Isaiah 4

Isaiah 4 - King James Version

 1And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.

 2In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel.

 3And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem:

 4When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.

 5And the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defence.

 6And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the day time from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain.

Isaiah 3

Isaiah 3 - King James Version

 1For, behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water.

 2The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,

 3The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counsellor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.

 4And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.

 5And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.

 6When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, saying, Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand:

 7In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be an healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of the people.

 8For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory.

 9The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.

 10Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.

 11Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.

 12As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.

 13The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people.

 14The LORD will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses.

 15What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord GOD of hosts.

 16Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:

 17Therefore the LORD will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will discover their secret parts.

 18In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon,

 19The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,

 20The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings,

 21The rings, and nose jewels,

 22The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins,

 23The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails.

 24And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty.

 25Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.

 26And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate shall sit upon the ground.

Isaiah 2

Isaiah 2 - King James Version

 1The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

 2And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.

 3And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

 4And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

 5O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.

 6Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers.

 7Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots:

 8Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:

 9And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not.

 10Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty.

 11The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.

 12For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:

 13And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,

 14And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up,

 15And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall,

 16And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures.

 17And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.

 18And the idols he shall utterly abolish.

 19And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

 20In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;

 21To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

 22Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?

Song of Solomon 8

Song of Solomon 8 - King James Version

 1O that thou wert as my brother, that sucked the breasts of my mother! when I should find thee without, I would kiss thee; yea, I should not be despised.

 2I would lead thee, and bring thee into my mother's house, who would instruct me: I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine of the juice of my pomegranate.

 3His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.

 4I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, until he please.

 5Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? I raised thee up under the apple tree: there thy mother brought thee forth: there she brought thee forth that bare thee.

 6Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.

 7Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.

 8We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts: what shall we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for?

 9If she be a wall, we will build upon her a palace of silver: and if she be a door, we will inclose her with boards of cedar.

 10I am a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as one that found favour.

 11Solomon had a vineyard at Baalhamon; he let out the vineyard unto keepers; every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a thousand pieces of silver.

 12My vineyard, which is mine, is before me: thou, O Solomon, must have a thousand, and those that keep the fruit thereof two hundred.

 13Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions hearken to thy voice: cause me to hear it.

 14Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like to a roe or to a young hart upon the mountains of spices.

Song of Solomon 7

Song of Solomon 7 - King James Version

 1How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O prince's daughter! the joints of thy thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a cunning workman.

 2Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor: thy belly is like an heap of wheat set about with lilies.

 3Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins.

 4Thy neck is as a tower of ivory; thine eyes like the fishpools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bathrabbim: thy nose is as the tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus.

 5Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine head like purple; the king is held in the galleries.

 6How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!

 7This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes.

 8I said, I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of the boughs thereof: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy nose like apples;

 9And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine for my beloved, that goeth down sweetly, causing the lips of those that are asleep to speak.

 10I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me.

 11Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us lodge in the villages.

 12Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine flourish, whether the tender grape appear, and the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give thee my loves.

 13The mandrakes give a smell, and at our gates are all manner of pleasant fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved.

Song of Solomon 6

Song of Solomon 6 - King James Version

 1Whither is thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among women? whither is thy beloved turned aside? that we may seek him with thee.

 2My beloved is gone down into his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.

 3I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine: he feedeth among the lilies.

 4Thou art beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah, comely as Jerusalem, terrible as an army with banners.

 5Turn away thine eyes from me, for they have overcome me: thy hair is as a flock of goats that appear from Gilead.

 6Thy teeth are as a flock of sheep which go up from the washing, whereof every one beareth twins, and there is not one barren among them.

 7As a piece of a pomegranate are thy temples within thy locks.

 8There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines, and virgins without number.

 9My dove, my undefiled is but one; she is the only one of her mother, she is the choice one of her that bare her. The daughters saw her, and blessed her; yea, the queens and the concubines, and they praised her.

 10Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners?

 11I went down into the garden of nuts to see the fruits of the valley, and to see whether the vine flourished and the pomegranates budded.

 12Or ever I was aware, my soul made me like the chariots of Amminadib.

 13Return, return, O Shulamite; return, return, that we may look upon thee. What will ye see in the Shulamite? As it were the company of two armies.
