Isaiah
1-4
Isa
1:1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning
Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and
Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
Isa
1:2 Hear, heavens, and listen, earth; for Yahweh has spoken: I have
nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.
Isa
1:3 The ox knows his owner, and the donkey his master's crib; but
Israel doesn't know, my people don't consider.
Isa
1:4 Ah sinful nation, a people loaded with iniquity, a seed of
evildoers, children who deal corruptly! They have forsaken Yahweh.
They have despised the Holy One of Israel. They are estranged and
backward.
Isa
1:5 Why should you be beaten more, that you revolt more and more?
The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
Isa
1:6 From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness
in it: wounds, welts, and open sores. They haven't been closed,
neither bandaged, neither soothed with oil.
Isa
1:7 Your country is desolate. Your cities are burned with fire.
Strangers devour your land in your presence, and it is desolate, as
overthrown by strangers.
Isa
1:8 The daughter of Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard, like
a hut in a field of melons, like a besieged city.
Isa
1:9 Unless Yahweh of Armies had left to us a very small remnant, we
would have been as Sodom; we would have been like Gomorrah.
Isa
1:10 Hear the word of Yahweh, you rulers of Sodom! Listen to the law
of our God, you people of Gomorrah!
Isa
1:11 "What are the multitude of your sacrifices to me?,"
says Yahweh. "I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams,
and the fat of fed animals. I don't delight in the blood of bulls, or
of lambs, or of male goats.
Isa
1:12 When you come to appear before me, who has required this at
your hand, to trample my courts?
Isa
1:13 Bring no more vain offerings. Incense is an abomination to me;
new moons, Sabbaths, and convocations: I can't bear with evil
assemblies.
Isa
1:14 My soul hates your New Moons and your appointed feasts. They
are a burden to me. I am weary of bearing them.
Isa
1:15 When you spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you.
Yes, when you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full
of blood.
Isa
1:16 Wash yourselves, make yourself clean. Put away the evil of your
doings from before my eyes. Cease to do evil.
Isa
1:17 Learn to do well. Seek justice. Relieve the oppressed. Judge
the fatherless. Plead for the widow."
Isa
1:18 "Come now, and let us reason together," says Yahweh:
"Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.
Though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
Isa
1:19 If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the
land;
Isa
1:20 but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured with the
sword; for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken it."
Isa
1:21 How the faithful city has become a prostitute! She was full of
justice; righteousness lodged in her, but now murderers.
Isa
1:22 Your silver has become dross, your wine mixed with water.
Isa
1:23 Your princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves.
Everyone loves bribes, and follows after rewards. They don't judge
the fatherless, neither does the cause of the widow come to them.
Isa
1:24 Therefore the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, the Mighty One of Israel,
says: "Ah, I will get relief from my adversaries, and avenge
myself of my enemies;
Isa
1:25 and I will turn my hand on you, thoroughly purge away your
dross, and will take away all your tin.
Isa
1:26 I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counselors
as at the beginning. Afterward you shall be called 'The city of
righteousness, a faithful town.'
Isa
1:27 Zion shall be redeemed with justice, and her converts with
righteousness.
Isa
1:28 But the destruction of transgressors and sinners shall be
together, and those who forsake Yahweh shall be consumed.
Isa
1:29 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which you have desired,
and you shall be confounded for the gardens that you have chosen.
Isa
1:30 For you shall be as an oak whose leaf fades, and as a garden
that has no water.
Isa
1:31 The strong will be like tinder, and his work like a spark. They
will both burn together, and no one will quench them."
Isa
2:1 This is what Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and
Jerusalem.
Isa
2:2 It shall happen in the latter days, that the mountain of
Yahweh's house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and
shall be raised above the hills; and all nations shall flow to it.
Isa
2:3 Many peoples shall go and say, "Come, let's go up to the
mountain of Yahweh, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will
teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths." For out of
Zion the law shall go forth, and the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem.
Isa
2:4 He will judge between the nations, and will decide concerning
many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and
their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword
against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
Isa
2:5 House of Jacob, come, and let us walk in the light of Yahweh.
Isa
2:6 For you have forsaken your people, the house of Jacob, because
they are filled from the east, with those who practice divination
like the Philistines, and they clasp hands with the children of
foreigners.
Isa
2:7 Their land is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end
of their treasures. Their land also is full of horses, neither is
there any end of their chariots.
Isa
2:8 Their land also is full of idols. They worship the work of their
own hands, that which their own fingers have made.
Isa
2:9 Man is brought low, and mankind is humbled; therefore don't
forgive them.
Isa
2:10 Enter into the rock, and hide in the dust, from before the
terror of Yahweh, and from the glory of his majesty.
Isa
2:11 The lofty looks of man will be brought low, the haughtiness of
men will be bowed down, and Yahweh alone will be exalted in that day.
Isa
2:12 For there will be a day of Yahweh of Armies for all that is
proud and haughty, and for all that is lifted up; and it shall be
brought low:
Isa
2:13 For all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, for
all the oaks of Bashan,
Isa
2:14 For all the high mountains, for all the hills that are lifted
up,
Isa
2:15 For every lofty tower, for every fortified wall,
Isa
2:16 For all the ships of Tarshish, and for all pleasant imagery.
Isa
2:17 The loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness
of men shall be brought low; and Yahweh alone shall be exalted in
that day.
Isa
2:18 The idols shall utterly pass away.
Isa
2:19 Men shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of
the earth, from before the terror of Yahweh, and from the glory of
his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.
Isa
2:20 In that day, men shall cast away their idols of silver, and
their idols of gold, which have been made for themselves to worship,
to the moles and to the bats;
Isa
2:21 To go into the caverns of the rocks, and into the clefts of the
ragged rocks, from before the terror of Yahweh, and from the glory of
his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.
Isa
2:22 Stop trusting in man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for of
what account is he?
Isa
3:1 For, behold, the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, takes away from
Jerusalem and from Judah supply and support, the whole supply of
bread, and the whole supply of water;
Isa
3:2 the mighty man, the man of war, the judge, the prophet, the
diviner, the elder,
Isa
3:3 the captain of fifty, the honorable man, the counselor, the
skilled craftsman, and the clever enchanter.
Isa
3:4 I will give boys to be their princes, and children shall rule
over them.
Isa
3:5 The people will be oppressed, everyone by another, and everyone
by his neighbor. The child will behave himself proudly against the
old man, and the base against the honorable.
Isa
3:6 Indeed a man shall take hold of his brother in the house of his
father, saying, "You have clothing, you be our ruler, and let
this ruin be under your hand."
Isa
3:7 In that day he will cry out, saying, I will not be a healer; for
in my house is neither bread nor clothing. You shall not make me
ruler of the people.
Isa
3:8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen; because their
tongue and their doings are against Yahweh, to provoke the eyes of
his glory.
Isa
3:9 The look of their faces testify against them. They parade their
sin like Sodom. They don't hide it. Woe to their soul! For they have
brought disaster upon themselves.
Isa
3:10 Tell the righteous "Good!" For they shall eat the
fruit of their deeds.
Isa
3:11 Woe to the wicked! Disaster is upon them; for the deeds of his
hands will be paid back to him.
Isa
3:12 As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule
over them. My people, those who lead you cause you to err, and
destroy the way of your paths.
Isa
3:13 Yahweh stands up to contend, and stands to judge the peoples.
Isa
3:14 Yahweh will enter into judgment with the elders of his people,
and their leaders: "It is you who have eaten up the vineyard.
The spoil of the poor is in your houses.
Isa
3:15 What do you mean that you crush my people, and grind the face
of the poor?" says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies.
Isa
3:16 Moreover Yahweh said, "Because the daughters of Zion are
haughty, and walk with outstretched necks and flirting eyes, walking
to trip as they go, jingling ornaments on their feet;
Isa
3:17 therefore the Lord brings sores on the crown of the head of the
women of Zion, and Yahweh will make their scalps bald."
Isa
3:18 In that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their
anklets, the headbands, the crescent necklaces,
Isa
3:19 the earrings, the bracelets, the veils,
Isa
3:20 the headdresses, the ankle chains, the sashes, the perfume
bottles, the charms,
Isa
3:21 the signet rings, the nose rings,
Isa
3:22 the fine robes, the capes, the cloaks, the purses,
Isa
3:23 the hand mirrors, the fine linen garments, the tiaras, and the
shawls.
Isa
3:24 It shall happen that instead of sweet spices, there shall be
rottenness; instead of a belt, a rope; instead of well set hair,
baldness; instead of a robe, a girding of sackcloth; and branding
instead of beauty.
Isa
3:25 Your men shall fall by the sword, and your mighty in the war.
Isa
3:26 Her gates shall lament and mourn; and she shall be desolate and
sit on the ground.
Isa
4:1 Seven women shall take hold of one man in that day, saying, "We
will eat our own bread, and wear our own clothing: only let us be
called by your name. Take away our reproach."
Isa
4:2 In that day, Yahweh's branch will be beautiful and glorious, and
the fruit of the land will be the beauty and glory of the survivors
of Israel.
Isa
4:3 It will happen, that he who is left in Zion, and he who remains
in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even everyone who is written
among the living in Jerusalem;
Isa
4:4 when the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters
of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from its midst,
by the spirit of justice, and by the spirit of burning.
Isa
4:5 Yahweh will create over the whole habitation of Mount Zion, and
over her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a
flaming fire by night; for over all the glory will be a canopy.
Isa
4:6 There will be a pavilion for a shade in the daytime from the
heat, and for a refuge and for a shelter from storm and from rain.

The
Composite
Bible
is
a effort to understand the Bible by considering it from different
perspectives and different levels of literalcy. First, read the
World English Bible (the least literal-black
text)
for comprehension of the text. Next, read both the World English
Bible with the Darby Translation (more literal-blue
text)to
make comparisons and lastly, read all three versions (Young's is the
most literal translation-
red text)
at one time to obtain an overview of the text. Doing this will make
you think about what
the
Scriptures are actually saying and avoid reading in a superficial
manner.

1 Thessalonians 4
1Th 4:1 Finally then,
brothers, we beg and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you
received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, that you
abound more and more.
1Th 4:2 For you know
what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus.
1Th 4:3 For this is the
will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual
immorality,
1Th 4:4 that each one
of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in
sanctification and honor,
1Th 4:5 not in the
passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don't know God;
1Th 4:6 that no one
should take advantage of and wrong a brother or sister in this
matter; because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as also
we forewarned you and testified.
1Th 4:7 For God called
us not for uncleanness, but in sanctification.
1Th 4:8 Therefore he
who rejects this doesn't reject man, but God, who has also given his
Holy Spirit to you.
1Th 4:9 But concerning
brotherly love, you have no need that one write to you. For you
yourselves are taught by God to love one another,
1Th 4:10 for indeed you
do it toward all the brothers who are in all Macedonia. But we exhort
you, brothers, that you abound more and more;
1Th 4:11 and that you
make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, and to do your own
business, and to work with your own hands, even as we instructed you;
1Th 4:12 that you may
walk properly toward those who are outside, and may have need of
nothing.
1Th 4:13 But we don't
want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who have fallen
asleep, so that you don't grieve like the rest, who have no hope.
1Th 4:14 For if we
believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with
him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.
1Th 4:15 For this we
tell you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left
to the coming of the Lord, will in no way precede those who have
fallen asleep.
1Th 4:16 For the Lord
himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the
archangel, and with God's trumpet. The dead in Christ will rise
first,
1Th 4:17 then we who
are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the
clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. So we will be with the Lord
forever.
1Th 4:18 Therefore
comfort one another with these words.

at one time to obtain an overview of the text. Doing this will make

ye do it also to all the brethren who [are] in all Macedonia; and we
call upon
you,
brethren, to abound still more,
1
Thessalonians 4 11
and
that you make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, and to do your
own business, and to work with your own hands, even as we charged you;
and
to seek earnestly to be quiet and mind your own affairs, and work
with your [own]
hands,
even as we charged you,
and
to study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with
your own
hands,
as we did command you,
1
Thessalonians 4 12
that
you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and may have need
of nothing.
that
ye may walk reputably towards those without, and may have need of no
one.
that
ye may walk becomingly unto those without, and may have lack of
nothing.
1
Thessalonians 4 13
But
we don`t want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who have
fallen asleep, so that you
don`t grieve like the rest, who have no hope.
But
we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them that
are fallen asleep,
to
the end that ye be not grieved even as also the rest who have no
hope.
And
I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who
have fallen
asleep,
that ye may not sorrow, as also the rest who have not hope,
1
Thessalonians 4 14
For
if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so those who have
fallen asleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
For
if we believe that Jesus has died and has risen again, so also God
will bring with him
those
who have fallen asleep through Jesus.
for
if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also God those
asleep through
Jesus
he will bring with him,
1
Thessalonians 4 15
For
this we tell you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who
are left to the coming of the
Lord, will in no way precede those who have fallen asleep.
(For
this we say to you in [the] word of [the] Lord, that *we*, the
living, who remain to the
coming of the Lord, are in no way to anticipate those who have
fallen asleep;
for
this to you we say in the word of the Lord, that we who are living
-- who do
remain
over to the presence of the Lord -- may not precede those asleep,
1
Thessalonians 4 16
For
the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the
voice of the archangel, and with God`s trumpet. The dead in Christ will rise first,
for
the Lord himself, with an assembling shout, with archangel`s voice
and with trump of
God, shall descend from heaven; and the dead in Christ shall rise
first;
because
the Lord himself, in a shout, in the voice of a chief-messenger, and
in the
trump
of God, shall come down from heaven, and the dead in Christ shall
rise first,
1
Thessalonians 4 17
then
we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them
in the clouds, to meet the
Lord in the air. So we will be with the Lord forever.
then
*we*, the living who remain, shall be caught up together with them
in [the] clouds,
to
meet the Lord in [the] air; and thus we shall be always with [the]
Lord.
then
we who are living, who are remaining over, together with them shall
be
caught
away in clouds to meet the Lord in air, and so always with the Lord
we shall
be;
1
Thessalonians 4 18
Therefore

So

so,
then, comfort ye one another in these words.
