00:15 Hello and welcome back to "His Words Are Life."
00:17 Today we are going to begin
00:19 reading in the Song of Solomon.
00:21 But let's pray before we start.
00:23 Our dear heavenly Father,
00:24 thank you that we may sit
00:26 and read again from the Song of Songs.
00:30 And as we read, please give to each of our hearts
00:35 a new vision of the love that You have for each one of us
00:39 and the love and the beauty that we should see in You
00:43 and have towards You.
00:45 We ask this in the name of your son Jesus, amen.
00:49 We're beginning in Song of Solomon, Chapter 8,
00:52 this is the King James Version.
00:55 "O that thou wert as my brother,
00:57 that sucked the breasts of my mother.
00:59 When I should find thee without,
01:01 I would kiss thee, yea, I should not be despised.
01:04 I would lead thee, and bring thee into my mother's house,
01:07 who would instruct me.
01:09 I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine
01:11 of the juice of my pomegranate.
01:14 His left hand should be under my head,
01:15 and his right hand should embrace me.
01:18 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
01:20 that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, until he please.
01:25 Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness,
01:28 leaning upon her beloved?
01:30 I raised thee up under the apple tree,
01:32 there thy mother brought thee forth,
01:35 there she brought thee forth that bare thee.
01:38 Set me as a seal upon thine heart,
01:42 as a seal upon thine arm, for love is strong as death,
01:47 jealousy is cruel as the grave,
01:50 the coals thereof are coals of fire,
01:52 which hath a most vehement flame.
01:55 Many waters cannot quench love,
01:58 neither can the floods drown it.
02:00 If a man would give all the substance
02:03 of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.
02:09 We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts,
02:11 what shall we do for our sister in the day
02:13 when she shall be spoken for?
02:16 If she be a wall, we will build
02:19 upon her a palace of silver, and if she be a door,
02:23 we will inclose her with boards of cedar.
02:27 I am a wall, and my breasts like towers,
02:30 then was I in his eyes as one that found favor.
02:35 Solomon had a vineyard at Ba'al-ha'mon,
02:39 he let out the vineyard unto keepers,
02:41 every one for the fruit thereof was to bring
02:44 a thousand pieces of silver.
02:47 My vineyard, which is mine, is before me,
02:51 thou, O Solomon, must have a thousand,
02:53 and those that keep the fruit thereof, two hundred.
02:57 Thou that dwellest in the gardens,
02:59 the companions hearken to thy voice,
03:02 cause me to hear it.
03:04 Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like to a roe
03:08 or to a young hart upon the mountains of spices."
03:14 Continuing now in the Book of Isaiah, Chapter 1,
03:18 this is the King James Version.
03:21 "The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz,
03:24 which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem
03:28 in the days of Uzziah,
03:30 Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
03:36 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth,
03:39 for the Lord hath spoken,
03:41 I have nourished and brought up children,
03:44 and they have rebelled against me.
03:47 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib,
03:51 but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.
03:57 Ah, sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity,
04:02 a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters,
04:05 they have forsaken the Lord,
04:07 they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger,
04:11 they are gone away backward.
04:14 Why should ye be stricken any more?
04:16 Ye will revolt more and more, the whole head is sick,
04:19 and the whole heart faint.
04:22 From the sole of the foot even unto the head
04:24 there is no soundness in it, but wounds,
04:27 and bruises, and putrefying sores,
04:30 they have not been closed, neither bound up,
04:32 neither mollified with ointment.
04:34 Your country is desolate,
04:36 your cities are burned with fire,
04:39 your land, strangers devour it in your presence,
04:42 and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
04:46 And the daughter of Zion is left
04:47 as a cottage in a vineyard,
04:49 as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
04:55 Except the Lord of hosts had left unto us
04:58 a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom,
05:01 and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
05:04 Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom,
05:07 give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.
05:11 To what purpose is the multitude
05:13 of your sacrifices unto me?
05:15 Saith the Lord, I am full of the burnt offerings of rams,
05:18 and the fat of fed beasts,
05:20 and I delight not in the blood of bullocks,
05:22 or of lambs, or of he goats.
05:25 When ye come to appear before me,
05:27 who hath required this at your hand,
05:29 to tread my courts? Bring no more vain oblations,
05:34 incense is an abomination unto me,
05:36 the new moons and Sabbaths,
05:38 the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with,
05:42 it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
05:46 Your new moons and your appointed feast
05:48 my soul hateth, they are a trouble unto me,
05:51 I am weary to bear them.
05:54 And when ye spread forth your hands,
05:56 I will hide mine eyes from you,
05:58 yea, when ye make many prayers,
06:00 I will not hear, your hands are full of blood.
06:05 Wash you, make you clean, put away the evil
06:09 of your doings from before mine eyes, cease to do evil.
06:13 Learn to do well, seek judgment,
06:15 relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless,
06:18 plead for the widow.
06:20 Come now, and let us reason together,
06:23 saith the Lord, though your sins be as scarlet,
06:27 they shall be as white as snow,
06:29 though they be red like crimson,
06:32 they shall be as wool.
06:34 If ye be willing and obedient,
06:36 ye shall eat the good of the land.
06:39 But if ye refuse and rebel,
06:41 ye shall be devoured with the sword,
06:44 for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
06:47 How is the faithful city become an harlot!
06:50 It was full of judgment,
06:52 righteousness lodged in it, but now murderers.
06:57 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water.
07:02 Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves,
07:05 every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards,
07:08 they judge not the fatherless,
07:11 neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.
07:14 Therefore saith the Lord, the Lord of hosts,
07:18 the mighty One of Israel,
07:20 Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries,
07:23 and avenge me of mine enemies
07:25 and I will turn my hand upon thee,
07:28 and purely purge away thy dross,
07:31 and take away all thy tin
07:32 and I will restore thy judges as at the first,
07:36 and thy counsellors as at the beginning,
07:39 afterward thou shalt be called,
07:41 The city of righteousness, the faithful city.
07:45 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment,
07:48 and her converts with righteousness.
07:51 And the destruction of the transgressors
07:54 and of the sinners shall be together,
07:56 and they that forsake the Lord shall be consumed.
08:01 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks
08:02 which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded
08:05 for the gardens that ye have chosen.
08:07 For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth,
08:11 and as a garden that hath no water.
08:14 And the strong shall be as tow,
08:16 and the maker of it as a spark,
08:18 and they shall both burn together,
08:20 and none shall quench them."
08:24 Continuing to read in the Book of Isaiah, Chapter 2.
08:27 This is the King James Version.
08:30 "The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz
08:32 saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
08:36 And it shall come to pass in the last days,
08:39 that the mountain of the Lord's house
08:42 shall be established in the top of the mountains,
08:45 and shall be exalted above the hills,
08:47 and all nations shall flow unto it.
08:50 And many people shall go and say,
08:52 Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
08:55 to the house of the God of Jacob,
08:56 and he will teach us of his ways,
08:58 and we will walk in his paths,
09:01 for out of Zion shall go forth the law,
09:03 and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
09:06 And he shall judge among the nations,
09:09 and shall rebuke many people,
09:10 and they shall beat their swords into plowshares,
09:14 and their spears into pruning hooks,
09:17 nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
09:21 neither shall they learn war any more.
09:25 O house of Jacob, come ye,
09:28 and let us walk in the light of the Lord.
09:32 Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob,
09:35 because they be replenished from the east,
09:37 and are soothsayers like the Philistines,
09:39 and they please themselves in the children of strangers.
09:43 Their land also is full of silver and gold,
09:46 neither is there any end of their treasures,
09:48 their land is also full of horses,
09:50 neither is there any end of their chariots.
09:52 Their land also is full of idols,
09:55 they worship the work of their own hands,
09:58 that which their own fingers have made.
10:02 And the mean man boweth down,
10:04 and the great man humbleth himself,
10:06 therefore forgive them not.
10:08 Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust,
10:11 for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty.
10:14 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled,
10:18 and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down,
10:21 and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
10:26 For the day of the Lord of hosts
10:28 shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty,
10:32 and upon every one that is lifted up,
10:34 and he shall be brought low.
10:36 And upon all the cedars of Lebanon,
10:38 that are high and lifted up,
10:40 and upon all the oaks of Bashan,
10:42 and upon all the high mountains,
10:44 and upon all the hills that are lifted up,
10:46 and upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall,
10:50 and upon all the ships of Tarshish,
10:52 and upon all pleasant pictures.
10:55 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down,
10:58 and the haughtiness of men shall be made low,
11:02 and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
11:07 And the idols he shall utterly abolish.
11:10 And they shall go into the holes of the rocks,
11:12 and into the caves of the earth,
11:13 for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty,
11:16 when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
11:20 In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver,
11:23 and his idols of gold,
11:24 which they made each one for himself to worship,
11:27 to the moles and to the bats.
11:30 To go into the clefts of the rocks,
11:32 and into the tops of the ragged rocks,
11:33 for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty,
11:37 when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
11:40 Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils,
11:44 for wherein is he to be accounted of?
11:49 Continuing in Isaiah, Chapter 3.
11:51 "For, behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts,
11:55 doth take away from Jerusalem
11:57 and from Judah the stay and the staff,
12:00 the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water.
12:04 The mighty man, and the man of war,
12:06 the judge, and the prophet,
12:07 and the prudent, and the ancient.
12:09 The captain of fifty, and the honorable man,
12:12 and the counselor, and the cunning artificer,
12:15 and the eloquent orator.
12:17 And I will give children to be their princes,
12:20 and babes shall rule over them.
12:23 And the people shall be oppressed,
12:24 every one by another, and every one by his neighbor,
12:27 and child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient,
12:31 and the base against the honorable.
12:36 When a man shall take hold of his brother
12:38 of the house of his father, saying, Thou hast clothing,
12:42 be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand.
12:45 In that day shall he swear, saying,
12:47 I will not be an healer,
12:48 for in my house is neither bread nor clothing,
12:51 make me not a ruler of the people.
12:53 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen,
12:57 because their tongue and their doings are against the Lord,
13:01 to provoke the eyes of his glory.
13:04 The show of their countenance doth witness against them,
13:07 and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not.
13:11 Woe unto their soul!
13:13 For they have rewarded evil unto themselves.
13:17 Say ye to the righteous,
13:19 that it shall be well with him,
13:20 for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
13:22 Woe unto the wicked! It shall be ill with him,
13:26 for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
13:30 As for my people, children are their oppressors,
13:33 and women rule over them.
13:35 O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err,
13:39 and destroy the way of thy paths.
13:43 The Lord standeth up to plead,
13:45 and standeth to judge the people.
13:48 The Lord will enter into judgment
13:50 with the ancients of his people,
13:51 and the princes thereof,
13:53 for ye have eaten up the vineyard,
13:55 the spoil of the poor is in your houses.
13:58 What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces,
14:01 and grind the faces of the poor?
14:03 Saith the Lord God of hosts.
14:06 Moreover the Lord saith,
14:08 because the daughters of Zion are haughty,
14:11 and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes,
14:14 walking and mincing as they go,
14:16 and making a tinkling with their feet.
14:19 Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab
14:21 the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion,
14:24 and the Lord will discover their secret parts.
14:28 In that day the Lord will take away the bravery
14:31 of their tinkling ornaments about their feet,
14:33 and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon."
