Isaiah
5-8
Isa
5:1 Let me sing for my well beloved a song of my beloved about his
vineyard. My beloved had a vineyard on a very fruitful hill.
Isa
5:2 He dug it up, gathered out its stones, planted it with the
choicest vine, built a tower in its midst, and also cut out a
winepress therein. He looked for it to yield grapes, but it yielded
wild grapes.
Isa
5:3 "Now, inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, please
judge between me and my vineyard.
Isa
5:4 What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not
done in it? Why, when I looked for it to yield grapes, did it yield
wild grapes?
Isa
5:5 Now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard. I will take
away its hedge, and it will be eaten up. I will break down its wall
of it, and it will be trampled down.
Isa
5:6 I will lay it a wasteland. It won't be pruned nor hoed, but it
will grow briers and thorns. I will also command the clouds that they
rain no rain on it."
Isa
5:7 For the vineyard of Yahweh of Armies is the house of Israel, and
the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for justice, but,
behold, oppression; for righteousness, but, behold, a cry of
distress.
Isa
5:8 Woe to those who join house to house, who lay field to field,
until there is no room, and you are made to dwell alone in the midst
of the land!
Isa
5:9 In my ears, Yahweh of Armies says: "Surely many houses will
be desolate, even great and beautiful, unoccupied.
Isa
5:10 For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of
seed shall yield an ephah."
Isa
5:11 Woe to those who rise up early in the morning, that they may
follow strong drink; who stay late into the night, until wine
inflames them!
Isa
5:12 The harp, lyre, tambourine, and flute, with wine, are at their
feasts; but they don't regard the work of Yahweh, neither have they
considered the operation of his hands.
Isa
5:13 Therefore my people go into captivity for lack of knowledge.
Their honorable men are famished, and their multitudes are parched
with thirst.
Isa
5:14 Therefore Sheol has enlarged its desire, and opened its mouth
without measure; and their glory, their multitude, their pomp, and he
who rejoices among them, descend into it.
Isa
5:15 So man is brought low, mankind is humbled, and the eyes of the
arrogant ones are humbled;
Isa
5:16 but Yahweh of Armies is exalted in justice, and God the Holy
One is sanctified in righteousness.
Isa
5:17 Then the lambs will graze as in their pasture, and strangers
will eat the ruins of the rich.
Isa
5:18 Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, and
wickedness as with cart rope;
Isa
5:19 Who say, "Let him make speed, let him hasten his work,
that we may see it; and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel
draw near and come, that we may know it!"
Isa
5:20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put
darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet,
and sweet for bitter!
Isa
5:21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in
their own sight!
Isa
5:22 Woe to those who are mighty to drink wine, and champions at
mixing strong drink;
Isa
5:23 who acquit the guilty for a bribe, but deny justice for the
innocent!
Isa
5:24 Therefore as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and as the
dry grass sinks down in the flame, so their root shall be as
rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust; because they have
rejected the law of Yahweh of Armies, and despised the word of the
Holy One of Israel.
Isa
5:25 Therefore Yahweh's anger burns against his people, and he has
stretched out his hand against them, and has struck them. The
mountains tremble, and their dead bodies are as refuse in the midst
of the streets. For all this, his anger is not turned away, but his
hand is still stretched out.
Isa
5:26 He will lift up a banner to the nations from far, and he will
whistle for them from the end of the earth. Behold, they will come
speedily and swiftly.
Isa
5:27 None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber
nor sleep; neither shall the belt of their waist be untied, nor the
latchet of their shoes be broken:
Isa
5:28 whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent. Their horses'
hoofs will be like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind.
Isa
5:29 Their roaring will be like a lioness. They will roar like young
lions. Yes, they shall roar, and seize their prey and carry it off,
and there will be no one to deliver.
Isa
5:30 They will roar against them in that day like the roaring of the
sea. If one looks to the land behold, darkness and distress. The
light is darkened in its clouds.
Isa
6:1 In the year that king Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a
throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple.
Isa
6:2 Above him stood the seraphim. Each one had six wings. With two
he covered his face. With two he covered his feet. With two he flew.
Isa
6:3 One called to another, and said, "Holy, holy, holy, is
Yahweh of Armies! The whole earth is full of his glory!"
Isa
6:4 The foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who
called, and the house was filled with smoke.
Isa
6:5 Then I said, "Woe is me! For I am undone, because I am a
man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean
lips: for my eyes have seen the King, Yahweh of Armies!"
Isa
6:6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having a live coal in his
hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar.
Isa
6:7 He touched my mouth with it, and said, "Behold, this has
touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away, and your sin
forgiven."
Isa
6:8 I heard the Lord's voice, saying, "Whom shall I send, and
who will go for us?" Then I said, "Here I am. Send me!"
Isa
6:9 He said, "Go, and tell this people, 'You hear indeed, but
don't understand; and you see indeed, but don't perceive.'
Isa
6:10 Make the heart of this people fat. Make their ears heavy, and
shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their
ears, and understand with their heart, and turn again, and be
healed."
Isa
6:11 Then I said, "Lord, how long?" He answered, "Until
cities are waste without inhabitant, and houses without man, and the
land becomes utterly waste,
Isa
6:12 And Yahweh has removed men far away, and the forsaken places
are many in the midst of the land.
Isa
6:13 If there is a tenth left in it, that also will in turn be
consumed: as a terebinth, and as an oak, whose stock remains when
they are felled; so the holy seed is its stock."
Isa
7:1 It happened in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of
Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the
son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to war against
it, but could not prevail against it.
Isa
7:2 It was told the house of David, saying, "Syria is allied
with Ephraim." His heart trembled, and the heart of his people,
as the trees of the forest tremble with the wind.
Isa
7:3 Then Yahweh said to Isaiah, "Go out now to meet Ahaz, you,
and Shearjashub your son, at the end of the conduit of the upper
pool, on the highway of the fuller's field.
Isa
7:4 Tell him, 'Be careful, and keep calm. Don't be afraid, neither
let your heart be faint because of these two tails of smoking
firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and of the son
of Remaliah.
Isa
7:5 Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have plotted
evil against you, saying,
Isa
7:6 "Let's go up against Judah, and tear it apart, and let's
divide it among ourselves, and set up a king in its midst, even the
son of Tabeel."
Isa
7:7 This is what the Lord Yahweh says: "It shall not stand,
neither shall it happen."
Isa
7:8 For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is
Rezin; and within sixty-five years Ephraim shall be broken in pieces,
so that it shall not be a people;
Isa
7:9 and the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is
Remaliah's son. If you will not believe, surely you shall not be
established.' "
Isa
7:10 Yahweh spoke again to Ahaz, saying,
Isa
7:11 "Ask a sign of Yahweh your God; ask it either in the
depth, or in the height above."
Isa
7:12 But Ahaz said, "I will not ask, neither will I tempt
Yahweh."
Isa
7:13 He said, "Listen now, house of David: Is it not enough for
you to try the patience of men, that you will try the patience of my
God also?
Isa
7:14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the
virgin will conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name
Immanuel.
Isa
7:15 He shall eat butter and honey when he knows to refuse the evil,
and choose the good.
Isa
7:16 For before the child knows to refuse the evil, and choose the
good, the land whose two kings you abhor shall be forsaken.
Isa
7:17 Yahweh will bring on you, on your people, and on your father's
house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed
from Judah; even the king of Assyria.
Isa
7:18 It will happen in that day that Yahweh will whistle for the fly
that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee
that is in the land of Assyria.
Isa
7:19 They shall come, and shall all rest in the desolate valleys, in
the clefts of the rocks, on all thorn hedges, and on all pastures.
Isa
7:20 In that day the Lord will shave with a razor that is hired in
the parts beyond the River, even with the king of Assyria, the head
and the hair of the feet; and it shall also consume the beard.
Isa
7:21 It shall happen in that day that a man shall keep alive a young
cow, and two sheep;
Isa
7:22 and it shall happen, that because of the abundance of milk
which they shall give he shall eat butter: for everyone will eat
butter and honey that is left in the midst of the land.
Isa
7:23 It will happen in that day that every place where there were a
thousand vines at a thousand silver shekels, shall be for briers and
thorns.
Isa
7:24 People will go there with arrows and with bow, because all the
land will be briers and thorns.
Isa
7:25 All the hills that were cultivated with the hoe, you shall not
come there for fear of briers and thorns; but it shall be for the
sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of sheep."
Isa
8:1 Yahweh said to me, "Take a large tablet, and write on it
with a man's pen, 'For Maher Shalal Hash Baz;'
Isa
8:2 and I will take for myself faithful witnesses to testify: Uriah
the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah."
Isa
8:3 I went to the prophetess, and she conceived, and bore a son.
Then said Yahweh to me, "Call his name 'Maher Shalal Hash Baz.'
Isa
8:4 For before the child knows how to say, 'My father,' and, 'My
mother,' the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria will be
carried away by the king of Assyria."
Isa
8:5 Yahweh spoke to me yet again, saying,
Isa
8:6 "Because this people have refused the waters of Shiloah
that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah's son;
Isa
8:7 now therefore, behold, the Lord brings upon them the mighty
flood waters of the River: the king of Assyria and all his glory. It
will come up over all its channels, and go over all its banks.
Isa
8:8 It will sweep onward into Judah. It will overflow and pass
through; it will reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of
its wings will fill the breadth of your land, Immanuel.
Isa
8:9 Make an uproar, you peoples, and be broken in pieces! Listen,
all you from far countries: dress for battle, and be shattered! Dress
for battle, and be shattered!
Isa
8:10 Take counsel together, and it will be brought to nothing; speak
the word, and it will not stand: for God is with us."
Isa
8:11 For Yahweh spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed
me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,
Isa
8:12 "Don't say, 'A conspiracy!' concerning all about which
this people say, 'A conspiracy!' neither fear their threats, nor be
terrorized.
Isa
8:13 Yahweh of Armies is who you must regard as holy. He is the one
you must fear. He is the one you must dread.
Isa
8:14 He will be a sanctuary, but for both houses of Israel, he will
be a trap and a snare for the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Isa
8:15 Many will stumble over it, fall, be broken, be snared, and be
captured."
Isa
8:16 Wrap up the testimony. Seal the law among my disciples.
Isa
8:17 I will wait for Yahweh, who hides his face from the house of
Jacob, and I will look for him.
Isa
8:18 Behold, I and the children whom Yahweh has given me are for
signs and for wonders in Israel from Yahweh of Armies, who dwells in
Mount Zion.
Isa
8:19 When they tell you, "Consult with those who have familiar
spirits and with the wizards, who chirp and who mutter:"
shouldn't a people consult with their God? Should they consult the
dead on behalf of the living?
Isa
8:20 Turn to the law and to the testimony! If they don't speak
according to this word, surely there is no morning for them.
Isa
8:21 They will pass through it, sore distressed and hungry; and it
will happen that when they are hungry, they will worry, and curse by
their king and by their God. They will turn their faces upward,
Isa
8:22 and look to the earth, and see distress, darkness, and the
gloom of anguish. They will be driven into thick darkness.

The
Composite

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.

vineyard,
To
turn aside its hedge, And it hath been for consumption, To break
down its wall, And it hath been for a treading-place.

come up briers and
thorns:
I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain on it.

And on the thick clouds I lay a charge, From raining upon it rain.

Isaiah 5 24
Therefore
as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and as the dry grass sinks

as dust; because they have
rejected
the law of Yahweh of Hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of
Israel.
Therefore
as a tongue of fire devoureth the stubble, and dry grass sinketh
down in the
flame,
their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as
dust; for they
have
rejected the law of Jehovah of hosts, and despised the word of the
Holy One of Israel.
Therefore,
as a tongue of fire devoureth stubble, And flaming hay falleth,
Their
root
is as muck, And their flower as dust goeth up. Because they have
rejected the
law
of Jehovah of Hosts, And the saying of the Holy One of Israel
despised.
Isaiah 5 25
Therefore
is the anger of Yahweh kindled against his people, and he has
stretched forth his
hand
against them, and has struck them; and the mountains tremble, and
their dead bodies are as
refuse in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not
turned away, but his hand is stretched
out still.
Therefore
is the anger of Jehovah kindled against his people, and he hath
stretched out
his
hand against them and hath smitten them; and the mountains trembled,
and their
carcases
are become as dung in the midst of the streets. For all this his
anger is not
turned
away, and his hand is stretched out still.
Therefore
hath the anger of Jehovah burned among His people, And He stretcheth
out
His hand against it, And smiteth it, and the mountains tremble, And
their
carcase
is as filth in the midst of the out-places. With all this His anger
did not
turn
back, And still His hand is stretched out!
Isaiah 5 26
He
will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss for
them from the end of the earth; and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly.
And
he will lift up a banner to the nations afar off, and will hiss for
one from the end of
the
earth; and behold, it will come rapidly [and] lightly.
And
He lifted up an ensign to nations afar off, And hissed to it from
the end of the
earth,
And lo, with haste, swift it cometh.
Isaiah 5 27
None
shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep;
neither shall the belt
of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:
None
among them is weary, none stumbleth; they slumber not, nor sleep;
none hath the
girdle
of his loins loosed, nor the thong of his sandals broken;
There
is none weary, nor stumbling in it, It doth not slumber, nor sleep,
Nor
opened
hath been the girdle of its loins, Nor drawn away the latchet of its
sandals.
Isaiah 5 28
whose
arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent; their horses` hoofs shall
be accounted as flint, and
their wheels as a whirlwind:
their
arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent; their horses` hoofs are
reckoned as the
flint,
and their wheels as a whirlwind.
Whose
arrows [are] sharp, and all its bows bent, Hoofs of its horses as
flint have
been
reckoned, And its wheels as a hurricane!
Isaiah 5 29

the law and to the testimony! If not, let them say after this
manner, `That there is
no dawn to it.`
Isaiah 8 21
They
shall pass through it, sore distressed and hungry; and it shall
happen that when they shall be
hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse by their king and by
their God, and turn their faces
upward:
And
they shall pass through it, hard pressed and hungry; and it shall
come to pass when
they
are hungry, they will fret themselves, and curse their king and
their God, and will
gaze
upward:
--
And it hath passed over into it, hardened and hungry, And it hath
come to pass,
That
it is hungry, and hath been wroth, And made light of its king, and
of its God,
And
hath looked upwards.
Isaiah 8 22
and
they shall look to the earth, and see, distress and darkness, the
gloom of anguish; and into thick
darkness [they shall be] driven away.
and
they will look to the earth; and behold, trouble and darkness, gloom
of anguish; and
they
shall be driven into thick darkness.
And
unto the land it looketh attentively, And lo, adversity and
darkness! --
Dimness,
distress, and thick darkness is driven away, But not the dimness for
which
she is in distress!

yourselves know well that the day of the Lord comes like a thief in
the night.

Lord Jesus Christ,

us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
1Th 5:11 Therefore
exhort one another, and build each other up, even as you also do.

you, brothers, to know those who labor among you, and are over you in
the Lord, and admonish you,

and honor them in love for their work's sake. Be at peace among
yourselves.

brothers, admonish the disorderly, encourage the fainthearted,

always.

things, and hold firmly that which is good.

every form of evil.

peace himself sanctify you completely. May your whole spirit, soul,
and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ.

you is faithful, who will also do it.

for us.

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.
