Isaiah
61-63
Isa
61:1 The Spirit of the Lord Yahweh is on me; because Yahweh has
anointed me to preach good news to the humble. He has sent me to bind
up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and
release to those who are bound;
Isa
61:2 to proclaim the year of Yahweh's favor, and the day of
vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn;
Isa
61:3 to appoint to those who mourn in Zion, to give to them a
garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise
for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of
righteousness, the planting of Yahweh, that he may be glorified.
Isa
61:4 They shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former
desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations
of many generations.
Isa
61:5 Strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and foreigners
shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
Isa
61:6 But you shall be named the priests of Yahweh; men will call you
the ministers of our God: you will eat the wealth of the nations, and
in their glory you will boast yourselves.
Isa
61:7 Instead of your shame you shall
have double; and instead of dishonor
they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they
shall possess double; everlasting joy shall be to them.
Isa
61:8 "For I, Yahweh, love justice, I hate robbery with
iniquity; and I will give them their recompense in truth, and I will
make an everlasting covenant with them.
Isa
61:9 Their seed shall be known among the nations, and their
offspring among the peoples; all who see them shall acknowledge them,
that they are the seed which Yahweh has blessed."
Isa
61:10 I will greatly rejoice in Yahweh, my soul shall be joyful in
my God; for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation, he has
covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks
himself with a garland, and as a bride adorns herself with her
jewels.
Isa
61:11 For as the earth brings forth its bud, and as the garden
causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord
Yahweh will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all
the nations.
Isa
62:1 For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's
sake I will not rest, until her righteousness go forth as brightness,
and her salvation as a lamp that burns.
Isa
62:2 The nations shall see your righteousness, and all kings your
glory, and you shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of
Yahweh shall name.
Isa
62:3 You shall also be a crown of beauty in the hand of Yahweh, and
a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
Isa
62:4 You shall no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall your land
any more be termed Desolate: but you shall be called Hephzibah, and
your land Beulah; for Yahweh delights in you, and your land shall be
married.
Isa
62:5 For as a young man marries a virgin, so your sons shall marry
you; and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so your God will
rejoice over you.
Isa
62:6 I have set watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem; they shall never
hold their peace day nor night: you who call on Yahweh, take no rest,
Isa
62:7 and give him no rest, until he establishes, and until he makes
Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
Isa
62:8 Yahweh has sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his
strength, "Surely I will no more give your grain to be food for
your enemies; and foreigners shall not drink your new wine, for which
you have labored:
Isa
62:9 but those who have garnered it shall eat it, and praise Yahweh;
and those who have gathered it shall drink it in the courts of my
sanctuary."
Isa
62:10 Go through, go through the gates; prepare you the way of the
people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up
a banner for the peoples.
Isa
62:11 Behold, Yahweh has proclaimed to the end of the earth, "Say
to the daughter of Zion, 'Behold, your salvation comes. Behold, his
reward is with him, and his recompense before him.' "
Isa
62:12 They shall call them The holy people, The redeemed of Yahweh:
and you shall be called Sought out, A city not forsaken.
Isa
63:1 Who is this who comes from Edom, with dyed garments from
Bozrah? this who is glorious in his clothing, marching in the
greatness of his strength? "It is I who speak in righteousness,
mighty to save."
Isa
63:2 Why are you red in your clothing, and your garments like him
who treads in the wine vat?
Isa
63:3 "I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the peoples
there was no man with me: yes, I trod them in my anger, and trampled
them in my wrath; and their lifeblood is sprinkled on my garments,
and I have stained all my clothing.
Isa
63:4 For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my
redeemed is come.
Isa
63:5 I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there
was none to uphold: therefore my own arm brought salvation to me; and
my wrath, it upheld me.
Isa
63:6 I trod down the peoples in my anger, and made them drunk in my
wrath, and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth."
Isa
63:7 I will make mention of the loving kindnesses of Yahweh, and
the praises of Yahweh, according to all that Yahweh has bestowed on
us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he has
bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the
multitude of his loving kindnesses.
Isa
63:8 For he said, "Surely, they are my people, children who
will not deal falsely:" so he was their Savior.
Isa
63:9 In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his
presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them;
and he bore them, and carried them all the days of old.
Isa
63:10 But they rebelled, and grieved his holy Spirit: therefore he
was turned to be their enemy, and
himself fought against them.
Isa
63:11 Then he remembered the days of old, Moses and
his people, saying,
Where is he who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of
his flock? where is he who put his holy Spirit in the midst of them?
Isa
63:12 who caused his glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses?
who divided the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting
name?
Isa
63:13 who led them through the depths, as a horse in the wilderness,
so that they didn't stumble?
Isa
63:14 As the livestock that go down into the valley, the Spirit of
Yahweh caused them to rest; so did you lead your people, to make
yourself a glorious name.
Isa
63:15 Look down from heaven, and see from the habitation of your
holiness and of your glory: where are your zeal and your mighty acts?
the yearning of your heart and your compassion is restrained toward
me.
Isa
63:16 For you are our Father, though Abraham doesn't know us, and
Israel does not acknowledge us: you, Yahweh, are our Father; our
Redeemer from everlasting is your name.
Isa
63:17 O Yahweh, why do you make us to err from your ways, and harden
our heart from your fear? Return for your servants' sake, the tribes
of your inheritance.
Isa
63:18 Your holy people possessed it
but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down your sanctuary.
Isa
63:19 We are become as they over whom you never bear rule, as those
who were not called by your name.

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.

Titus 1
Tit 1:1 Paul, a servant
of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of
God's chosen ones, and the knowledge of the truth which is according
to godliness,
Tit 1:2 in hope of
eternal life, which God, who can't lie, promised before time began;
Tit 1:3 but in his own
time revealed his word in the message with which I was entrusted
according to the commandment of God our Savior;
Tit 1:4 to Titus, my
true child according to a common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from
God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.
Tit 1:5 I left you in
Crete for this reason, that you would set in order the things that
were lacking, and appoint elders in every city, as I directed you;
Tit 1:6 if anyone is
blameless, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, who
are not accused of loose or unruly behavior.
Tit 1:7 For the
overseer must be blameless, as God's steward; not self-pleasing, not
easily angered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for
dishonest gain;
Tit 1:8 but given to
hospitality, as a lover of good, sober minded, fair, holy,
self-controlled;
Tit 1:9 holding to the
faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able
to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict those who contradict
him.
Tit 1:10 For there are
also many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, especially those of
the circumcision,
Tit 1:11 whose mouths
must be stopped; men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things
which they ought not, for dishonest gain's sake.
Tit 1:12 One of them, a
prophet of their own, said, "Cretans are always liars, evil
beasts, and idle gluttons."
Tit 1:13 This testimony
is true. For this cause, reprove them sharply, that they may be sound
in the faith,
Tit 1:14 not paying
attention to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn away from
the truth.
Tit 1:15 To the pure,
all things are pure; but to those who are defiled and unbelieving,
nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are
defiled.
Tit 1:16 They profess
that they know God, but by their works they deny him, being
abominable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work.

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.
