Isaiah 47 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

“Take ^H3947 the millstones ^H7347 and grind ^H2912 flour ^H7058.

Uncover ^H1540 your veil ^H6777, strip ^H2834 off ^H2834 the skirt ^H7640,

Uncover ^H1540 the leg ^H7785, cross ^H5674 the rivers ^H5104.

“Your nakedness ^H6172 will be uncovered ^H1540;

Your reproach ^H2781 also ^H1571 will be seen ^H7200;

I will take ^H3947 vengeance ^H5359 and will not [fn]spare ^H6293 a man ^H120.”

Our Redeemer ^H1350, Yahweh ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635 is His name ^H8034,

The Holy ^H6918 One ^H6918 of Israel ^H3478.

“Sit ^H3427 silently ^H1748, and go ^H935 into darkness ^H2822,

O daughter ^H1323 of the Chaldeans ^H3778,

For you will no ^H3808 longer ^H3254 be called ^H7121

The queen ^H1404 of kingdoms ^H4467.

“I was ^H7107 furious ^H7107 with My people ^H5971;

I profaned ^H2490 My inheritance ^H5159

And gave ^H5414 them into your hand ^H3027.

You did not show ^H7760 compassion ^H7356 to them,

On the aged ^H2205 you made ^H3513 your yoke ^H5923 very ^H3966 heavy ^H3513.

“Yet you said ^H559, ‘I will be a queen ^H1404 forever ^H5703 H5769.’

These ^H428 things ^H428 you did not put ^H7760 on ^H5921 your heart ^H3820

Nor ^H3808 remember ^H2142 the outcome ^H319 of [fn]them.

“So now ^H6258, hear ^H8085 this ^H2088, you sensual ^H5719 one ^H5719,

Who sits ^H3427 securely ^H983,

Who says ^H559 in [fn]your heart ^H3824,

‘I am, and there ^H657 is ^H657 no ^H657 one ^H657 besides ^H5750 me.

I will not sit ^H3427 as a widow ^H490,

Nor ^H3808 know ^H3045 loss ^H7908 of ^H7908 children ^H7908.’

“But these ^H428 two ^H8147 things ^H8147 will come ^H935 on you suddenly ^H7281 in one ^H259 day ^H3117:

Loss ^H7908 of ^H7908 children ^H7908 and widowhood ^H489.

They will come ^H935 on you in full ^H8537 measure ^H8537

In spite of your many ^H7230 sorceries ^H3785,

In spite of the great ^H3966 might ^H6109 of your spells ^H2267.

“You felt ^H982 secure ^H982 in your evil ^H7451 and said ^H559,

‘No ^H369 one ^H369 sees ^H7200 me,’

Your wisdom ^H2451 and your knowledge ^H1847 [fn]have turned ^H7725 you astray;

So you have said ^H559 in your heart ^H3820,

‘I am, and there ^H657 is ^H657 no ^H657 one ^H657 besides ^H5750 me.’

“But evil ^H7451 will come ^H935 on you

Which you will not know ^H3045 how to charm ^H7837 away ^H7837;

And disaster ^H1943 will fall ^H5307 on you

For which you cannot ^H3201 H3808 atone ^H3722;

And destruction ^H7722 about which you do not know ^H3045

Will come ^H935 on you suddenly ^H6597.

“Stand ^H5975 fast now ^H4994 in your spells ^H2267

And in your many ^H7230 sorceries ^H3785

With which ^H834 you have labored ^H3021 from your youth ^H5271;

Perhaps ^H194 you will be ^H3201 able ^H3201 to profit ^H3276;

Perhaps ^H194 you may cause ^H6206 trembling ^H6206.

“You are wearied ^H3811 with your many ^H7230 counsels ^H6098;

Let now ^H4994 the astrologers ^H1895 H8064,

Those who behold ^H2372 visions by the stars ^H3556,

Those who predict ^H3045 by the new ^H2320 moons ^H2320,

Stand ^H5975 up and save ^H3467 you from what ^H834 will come ^H935 upon you.

“Behold ^H2009, they have become ^H1961 like stubble ^H7179,

Fire ^H784 burns ^H8313 them;

They cannot ^H3808 deliver ^H5337 themselves ^H5315 from the power ^H3027 of the flame ^H3852;

There ^H369 will ^H369 be ^H369 no ^H369 coal ^H1513 to warm ^H2552 by

Nor a fire ^H217 to sit ^H3427 before ^H5048!

“Thus ^H3651 they have become ^H1961 for you, those among whom ^H834 you have labored ^H3021,

Who have traded ^H5503 with you from your youth ^H5271;

Each ^H376 has wandered ^H8582 in his own [fn]way ^H5676;

There ^H369 is ^H369 none ^H369 to save ^H3467 you.
