00:15 Hello, and welcome to "His Words Are Life."
00:18 I'm Kelly Mowrer,
00:19 and thank you for joining with me today
00:21 to read the Bible together.
00:22 Let's pray before we start.
00:25 Dear Heavenly Father,
00:26 thank you for this opportunity
00:27 to read the words of Isaiah,
00:30 as he talks about You as our Savior.
00:33 Please show us today
00:36 in everything that each one of us are facing,
00:39 how You are our source and our supply,
00:42 our redeemer and our rock.
00:45 We love you so much
00:46 and thank you for loving us, amen.
00:50 We are reading in the book of Isaiah Chapter 32,
00:53 picking up in verse 3.
00:56 Isaiah is writing about
00:57 "when the king shall reign in righteousness."
01:01 And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim,
01:06 and the ears of them that hear shall hearken.
01:09 The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge,
01:12 and the tongue of the stammerers
01:14 shall be ready to speak plainly.
01:17 The vile person shall be no more called liberal,
01:20 nor the churl said to be bountiful.
01:23 For the vile person will speak villany,
01:25 and his heart will work iniquity,
01:26 to practise hypocrisy,
01:28 and to utter error against the Lord,
01:31 to make empty the soul of the hungry,
01:33 and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
01:37 The instruments also of the churl are evil,
01:40 he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor
01:44 with lying words,
01:45 even when the needy speaketh right.
01:48 But the liberal deviseth liberal things,
01:51 and by liberal things shall he stand.
01:54 Rise up, ye women that are at ease,
01:57 hear my voice, ye careless daughters,
01:59 give ear unto my speech.
02:01 Many days and years shall ye be troubled,
02:04 ye careless women, for the vintage shall fail,
02:08 the gathering shall not come.
02:11 Tremble, ye women that are at ease,
02:14 be troubled, ye careless ones,
02:16 strip you, and make you bare,
02:17 and gird sackcloth upon your loins.
02:20 They shall lament for the teats,
02:22 for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
02:26 Upon the land of my people
02:27 shall come up thorns and briers,
02:29 yea, upon all the houses of joy
02:32 in the joyous city,
02:33 Because the palaces shall be forsaken,
02:36 the multitude of the city shall be left,
02:39 the forts and towers shall be for dens for ever,
02:43 a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks,
02:47 Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high,
02:51 and the wilderness be a fruitful field,
02:53 and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.
02:57 Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness,
02:59 and righteousness remain in the fruitful field.
03:03 And the work of righteousness shall be peace,
03:06 and the effect of righteousness
03:08 quietness and assurance for ever.
03:12 And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation,
03:16 and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places,
03:21 When it shall hail, coming down on the forest,
03:24 and the city shall be low in a low place.
03:27 Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters,
03:31 that send forth thither
03:32 the feet of the ox and the ass."
03:36 Continuing to read in Isaiah,
03:38 this is Chapter 33 in the King James Version.
03:43 "Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled,
03:48 and dealest treacherously,
03:49 and they dealt not treacherously with thee!
03:52 when thou shalt cease to spoil,
03:54 thou shalt be spoiled,
03:56 and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously,
03:59 they shall deal treacherously with thee.
04:02 O Lord, be gracious unto us, we have waited for thee,
04:08 be thou their arm every morning,
04:11 our salvation also in the time of trouble.
04:14 At the noise of the tumult the people fled,
04:17 at the lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered.
04:21 And your spoil shall be gathered
04:22 like the gathering of the caterpiller,
04:24 as the running to and fro of locusts
04:27 shall he run upon them.
04:29 The Lord is exalted, for he dwelleth on high,
04:33 he hath filled Zion
04:34 with judgment and righteousness.
04:37 And wisdom and knowledge
04:39 shall be the stability of thy times,
04:42 and strength of salvation,
04:44 the fear of the Lord is his treasure.
04:48 Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without,
04:51 the ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.
04:55 The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth,
04:59 he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities,
05:03 he regardeth no man.
05:06 The earth mourneth and languisheth,
05:09 Lebanon is ashamed and hewn down,
05:12 Sharon is like a wilderness,
05:14 and Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits.
05:18 Now will I rise, saith the Lord,
05:21 now will I be exalted, now will I lift up myself.
05:27 Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble,
05:31 your breath, as fire, shall devour you.
05:34 And the people shall be as the burnings of lime,
05:37 as thorns cut up
05:39 shall they be burned in the fire.
05:42 Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done,
05:46 and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might.
05:50 The sinners in Zion are afraid,
05:52 fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites.
05:56 Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire?
06:00 Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
06:04 He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly,
06:07 he that despiseth the gain of oppressions,
06:11 that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes,
06:14 that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood,
06:18 and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil,
06:22 He shall dwell on high,
06:24 his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks,
06:28 bread shall be given him, his waters shall be sure.
06:33 Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty,
06:36 they shall behold the land that is very far off.
06:39 Thine heart shall meditate terror.
06:41 Where is the scribe?
06:42 Where is the receiver?
06:43 Where is he that counted the towers?
06:46 Thou shalt not see a fierce people,
06:49 a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive,
06:52 of a stammering tongue,
06:53 that thou canst not understand.
06:56 Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities,
07:00 thine eyes shall see Jerusalem
07:02 a quiet habitation,
07:04 a tabernacle that shall not be taken down,
07:07 not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed,
07:11 neither shall any of the cords
07:12 thereof be broken.
07:14 But there the glorious Lord will be unto us
07:18 a place of broad rivers and streams,
07:22 wherein shall go no galley with oars,
07:24 neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.
07:27 For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver,
07:32 the Lord is our king, he will save us.
07:36 Thy tacklings are loosed,
07:38 they could not well strengthen their mast,
07:41 they could not spread the sail,
07:43 then is the prey of a great spoil divided,
07:46 the lame take the prey.
07:48 And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick,
07:51 the people that dwell therein
07:54 shall be forgiven their iniquity."
07:57 Continuing in the book of Isaiah
07:59 Chapter 34 and this is the King James Version.
08:03 "Come near, ye nations, to hear, and hearken,
08:05 ye people, let the earth hear,
08:08 and all that is therein,
08:10 the world, and all things that come forth of it.
08:13 For the indignation of the Lord
08:14 is upon all nations,
08:15 and his fury upon all their armies,
08:18 he hath utterly destroyed them,
08:20 he hath delivered them to the slaughter.
08:23 Their slain also shall be cast out,
08:25 and their stink shall come up out of their carcases,
08:28 and the mountains shall be melted with their blood.
08:32 And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved,
08:34 and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll,
08:39 and all their host shall fall down,
08:41 as the leaf falleth off from the vine,
08:44 and as a falling fig from the fig tree.
08:48 For my sword shall be bathed in heaven,
08:51 behold, it shall come down upon Idumea,
08:54 and upon the people of my curse, to judgment.
08:58 The sword of the Lord is filled with blood,
09:01 it is made fat with fatness,
09:03 and with the blood of lambs and goats,
09:05 with the fat of the kidneys of rams,
09:08 for the Lord hath a sacrifice in Bozrah,
09:11 and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea.
09:15 And the unicorns shall come down with them,
09:17 and the bullocks with the bulls,
09:19 and their land shall be soaked with blood,
09:21 and their dust made fat with fatness.
09:24 For it is the day of the Lord's vengeance,
09:26 and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion.
09:31 And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch,
09:34 and the dust thereof into brimstone,
09:36 and the land thereof shall become burning pitch.
09:40 It shall not be quenched night nor day,
09:43 the smoke thereof shall go up for ever,
09:45 from generation to generation it shall lie waste,
09:49 none shall pass through it for ever and ever.
09:53 But the cormorant
09:54 and the bittern shall possess it,
09:56 the owl also and the raven shall dwell in it,
10:00 and he shall stretch out upon it
10:02 the line of confusion, and the stones of emptiness.
10:07 They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom,
10:09 but none shall be there,
10:11 and all her princes shall be nothing.
10:14 And thorns shall come up in her palaces,
10:16 nettles and brambles in the fortresses thereof,
10:20 and it shall be an habitation of dragons,
10:23 and a court for owls.
10:25 The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet
10:27 with the wild beasts of the island,
10:29 and the satyr shall cry to his fellow,
10:31 the screech owl also shall rest there,
10:34 and find for herself a place of rest.
10:37 There shall the great owl make her nest,
10:39 and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow,
10:43 there shall the vultures also be gathered,
10:46 every one with her mate.
10:49 Seek ye out of the book of the Lord, and read,
10:53 no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate,
10:56 for my mouth it hath commanded,
10:59 and his spirit it hath gathered them.
11:03 And he hath cast the lot for them,
11:04 and his hand hath divided it unto them by line,
11:08 they shall possess it for ever,
11:09 from generation to generation shall they dwell therein".
11:14 We are reading now in Isaiah
11:16 Chapter 35 and this is the King James Version.
11:20 "The wilderness and the solitary place
11:22 shall be glad for them, and the desert shall rejoice,
11:26 and blossom as the rose.
11:29 It shall blossom abundantly,
11:31 and rejoice even with joy and singing,
11:34 the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it,
11:37 the excellency of Carmel and Sharon,
11:39 they shall see the glory of the Lord,
11:41 and the excellency of our God.
11:44 Strengthen ye the weak hands,
11:47 and confirm the feeble knees.
11:50 Say to them that are of a fearful heart,
11:53 Be strong, fear not,
11:55 behold, your God will come with vengeance,
11:59 even God with a recompence, he will come and save you.
12:05 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened,
12:08 and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.
12:10 Then shall the lame man leap as an hart,
12:14 and the tongue of the dumb sing,
12:16 for in the wilderness shall waters break out,
12:19 and streams in the desert.
12:21 And the parched ground shall become a pool,
12:23 and the thirsty land springs of water,
12:27 in the habitation of dragons, where each lay,
12:30 shall be grass with reeds and rushes.
12:34 And an highway shall be there,
12:35 and a way, and it shall be called
12:37 The way of holiness,
12:39 the unclean shall not pass over it,
12:41 but it shall be for those, the wayfaring men,
12:45 though fools, shall not err therein.
12:48 No lion shall be there,
12:50 nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon,
12:53 it shall not be found there,
12:55 but the redeemed shall walk there,
12:58 And the ransomed of the Lord shall return,
13:01 and come to Zion with songs
13:03 and everlasting joy upon their heads,
13:06 they shall obtain joy and gladness,
13:09 and sorrow and sighing shall flee away."
13:14 Continuing in Isaiah Chapter 36.
13:18 "Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year
13:21 of king Hezekiah,
13:22 that Sennacherib king of Assyria
13:25 came up against all the defenced cities of Judah,
13:28 and took them.
13:30 And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh
13:34 from Lachish to Jerusalem
13:36 unto king Hezekiah with a great army.
13:39 And he stood by the conduit of the upper pool
13:42 in the highway of the fuller's field.
13:45 Then came forth unto him Eliakim,
13:48 Hilkiah's son, which was over the house,
13:51 and Shebna the scribe, and Joah,
13:54 Asaph's son, the recorder.
13:57 And Rabshakeh said unto them, Say ye now to Hezekiah,
14:02 Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria,
14:06 What confidence is this wherein thou trustest?
14:11 I say, sayest thou, but they are but vain words
14:16 I have counsel and strength for war,
14:19 now on whom dost thou trust,
14:21 that thou rebellest against me?
14:24 Lo, thou trustest in the staff
14:26 of this broken reed, on Egypt,
14:29 whereon if a man lean, it will go into his hand,
14:31 and pierce it,
14:33 so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust in him.
