4:1 Seven women will grab hold of
one man at that time. 1
They will say, “We will provide 2 our own food,
we will provide 3 our own clothes;
but let us belong to you 4 –
take away our shame!” 5
23:15 At that time 6 Tyre will be forgotten for seventy years, 7 the typical life span of a king. 8 At the end of seventy years Tyre will try to attract attention again, like the prostitute in the popular song: 9
30:6 This is a message 10 about the animals in the Negev:
Through a land of distress and danger,
inhabited by lionesses and roaring lions, 11
by snakes and darting adders, 12
they transport 13 their wealth on the backs of donkeys,
their riches on the humps of camels,
to a nation that cannot help them. 14
33:14 Sinners are afraid in Zion;
panic 15 grips the godless. 16
They say, 17 ‘Who among us can coexist with destructive fire?
Who among us can coexist with unquenchable 18 fire?’
37:30 19 “This will be your reminder that I have spoken the truth: 20 This year you will eat what grows wild, 21 and next year 22 what grows on its own. But the year after that 23 you will plant seed and harvest crops; you will plant vines and consume their produce. 24
42:24 Who handed Jacob over to the robber?
Who handed Israel over to the looters? 25
Was it not the Lord, against whom we sinned?
They refused to follow his commands;
they disobeyed his law. 26
50:10 Who among you fears the Lord?
Who obeys 27 his servant?
Whoever walks in deep darkness, 28
without light,
should trust in the name of the Lord
and rely on his God.
50:11 Look, all of you who start a fire
and who equip yourselves with 29 flaming arrows, 30
walk 31 in the light 32 of the fire you started
and among the flaming arrows you ignited! 33
This is what you will receive from me: 34
you will lie down in a place of pain. 35
51:13 Why do you forget 36 the Lord, who made you,
who stretched out the sky 37
and founded the earth?
Why do you constantly tremble all day long 38
at the anger of the oppressor,
when he makes plans to destroy?
Where is the anger of the oppressor? 39
53:12 So I will assign him a portion with the multitudes, 40
he will divide the spoils of victory with the powerful, 41
because he willingly submitted 42 to death
and was numbered with the rebels,
when he lifted up the sin of many
and intervened 43 on behalf of the rebels.”
54:9 “As far as I am concerned, this is like in Noah’s time, 44
when I vowed that the waters of Noah’s flood 45 would never again cover the earth.
In the same way I have vowed that I will not be angry at you or shout at you.
58:14 Then you will find joy in your relationship to the Lord, 46
and I will give you great prosperity, 47
and cause crops to grow on the land I gave to your ancestor Jacob.” 48
Know for certain that the Lord has spoken. 49
65:22 No longer will they build a house only to have another live in it, 50
or plant a vineyard only to have another eat its fruit, 51
for my people will live as long as trees, 52
and my chosen ones will enjoy to the fullest what they have produced. 53
65:25 A wolf and a lamb will graze together; 54
a lion, like an ox, will eat straw, 55
and a snake’s food will be dirt. 56
They will no longer injure or destroy
on my entire royal mountain,” 57 says the Lord.
