6 In the year of the death of King Uzziah, I also saw the LORD sitting upon a high throne and lifted up. And the lower parts of it filled the Temple.
2 The seraphims stood upon it. Each one had six wings. With two he covered his face. And with two he covered his feet. And with two he flew.
3 And one cried to another, and said, “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of Hosts! The whole Earth is full of His Glory!”
4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him who cried. And the house was filled with smoke.
5 Then I said, “Woe is me! For I am undone, because I am a man of polluted lips! And I dwell in the midst of a people of polluted lips! For my eyes have seen the King, LORD of Hosts.”
6 Then one of the seraphims flew to me with a hot coal in his hand, which he had taken from the Altar with the Tongs:
7 And he touched my mouth, and said, “Lo, this has touched your lips, and your iniquity shall be taken away. And your sin shall be purged.”
8 Also, I heard the voice of the LORD, saying, “Whom shall I send? And who shall go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I. Send me.”
9 And He said, “Go, and say to this people, ‘You shall indeed hear, but you shall not understand. You shall plainly see, and not perceive.’
10 “Make the heart of this people fat. Make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes, lest they see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and convert and be healed.”
11 Then I said, “LORD, how long?” And He answered, “Until the cities are laid waste, without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land is utterly desolate,
12 “And the LORD has removed men far away. And there is a great desolation in the midst of the land.
13 “But yet, in it shall be a tenth, and shall return and shall be eaten up as an elm or an oak, which has a substance in them even when they are made stumps. The Holy Seed shall be its substance.”
7 And in the days of Ahaz, the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah (king of Judah), Rezin, the king of Aram, came up—and Pekah, the son of Remaliah, king of Israel—to Jerusalem, to fight against it. But he could not overcome it.
2 And it was told to the House of David, saying, “Aram has joined with Ephraim.” Therefore, his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the forest are moved by the wind.
3 Then the LORD said to Isaiah, “Go forth now to meet Ahaz (you and Shear-Jashub, your son), at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, in the path of the fuller’s field,
4 “and say to him, ‘Take heed, and be still. Do not fear or be fainthearted because of the two tails of these smoking firebrands, because of the furious wrath of Rezin and of Aram and of Remaliah’s son.’
5 “Because Aram has taken wicked counsel against you, Ephraim and Remaliah’s son, saying,
6 ‘Let us go up against Judah. And let us wake them up and make a breach therein for ourselves and set a king in the midst thereof: the son of Tabel.’”
7 Thus says the LORD God: “It shall not stand, nor shall it be.
8 “For the head of Aram is Damascus. And the head of Damascus is Rezin. And within sixty-five years, Ephraim shall be destroyed from being a people.
9 “And the head of Ephraim is Samaria. And the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If you do not believe, surely you shall not be established.”
10 And the LORD spoke again to Ahaz, saying,
11 “Ask for a sign for yourself from the LORD your God. Ask it in the depth beneath or in the height above.”
12 But Ahaz said, “I will not ask, nor will I tempt the LORD.”
13 Then he said, “Hear now, O House of David. It is a small thing for you to grieve men. But will you also grieve my God?”
14 “Therefore the LORD Himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son. And she shall call His Name, ‘Immanuel’.
15 “Butter and honey shall He eat, until He has knowledge to refuse evil and to choose good.
16 “For before the Child shall have knowledge to eschew evil, and to choose good, the land that you abhor shall be forsaken by both her kings.
17 “The LORD shall bring the king of Assyria upon you, and upon your people, and your Father’s House (days that have not come since the day that Ephraim departed from Judah).”
18 And on that day shall the LORD whistle for the fly that is at the uttermost parts of the streams of Egypt, and for the bee which is in the land of Assyria.
19 And they shall come and shall all light in the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and upon all thorny places, and upon all bushy places.
20 On that day shall the LORD shave with a hired razor, by those beyond the river, by the king of Assyria, the head and the hair of the feet. And it shall consume the beard.
21 And on the same day shall a man nourish a young cow and two sheep.
22 And because of the abundance of milk that they shall give, he shall eat butter. For everyone shall eat butter and honey which is left within the land.
23 And on the same day that every place which once had a thousand vines sold for a thousand pieces of silver, shall be briers and thorns.
24 With arrows and with bow shall one come there, because all the land shall be briers and thorns.
25 But on all the mountains which shall be dug with the mattock, the fear of briers and thorns shall not come. But they shall be for the sending out of bullocks, and for the treading of sheep.
16 I say again, let no one think that I am foolish, (or even take me as a fool) that I may also boast of myself a little.
17 What I speak, I do not speak according to the Lord but, as it were, foolishly, while we are boasting.
18 Seeing that many rejoice after the flesh, I will rejoice also.
19 For you endure fools gladly, because you are wise.
20 For you endure, even if someone enslaves you, if someone devours you, if someone takes from you, if someone exalts himself, if someone strikes you on the face.
21 Concerning dishonor I speak as though we were weak. But wherein anyone is bold (I speak foolishly) I am bold also.
22 They are Hebrews, so am I. They are Israelites, so am I. They are the seed of Abraham, so am I.
23 They are the ministers of Christ. (I speak as a fool) I am more: in labors, more abundant; in stripes, above measure; in prison, more exceedingly; in death, often.
24 Five times I have received forty stripes minus one from the Jews.
25 Three times I was beaten with rods. I was once stoned. I suffered shipwreck three times. Night and day, I have been on the deep sea.
26 While journeying I was often in perils from waters, in perils from robbers, in perils from my own nation, in perils among the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brothers,
27 in weariness and painfulness, in sleeplessness often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and in nakedness.
28 Besides outward things, I am daily-laden, and care for all the churches.
29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is offended, and I do not burn?
30 If I must boast, I will boast of my infirmities.
31 The God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who is blessed forevermore, knows that I do not lie.
32 In Damascus, the governor of the people under King Aretas posted a guard over the city of the Damascenes and would have caught me.
33 But at a window, I was let down in a basket, through the wall, and escaped his hands.
54 Save me, O God, by Your Name; and by Your power, judge me.
2 O God, hear my prayer; hear the words of my mouth.
3 For strangers have risen up against me, and tyrants seek my soul. They have not set God before them. Selah.
4 Behold, God is my helper. The LORD is with those who uphold my soul.
5 He shall reward evil to my enemies. Oh, cut them off in Your truth!
6 I will sacrifice freely to You. I will praise Your Name, O LORD, because it is good.
7 For He has delivered me out of all trouble; and my eye has seen my desire upon my enemies. To him who excels on Neginoth: A Psalm of David, to give instruction
23 When you sit to eat with a ruler, diligently consider what is before you;
2 and put your knife to your throat if you are a man given to overeating.
3 Do not be desirous of his delicacies. For it is deceptive food.
