shall be as the fuelH3980 of the fireH784: no manH376 shall spareH2550 his brotherH251.7 20And he shall snatchH1504 on the right handH3225, and be hungryH7457; and he shall eatH398 on the left handH8040, and they shall not be satisfiedH7646: they shall eatH398 every manH376 the fleshH1320 of his own armH2220:8 21ManassehH4519, EphraimH669; and EphraimH669, ManassehH4519: and they togetherH3162 shall be against JudahH3063. For all this his angerH639 is not turned awayH7725, but his handH3027 is stretched out stillH5186.
