Isaiah
57-60
Isa
57:1 The righteous perishes, and no man lays it to heart; and
merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is
taken away from the evil to come.
Isa
57:2 He enters into peace; they rest in their beds, each one who
walks in his uprightness.
Isa
57:3 "But draw near here, you sons of the sorceress, the seed
of the adulterer and the prostitute.
Isa
57:4 Against whom do you sport yourselves? against whom make you a
wide mouth, and put out the tongue? Aren't you children of
disobedience, a seed of falsehood,
Isa
57:5 you who inflame yourselves among the oaks, under every green
tree; who kill the children in the valleys, under the clefts of the
rocks?
Isa
57:6 Among the smooth stones
of the valley is your portion; they, they are your lot; even to them
have you poured a drink offering, you have offered an offering. Shall
I be appeased for these things?
Isa
57:7 On a high and lofty mountain have you set your bed; there also
you went up to offer sacrifice.
Isa
57:8 Behind the doors and the posts have you set up your memorial:
for you have uncovered yourself
to another than me, and have gone up; you have enlarged your bed, and
made you a covenant with them: you loved their bed where you saw it.
Isa
57:9 You went to the king with oil, and did increase your perfumes,
and did send your ambassadors far off, and did debase yourself even
to Sheol.
Isa
57:10 You were wearied with the length of your way; yet you didn't
say, It is in vain: you found a reviving of your strength; therefore
you weren't faint.
Isa
57:11 "Of whom have you been afraid and in fear, that you lie,
and have not remembered me, nor laid it to your heart? Haven't I held
my peace even of long time, and you don't fear me?
Isa
57:12 I will declare your righteousness; and as for your works, they
shall not profit you.
Isa
57:13 When you cry, let those who you have gathered deliver you; but
the wind shall take them, a breath shall carry them all away: but he
who takes refuge in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my
holy mountain."
Isa
57:14 He will say, "Cast up, cast up, prepare the way, take up
the stumbling-block out of the way of my people."
Isa
57:15 For thus says the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity,
whose name is Holy: "I dwell in the high and holy place, with
him also who is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit
of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.
Isa
57:16 For I will not contend forever, neither will I be always
angry; for the spirit would faint before me, and the souls who I have
made.
Isa
57:17 For the iniquity of his covetousness was I angry, and struck
him; I hid my face
and was angry; and he went on backsliding in the way of his heart.
Isa
57:18 I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also,
and restore comforts to him and to his mourners.
Isa
57:19 I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace, to him who is
far off and to him who is near," says Yahweh; "and I will
heal them."
Isa
57:20 But the wicked are like the troubled sea; for it can't rest,
and its waters cast up mire and dirt.
Isa
57:21 "There is no peace," says my God, "for the
wicked."
Isa
58:1 "Cry aloud, don't spare, lift up your voice like a
trumpet, and declare to my people their disobedience, and to the
house of Jacob their sins.
Isa
58:2 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways: as a
nation that did righteousness, and didn't forsake the ordinance of
their God, they ask of me righteous judgments; they delight to draw
near to God.
Isa
58:3 'Why have we fasted,' say they,
'and you don't see? why
have we afflicted our soul, and you take no knowledge?' "Behold,
in the day of your fast you find your
own pleasure, and exact all your labors.
Isa
58:4 Behold, you fast for strife and contention, and to strike with
the fist of wickedness: you don't fast this day so as to make your
voice to be heard on high.
Isa
58:5 Is such the fast that I have chosen? the day for a man to
afflict his soul? Is it to bow down his head as a rush, and to spread
sackcloth and ashes under him? will you call this a fast, and an
acceptable day to Yahweh?
Isa
58:6 "Isn't this the fast that I have chosen: to loose the
bonds of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, and to let the
oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke?
Isa
58:7 Isn't it to deal your bread to the hungry, and that you bring
the poor who are cast out to your house? when you see the naked, that
you cover him; and that you not hide yourself from your own flesh?
Isa
58:8 Then your light shall break forth as the morning, and your
healing shall spring forth speedily; and your righteousness shall go
before you; the glory of Yahweh shall be your rear guard.
Isa
58:9 Then you shall call, and Yahweh will answer; you shall cry, and
he will say, 'Here I am.' "If you take away from the midst of
you the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking wickedly;
Isa
58:10 and if you draw out your soul to the hungry, and satisfy the
afflicted soul: then your light shall rise in darkness, and your
obscurity be as the noonday;
Isa
58:11 and Yahweh will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul
in dry places, and make strong your bones; and you shall be like a
watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters don't fail.
Isa
58:12 Those who shall be of you shall build the old waste places;
you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall
be called The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell
in.
Isa
58:13 "If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, from doing
your pleasure on my holy day; and call the Sabbath a delight, and
the holy of Yahweh honorable; and shall honor it, not doing your own
ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your
own words:
Isa
58:14 then you shall delight yourself in Yahweh; and I will make you
to ride on the high places of the earth; and I will feed you with the
heritage of Jacob your father:" for the mouth of Yahweh has
spoken it.
Isa
59:1 Behold, Yahweh's hand is not shortened, that it can't save;
neither his ear heavy, that it can't hear:
Isa
59:2 but your iniquities have separated between you and your God,
and your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not
hear.
Isa
59:3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with
iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue mutters wickedness.
Isa
59:4 None sues in righteousness, and none pleads in truth: they
trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring
forth iniquity.
Isa
59:5 They hatch adders' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he who
eats of their eggs dies; and that which is crushed breaks out into a
viper.
Isa
59:6 Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover
themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and
the act of violence is in their hands.
Isa
59:7 Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent
blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; desolation and
destruction are in their paths.
Isa
59:8 The way of peace they don't know; and there is no justice in
their goings: they have made them crooked paths; whoever goes therein
does not know peace.
Isa
59:9 Therefore is justice far from us, neither does righteousness
overtake us: we look for light, but, behold, darkness; for
brightness, but we walk in obscurity.
Isa
59:10 We grope for the wall like the blind; yes, we grope as those
who have no eyes: we stumble at noonday as in the twilight; among
those who are lusty we are as dead men.
Isa
59:11 We roar all like bears, and moan sore like doves: we look for
justice, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.
Isa
59:12 For our transgressions are multiplied before you, and our sins
testify against us; for our transgressions are with us, and as for
our iniquities, we know them:
Isa
59:13 transgressing and denying Yahweh, and turning away from
following our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and
uttering from the heart words of falsehood.
Isa
59:14 Justice is turned away backward, and righteousness stands afar
off; for truth is fallen in the street, and uprightness can't enter.
Isa
59:15 Yes, truth is lacking; and he who departs from evil makes
himself a prey. Yahweh saw it, and it displeased him that there was
no justice.
Isa
59:16 He saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no
intercessor: therefore his own arm brought salvation to him; and his
righteousness, it upheld him.
Isa
59:17 He put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of
salvation on his head; and he put on garments of vengeance for
clothing, and was clad with zeal as a mantle.
Isa
59:18 According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, wrath to
his adversaries, recompense to his enemies; to the islands he will
repay recompense.
Isa
59:19 So shall they fear the name of Yahweh from the west, and his
glory from the rising of the sun; for he will come as a rushing
stream, which the breath of Yahweh drives.
Isa
59:20 "A Redeemer will come to Zion, and to those who turn from
disobedience in Jacob," says Yahweh.
Isa
59:21 "As for me, this is my covenant with them," says
Yahweh: "my Spirit who is on you, and my words which I have put
in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, nor out of the
mouth of your seed, nor out of the mouth of your seed's seed,"
says Yahweh, "from henceforth and forever."
Isa
60:1 "Arise, shine; for your light is come, and the glory of
Yahweh is risen on you.
Isa
60:2 For, behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness
the peoples; but Yahweh will arise on you, and his glory shall be
seen on you.
Isa
60:3 Nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness
of your rising.
Isa
60:4 "Lift up your eyes all around, and see: they all gather
themselves together, they come to you; your sons shall come from far,
and your daughters shall be carried in the arms.
Isa
60:5 Then you shall see and be radiant, and your heart shall thrill
and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to
you, the wealth of the nations shall come to you.
Isa
60:6 The multitude of camels shall cover you, the dromedaries of
Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come; they shall bring
gold and frankincense, and shall proclaim the praises of Yahweh.
Isa
60:7 All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together to you, the
rams of Nebaioth shall minister to you; they shall come up with
acceptance on my altar; and I will glorify the house of my glory.
Isa
60:8 "Who are these who fly as a cloud, and as the doves to
their windows?
Isa
60:9 Surely the islands shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish
first, to bring your sons from far, their silver and their gold with
them, for the name of Yahweh your God, and for the Holy One of
Israel, because he has glorified you.
Isa
60:10 "Foreigners shall build up your walls, and their kings
shall minister to you: for in my wrath I struck you, but in my favor
have I had mercy on you.
Isa
60:11 Your gates also shall be open continually; they shall not be
shut day nor night; that men may bring to you the wealth of the
nations, and their kings led captive.
Isa
60:12 For that nation and kingdom that will not serve you shall
perish; yes, those nations shall be utterly wasted.
Isa
60:13 "The glory of Lebanon shall come to you, the fir tree,
the pine, and the box tree together, to beautify the place of my
sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious.
Isa
60:14 The sons of those who afflicted you shall come bending to you;
and all those who despised you shall bow themselves down at the soles
of your feet; and they shall call you The city of Yahweh, The Zion of
the Holy One of Israel.
Isa
60:15 "Whereas you have been forsaken and hated, so that no man
passed through you, I will make you an eternal excellency, a joy of
many generations.
Isa
60:16 You shall also suck the milk of the nations, and shall suck
the breast of kings; and you shall know that I, Yahweh, am your
Savior, and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
Isa
60:17 For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver,
and for wood brass, and for stones iron. I will also make your
officers peace, and righteousness your ruler.
Isa
60:18 Violence shall no more be heard in your land, desolation nor
destruction within your borders; but you shall call your walls
Salvation, and your gates Praise.
Isa
60:19 The sun shall be no more your light by day; neither for
brightness shall the moon give light to you: but Yahweh will be to
you an everlasting light, and your God your glory.
Isa
60:20 Your sun shall no more go down, neither shall your moon
withdraw itself; for Yahweh will be your everlasting light, and the
days of your mourning shall be ended.
Isa
60:21 Your people also shall be all righteous; they shall inherit
the land forever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands,
that I may be glorified.
Isa
60:22 The little one shall become a thousand, and the small one a
strong nation; I, Yahweh, will hasten it in its time."

Literal Translation
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.

taken away, none

Gathered

put out the tongue?

are inflamed among oaks, under every green tree, Slaughtering the
children
in
valleys, Under clefts of the rocks.

the doors and the posts have you set up your memorial: for you have
uncovered [yourself] to
another than me, and are gone up; you have enlarged your bed, and

Behind
the doors also and the posts hast thou set up thy remembrance: for
apart from me,
thou hast uncovered thyself, and art gone up; thou hast enlarged thy
bed, and hast made
agreement
with them; thou lovedst their bed, thou sawest their nakedness.
And
behind the door, and the post, Thou hast set up thy memorial, For

were wearied with the length of your way; yet you didn`t say, It is
in vain: you found a
reviving
of your strength; therefore you weren`t faint.
Thou
wast wearied by the multitude of thy ways; [but] thou saidst not, It
is of no avail.
Thou
didst find a quickening of thy strength; therefore thou wast not
sick [of it].
In
the greatness of thy way thou hast laboured, Thou hast not said, `It
is
desperate.`
The life of thy hand thou hast found, Therefore thou hast not been
sick.
Isaiah 57 11

whom have you been afraid and in fear, that you lie, and have not
remembered me, nor laid it to
your heart? Haven`t I held my peace even of long time, and you don`t
fear me?

hast not
remembered
me, nor taken it to heart? Have not I even of long time held my
peace, and
thou
fearest me not?

thus says the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is
Holy: I dwell in the high

humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.

To revive the spirit of the humble, And to revive the heart of
bruised ones,`

For

spirit would faint before me,
and the souls who I have made.

I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth; for the
spirit would fail
before
me, and the souls [which] I have made.

not to the age do I strive, nor for ever am I wroth, For the spirit
from before
Me
is feeble, And the souls I have made.
Isaiah 57 17
For
the iniquity of his covetousness was I angry, and struck him; I hid
[my face] and was angry; and
he went on backsliding in the way of his heart.
For
the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him; I hid
me, and was wroth,
and
he went on backslidingly in the way of his heart.

the iniquity of his dishonest gain, I have been wroth, and I smite
him, Hiding
--
and am wroth, And he goeth on turning back in the way of his heart.

have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and

off, and to him [that is]

near, And I
have
healed him, said Jehovah.

aloud, don`t spare, lift up your voice like a trumpet, and declare to
my people their
disobedience,
and to the house of Jacob their sins.

My
people their transgression, And to the house of Jacob their sins;
Isaiah 58 2

they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways: as a nation that did
righteousness, and didn`t
forsake the ordinance of their God, they ask of me righteous
judgments; they delight to draw
near to God.
Yet
they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that
doeth
righteousness,
and hath not forsaken the ordinance of their God; they ask of me the
ordinances
of righteousness, they take delight in approaching to God:
Seeing
-- Me day by day they seek, And the knowledge of My ways they
desire, As a
nation
that righteousness hath done, And the judgment of its God hath not
forsaken,
They ask of me judgments of righteousness, The drawing near of God
they
desire:
Isaiah 58 3
Why
have we fasted, [say they], and you don`t see? [why] have we
afflicted our soul, and you take no
knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast you find [your own]
pleasure, and exact all your labors.
--
Wherefore have we fasted, and thou seest not; have afflicted our
soul, and thou takest no
knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find what pleaseth
[you], and exact all your
labours.
`Why
have we fasted, and Thou hast not seen? We have afflicted our soul,
and Thou
knowest
not.` Lo, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, And all your
labours ye
exact.

Behold,
you fast for strife and contention, and to strike with the fist of
wickedness: you don`t fast
this day so as to make your voice to be heard on high.

ye have fasted for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of
wickedness; ye
do
not at present fast, to cause your voice to be heard on high.
Lo,
for strife and debate ye fast, And to smite with the fist of
wickedness, Ye fast
not
as [to]-day, To sound in the high place your voice.
Isaiah 58 5
Is
such the fast that I have chosen? the day for a man to afflict his
soul? Is it to bow down his head
as a rush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? will you call
this a fast, and an acceptable
day to Yahweh?
Is
such the fast that I have chosen, a day for a man to afflict his
soul, -- that he should bow
down
his head as a bulrush, and spread sackcloth and ashes [under him]?
Wilt thou call
this
a fast, and a day acceptable to Jehovah?
Like
this is the fast that I choose? The day of a man`s afflicting his
soul? To bow as
a
reed his head, And sackcloth and ashes spread out? This dost thou
call a fast,
And
a desirable day -- to Jehovah?
Isaiah 58 6
Isn`t
this the fast that I have chosen: to loose the bonds of wickedness,
to undo the bands of the yoke,
and to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke?
Is
not this the fast which I have chosen: to loose the bands of
wickedness, to undo the
thongs
of the yoke, and to send forth free the crushed, and that ye break
every yoke?
Is
not this the fast that I chose -- To loose the bands of wickedness,
To shake off the
burdens
of the yoke, And to send out the oppressed free, And every yoke ye
draw
off?
Isaiah 58 7

not thyself?

say, Here I am. If you take away
from the midst of you the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and
speaking wickedly;
Then
shalt thou call, and Jehovah will answer; thou shalt cry, and he
will say, Here I am. If
thou
take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the
finger and the
unjust
speech,

thou callest, and Jehovah answereth, Thou criest, and He saith,
`Behold Me.`

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.
