1 Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon; sit on the ground without a throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate. 2 Take the millstones, and grind meal: remove thy veil, strip off the train, uncover the leg, pass through the […]

1 Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah; which swear by the name of theLord, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness. 2 For they call themselves of the […]

1 Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye peoples, from far: theLordhath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name: 2 and he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword, in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me; and he hath […]

1 Thus saith theLord, Keep ye judgment, and do righteousness: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed. 2 Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that holdeth fast by it; that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and keepeth his hand from doing any […]
