Revised Version 1895
Isaiah 37:22-35
22this is the wordH1697 whichH834 the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 concerning him: The virginH1330 daughterH1323 of ZionH6726 hath despisedH959 thee and laughed thee to scorn; the daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389 hath shakenH5128 herH5921 headH7218 at thee.
23WhomH4310 hast thou reproached and blasphemedH1442? and againstH5921 whomH4310 hast thou exaltedH7311 thy voiceH6963 and liftedH5375 upH5375 thine eyesH5869 on highH4791? evenH853 againstH5921 the HolyH6918 One of IsraelH3478.
24By thy servantsH5650 hast thou reproached the LordH136, and hast saidH559, With the multitudeH7230 of my chariotsH7393 am I comeH935 upH5927 to the heightH6967 of the mountainsH2022, to the innermostH3411 partsH3411 of LebanonH3844; and I will cutH3772 downH3772 the tallH6967 cedarsH730 thereof, and the choiceH4005 firH1265 treesH1265 thereof: and I will enterH935 intoH935 his farthestH7093 heightH6967, the forestH3293 of his fruitfulH3759 fieldH3759.
25I have digged and drunkH8354 waterH4325, and with the soleH3709 of my feetH6471 will I dryH2717 upH8354 allH3605 the riversH2975 of EgyptH4693.
26Hast thou notH3808 heardH8085 howH6213 I have doneH6213 it longH3117 agoH7350, and formedH3335 it of ancient timesH3117? nowH6258 have I broughtH935 it to passH935, that thou shouldest be to layH1961 waste fenced citiesH5892 intoH935 ruinous heapsH1530.
27Therefore their inhabitantsH3427 were of small powerH3027, they were dismayedH2865 and confoundedH954; they were as the grassH2682 of the fieldH7704, and as the greenH3419 herbH6212, as the grassH2682 on the housetopsH1406, and as a fieldH7704 of corn beforeH6440 it be grownH7054 upH1961.
28But I knowH3045 thy sittingH3427 downH3427, and thy goingH3318 outH3318, and thy comingH935 in, and thy ragingH7264 againstH413 meH413.
29BecauseH3282 of thy ragingH7264 againstH413 meH413, and for that thine arrogancy is comeH935 upH5927 intoH413 mine earsH241, therefore will I putH7760 my hookH2397 in thy noseH639, and my bridleH4964 in thy lipsH8193, and I will turnH7725 thee backH7725 by the wayH1870 by whichH834 thou camest.
30And this shall be the signH226 unto thee: ye shall eatH398 this yearH8141 that whichH2088 groweth of itselfH2088, and in the secondH8145 yearH8141 that whichH2088 springeth of the sameH2088; and in the thirdH7992 yearH8141 sowH2232 ye, and reapH7114, and plantH5193 vineyardsH3754, and eatH398 the fruitH6529 thereof.
31And the remnantH7604 that is escapedH6413 of the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 shall againH3254 takeH3254 rootH8328 downwardH4295, and bear fruitH6529 upwardH4605.
32For outH3318 of JerusalemH3389 shall goH3318 forthH3318 a remnantH7611, and outH3318 of mountH2022 ZionH6726 they that shall escapeH6413: the zealH7068 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 shall performH6213 this.
33Therefore thusH3541 saith the LORDH3068 concerning the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, He shall notH3808 comeH935 unto this cityH5892, norH3808 shootH3384 an arrowH2671 there, neitherH3808 shall he comeH935 beforeH413 it with shieldH4043, norH3808 castH8210 a mount againstH5921 it.
34By the wayH1870 that he cameH935, by the same shall he returnH7725, and he shall notH3808 comeH935 unto this cityH5892, saith the LORDH3068.
35For I will defendH1598 this cityH5892 to saveH3467 it, for mine own sakeH4616, and for my servantH5650 David’sH1732 sakeH4616.
