Bible. Isaiah
23:042:008 I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give
to another, neither my praise to graven images.
23:042:009 Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do
I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.
23:042:010 Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of
the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is
therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.
23:042:011 Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice,
the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of
the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.
23:042:012 Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise in
the islands.
23:042:013 The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up
jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall
prevail against his enemies.
23:042:014 I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and
refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I
will destroy and devour at once.
23:042:015 I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their
herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up
the pools.
23:042:016 And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will
lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make
darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These
things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.
23:042:017 They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that
trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are
our gods.
23:042:018 Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see.
23:042:019 Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I
sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the
LORD's servant?
23:042:020 Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears,
but he heareth not.
23:042:021 The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will
magnify the law, and make it honourable.
23:042:022 But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them
snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are
for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith,
Restore.
23:042:023 Who among you will give ear to this? who will hearken and hear
for the time to come?
23:042:024 Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not
the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not
walk in his ways, neither were they obedient unto his law.
