ISAIAH
34.5
- Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?'
- 15He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly;
- He that despiseth the gain of oppressions,
- That shaketh his hands from holding of bribes,
- That stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood,
- And shutteth his eyes from looking upon evil;
- 16He shall dwell on high;
- His place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks;
- His bread shall be given, his waters shall be sure.
- 17Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty;
- They shall behold a land stretching afar.
- 18Thy heart shall muse on the terror:
- 'Where is he that counted, where is he that weighed?
- Where is he that counted the towers?'
- 19Thou shalt not see the fierce people;
- A people of a deep speech that thou canst not perceive,
- Of a stammering tongue that thou canst not understand.
- 20Look upon Zion, the city of our solemn gatherings;
- Thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a peaceful habitation,
- A tent that shall not be removed,
- The stakes whereof shall never be plucked up,
- Neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.
- 21But there the Lord will be with us in majesty,
- In a place of broad rivers and streams;
- Wherein shall go no galley with oars,
- Neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.
- 22For the Lord is our Judge,
- The Lord is our Lawgiver,
- The Lord is our King;
- He will save us.
- 23Thy tacklings are loosed;
- They do not hold the stand of their mast,
- They do not spread the sail;
- Then is the prey of a great spoil divided;
- The lame take the prey.
- 24And the inhabitant shall not say: 'I am sick';
- The people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.
- 34Come near, ye nations, to hear, And attend, ye peoples;
- Let the earth hear, and the fulness thereof,
- The world, and all things that come forth of it.
- 2For the Lord hath indignation against all the nations,
- And fury against all their host;
- He hath utterly destroyed them,
- He hath delivered them to the slaughter.
- 3Their slain also shall be cast out,
- And the stench of their carcasses shall come up,
- And the mountains shall be melted with their blood.
- 4And all the host of heaven shall moulder away,
- 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.
- 5For My sword hath drunk its fill in heaven;
- Behold, it shall come down upon Edom,
