Isaiah - douay rheims

Chapter 26

¹ IN that day shall this canticle be sung the land of Juda. Sion the city of our strength a saviour, a wall and a bulwark shall be set therein.
² Open ye the gates, and let the just nation, that keepeth the truth, enter in.
³ The old error is passed away: thou wilt keep peace: peace, because we have hoped in thee.
⁴ You have hoped in the Lord for evermore, in the Lord God mighty for ever.
⁵ For he shall bring down them that dwell on high, the high city he shall lay low. He shall bring it down even to the ground, he shall pull it down even to the dust.
⁶ The foot shall tread it down, the feet of the poor, the steps of the needy.
⁷ The way of the just is right, the path of the just is right to walk in.
⁸ And in the way of thy judgments, O Lord, we have patiently waited for thee: thy name, and thy remembrance are the desire of the soul.
⁹ My soul hath desired thee in the night: yea, and with my spirit within me in the morning early I will watch to thee. When thou shalt do thy judgments on the earth, the inhabitants of the world shall learn justice.
¹⁰ Let us have pity on the wicked, but he will not learn justice: in the land of the saints he hath done wicked things, and he shall not see the glory of the Lord.
¹¹ Lord, let thy hand be exalted, and let them not see: let the envious people see, and be confounded: and let fire devour thy enemies.
¹² Lord, thou wilt give us peace: for thou hast wrought all our works for us.
¹³ O Lord our God, other lords besides thee have had dominion over us, only in thee let us remember thy name.
¹⁴ Let not the dead live, let not the giants rise again: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and best destroyed all their memory.
¹⁵ Thou hast been favourable to the nation, O Lord, thou hast been favourable to the nation: art thou glorified? thou hast removed all the ends of the earth far off.
¹⁶ Lord, they have sought after thee in distress, in the tribulation of murmuring thy instruction was with them.
¹⁷ As a woman with child, when she draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs: so are we become in thy presence, O Lord.
¹⁸ We have conceived, and been as it were in labour, and have brought forth wind: we have not wrought salvation on the earth, therefore the inhabitants of the earth have not fallen.
¹⁹ Thy dead men shall live, my slain shall rise again: awake, and give praise, ye that dwell in the dust: for thy dew is the dew of the light: and the land of the giants thou shalt pull down into ruin.
²⁰ Go, my people, enter into thy chambers, shut thy doors upon thee, hide thyself a little for a moment, until the indignation pass away.
²¹ For behold the Lord will come out of his place, to visit the iniquity of the inhabitant of the earth against him: and the earth shall disclose her blood, and shall cover her slain no more.

Chapter 26

¹ In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks.
² Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in.
³ Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
⁴ Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:
⁵ For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low; he layeth it low, even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust.
⁶ The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.
⁷ The way of the just is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just.
⁸ Yes, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee.
⁹ With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yes, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
¹⁰ Let favor be shown to the wicked, yet he will not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness he will deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD.
¹¹ LORD, when thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yes, the fire of thy enemies shall devour them.
¹² LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us.
¹³ O LORD our God, other lords beside thee have had dominion over us; but by thee only will we make mention of thy name.
¹⁴ They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.
¹⁵ Thou hast increased the nation, O LORD, thou hast increased the nation; thou art glorified: thou hadst removed it far to all the ends of the earth.
¹⁶ LORD, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them.
¹⁷ As a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O LORD.
¹⁸ We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance on the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
¹⁹ Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
²⁰ Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee; hide thyself as it were for a little moment until the indignation shall be overpast.
²¹ For behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

² the gates, that the righteous nation may enter: the one which keeps faith.
³ will keep whoever's mind is steadfast in perfect peace, because he trusts in you.
⁴ in Yahweh forever; for in Yah, Yahweh, is an everlasting Rock.
⁵ he has brought down those who dwell on high, the lofty city. He lays it low. He lays it low even to the ground. He brings it even to the dust.
⁶ foot shall tread it down; Even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy."
⁷ way of the just is uprightness. You who are upright make the path of the righteous level.
⁸ in the way of your judgments, Yahweh, have we waited for you. Your name and your renown are the desire of our soul.
⁹ my soul have I desired you in the night. Yes, with my spirit within me will I seek you earnestly; for when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
¹⁰ favor be shown to the wicked, yet he will not learn righteousness. In the land of uprightness he will deal wrongfully, and will not see Yahweh's majesty.
¹¹ your hand is lifted up, yet they don't see; but they will see your zeal for the people, and be disappointed. Yes, fire will consume your adversaries.
¹² you will ordain peace for us, for you have also worked all our works for us.
¹³ our God, other lords besides you have had dominion over us, but by you only will we make mention of your name.
¹⁴ dead shall not live. The deceased shall not rise. Therefore have you visited and destroyed them, and caused all memory of them to perish.
¹⁵ have increased the nation, O Yahweh. You have increased the nation! You are glorified! You have enlarged all the borders of the land.
¹⁶ in trouble they have visited you. They poured out a prayer when your chastening was on them.
¹⁷ as a woman with child, who draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain and cries out in her pangs; so we have been before you, Yahweh.
¹⁸ have been with child. We have been in pain. We gave birth, it seems, only to wind. We have not worked any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
¹⁹ dead shall live. My dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust; for your dew is like the dew of herbs, and the earth will cast forth the dead.
²⁰ my people, enter into your rooms, and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourself for a little moment, until the indignation is past.
²¹ behold, Yahweh comes forth out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. The earth also will disclose her blood, and will no longer cover her slain.

⁹ With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.

¹⁷ As a woman with child, that draweth near her delivery, is in travail, [and] crieth out in her pangs; so have we been before thee, Jehovah.
¹⁸ We have been with child, we have been in travail, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought the deliverance of the land, neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.

Chapter 26

¹ In that day will this song be made in the land of Judah: We have a strong town; he will make salvation our walls and towers.
² Let the doors be open, so that the upright nation which keeps faith may come in.
³ The man whose heart is unmoved you will keep in peace, because his hope is in you.
⁴ Let your hope be in the Lord for ever: for the Lord Jah is an unchanging Rock.
⁵ For he has made low those who are lifted up, all the people of the town of pride: he makes it low, crushing it down to the earth; he makes it low in the dust.
⁶ It will be crushed under the feet of the poor and the steps of those who are in need.
⁷ The way of the good man is straight; the road of the upright is made smooth by you.
⁸ We have been waiting for you, O Lord; the desire of our soul is for the memory of your name.
⁹ In the night the desire of my soul has been for you; early will my spirit be searching for you; for when your punishments come on the earth, the people of the world will get the knowledge of righteousness.
¹⁰ Even if you are kind to the evil-doer, he will not go after righteousness; even in the land of the upright he will still go on in his wrongdoing, and will not see the glory of the Lord.
¹¹ Lord, your hand is lifted up, but they do not see: let them see ... yes, your haters will be burned up in the fire.
¹² Lord, you will give us peace: for all our works are the outcome of your purpose.
¹³ O Lord, our God, other lords than you have had rule over us; but in you only is our salvation, and no other name will we take on our lips.
¹⁴ The dead will not come back to life: their spirits will not come back to earth; for this cause you have sent destruction on them, so that the memory of them is dead.
¹⁵ You have made the nation great, O Lord, you have made it great; glory is yours: you have made wide the limits of the land.
¹⁶ Lord, in trouble our eyes have been turned to you, we sent up a prayer when your punishment was on us.
¹⁷ As a woman with child, whose time is near, is troubled, crying out in her pain; so have we been before you, O Lord.
¹⁸ We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have given birth to wind; no salvation has come to the earth through us, and no children have come into the world.
¹⁹ Your dead will come back; their dead bodies will come to life again. Those in the dust, awaking from their sleep, will send out a song; for your dew is a dew of light, and the earth will give birth to the shades.
²⁰ Come, my people, into your secret places, and let your doors be shut: keep yourself safe for a short time, till his wrath is over.
²¹ For the Lord is coming out of his place to send punishment on the people of the earth for their evil-doing: the earth will let the blood drained out on her be seen, and will keep her dead covered no longer.
