Now the Host

And Adam
called his wife's name Eve;
because
she
was the mother of all living.

These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when

they
were created,
in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,

**
And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them:
and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.

***
and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth,
and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

***


Then said
he,
What have they seen in thine house?
And Hezekiah answered, All that is in mine house have they seen:
there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them.
**
And God called the light Day,
and the darkness he called Night.
And the evening
and the morning were the first day.
***
And God made the firmament,

and divided the waters which were under the firmament - from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

***
And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
And to rule over the day - and over the night,
and to divide the light from the darkness:

***
Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word of the Lord of hosts:
Behold, the days come, that all that is in thine house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried to Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the Lord.
**
Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen:
a people whom I have not known shall serve me.
As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.
The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.
The Lord liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
  It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.
He delivereth me from mine enemies:
yea,
thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me:
thou hast delivered me from the violent man.
Therefore will I give thanks unto thee,
O Lord,
among the heathen,
and sing praises unto thy name.
Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed,
to David,
and
to
his seed
IMMANUEL
for evermore.
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handiwork.
Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world.
In
them hath he set a tabernacle
for the sun,
Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it:
and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the so God rule:
the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart:
the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.
The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever:
the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
More to be desired are they than gold,
yea,
than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
Moreover by them is thy servant warned:
and in keeping of them there is great reward.

***
And of thy sons that shall
issue
from thee,
which thou shalt beget,
shall they take away;
and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.
Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good is the word of the Lord which thou hast spoken.
He said moreover,
For there shall be peace and truth in my days.
Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.
**
And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened
her mouth
to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;

***
Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished,
*
she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
*
she took of the fruit thereof,
and did eat,
and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
*
And the man said,
The woman whom thou gavest to be with me,
she gave me of the tree,
and I did eat.





*
that her inequity is pardoned:
for she
hath received of the Lord's hand double for all her sins.
The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness,
Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low:
and the crooked shall be made straight,
and the rough places plain:
And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed,
and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord ISamuelyeaOhath spoken it.

The 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.

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I
will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God;
in
him will I trust.
Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness;
nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
*
We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

**
Thine are we,
David,
and
on
thy side,
thou son of Jesse: peace, peace be unto thee, and peace be to thine helpers; for thy God helpeth thee.
**
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
*
And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.

Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee:
thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side.
*
For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
**
Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee.
thy habitation;
*
God shall enlarge Japheth,
and
he
shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

**
There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
*
For it
increaseth.
Thou huntest me as a fierce lion:
And
again
thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me.

Thou re-newest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me; changes and war are against me.

**

Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him:
I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
IMMANUEL
He shall call upon me, and I will answer him:
I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him,
and
honour
him.

*
Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:

**
With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
