Isaiah
29-32
Isa
29:1 Woe to Ariel! Ariel, the city where David encamped! Add year to
year; let the feasts come around;
Isa
29:2 then I will distress Ariel, and there will be mourning and
lamentation. She shall be to me as an altar hearth.
Isa
29:3 I will encamp against you all around you, and will lay siege
against you with posted troops. I will raise siege works against you.
Isa
29:4 You will be brought down, and will speak out of the ground.
Your speech will mumble out of the dust. Your voice will be as of one
who has a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and your speech will
whisper out of the dust.
Isa
29:5 But the multitude of your foes will be like fine dust, and the
multitude of the ruthless ones like chaff that blows away. Yes, it
will be in an instant, suddenly.
Isa
29:6 She will be visited by Yahweh of Armies with thunder, with
earthquake, with great noise, with whirlwind and storm, and with the
flame of a devouring fire.
Isa
29:7 The multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even
all who fight against her and her stronghold, and who distress her,
will be like a dream, a vision of the night.
Isa
29:8 It will be like when a hungry man dreams, and behold, he eats;
but he awakes, and his hunger isn't satisfied; or like when a thirsty
man dreams, and behold, he drinks; but he awakes, and behold, he is
faint, and he is still thirsty. The multitude of all the nations that
fight against Mount Zion will be like that.
Isa
29:9 Pause and wonder! Blind yourselves and be blind! They are
drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
Isa
29:10 For Yahweh has poured out on you a spirit of deep sleep, and
has closed your eyes, the prophets; and he has covered your heads,
the seers.
Isa
29:11 All vision has become to you like the words of a book that is
sealed, which men deliver to one who is educated, saying, "Read
this, please;" and he says, "I can't, for it is sealed:"
Isa
29:12 and the book is delivered to one who is not educated, saying,
"Read this, please;" and he says, "I can't read."
Isa
29:13 The Lord said, "Because this people draws near with their
mouth and with their lips to honor me, but they have removed their
heart far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment of men which
has been taught;
Isa
29:14 therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among
this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder; and the wisdom of
their wise men will perish, and the understanding of their prudent
men will be hidden."
Isa
29:15 Woe to those who deeply hide their counsel from Yahweh, and
whose works are in the dark, and who say, "Who sees us?"
and "Who knows us?"
Isa
29:16 You turn things upside down! Should the potter be thought to
be like clay; that the thing made should say about him who made it,
"He didn't make me;" or the thing formed say of him who
formed it, "He has no understanding?"
Isa
29:17 Isn't it yet a very little while, and Lebanon will be turned
into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field will be regarded as a
forest?
Isa
29:18 In that day, the deaf will hear the words of the book, and the
eyes of the blind will see out of obscurity and out of darkness.
Isa
29:19 The humble also will increase their joy in Yahweh, and the
poor among men will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
Isa
29:20 For the ruthless is brought to nothing, and the scoffer
ceases, and all those who are alert to do evil are cut off--
Isa
29:21 who cause a person to be indicted by a word, and lay a snare
for the arbiter in the gate, and who deprive the innocent of justice
with false testimony.
Isa
29:22 Therefore thus says Yahweh, who redeemed Abraham, concerning
the house of Jacob: "Jacob shall no longer be ashamed, neither
shall his face grow pale.
Isa
29:23 But when he sees his children, the work of my hands, in the
midst of him, they will sanctify my name. Yes, they will sanctify the
Holy One of Jacob, and will stand in awe of the God of Israel.
Isa
29:24 They also who err in spirit will come to understanding, and
those who grumble will receive instruction."
Isa
30:1 "Woe to the rebellious children," says Yahweh, "who
take counsel, but not from me; and who make an alliance, but not with
my Spirit, that they may add sin to sin,
Isa
30:2 who set out to go down into Egypt, and have not asked my
advice; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to
take refuge in the shadow of Egypt!
Isa
30:3 Therefore the strength of Pharaoh will be your shame, and the
refuge in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
Isa
30:4 For their princes are at Zoan, and their ambassadors have come
to Hanes.
Isa
30:5 They shall all be ashamed because of a people that can't profit
them, that are not a help nor profit, but a shame, and also a
reproach."
Isa
30:6 The burden of the animals of the South. Through the land of
trouble and anguish, of the lioness and the lion, the viper and fiery
flying serpent, they carry their riches on the shoulders of young
donkeys, and their treasures on the humps of camels, to an
unprofitable people.
Isa
30:7 For Egypt helps in vain, and to no purpose; therefore have I
called her Rahab who sits still.
Isa
30:8 Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and inscribe it in a
book, that it may be for the time to come forever and ever.
Isa
30:9 For it is a rebellious people, lying children, children who
will not hear the law of Yahweh;
Isa
30:10 who tell the seers, "Don't see!" and to the
prophets, "Don't prophesy to us right things. Tell us pleasant
things. Prophesy deceits.
Isa
30:11 Get out of the way. Turn aside from the path. Cause the Holy
One of Israel to cease from before us."
Isa
30:12 Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel, "Because you
despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and rely
on it;
Isa
30:13 therefore this iniquity shall be to you like a breach ready to
fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly in
an instant.
Isa
30:14 He will break it as a potter's vessel is broken, breaking it
in pieces without sparing, so that there won't be found among the
broken piece a piece good enough to take fire from the hearth, or to
dip up water out of the cistern."
Isa
30:15 For thus said the Lord Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel, "You
will be saved in returning and rest. Your strength will be in
quietness and in confidence." You refused,
Isa
30:16 but you said, "No, for we will flee on horses;"
therefore you will flee; and, "We will ride on the swift;"
therefore those who pursue you will be swift.
Isa
30:17 One thousand will flee at the threat of one. At the threat of
five, you will flee until you are left like a beacon on the top of a
mountain, and like a banner on a hill.
Isa
30:18 Therefore Yahweh will wait, that he may be gracious to you;
and therefore he will be exalted, that he may have mercy on you, for
Yahweh is a God of justice. Blessed are all those who wait for him.
Isa
30:19 For the people will dwell in Zion at Jerusalem. You will weep
no more. He will surely be gracious to you at the voice of your cry.
When he hears you, he will answer you.
Isa
30:20 Though the Lord may give you the bread of adversity and the
water of affliction, yet your teachers won't be hidden anymore, but
your eyes will see your teachers;
Isa
30:21 and when you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the
left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is
the way. Walk in it."
Isa
30:22 You shall defile the overlaying of your engraved images of
silver, and the plating of your molten images of gold. You shall cast
them away as an unclean thing. You shall tell it, "Go away!"
Isa
30:23 He will give the rain for your seed, with which you will sow
the ground; and bread of the increase of the ground will be rich and
plentiful. In that day, your livestock will feed in large pastures.
Isa
30:24 The oxen likewise and the young donkeys that till the ground
will eat savory provender, which has been winnowed with the shovel
and with the fork.
Isa
30:25 There shall be brooks and streams of water on every lofty
mountain and on every high hill in the day of the great slaughter,
when the towers fall.
Isa
30:26 Moreover the light of the moon will be like the light of the
sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter, like the
light of seven days, in the day that Yahweh binds up the fracture of
his people, and heals the wound they were struck with.
Isa
30:27 Behold, the name of Yahweh comes from far away, burning with
his anger, and in thick rising smoke. His lips are full of
indignation, and his tongue is as a devouring fire.
Isa
30:28 His breath is as an overflowing stream that reaches even to
the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction; and a
bridle that leads to ruin will be in the jaws of the peoples.
Isa
30:29 You will have a song, as in the night when a holy feast is
kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goes with a flute to come to
Yahweh's mountain, to Israel's Rock.
Isa
30:30 Yahweh will cause his glorious voice to be heard, and will
show the descent of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and
the flame of a devouring fire, with a blast, storm, and hailstones.
Isa
30:31 For through the voice of Yahweh the Assyrian will be dismayed.
He will strike him with his rod.
Isa
30:32 Every stroke of the rod of punishment, which Yahweh will lay
on him, will be with the sound of tambourines and harps. He will
fight with them in battles, brandishing weapons.
Isa
30:33 For his burning place has long been ready. Yes, for the king
it is made ready. He has made its pyre deep and large with fire and
much wood. Yahweh's breath, like a stream of sulfur, kindles it.
Isa
31:1 Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, and rely on horses,
and trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because
they are very strong, but they don't look to the Holy One of Israel,
and they don't seek Yahweh!
Isa
31:2 Yet he also is wise, and will bring disaster, and will not call
back his words, but will arise against the house of the evildoers,
and against the help of those who work iniquity.
Isa
31:3 Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh,
and not spirit. When Yahweh stretches out his hand, both he who helps
shall stumble, and he who is helped shall fall, and they all shall be
consumed together.
Isa
31:4 For thus says Yahweh to me, "As the lion and the young
lion growling over his prey, if a multitude of shepherds is called
together against him, will not be dismayed at their voice, nor abase
himself for the noise of them, so Yahweh of Armies will come down to
fight on Mount Zion and on its heights.
Isa
31:5 As birds hovering, so Yahweh of Armies will protect Jerusalem.
He will protect and deliver it. He will pass over and preserve it."
Isa
31:6 Return to him from whom you have deeply revolted, children of
Israel.
Isa
31:7 For in that day everyone shall cast away his idols of silver
and his idols of gold--sin which your own hands have made for you.
Isa
31:8 "The Assyrian will fall by the sword, not of man; and the
sword, not of mankind, shall devour him. He will flee from the sword,
and his young men will become subject to forced labor.
Isa
31:9 His rock will pass away by reason of terror, and his princes
will be afraid of the banner," says Yahweh, whose fire is in
Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
Isa
32:1 Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall
rule in justice.
Isa
32:2 A man shall be as a hiding place from the wind, and a covert
from the storm, as streams of water in a dry place, as the shade of a
large rock in a weary land.
Isa
32:3 The eyes of those who see will not be dim, and the ears of
those who hear will listen.
Isa
32:4 The heart of the rash will understand knowledge, and the tongue
of the stammerers will be ready to speak plainly.
Isa
32:5 The fool will no longer be called noble, nor the scoundrel be
highly respected.
Isa
32:6 For the fool will speak folly, and his heart will work
iniquity, to practice profanity, and to utter error against Yahweh,
To make empty the soul of the hungry, and to cause the drink of the
thirsty to fail.
Isa
32:7 The ways of the scoundrel are evil. He devises wicked devices
to destroy the humble with lying words, even when the needy speaks
right.
Isa
32:8 But the noble devises noble things; and he will continue in
noble things.
Isa
32:9 Rise up, you women who are at ease! Hear my voice! You careless
daughters, give ear to my speech!
Isa
32:10 For days beyond a year you will be troubled, you careless
women; for the vintage shall fail. The harvest won't come.
Isa
32:11 Tremble, you women who are at ease! Be troubled, you careless
ones! Strip yourselves, make yourselves naked, and put sackcloth on
your waist.
Isa
32:12 Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful
vine.
Isa
32:13 Thorns and briars will come up on my people's land; yes, on
all the houses of joy in the joyous city.
Isa
32:14 For the palace will be forsaken. The populous city will be
deserted. The hill and the watchtower will be for dens forever, a
delight for wild donkeys, a pasture of flocks;
Isa
32:15 Until the Spirit is poured on us from on high, and the
wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is
considered a forest.
Isa
32:16 Then justice will dwell in the wilderness; and righteousness
will remain in the fruitful field.
Isa
32:17 The work of righteousness will be peace; and the effect of
righteousness, quietness and confidence forever.
Isa
32:18 My people will abide in a peaceful habitation, in safe
dwellings, and in quiet resting places.
Isa
32:19 Though hail flattens the forest, and the city is leveled
completely.
Isa
32:20 Blessed are you who sow beside all waters, who send out the
feet of the ox and the donkey.

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.
Isaiah
Isaiah 29 1
Ho
Ariel, Ariel, the city where David encamped! add you year to year;
let the feasts come round:
Woe

shall whisper out of the dust.
And
thou shalt be brought low, thou shalt speak out of the ground, and
thy speech shall
come
low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be as of one that hath a
familiar spirit, out of
the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust.

makest

saying low, And thy voice hath been from the earth, As one having a
familiar
spirit,
And from the dust thy saying whisperest,

multitude of the
terrible

as chaff
passing
on the multitude of the terrible, And it hath been at an instant --

Isaiah 29 8
It
shall be as when a hungry man dreams, and, behold, he eats; but he
awakes, and his soul is empty:
or as when a thirsty man dreams, and, behold, he drinks; but he
awakes, and, behold, he is
faint, and his soul has appetite: so shall the multitude of all the
nations be, that fight against Mount
Zion.
It
shall even be as when the hungry dreameth, and, behold, he eateth;
and he awaketh,
and
his soul is empty; or as when the thirsty dreameth, and, behold, he
drinketh; and he
awaketh,
and, behold, he is faint, and his soul craveth: so shall the
multitude of all the
nations
be that war against mount Zion.
And
it hath been, as when the hungry dreameth, And lo, he is eating, And
he hath
waked,
and empty [is] his soul, And as when the thirsty dreameth, And lo,
he is
drinking,
and he hath waked, And lo, he is weary, and his soul is longing, So
is the
multitude of all the nations Who are warring against mount Zion.
Isaiah 29 9
Stay
you and wonder; take your pleasure and be blind: they are drunken,
but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
Be
astounded and astonished, blind yourselves and be blind! They are
drunken, but not
with
wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
Tarry
and wonder, look ye, yea, look, Be drunk, and not with wine,
Stagger, and
not
with strong drink.

-- the prophets, And your heads -- the seers -- He covered.

vision is become to you as the words of a book that is sealed, which
men deliver to one who is learned, saying, Read this, I pray you; and he says, I can`t, for it
is sealed:
And
the whole vision is become unto you as the words of a book that is
sealed, which they
give
to one that can read, saying, Read this, I pray thee; and he saith,

And

they give unto
one knowing books, Saying, `Read this, we pray thee,` And he hath
said, `I am not
able, for it [is] sealed;`
Isaiah 29 12
and
the book is delivered to him who is not learned, saying, Read this, I
pray you; and he says, I am
not learned.

this, we pray
thee,` And he hath said, `I have not known books.`
Isaiah 29 13
The
Lord said, Because this people draw near [to me], and with their
mouth and with their lips to
honor me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear of
me is a commandment of
men which has been taught [them];
And
the Lord saith, Forasmuch as this people draw near with their mouth,
and honour me
with their lips, but their heart is removed far from me, and their
fear of me is a commandment
taught of men;
And
the Lord saith: Because drawn near hath this people, with its mouth,
And
with
its lips they have honoured Me, And its heart it hath put far off
from Me, And their fear of Me is -- A precept of men is taught!
Isaiah 29 14

understanding of their
prudent men shall be hid.

behold, I will proceed to do marvellously with this people, to do
marvellously,

of their intelligent ones shall be hid.

marvel,
And perished hath the wisdom of its wise ones, And the understanding
of
its
intelligent ones hideth itself.`

Woe
to those who hide deep their counsel from Yahweh, and whose works are
in the dark, and who
say, Who sees us? and who knows us?

unto them that hide deep, far from Jehovah, their counsel! And their
works are in
the
dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?
Wo
[to] those going deep from Jehovah to hide counsel, And whose works
have been
in darkness. And they say, `Who is seeing us? And who is knowing
us?`
Isaiah 29 16
You
turn things upside down! Shall the potter be esteemed as clay; that
the thing made should say
of him who made it, He didn`t make me; or the thing formed say of him
who formed it, He has no understanding?
[Oh]
your perverseness! -- Shall the potter be esteemed as the clay, so
that the work
should
say of him that made it, He made me not; or the thing formed say of
him that
formed
it, He hath no understanding?
Your
perversion! as clay is the potter esteemed? That the work saith of
its maker,
`He
hath not made me?` And the framed thing said of its framer, `He did
not understand?`
Isaiah 29 17
Is
it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a
fruitful field, and the fruitful field
shall be esteemed as a forest?

fruitful
field shall be esteemed as a forest?

fruitful
field for a forest is reckoned?

that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of
the blind shall see out of obscurity
and out of darkness.

obscurity and out of
darkness,
the eyes of the blind shall see;

heard in that day have the deaf the words of a book, And out of
thick
darkness,
and out of darkness, The eyes of the blind do see.
Isaiah 29 19
The
humble also shall increase their joy in Yahweh, and the poor among
men shall rejoice in the Holy
One of Israel.

men shall rejoice
in
the Holy One of Israel.
And
the humble have added joy in Jehovah, And the poor among men In the
Holy
One
of Israel rejoice.
Isaiah 29 20
For
the terrible one is brought to nothing, and the scoffer ceases, and
all those who watch for iniquity
are cut off;
For
the terrible one shall come to nought, and the scorner shall be no
more, and all that
watch
for iniquity shall be cut off,
For
ceased hath the terrible one, And consumed hath been the scorner,
And cut off
have been all watching for iniquity,
Isaiah 29 21
that
make a man an offender in [his] cause, and lay a snare for him who
reproves in the gate, and turn aside the just with a thing of nothing.
that
make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that
reproveth in the
gate,
and pervert [the judgment of] the righteous by futility.
Causing
men to sin in word, And for a reprover in the gate lay a snare, And
turn
aside
into emptiness the righteous.
Isaiah 29 22
Therefore
thus says Yahweh, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of
Jacob: Jacob shall not
now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale.
Therefore
thus saith Jehovah who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of
Jacob:
Jacob
shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now be pale;
Therefore,
thus said Jehovah, Who ransomed Abraham, Concerning the house of
Jacob:
`Not now ashamed is Jacob, Nor now doth his face become pale,
Isaiah 29 23
But
when he sees his children, the work of my hands, in the midst of him,
they shall sanctify my name;
yes, they shall sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall stand in
awe of the God of Israel.
for
when he seeth his children, the work of my hands, in the midst of
him, they shall
hallow
my name, and hallow the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of
Israel.
For
in his seeing his children, The work of My hand, in his midst, They
sanctify My
name, And have sanctified the Holy One of Jacob, And the God of
Israel they declare
fearful.
Isaiah 29 24
They
also who err in spirit shall come to understanding, and those who
murmur shall receive instruction.
And
they that are of erring spirit shall know understanding, and the
disobedient shall
learn
doctrine.
And
the erring in spirit have known understanding, And murmurers learn doctrine!`
Isaiah 30 1
Woe
to the rebellious children, says Yahweh, who take counsel, but not of
me; and who make a league,
but not of my Spirit, that they may add sin to sin,
Woe
to the rebellious children, saith Jehovah, who take counsel, but not
of me, and who
make
leagues, but not by my Spirit, that they may heap sin upon sin;
Wo
[to] apostate sons, The affirmation of Jehovah! To do counsel, and
not from Me,
And
to spread out a covering, and not of My spirit, So as to add sin to
sin.
Isaiah 30 2
that
set out to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to
strengthen themselves in the
strength of Pharaoh, and to take refuge in the shadow of Egypt!

1 Timothy 3
1Ti 3:1 This is a
faithful saying: if a man seeks the office of an overseer, he desires
a good work.
1Ti 3:2 The overseer
therefore must be without reproach, the husband of one wife,
temperate, sensible, modest, hospitable, good at teaching;
1Ti 3:3 not a drinker,
not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not
covetous;
1Ti 3:4 one who rules
his own house well, having children in subjection with all reverence;
1Ti 3:5 (but if a man
doesn't know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the
assembly of God?)
1Ti 3:6 not a new
convert, lest being puffed up he fall into the same condemnation as
the devil.
1Ti 3:7 Moreover he
must have good testimony from those who are outside, to avoid falling
into reproach and the snare of the devil.
1Ti 3:8 Servants, in
the same way, must be reverent, not double-tongued, not addicted to
much wine, not greedy for money;
1Ti 3:9 holding the
mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
1Ti 3:10 Let them also
first be tested; then let them serve if they are blameless.
1Ti 3:11 Their wives in
the same way must be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in
all things.
1Ti 3:12 Let servants
be husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses
well.
1Ti 3:13 For those who
have served well gain for themselves a good standing, and great
boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
1Ti 3:14 These things I
write to you, hoping to come to you shortly;
1Ti 3:15 but if I wait
long, that you may know how men ought to behave themselves in the
house of God, which is the assembly of the living God, the pillar and
ground of the truth.
1Ti 3:16 Without
controversy, the mystery of godliness is great: God was revealed in
the flesh, justified in the spirit, seen by angels, preached among
the nations, believed on in the world, and received up in glory.

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.

the flesh, Justified in
the spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the nations, Believed on
in the world, And received

And
confessedly the mystery of piety is great. God has been manifested
in flesh, has been
justified
in [the] Spirit, has appeared to angels, has been preached among
[the] nations,
has
been believed on in [the] world, has been received up in glory.
and,
confessedly, great is the secret of piety -- God was manifested in
flesh,
declared
righteous in spirit, seen by messengers, preached among nations,
believed
on in the world, taken up in glory!
