CHAPTER 58
Isaiah 58:1
1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people
their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins. Isaiah 58:2
2 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did
righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the
ordinances  of justice;  they take delight  in approaching  to God. Isaiah 58:3
3 Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we
afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your
fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours. Isaiah 58:4
4 Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of
wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard
on high.
Isaiah 58:5
5 Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is
it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under
him? wilt thou call  this  a fast,  and an acceptable  day  to the LORD?
Isaiah 58:6
6 Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to
undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break
every yoke?
Isaiah 58:7
7 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that
are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and
that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? Isaiah 58:8
8 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall
spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of
the LORD shall be thy rereward.
Isaiah 58:9
9 Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall
say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting
forth of the finger, and speaking vanity; Isaiah 58:10
10 And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul;
then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday:
Isaiah 58:11
11 And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought,
and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a
spring of water, whose waters  fail  not. Isaiah 58:12
12 And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt
raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The
repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in. Isaiah 58:13
13 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my
holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; 
and shalt honour  him, not doing  thine own ways,  nor finding thine own
pleasure,  nor speaking  thine own words: Isaiah 58:14
14 Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride
upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy
father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. CHAPTER 59
Isaiah 59:1
1 Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his
ear heavy, that it cannot hear:
Isaiah 59:2
2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins
have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. Isaiah 59:3
3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your
lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness. Isaiah 59:4
4 None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity,
and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity. Isaiah 59:5
5 They hatch cockatrice' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of
their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper. Isaiah
59:6
6 Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves
with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is
in their hands.
Isaiah 59:7
7 Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their
thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths.
Isaiah 59:8
8 The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings:
they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know
peace.
Isaiah 59:9
9 Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait
for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness.
Isaiah 59:10
10 We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes: we
stumble at noonday as in the night; we are in desolate places as dead men.
Isaiah 59:11
11 We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but
there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us. Isaiah 59:12
12 For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify
against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we
know them;
Isaiah 59:13
13 In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing away from our
God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart
words  of falsehood.
Isaiah 59:14
14 And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for
truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. Isaiah 59:15
15 Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey:
and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment. Isaiah
59:16
16 And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no
intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his
righteousness, it sustained him.
Isaiah 59:17
17 For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation
upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was
clad with zeal as a cloke.
Isaiah 59:18
18 According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his
adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he will repay
recompence.
Isaiah 59:19
19 So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from
the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of
the LORD shall lift up a standard  against him. Isaiah 59:20
20 And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from
transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD. Isaiah 59:21
21 As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is
upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of
thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's
 seed,  saith  the LORD,  from henceforth and for  ever. CHAPTER 60
Isaiah 60:1
1 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon
thee.
Isaiah 60:2
2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the
people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon
thee.
Isaiah 60:3
3 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy
rising.
Isaiah 60:4
4 Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together,
they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be
nursed at thy side.
Isaiah 60:5
5 Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be
enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the
forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee. Isaiah 60:6
6 The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and
Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and
they shall shew forth the praises  of the LORD. Isaiah 60:7
7 All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of
Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine
altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory. Isaiah 60:8
8 Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows? Isaiah
60:9
9 Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring
thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the
LORD thy God,  and to the Holy One  of Israel,  because he hath glorified 
thee.
Isaiah 60:10
10 And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall
minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I had
mercy on thee.
Isaiah 60:11
11 Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day
nor night; that men may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and that
their kings may be brought.
Isaiah 60:12
12 For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those
nations shall be utterly wasted. Isaiah 60:13
13 The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir tree, the pine tree, and
the box together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the
place of my feet glorious.
Isaiah 60:14
14 The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and
all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet;
and they shall call thee, The city of the LORD, The Zion of the Holy One  of
Israel.
Isaiah 60:15
15 Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated, so that no man went through thee,
I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations. Isaiah 60:16
16 Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the breast of
kings: and thou shalt know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the
mighty One of Jacob.
Isaiah 60:17
17 For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood
brass, and for stones iron: I will also make thy officers peace,  and thine
exactors  righteousness.
Isaiah 60:18
18 Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within
thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise.
Isaiah 60:19
19 The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the
moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting
light, and thy God thy glory. Isaiah 60:20
20 Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for
the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall
be ended.
Isaiah 60:21
21 Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for
ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.
Isaiah 60:22
22 A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the
LORD will hasten it in his time.
