Isaiah · Chapter 9
Nevertheless the dimness
shall not
be such as
was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict
her by the way of the sea, beyond Yarden, in Galilee of the nations.
The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.
Thou hast multiplied the nation,
and not increased the joy: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest,
and as
men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian.
For every battle of the warrior
is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but
this shall be with burning
and
fuel of fire.
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty Elohim, The everlasting Father, The prince of shalom.
Of the increase of
his government and peace
there shall be no end, upon the throne of Dawid, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts will perform this.
The master sent a word into Ya'aqov, and it hath lighted upon Yisra'el.
And all the people shall know,
even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in the pride and stoutness of heart,
The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change
them into cedars.
Therefore 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and join his enemies together;
The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Yisra'el with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand
is stretched out still.
For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, neither do they seek 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts.
Therefore 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) will cut off from Yisra'el head and tail, branch and rush, in one day.
The ancient and honourable, he
is the head; and the navi that teacheth lies, he
is the tail.
For the leaders of this people cause
them to err; and
they that are led of them
are destroyed.
Therefore the master shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand
is stretched out still.
For wickedness burneth as the fire: it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up
like the lifting up of smoke.
Through the wrath of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall spare his brother.
And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm:
Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh:
and they together
shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand
is stretched out still.

Yesha'yahu10
Isaiah · Chapter 10
Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness
which they have prescribed;
To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and
that
they may rob the fatherless!
And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation
which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?
Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand
is stretched out still.
O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation.
I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but
it is in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few.
For he saith,
Are not my princes altogether kings?
Is not Calno as Carchemish?
is not Hamath as Arpad?
is not Samaria as Damascus?
As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, and whose graven images did excel them of Yerushalayim and of Samaria;
Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Yerushalayim and her idols?
Wherefore it shall come to pass,
that when the master hath performed his whole work upon mount Tsiyon and on Yerushalayim, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks.
For he saith, By the strength of my hand I have done
it,
and by my wisdom; for I am prudent: and I have removed the bounds of the people, and have robbed their treasures, and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant
man:
And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people: and as one gathereth eggs
that are left, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped.
Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith?
or shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? as if the rod should shake
itself against them that lift it up,
or as if the staff should lift up
itself, as if it were
no wood.
Therefore shall the master, the master of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire.
And the light of Yisra'el shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day;
And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both nephesh and body: and they shall be as when a standardbearer fainteth.
And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a child may write them.
And it shall come to pass in that day,
that the remnant of Yisra'el, and such as are escaped of the house of Ya'aqov, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), the Holy One of Yisra'el, in truth.
The remnant shall return,
even the remnant of Ya'aqov, unto the mighty Elohim.
For though thy people Yisra'el be as the sand of the sea,
yet
a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness.
For the master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts shall make a consumption, even determined, in the midst of all the land.
Therefore thus saith the master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Tsiyon, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Mitsrayim.
For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and mine anger in their destruction.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and
as his rod
was
upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Mitsrayim.
And it shall come to pass in that day,
that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.
He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at Michmash he hath laid up his carriages:
They are gone over the passage: they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah is afraid; Gibeah of Sha'ul is fled.
Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to be heard unto Laish, O poor Anathoth.
Madmenah is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee.
As yet shall he remain at Nob that day: he shall shake his hand
against the mount of the daughter of Tsiyon, the hill of Yerushalayim.
Behold, the master, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts, shall lop the bough with terror: and the high ones of stature
shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled.
And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.

Yesha'yahu11
Isaiah · Chapter 11
And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
And the spirit of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH);
And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH): and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:
But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.
And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice’ den.
They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), as the waters cover the sea.
And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.
And it shall come to pass in that day,
that the master shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Mitsrayim, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Yisra'el, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim.
But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west; they shall spoil them of the east together: they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon shall obey them.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, and shall smite it in the seven streams, and make
men go over dryshod.
And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Yisra'el in the day that he came up out of the land of Mitsrayim.
