Basic HTML Version
flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand,
which
he had taken with the
tongs from off the altar:
7
And he laid
it
upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips;
and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.
8
Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying,
Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here
am
I; send me.
9
And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed,
but perceive not.
10
Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their
eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and
convert, and be healed.
11
Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted
without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,
12
And the L
ORD
have removed men far away, and
there be
a great forsaking in the midst of the land.
13
But yet in it
shall be
a tenth, and
it
shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an
oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast
their leaves: so
the holy seed
shall be
the substance
thereof.
CHAPTER 7
And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah,
that
Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem
to war against it, but could not prevail against it.
2
And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria
is confederate with Ephraim. And his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of
the wood are moved with the wind.
3
Then said the L
ORD
unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz,
thou, and Shear-jashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the
fuller’s field;
4
And say unto him, Take heed, and be quiet; fear not, neither be fainthearted for the
two tails of these smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the son of
Remaliah.
5
Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have taken evil counsel against thee,
saying,
6
Let us go up against Judah, and vex it, and let us make a breach therein for us, and set a
king in the midst of it,
even
the son of Tabeal:
7
Thus saith the Lord GOD, It shall not stand, neither
shall it come to pass.
8
For the head of Syria
is
Damascus, and the head of Damascus
is
Rezin; and
within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people.
9
And the head
of Ephraim
is
Samaria, and the head of Samaria
is
Remaliah’s son. If ye will not believe, surely ye
shall not be established.
10
Moreover the L
ORD
spake again unto Ahaz, saying,
11
Ask thee a sign of the L
ORD
thy God;
ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.
12
But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt
the L
ORD
.
13
And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David;
Is it
a small thing for you to weary men,
but will ye weary my God also?
14
Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a
virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
15
Butter and honey shall
he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.
16
For before the child shall know
