New International Version
Isaiah 10:20-13:22
New International Version
The Remnant of Israel
20 In that day(A) the remnant of Israel,
the survivors(B) of Jacob,
will no longer rely(C) on him
who struck them down(D)
but will truly rely(E) on the Lord,
the Holy One of Israel.(F)
21 A remnant(G) will return,[a](H) a remnant of Jacob
will return to the Mighty God.(I)
22 Though your people be like the sand(J) by the sea, Israel,
only a remnant will return.(K)
Destruction has been decreed,(L)
overwhelming and righteous.
23 The Lord, the Lord Almighty, will carry out
the destruction decreed(M) upon the whole land.(N)
24 Therefore this is what the Lord, the Lord Almighty, says:
“My people who live in Zion,(O)
do not be afraid(P) of the Assyrians,
who beat(Q) you with a rod(R)
and lift up a club against you, as Egypt did.
25 Very soon(S) my anger against you will end
and my wrath(T) will be directed to their destruction.(U)”
26 The Lord Almighty will lash(V) them with a whip,
as when he struck down Midian(W) at the rock of Oreb;
and he will raise his staff(X) over the waters,(Y)
as he did in Egypt.
27 In that day(Z) their burden(AA) will be lifted from your shoulders,
their yoke(AB) from your neck;(AC)
the yoke(AD) will be broken
because you have grown so fat.[b]
28 They enter Aiath;
they pass through Migron;(AE)
they store supplies(AF) at Mikmash.(AG)
29 They go over the pass, and say,
“We will camp overnight at Geba.(AH)”
Ramah(AI) trembles;
Gibeah(AJ) of Saul flees.(AK)
30 Cry out, Daughter Gallim!(AL)
Listen, Laishah!
Poor Anathoth!(AM)
31 Madmenah is in flight;
the people of Gebim take cover.
32 This day they will halt at Nob;(AN)
they will shake their fist(AO)
at the mount of Daughter Zion,(AP)
at the hill of Jerusalem.
33 See, the Lord, the Lord Almighty,
will lop off(AQ) the boughs with great power.
The lofty trees will be felled,(AR)
the tall(AS) ones will be brought low.(AT)
34 He will cut down(AU) the forest thickets with an ax;
Lebanon(AV) will fall before the Mighty One.(AW)
The Branch From Jesse
11 A shoot(AX) will come up from the stump(AY) of Jesse;(AZ)
from his roots a Branch(BA) will bear fruit.(BB)
2 The Spirit(BC) of the Lord will rest on him—
the Spirit of wisdom(BD) and of understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and of might,(BE)
the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord—
3 and he will delight in the fear(BF) of the Lord.
He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes,(BG)
or decide by what he hears with his ears;(BH)
4 but with righteousness(BI) he will judge the needy,(BJ)
with justice(BK) he will give decisions for the poor(BL) of the earth.
He will strike(BM) the earth with the rod of his mouth;(BN)
with the breath(BO) of his lips he will slay the wicked.(BP)
5 Righteousness will be his belt(BQ)
and faithfulness(BR) the sash around his waist.(BS)
6 The wolf will live with the lamb,(BT)
the leopard will lie down with the goat,
the calf and the lion and the yearling[c] together;
and a little child will lead them.
7 The cow will feed with the bear,
their young will lie down together,
and the lion will eat straw like the ox.(BU)
8 The infant(BV) will play near the cobra’s den,
and the young child will put its hand into the viper’s(BW) nest.
9 They will neither harm nor destroy(BX)
on all my holy mountain,(BY)
for the earth(BZ) will be filled with the knowledge(CA) of the Lord
as the waters cover the sea.
10 In that day(CB) the Root of Jesse(CC) will stand as a banner(CD) for the peoples; the nations(CE) will rally to him,(CF) and his resting place(CG) will be glorious.(CH) 11 In that day(CI) the Lord will reach out his hand a second time to reclaim the surviving remnant(CJ) of his people from Assyria,(CK) from Lower Egypt, from Upper Egypt,(CL) from Cush,[d](CM) from Elam,(CN) from Babylonia,[e] from Hamath(CO) and from the islands(CP) of the Mediterranean.(CQ)
12 He will raise a banner(CR) for the nations
and gather(CS) the exiles of Israel;(CT)
he will assemble the scattered people(CU) of Judah
from the four quarters of the earth.(CV)
13 Ephraim’s jealousy will vanish,
and Judah’s enemies[f] will be destroyed;
Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah,
nor Judah hostile toward Ephraim.(CW)
14 They will swoop down on the slopes of Philistia(CX) to the west;
together they will plunder the people to the east.(CY)
They will subdue Edom(CZ) and Moab,(DA)
and the Ammonites(DB) will be subject to them.(DC)
15 The Lord will dry up(DD)
the gulf of the Egyptian sea;
with a scorching wind(DE) he will sweep his hand(DF)
over the Euphrates River.(DG)
He will break it up into seven streams
so that anyone can cross over in sandals.(DH)
16 There will be a highway(DI) for the remnant(DJ) of his people
that is left from Assyria,(DK)
as there was for Israel
when they came up from Egypt.(DL)
Songs of Praise
12 In that day(DM) you will say:
“I will praise(DN) you, Lord.
Although you were angry with me,
your anger has turned away(DO)
and you have comforted(DP) me.
2 Surely God is my salvation;(DQ)
I will trust(DR) and not be afraid.
The Lord, the Lord himself,(DS) is my strength(DT) and my defense[g];
he has become my salvation.(DU)”
3 With joy you will draw water(DV)
from the wells(DW) of salvation.
4 In that day(DX) you will say:
“Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name;(DY)
make known among the nations(DZ) what he has done,
and proclaim that his name is exalted.(EA)
5 Sing(EB) to the Lord, for he has done glorious things;(EC)
let this be known to all the world.
6 Shout aloud and sing for joy,(ED) people of Zion,
for great(EE) is the Holy One of Israel(EF) among you.(EG)”
A Prophecy Against Babylon
13 A prophecy(EH) against Babylon(EI) that Isaiah son of Amoz(EJ) saw:(EK)
2 Raise a banner(EL) on a bare hilltop,
shout to them;
beckon to them
to enter the gates(EM) of the nobles.
3 I have commanded those I prepared for battle;
I have summoned my warriors(EN) to carry out my wrath(EO)—
those who rejoice(EP) in my triumph.
4 Listen, a noise on the mountains,
like that of a great multitude!(EQ)
Listen, an uproar(ER) among the kingdoms,
like nations massing together!
The Lord Almighty(ES) is mustering(ET)
an army for war.
5 They come from faraway lands,
from the ends of the heavens(EU)—
the Lord and the weapons(EV) of his wrath(EW)—
to destroy(EX) the whole country.
6 Wail,(EY) for the day(EZ) of the Lord is near;
it will come like destruction(FA) from the Almighty.[h](FB)
7 Because of this, all hands will go limp,(FC)
every heart will melt with fear.(FD)
8 Terror(FE) will seize them,
pain and anguish will grip(FF) them;
they will writhe like a woman in labor.(FG)
They will look aghast at each other,
their faces aflame.(FH)
9 See, the day(FI) of the Lord is coming
—a cruel(FJ) day, with wrath(FK) and fierce anger(FL)—
to make the land desolate
and destroy the sinners within it.
10 The stars of heaven and their constellations
will not show their light.(FM)
The rising sun(FN) will be darkened(FO)
and the moon will not give its light.(FP)
11 I will punish(FQ) the world for its evil,
the wicked(FR) for their sins.
I will put an end to the arrogance of the haughty(FS)
and will humble(FT) the pride of the ruthless.(FU)
12 I will make people(FV) scarcer than pure gold,
more rare than the gold of Ophir.(FW)
13 Therefore I will make the heavens tremble;(FX)
and the earth will shake(FY) from its place
at the wrath(FZ) of the Lord Almighty,
in the day of his burning anger.(GA)
14 Like a hunted(GB) gazelle,
like sheep without a shepherd,(GC)
they will all return to their own people,
they will flee(GD) to their native land.(GE)
15 Whoever is captured will be thrust through;
all who are caught will fall(GF) by the sword.(GG)
16 Their infants(GH) will be dashed to pieces before their eyes;
their houses will be looted and their wives violated.(GI)
17 See, I will stir up(GJ) against them the Medes,(GK)
who do not care for silver
and have no delight in gold.(GL)
18 Their bows(GM) will strike down the young men;(GN)
they will have no mercy(GO) on infants,
nor will they look with compassion on children.(GP)
19 Babylon,(GQ) the jewel of kingdoms,(GR)
the pride and glory(GS) of the Babylonians,[i]
will be overthrown(GT) by God
like Sodom and Gomorrah.(GU)
20 She will never be inhabited(GV)
or lived in through all generations;
there no nomads(GW) will pitch their tents,
there no shepherds will rest their flocks.
21 But desert creatures(GX) will lie there,
jackals(GY) will fill her houses;
there the owls(GZ) will dwell,
and there the wild goats(HA) will leap about.
22 Hyenas(HB) will inhabit her strongholds,(HC)
jackals(HD) her luxurious palaces.
Her time is at hand,(HE)
and her days will not be prolonged.(HF)

King James Version
Isaiah 10:20-13:22
King James Version
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.
22 For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness.
23 For the Lord God of hosts shall make a consumption, even determined, in the midst of all the land.
24 Therefore thus saith the Lord God of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.
25 For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and mine anger in their destruction.
26 And the Lord of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and as his rod was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt.
27 And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.
28 He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at Michmash he hath laid up his carriages:
29 They are gone over the passage: they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah is afraid; Gibeah of Saul is fled.
30 Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to be heard unto Laish, O poor Anathoth.
31 Madmenah is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee.
32 As yet shall he remain at Nob that day: he shall shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
33 Behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, shall lop the bough with terror: and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled.
34 And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.
11 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
2 And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord;
3 And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:
4 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth: with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
5 And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.
7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den.
9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.
10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.
11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
13 The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim.
14 But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west; they shall spoil them of the east together: they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon shall obey them.
15 And the Lord shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, and shall smite it in the seven streams, and make men go over dryshod.
16 And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.
12 And in that day thou shalt say, O Lord, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me.
2 Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.
3 Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.
4 And in that day shall ye say, Praise the Lord, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted.
5 Sing unto the Lord; for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth.
6 Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.
13 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.
2 Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice unto them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.
3 I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for mine anger, even them that rejoice in my highness.
4 The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the Lord of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.
5 They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the Lord, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.
6 Howl ye; for the day of the Lord is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt:
8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.
9 Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.
13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the Lord of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
14 And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one into his own land.
15 Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword.
16 Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.
17 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.
18 Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eyes shall not spare children.
19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
20 It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.
21 But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there.
22 And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.

Titus Sent to Receive the Collection
16 Thanks be to God,(A) who put into the heart(B) of Titus(C) the same concern I have for you. 17 For Titus not only welcomed our appeal, but he is coming to you with much enthusiasm and on his own initiative.(D) 18 And we are sending along with him the brother(E) who is praised by all the churches(F) for his service to the gospel.(G) 19 What is more, he was chosen by the churches to accompany us(H) as we carry the offering, which we administer in order to honor the Lord himself and to show our eagerness to help.(I) 20 We want to avoid any criticism of the way we administer this liberal gift. 21 For we are taking pains to do what is right, not only in the eyes of the Lord but also in the eyes of man.(J)
22 In addition, we are sending with them our brother who has often proved to us in many ways that he is zealous, and now even more so because of his great confidence in you. 23 As for Titus,(K) he is my partner(L) and co-worker(M) among you; as for our brothers,(N) they are representatives of the churches and an honor to Christ. 24 Therefore show these men the proof of your love and the reason for our pride in you,(O) so that the churches can see it.
9 There is no need(P) for me to write to you about this service(Q) to the Lord’s people.(R) 2 For I know your eagerness to help,(S) and I have been boasting(T) about it to the Macedonians, telling them that since last year(U) you in Achaia(V) were ready to give; and your enthusiasm has stirred most of them to action. 3 But I am sending the brothers(W) in order that our boasting about you in this matter should not prove hollow, but that you may be ready, as I said you would be.(X) 4 For if any Macedonians(Y) come with me and find you unprepared, we—not to say anything about you—would be ashamed of having been so confident. 5 So I thought it necessary to urge the brothers(Z) to visit you in advance and finish the arrangements for the generous gift you had promised. Then it will be ready as a generous gift,(AA) not as one grudgingly given.(AB)
2 Corinthians 8:16-9:5
King James Version
2 Corinthians 8:16-9:5
King James Version
16 But thanks be to God, which put the same earnest care into the heart of Titus for you.
17 For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more forward, of his own accord he went unto you.
18 And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise is in the gospel throughout all the churches;
19 And not that only, but who was also chosen of the churches to travel with us with this grace, which is administered by us to the glory of the same Lord, and declaration of your ready mind:
20 Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us:
21 Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.
22 And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have oftentimes proved diligent in many things, but now much more diligent, upon the great confidence which I have in you.
23 Whether any do enquire of Titus, he is my partner and fellowhelper concerning you: or our brethren be enquired of, they are the messengers of the churches, and the glory of Christ.
24 Wherefore shew ye to them, and before the churches, the proof of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf.
9 For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you:
2 For I know the forwardness of your mind, for which I boast of you to them of Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal hath provoked very many.
3 Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should be in vain in this behalf; that, as I said, ye may be ready:
4 Lest haply if they of Macedonia come with me, and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be ashamed in this same confident boasting.
5 Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your bounty, whereof ye had notice before, that the same might be ready, as a matter of bounty, and not as of covetousness.

Psalm 105:37-45
New International Version
37 He brought out Israel, laden with silver and gold,(A)
and from among their tribes no one faltered.
38 Egypt was glad when they left,
because dread of Israel(B) had fallen on them.
39 He spread out a cloud(C) as a covering,
and a fire to give light at night.(D)
40 They asked,(E) and he brought them quail;(F)
he fed them well with the bread of heaven.(G)
41 He opened the rock,(H) and water gushed out;
it flowed like a river in the desert.
42 For he remembered his holy promise(I)
given to his servant Abraham.
43 He brought out his people with rejoicing,(J)
his chosen ones with shouts of joy;
44 he gave them the lands of the nations,(K)
and they fell heir to what others had toiled(L) for—
45 that they might keep his precepts
and observe his laws.(M)

41 He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.

43 And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness:
44 And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people;
