Lexicon :: Strong's H3318 - yāṣā'

And many peoples shall come and say,

“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD,

To the house (temple) of the God of Jacob;

That He may teach us His ways

And that we may walk in His paths.”

For the law will go out from Zion

And the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

Then the LORD said to Isaiah, “Go out to meet Ahaz [king of Judah], you and your son [fn]Shear-jashub, at the end of the aqueduct of the Upper Pool, on the highway to the [fn]Fuller’s Field;

Then a Shoot (the Messiah) will spring from the stock of Jesse [David’s father],

And a Branch from his roots will bear fruit.

For the stars of heaven and their constellations

Will not flash with their light;

The sun will be dark when it rises,

And the moon will not shed its light.

“Do not rejoice, O Philistia, any of you,

Because the rod [of Judah] that struck you is broken;

For out of the serpent’s root will come a viper [King Hezekiah of Judah],

And its offspring will be a flying serpent.

Listen carefully, the LORD is about to come out of His [heavenly] place

To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their wickedness [their sin, their injustice, their wrongdoing];

The earth will reveal the [innocent] blood shed upon her

And will no longer cover her slain.

This also comes from the LORD of hosts,

Who has made His counsel wonderful and His wisdom great.

“But I know your sitting down

And your going out and your coming in [every detail of your life],

And your raging against Me.

And the [fn]angel of the LORD went out and [fn]struck 185,000 in the camp of the Assyrians; and when the [surviving] men got up early the next morning, they saw all the dead.

Lift up your eyes on high

And see who has created these heavenly bodies,

The One who brings out their host by number,

He calls them all by name;

Because of the greatness of His might and the strength of His power,

Not one is missing.

“Behold, My [fn]Servant, whom I [fn]uphold;

My Chosen One in whom My soul delights.

I have put My Spirit upon Him;

He will bring forth justice to the nations.

“A broken reed He will not break [off]

And a dimly burning wick He will not extinguish [He will not harm those who are weak and suffering];

He will faithfully bring forth justice.

To open the eyes of the blind,

To bring out prisoners from the dungeon

And those who sit in darkness from the prison.

The LORD will go forth like a warrior,

He will stir up His zeal like a man of war;

He will shout out, yes, He will raise a war cry.

He will prevail [mightily] against His enemies.

Bring out the people who are blind, even though they have eyes,

And the deaf, even though they have ears.

He who brings out the chariot and the horse,

The army and the mighty warrior,

(They will lie down together, they will not rise again;

They have been extinguished, they have been put out like a lamp’s wick):

“I have sworn [an oath] by Myself,

The word is gone out of My mouth in righteousness

And shall not return,

That to Me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear [allegiance].

“Hear this, O house of Jacob, you who are called by the name of Israel

And who come from the [fn]seed of Judah,

You who swear [allegiance] by the name of the LORD

And invoke the God of Israel,

But not in truth (sincerity) nor in righteousness [with moral and spiritual integrity].

“I have declared the former things [which happened to Israel] in times past;

They went forth from My mouth and I proclaimed them;

Suddenly I acted, and they came to pass.

Get out of Babylon! Flee from the Chaldeans [who reign there]!

Declare with a voice of jubilation, proclaim this,

Send it out to the end of the earth;

Say, “The LORD has redeemed His servant Jacob.”

Saying to those who are bound and captured, ‘Go forth,’

And to those who are in [spiritual] darkness, ‘Show yourselves [come into the light of the Savior].’

They will feed along the roads [on which they travel],

And their pastures will be on all the bare heights.

“Your [fn]builders hurry;

Your destroyers and devastators

Will go away from you.

“Listen carefully to Me [says the LORD], O My people,

And hear Me, O My nation;

For a [divine] law will go forth from Me,

And I will quickly establish My justice as a light to the peoples.

Depart, depart, go out from there (the lands of exile),

Touch no unclean thing;

Go out of the midst of her (Babylon), purify yourselves,

You who carry the articles of the LORD [on your journey from there].

“Listen carefully, I have created the smith who blows on the fire of coals

And who produces a weapon for its purpose;

And I have created the destroyer to inflict ruin.

So will My word be which goes out of My mouth;

It will not return to Me void (useless, without result),

Without accomplishing what I desire,

And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.

For as the earth brings forth its sprouts,

And as a garden causes what is sown in it to spring up,

So the Lord GOD will [most certainly] cause righteousness and justice and praise

To spring up before all the nations [through the power of His word].

For Zion’s sake I (Isaiah) will not be silent,

And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep quiet,

Until her righteousness and vindication go forth as brightness,

And her salvation goes forth like a burning torch.

“I will bring forth descendants from Jacob,

And an heir of My mountains from Judah;

Even My chosen ones shall inherit it,

And My servants will live there.

“Then they will go forth and look

Upon the dead bodies of the [rebellious] men

Who have transgressed against Me;

For their worm (maggot) will not die,

And their fire will not go out;

And they will be an abhorrence to all mankind.”
