Isaiah
17-20
Isa
17:1 The burden of Damascus: "Behold, Damascus is taken away
from being a city, and it will be a ruinous heap.
Isa
17:2 The cities of Aroer are forsaken. They will be for flocks,
which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
Isa
17:3 The fortress shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from
Damascus, and the remnant of Syria. They will be as the glory of the
children of Israel," says Yahweh of Armies.
Isa
17:4 "It will happen in that day that the glory of Jacob will
be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh will become lean.
Isa
17:5 It will be like when the harvester gathers the wheat, and his
arm reaps the grain. Yes, it will be like when one gleans grain in
the valley of Rephaim.
Isa
17:6 Yet gleanings will be left there, like the shaking of an olive
tree, two or three olives in the top of the uppermost bough, four or
five in the outermost branches of a fruitful tree," says Yahweh,
the God of Israel.
Isa
17:7 In that day, people will look to their Maker, and their eyes
will have respect for the Holy One of Israel.
Isa
17:8 They will not look to the altars, the work of their hands;
neither shall they respect that which their fingers have made, either
the Asherim, or the incense altars.
Isa
17:9 In that day, their strong cities will be like the forsaken
places in the woods and on the mountain top, which were forsaken from
before the children of Israel; and it will be a desolation.
Isa
17:10 For you have forgotten the God of your salvation, and have not
remembered the rock of your strength. Therefore you plant pleasant
plants, and set out foreign seedlings.
Isa
17:11 In the day of your planting, you hedge it in. In the morning,
you make your seed blossom, but the harvest flees away in the day of
grief and of desperate sorrow.
Isa
17:12 Ah, the uproar of many peoples, who roar like the roaring of
the seas; and the rushing of nations, that rush like the rushing of
mighty waters!
Isa
17:13 The nations will rush like the rushing of many waters: but he
will rebuke them, and they will flee far off, and will be chased like
the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like the whirling
dust before the storm.
Isa
17:14 At evening, behold, terror! Before the morning, they are no
more. This is the portion of those who plunder us, and the lot of
those who rob us.
Isa
18:1 Ah, the land of the rustling of wings, which is beyond the
rivers of Ethiopia;
Isa
18:2 that sends ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of papyrus
on the waters, saying, "Go, you swift messengers, to a nation
tall and smooth, to a people awesome from their beginning onward, a
nation that measures out and treads down, whose land the rivers
divide!"
Isa
18:3 All you inhabitants of the world, and you dwellers on the
earth, when a banner is lifted up on the mountains, look! When the
trumpet is blown, listen!
Isa
18:4 For Yahweh said to me, "I will be still, and I will see in
my dwelling place, like clear heat in sunshine, like a cloud of dew
in the heat of harvest."
Isa
18:5 For before the harvest, when the blossom is over, and the
flower becomes a ripening grape, he will cut off the sprigs with
pruning hooks, and he will cut down and take away the spreading
branches.
Isa
18:6 They will be left together for the ravenous birds of the
mountains, and for the animals of the earth. The ravenous birds will
summer on them, and all the animals of the earth will winter on them.
Isa
18:7 In that time, a present will be brought to Yahweh of Armies
from a people tall and smooth, even from a people awesome from their
beginning onward, a nation that measures out and treads down, whose
land the rivers divide, to the place of the name of Yahweh of Armies,
Mount Zion.
Isa
19:1 The burden of Egypt: "Behold, Yahweh rides on a swift
cloud, and comes to Egypt. The idols of Egypt will tremble at his
presence; and the heart of Egypt will melt in its midst.
Isa
19:2 I will stir up the Egyptians against the Egyptians, and they
will fight everyone against his brother, and everyone against his
neighbor; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.
Isa
19:3 The spirit of Egypt will fail in its midst. I will destroy its
counsel. They will seek the idols, the charmers, those who have
familiar spirits, and the wizards.
Isa
19:4 I will give over the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel lord. A
fierce king will rule over them," says the Lord, Yahweh of
Armies.
Isa
19:5 The waters will fail from the sea, and the river will be wasted
and become dry.
Isa
19:6 The rivers will become foul. The streams of Egypt will be
diminished and dried up. The reeds and flags will wither away.
Isa
19:7 The meadows by the Nile, by the brink of the Nile, and all the
sown fields of the Nile, will become dry, be driven away, and be no
more.
Isa
19:8 The fishermen will lament, and all those who fish in the Nile
will mourn, and those who spread nets on the waters will languish.
Isa
19:9 Moreover those who work in combed flax, and those who weave
white cloth, will be confounded.
Isa
19:10 The pillars will be broken in pieces. All those who work for
hire will be grieved in soul.
Isa
19:11 The princes of Zoan are utterly foolish. The counsel of the
wisest counselors of Pharaoh has become stupid. How do you say to
Pharaoh, "I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?"
Isa
19:12 Where then are your wise men? Let them tell you now; and let
them know what Yahweh of Armies has purposed concerning Egypt.
Isa
19:13 The princes of Zoan have become fools. The princes of Memphis
are deceived. They have caused Egypt to go astray, who are the
cornerstone of her tribes.
Isa
19:14 Yahweh has mixed a spirit of perverseness in the midst of her;
and they have caused Egypt to go astray in all of its works, like a
drunken man staggers in his vomit.
Isa
19:15 Neither shall there be for Egypt any work, which head or tail,
palm branch or rush, may do.
Isa
19:16 In that day the Egyptians will be like women. They will
tremble and fear because of the shaking of the hand of Yahweh of
Armies, which he shakes over them.
Isa
19:17 The land of Judah will become a terror to Egypt. Everyone to
whom mention is made of it will be afraid, because of the plans of
Yahweh of Armies, which he determines against it.
Isa
19:18 In that day, there will be five cities in the land of Egypt
that speak the language of Canaan, and swear to Yahweh of Armies. One
will be called "The city of destruction."
Isa
19:19 In that day, there will be an altar to Yahweh in the midst of
the land of Egypt, and a pillar to Yahweh at its border.
Isa
19:20 It will be for a sign and for a witness to Yahweh of Armies in
the land of Egypt; for they will cry to Yahweh because of oppressors,
and he will send them a savior and a defender, and he will deliver
them.
Isa
19:21 Yahweh will be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians will know
Yahweh in that day. Yes, they will worship with sacrifice and
offering, and will vow a vow to Yahweh, and will perform it.
Isa
19:22 Yahweh will strike Egypt, striking and healing. They will
return to Yahweh, and he will be entreated by them, and will heal
them.
Isa
19:23 In that day there will be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria,
and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into
Assyria; and the Egyptians will worship with the Assyrians.
Isa
19:24 In that day, Israel will be the third with Egypt and with
Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth;
Isa
19:25 because Yahweh of Armies has blessed them, saying, "Blessed
be Egypt my people, Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel my
inheritance."
Isa
20:1 In the year that Tartan came to Ashdod, when Sargon the king of
Assyria sent him, and he fought against Ashdod and took it;
Isa
20:2 at that time Yahweh spoke by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying,
"Go, and loosen the sackcloth from off your waist, and take your
shoes from off your feet." He did so, walking naked and
barefoot.
Isa
20:3 Yahweh said, "As my servant Isaiah has walked naked and
barefoot three years for a sign and a wonder concerning Egypt and
concerning Ethiopia,
Isa
20:4 so the king of Assyria will lead away the captives of Egypt and
the exiles of Ethiopia, young and old, naked and barefoot, and with
buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.
Isa
20:5 They will be dismayed and confounded, because of Ethiopia their
expectation, and of Egypt their glory.
Isa
20:6 The inhabitants of this coast land will say in that day,
'Behold, this is our expectation, where we fled for help to be
delivered from the king of Assyria. And we, how will we escape?' "

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.

name
of Jehovah of Hosts -- mount Zion!`

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.
