Bible. Isaiah
23:051:011 Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with
singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their
head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and
mourning shall flee away.
23:051:012 I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou
shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of
man which shall be made as grass;
23:051:013 And forgettest the LORD thy maker, that hath stretched forth
the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and hast
feared continually every day because of the fury of the
oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy? and where is the
fury of the oppressor?
23:051:014 The captive exile hasteneth that he may be loosed, and that he
should not die in the pit, nor that his bread should fail.
23:051:015 But I am the LORD thy God, that divided the sea, whose waves
roared: The LORD of hosts is his name.
23:051:016 And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee
in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and
lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art
my people.
23:051:017 Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, which hast drunk at the
hand of the LORD the cup of his fury; thou hast drunken the
dregs of the cup of trembling, and wrung them out.
23:051:018 There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she hath
brought forth; neither is there any that taketh her by the
hand of all the sons that she hath brought up.
23:051:019 These two things are come unto thee; who shall be sorry for
thee? desolation, and destruction, and the famine, and the
sword: by whom shall I comfort thee?
23:051:020 Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the
streets, as a wild bull in a net: they are full of the fury of
the LORD, the rebuke of thy God.
23:051:021 Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not
with wine:
23:051:022 Thus saith thy Lord the LORD, and thy God that pleadeth the
cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thine hand
the cup of trembling, even the dregs of the cup of my fury;
thou shalt no more drink it again:
23:051:023 But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee;
which have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over:
and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street,
to them that went over.
23:052:001 Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy
beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth
there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the
unclean.
