Revised Version 1895
Isaiah 9:8-21
8The Lord sentH559 a wordH559 into JacobH559, and it hath lighted uponH3427 IsraelH5971. 9And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in pride and in stoutness of heart, 10The bricks are fallen, but we will build with hewn stone: the sycomores are cut downH5921, but we will change them intoH5921 cedars. 11Therefore the LORD shall setH7725 upH853 on highH5186 againstH3027 him the adversaries of Rezin, and shall stir upH853 his enemies; 12the Syrians beforeH5704, and the Philistines behind, and they shall devour IsraelH5971 with open mouth. For allH5704 this his anger is notH3808 turnedH7725 awayH7725, but his hand is stretched outH853 stillH7725. 13Yet the people hath not turned unto him that smote them, neither have they sought the LORDH3068 of hosts. 14Therefore the LORD will cut offH5375 from Israel headH7218 and tailH2180, palm-branch and rush, in one day. 15The ancient and the honourable man, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth liesH1961, he is the tail. 16For they that lead this peopleH3808 causeH7725 them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed. 17Therefore the Lord shall notH3588 rejoice over their young men, neither shall he have compassion on their fatherless and widows: for every one is profane and an evil-doer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For allH398 this his anger is notH3588 turned awayH398, but his hand is stretched outH784 still. 18For wickedness burneth as the fireH784; it devoureth the briers and thorns: yea, it kindleth in the thickets of the forest, and they roll upward in thick clouds of smoke. 19ThroughH5921 the wrath of the LORDH3225 of hosts is the land burnt upH5921: the peopleH376 also are as the fuel of fireH398; noH3808 manH376 spareth his brother. 20And one shall snatch on the right handH3027, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the leftH7725 handH3027, and they shall notH3808 be satisfied: they shall eat everyH3605 manH3605 the flesh of his own armH3027: 21Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh: and they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
