CHAPTER 34
Isaiah 34:1
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.
Isaiah 34:2
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.
Isaiah 34:3
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. Isaiah 34:4
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. Isaiah 34:5
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. Isaiah 34:6
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.
Isaiah 34:7
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.
Isaiah 34:8
8 For it is the day of the LORD'S vengeance, and the year of recompences for
the controversy of Zion.
Isaiah 34:9
9 And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into
brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch. Isaiah 34:10
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.
Isaiah 34:11
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. Isaiah 34:12
12 They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none shall be there,
and all her princes shall be nothing. Isaiah 34:13
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.
Isaiah 34:14
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. Isaiah 34:15
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.
Isaiah 34:16
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.
Isaiah 34:17
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.
CHAPTER 35
Isaiah 35:1
1 The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert
shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. Isaiah 35:2
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.
Isaiah 35:3
3 Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. Isaiah 35:4
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.
Isaiah 35:5
5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be
unstopped.
Isaiah 35:6
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. Isaiah
35:7
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.
Isaiah 35:8
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. Isaiah 35:9
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: Isaiah 35:10
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. CHAPTER 36
Isaiah 36:1
1 Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib
king of Assyria came up against all the defenced cities of Judah, and took
them.
Isaiah 36:2
2 And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem unto king
Hezekiah with a great army. And he stood by the conduit of the upper  pool in
the highway  of the fuller's  field. Isaiah 36:3
3 Then came forth unto him Eliakim, Hilkiah's son, which was over the house,
and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, Asaph's son, the recorder. Isaiah 36:4
4 And Rabshakeh said unto them, Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great
king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest?
Isaiah 36:5
5 I say, sayest thou, (but they are but vain words) I have counsel and strength
for war: now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?
Isaiah 36:6
6 Lo, thou trustest in the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt; whereon if a
man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt 
to all that trust  in him.
Isaiah 36:7
7 But if thou say to me, We trust in the LORD our God: is it not he, whose high
places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and said to Judah and to
Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before  this altar? Isaiah 36:8
8 Now therefore give pledges, I pray thee, to my master the king of Assyria,
and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set
riders upon them.
Isaiah 36:9
9 How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my
master's servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
Isaiah 36:10
10 And am I now come up without the LORD against this land to destroy it? the
LORD said unto me, Go up against this land, and destroy it. Isaiah 36:11
11 Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee,
unto thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and speak not
to us in the Jews' language, in the ears of the people  that are on the wall.
Isaiah 36:12
12 But Rabshakeh said, Hath my master sent me to thy master and to thee to
speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men that sit upon the wall, that
they may eat their own dung, and drink  their own piss  with you? Isaiah 36:13
13 Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and
said, Hear ye the words of the great king, the king of Assyria. Isaiah 36:14
14 Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he shall not be able
to deliver you.
Isaiah 36:15
15 Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, The LORD will
surely deliver us: this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king
of Assyria.
Isaiah 36:16
16 Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make an
agreement with me by a present, and come out to me: and eat ye every one of his
vine, and every one of his fig tree,  and drink  ye every one  the waters  of
his own cistern;
Isaiah 36:17
17 Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn
and wine, a land of bread and vineyards. Isaiah 36:18
18 Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, The LORD will deliver us. Hath
any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king
of Assyria?
Isaiah 36:19
19 Where are the gods of Hamath and Arphad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim?
and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand? Isaiah 36:20
20 Who are they among all the gods of these lands, that have delivered their
land out of my hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
Isaiah 36:21
21 But they held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king's
commandment was, saying, Answer him not. Isaiah 36:22
22 Then came Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, that was over the household, and
Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, to Hezekiah with
their clothes  rent,  and told  him the words  of Rabshakeh.
