Hello, and welcome back
to "His Words are Life."
00:00:15.21\00:00:17.67
I'm Kelly Mowrer,
00:00:17.68\00:00:18.65
and thank you for
being with me today
00:00:18.66\00:00:20.45
to read the Bible together.
00:00:20.46\00:00:21.96
Let's pray before we start.
00:00:21.97\00:00:24.43
Dear Heavenly Father,
thank you for this time
00:00:24.44\00:00:28.01
to spend
particularly in your presence
00:00:28.02\00:00:31.08
hearing Your words to us.
00:00:31.09\00:00:33.15
Please send the Holy
Spirit to give us understanding.
00:00:33.16\00:00:36.52
We love you so much and
thank you for loving us, amen.
00:00:36.53\00:00:41.32
We're reading in
Isaiah Chapter 28,
00:00:41.33\00:00:43.90
beginning with verse 27
00:00:43.91\00:00:45.48
and this is the
King James Version.
00:00:45.49\00:00:50.21
with a threshing instrument,
neither is a cart wheel
00:00:50.22\00:00:52.53
turned about upon the cummin,
00:00:52.54\00:00:54.98
but the fitches are
beaten out with a staff,
00:00:54.99\00:00:58.27
and the cummin with a rod.
00:00:58.28\00:01:00.62
Bread corn is bruised,
because he will not ever
00:01:00.63\00:01:03.62
be threshing it, nor break
it with the wheel of his cart,
00:01:03.63\00:01:06.24
nor bruise it with his horsemen.
00:01:06.25\00:01:08.11
This also cometh forth
from the Lord of hosts,
00:01:08.12\00:01:10.30
which is wonderful in counsel,
and excellent in working.
00:01:10.31\00:01:15.29
Continuing with
Isaiah Chapter 29,
00:01:15.30\00:01:17.93
this is the King James Version.
00:01:17.94\00:01:20.49
Woe to Ariel, to Ariel,
the city where David dwelt!
00:01:20.50\00:01:24.99
add ye year to year,
let them kill sacrifices.
00:01:25.00\00:01:29.21
Yet I will distress
Ariel, and there shall be
00:01:29.22\00:01:31.45
heaviness and sorrow, and
it shall be unto me as Ariel.
00:01:31.46\00:01:35.70
And I will camp
against thee round about,
00:01:35.71\00:01:37.88
and will lay siege
against thee with a mount,
00:01:37.89\00:01:40.12
and I will raise
forts against thee.
00:01:40.13\00:01:42.80
And thou shalt be brought down,
00:01:42.81\00:01:44.56
and shalt speak
out of the ground,
00:01:44.57\00:01:46.63
and thy speech shall
be low out of the dust,
00:01:46.64\00:01:49.35
and thy voice shall
be, as of one that hath
00:01:49.36\00:01:52.21
a familiar
spirit, out of the ground,
00:01:52.22\00:01:54.95
and thy speech shall
whisper out of the dust.
00:01:54.96\00:01:57.44
Moreover the
multitude of thy strangers
00:01:57.45\00:02:00.14
shall be like small dust,
00:02:00.15\00:02:01.60
and the multitude
of the terrible ones
00:02:01.61\00:02:03.23
shall be as chaff
that passeth away,
00:02:03.24\00:02:06.22
yea, it shall be at
an instant suddenly.
00:02:06.23\00:02:10.50
Thou shalt be visited
00:02:10.51\00:02:11.63
of the Lord of
hosts with thunder,
00:02:11.64\00:02:13.75
and with
earthquake, and great noise,
00:02:13.76\00:02:16.55
with storm and tempest,
00:02:16.56\00:02:17.74
and the flame of devouring fire.
00:02:17.75\00:02:19.85
And the multitude
of all the nations
00:02:19.86\00:02:21.58
that fight against
Ariel, even all that fight
00:02:21.59\00:02:24.44
against her and her
munition, and that distress her,
00:02:24.45\00:02:28.10
shall be as a
dream of a night vision.
00:02:28.11\00:02:31.28
It shall even be as
when an hungry man dreameth,
00:02:31.29\00:02:33.61
and, behold, he
eateth, but he awaketh,
00:02:33.62\00:02:36.23
and his soul is empty, or
as when a thirsty man dreameth,
00:02:36.24\00:02:39.89
and, behold, he
drinketh, but he awaketh,
00:02:39.90\00:02:41.52
and, behold, he is faint,
and his soul hath appetite,
00:02:41.53\00:02:45.81
so shall the
multitude of all the nations be,
00:02:45.82\00:02:48.75
that fight against mount Zion.
00:02:48.76\00:02:51.79
Stay yourselves,
and wonder, cry ye out,
00:02:51.80\00:02:54.96
and cry, they are
drunken, but not with wine,
00:02:54.97\00:02:58.86
they stagger, but
not with strong drink.
00:02:58.87\00:03:02.62
For the Lord hath
poured out upon you
00:03:02.63\00:03:04.90
the spirit of deep sleep,
and hath closed your eyes,
00:03:04.91\00:03:08.93
the prophets and your rulers,
the seers hath he covered.
00:03:08.94\00:03:13.25
And the vision of
all is become unto you
00:03:13.26\00:03:15.37
as the words of a
book that is sealed,
00:03:15.38\00:03:17.20
which men deliver to
one that is learned, saying,
00:03:17.21\00:03:19.44
Read this, I pray
thee, and he saith,
00:03:19.45\00:03:22.54
I cannot, for it is sealed,
00:03:22.55\00:03:25.45
And the book is delivered to him
00:03:25.46\00:03:26.74
that is not learned,
saying, Read this, I pray thee,
00:03:26.75\00:03:29.45
and he saith, I am not learned.
00:03:29.46\00:03:32.60
Wherefore the Lord said,
Forasmuch as this people draw
00:03:32.61\00:03:35.79
near me with their mouth,
00:03:35.80\00:03:37.64
and with their
lips do honour me,
00:03:37.65\00:03:39.98
but have removed
their heart far from me,
00:03:39.99\00:03:43.38
and their fear toward me
00:03:43.39\00:03:44.76
is taught by the precept of men,
00:03:44.77\00:03:46.49
Therefore, behold,
I will proceed to do
00:03:46.50\00:03:49.29
a marvellous work
among this people,
00:03:49.30\00:03:51.33
even a marvellous
work and a wonder,
00:03:51.34\00:03:53.08
for the wisdom of their wise men
00:03:53.09\00:03:54.39
shall perish,
and the understanding
00:03:54.40\00:03:55.88
of their prudent
men shall be hid.
00:03:55.89\00:03:58.57
Woe unto them
that seek deep to hide
00:03:58.58\00:04:01.34
their counsel from the Lord,
00:04:01.35\00:04:02.98
and their works are in the dark,
00:04:02.99\00:04:04.06
and they say, Who
seeth us? and who knoweth us?
00:04:04.07\00:04:08.75
Surely your turning
of things upside down
00:04:08.76\00:04:10.81
shall be esteemed
as the potter's clay,
00:04:10.82\00:04:13.72
for shall the work
say of him that made it,
00:04:13.73\00:04:16.51
He made me not? or
shall the thing framed
00:04:16.52\00:04:20.51
say of him that framed
it, He had no understanding?
00:04:20.52\00:04:25.77
Is it not yet a
very little while,
00:04:25.78\00:04:28.62
and Lebanon shall be
turned into a fruitful field,
00:04:28.63\00:04:31.97
and the fruitful field
shall be esteemed as a forest?
00:04:31.98\00:04:35.95
And in that day shall the
deaf hear the words of the book,
00:04:35.96\00:04:39.26
and the eyes of the blind
shall see out of obscurity,
00:04:39.27\00:04:42.08
and out of darkness.
00:04:42.09\00:04:43.23
The meek also shall
increase their joy in the Lord,
00:04:43.24\00:04:47.43
and the poor
among men shall rejoice
00:04:47.44\00:04:49.49
in the Holy One of Israel.
00:04:49.50\00:04:51.27
For the terrible one
is brought to nought,
00:04:51.28\00:04:53.27
and the scorner is consumed,
00:04:53.28\00:04:55.62
and all that watch
for iniquity are cut off,
00:04:55.63\00:04:59.46
That make a man an
offender for a word,
00:04:59.47\00:05:01.79
and lay a snare for him
that reproveth in the gate,
00:05:01.80\00:05:04.35
and turn aside the
just for a thing of nought.
00:05:04.36\00:05:08.46
Therefore thus saith the
Lord, who redeemed Abraham,
00:05:08.47\00:05:12.15
concerning the house of Jacob,
00:05:12.16\00:05:14.79
Jacob shall not now be ashamed,
00:05:14.80\00:05:17.55
neither shall his
face now wax pale.
00:05:17.56\00:05:22.86
But when he seeth his children,
00:05:22.87\00:05:24.32
the work of mine hands,
00:05:24.33\00:05:25.47
in the midst of him,
they shall sanctify my name,
00:05:25.48\00:05:28.43
and sanctify the
Holy One of Jacob,
00:05:28.44\00:05:30.66
and shall fear
the God of Israel.
00:05:30.67\00:05:33.14
They also that erred in spirit
00:05:33.15\00:05:35.34
shall come to understanding,
00:05:35.35\00:05:37.66
and they that
murmured shall learn doctrine.
00:05:37.67\00:05:41.91
Continuing in the
book of Isaiah Chapter 30,
00:05:41.92\00:05:44.55
and this is the
King James Version.
00:05:44.56\00:05:46.89
Woe to the rebellious children,
00:05:46.90\00:05:49.06
says the Lord,
00:05:49.07\00:05:50.21
that take
counsel, but not of me,
00:05:50.22\00:05:52.88
and that cover with a covering,
00:05:52.89\00:05:55.25
but not of my spirit,
that they may add sin to sin,
00:05:55.26\00:06:00.10
That walk to go down into Egypt,
00:06:00.11\00:06:01.59
and have not asked at my mouth,
00:06:01.60\00:06:04.02
to strengthen themselves
in the strength of Pharaoh,
00:06:04.03\00:06:06.47
and to trust in
the shadow of Egypt!
00:06:06.48\00:06:08.62
Therefore shall the strength
of Pharaoh be your shame,
00:06:08.63\00:06:13.45
and the trust in the
shadow of Egypt your confusion.
00:06:13.46\00:06:18.29
For his princes were at Zoan,
00:06:18.30\00:06:20.36
and his
ambassadors came to Hanes.
00:06:20.37\00:06:22.96
They were all
ashamed of a people
00:06:22.97\00:06:24.87
that could not profit
them, nor be an help nor profit,
00:06:24.88\00:06:28.66
but a shame,
and also a reproach.
00:06:28.67\00:06:31.78
The burden of the
beasts of the south,
00:06:31.79\00:06:33.69
into the land of
trouble and anguish,
00:06:33.70\00:06:35.51
from whence come
the young and old lion,
00:06:35.52\00:06:37.73
the viper and
fiery flying serpent,
00:06:37.74\00:06:40.11
they will carry their riches
00:06:40.12\00:06:42.32
upon the
shoulders of young asses,
00:06:42.33\00:06:43.90
and their treasures
upon the bunches of camels,
00:06:43.91\00:06:46.82
to a people that
shall not profit them.
00:06:46.83\00:06:50.25
For the Egyptians shall
help in vain, and to no purpose,
00:06:50.26\00:06:54.44
therefore have I
cried concerning this,
00:06:54.45\00:06:57.27
Their strength is to sit still.
00:06:57.28\00:07:00.90
Now go, write it
before them in a table,
00:07:00.91\00:07:03.44
and note it in a book,
that it may be for the time
00:07:03.45\00:07:07.33
to come for ever and ever,
00:07:07.34\00:07:09.63
That this is a
rebellious people,
00:07:09.64\00:07:11.41
lying children,
children that will not hear
00:07:11.42\00:07:13.62
the law of the Lord,
Which say to the seers,
00:07:13.63\00:07:16.98
See not, and to the prophets,
00:07:16.99\00:07:19.37
Prophesy not
unto us right things,
00:07:19.38\00:07:21.74
speak unto us smooth
things, prophesy deceits,
00:07:21.75\00:07:26.15
Get you out of the way,
turn aside out of the path,
00:07:26.16\00:07:29.94
cause the Holy One of
Israel to cease from before us.
00:07:29.95\00:07:34.61
Wherefore thus saith
the Holy One of Israel,
00:07:34.62\00:07:36.59
Because ye despise this word,
00:07:36.60\00:07:39.20
and trust in
oppression and perverseness,
00:07:39.21\00:07:42.38
and stay thereon,
Therefore this iniquity
00:07:42.39\00:07:45.73
shall be to you as a
breach ready to fall,
00:07:45.74\00:07:49.63
swelling out in a high wall,
00:07:49.64\00:07:52.11
whose breaking cometh
suddenly at an instant.
00:07:52.12\00:07:55.83
And he shall
break it as the breaking
00:07:55.84\00:07:57.93
of the potters' vessel
that is broken in pieces,
00:07:57.94\00:08:00.39
he shall not spare,
00:08:00.40\00:08:02.44
so that there shall not be found
00:08:02.45\00:08:03.88
in the bursting of it a sherd
to take fire from the hearth,
00:08:03.89\00:08:07.65
or to take water
withal out of the pit.
00:08:07.66\00:08:11.35
For thus saith the Lord
God, the Holy One of Israel,
00:08:11.36\00:08:15.29
In returning and
rest shall ye be saved,
00:08:15.30\00:08:19.77
in quietness and in confidence
shall be your strength,
00:08:19.78\00:08:24.83
and ye would not.
00:08:24.84\00:08:26.94
But ye said, No, for
we will flee upon horses,
00:08:26.95\00:08:30.25
therefore shall ye flee, and,
We will ride upon the swift,
00:08:30.26\00:08:34.70
therefore shall they
that pursue you be swift.
00:08:34.71\00:08:39.17
One thousand shall
flee at the rebuke of one,
00:08:39.18\00:08:41.87
at the rebuke of
five shall ye flee,
00:08:41.88\00:08:44.01
till ye be left as a beacon
upon the top of a mountain,
00:08:44.02\00:08:47.50
and as an ensign on an hill.
00:08:47.51\00:08:50.28
And therefore
will the Lord wait,
00:08:50.29\00:08:52.20
that he may be
gracious unto you,
00:08:52.21\00:08:54.12
and therefore
will he be exalted,
00:08:54.13\00:08:56.23
that he may have mercy upon you,
00:08:56.24\00:08:58.48
for the Lord is
a God of judgment,
00:08:58.49\00:09:00.94
blessed are all
they that wait for him.
00:09:00.95\00:09:05.40
For the people shall
dwell in Zion at Jerusalem,
00:09:05.41\00:09:07.65
thou shalt weep no
more, he will be very gracious
00:09:07.66\00:09:11.16
unto thee at the
voice of thy cry,
00:09:11.17\00:09:14.10
when he shall hear
it, he will answer thee.
00:09:14.11\00:09:17.89
And though the Lord give
you the bread of adversity,
00:09:17.90\00:09:21.30
and the water of affliction,
yet shall not thy teachers be
00:09:21.31\00:09:25.99
removed into a corner any more,
00:09:26.00\00:09:28.39
but thine eyes
shall see thy teachers,
00:09:28.40\00:09:31.67
And thine ears shall
hear a word behind thee,
00:09:31.68\00:09:34.70
saying, This is
the way, walk ye in it,
00:09:34.71\00:09:38.34
when ye turn to the right hand,
00:09:38.35\00:09:40.16
and when ye turn to the left.
00:09:40.17\00:09:42.61
Ye shall defile
also the covering of
00:09:42.62\00:09:45.06
thy graven images of silver,
00:09:45.07\00:09:46.71
and the ornament of
thy molten images of gold,
00:09:46.72\00:09:49.38
thou shalt cast them
away as a menstruous cloth,
00:09:49.39\00:09:53.22
thou shalt say
unto it, Get thee hence.
00:09:53.23\00:09:56.37
Then shall he give
the rain of thy seed,
00:09:56.38\00:09:59.07
that thou shalt
sow the ground withal,
00:09:59.08\00:10:02.09
and bread of the
increase of the earth,
00:10:02.10\00:10:04.79
and it shall be
fat and plenteous,
00:10:04.80\00:10:07.84
in that day shall thy
cattle feed in large pastures.
00:10:07.85\00:10:12.12
The oxen likewise
and the young asses
00:10:12.13\00:10:15.09
that ear the ground
shall eat clean provender,
00:10:15.10\00:10:18.88
which hath been winnowed with
the shovel and with the fan.
00:10:18.89\00:10:22.29
And there shall be
upon every high mountain,
00:10:22.30\00:10:24.62
and upon every high hill,
rivers and streams of waters
00:10:24.63\00:10:28.56
in the day of
the great slaughter,
00:10:28.57\00:10:29.96
when the towers fall.
00:10:29.97\00:10:32.29
Moreover the light of the moon
00:10:32.30\00:10:33.47
shall be as the
light of the sun,
00:10:33.48\00:10:35.28
and the light of the
sun shall be sevenfold,
00:10:35.29\00:10:37.40
as the light of seven
days, in the day that the Lord
00:10:37.41\00:10:40.51
bindeth up the
breach of his people,
00:10:40.52\00:10:43.06
and healeth the
stroke of their wound.
00:10:43.07\00:10:46.69
Behold, the name of
the Lord cometh from far,
00:10:46.70\00:10:49.64
burning with his anger,
00:10:49.65\00:10:51.48
and the burden thereof is heavy,
00:10:51.49\00:10:53.79
his lips are
full of indignation,
00:10:53.80\00:10:55.72
and his tongue
as a devouring fire,
00:10:55.73\00:10:59.19
And his breath, as
an overflowing stream,
00:10:59.20\00:11:02.19
shall reach to
the midst of the neck,
00:11:02.20\00:11:03.99
to sift the nations
with the sieve of vanity,
00:11:04.00\00:11:07.82
and there shall be a bridle
in the jaws of the people,
00:11:07.83\00:11:11.05
causing them to err.
00:11:11.06\00:11:13.39
Ye shall have a
song, as in the night
00:11:13.40\00:11:15.26
when a holy solemnity is kept,
00:11:15.27\00:11:17.46
and gladness of
heart, as when one goeth
00:11:17.47\00:11:19.48
with a pipe to come into
the mountain of the Lord,
00:11:19.49\00:11:22.14
to the mighty One of Israel.
00:11:22.15\00:11:24.22
And the Lord shall cause
00:11:24.23\00:11:25.62
his glorious voice to be heard,
00:11:25.63\00:11:27.81
and shall shew the
lighting down of his arm,
00:11:27.82\00:11:31.03
with the
indignation of his anger,
00:11:31.04\00:11:32.46
and with the flame
of a devouring fire,
00:11:32.47\00:11:34.57
with scattering, and
tempest, and hailstones.
00:11:34.58\00:11:38.40
For through the
voice of the Lord
00:11:38.41\00:11:40.11
shall the
Assyrian be beaten down,
00:11:40.12\00:11:42.04
which smote with a rod.
00:11:42.05\00:11:44.46
And in every place
00:11:44.47\00:11:45.62
where the
grounded staff shall pass,
00:11:45.63\00:11:48.01
which the Lord
shall lay upon him,
00:11:48.02\00:11:50.39
it shall be with
tabrets and harps,
00:11:50.40\00:11:52.85
and in battles of
shaking will he fight with it.
00:11:52.86\00:11:57.25
For Tophet is ordained of old,
00:11:57.26\00:11:59.31
yea, for the
king it is prepared,
00:11:59.32\00:12:02.30
he hath made it deep and large,
00:12:02.31\00:12:04.83
the pile thereof
is fire and much wood,
00:12:04.84\00:12:07.73
the breath of the Lord,
like a stream of brimstone,
00:12:07.74\00:12:11.71
doth kindle it."
00:12:11.72\00:12:14.11
Continuing to read
in the book of Isaiah
00:12:14.12\00:12:15.93
Chapter 31, and this
is the King James Version.
00:12:15.94\00:12:19.89
"Woe to them that go
down to Egypt for help,
00:12:19.90\00:12:23.12
and stay on horses,
and trust in chariots,
00:12:23.13\00:12:27.43
because they are
many, and in horsemen,
00:12:27.44\00:12:29.80
because they are very strong,
00:12:29.81\00:12:31.83
but they look not unto
the Holy One of Israel,
00:12:31.84\00:12:34.86
neither seek the Lord!
00:12:34.87\00:12:37.30
Yet he also is
wise, and will bring evil,
00:12:37.31\00:12:39.54
and will not
call back his words,
00:12:39.55\00:12:40.91
but will arise against
the house of the evildoers,
00:12:40.92\00:12:43.42
and against the help of
them that work iniquity.
00:12:43.43\00:12:47.78
Now the Egyptians
are men, and not God,
00:12:47.79\00:12:50.81
and their horses
flesh, and not spirit.
00:12:50.82\00:12:54.27
When the Lord shall
stretch out his hand,
00:12:54.28\00:12:56.17
both he that helpeth shall fall,
00:12:56.18\00:12:58.86
and he that is
holpen shall fall down,
00:12:58.87\00:13:01.27
and they all
shall fail together.
00:13:01.28\00:13:04.43
For thus hath the
Lord spoken unto me,
00:13:04.44\00:13:06.37
Like as the lion
and the young lion
00:13:06.38\00:13:08.44
roaring on his prey,
when a multitude of shepherds
00:13:08.45\00:13:11.75
is called forth against him,
00:13:11.76\00:13:13.83
he will not be
afraid of their voice,
00:13:13.84\00:13:15.68
nor abase himself
for the noise of them,
00:13:15.69\00:13:18.30
so shall the Lord of
hosts come down to fight
00:13:18.31\00:13:21.08
for mount Zion, and
for the hill thereof.
00:13:21.09\00:13:24.82
As birds flying, so
will the Lord of hosts
00:13:24.83\00:13:27.76
defend Jerusalem,
00:13:27.77\00:13:29.60
defending also
he will deliver it,
00:13:29.61\00:13:32.50
and passing over
he will preserve it.
00:13:32.51\00:13:36.28
Turn ye unto him
00:13:36.29\00:13:38.11
from whom the children of
Israel have deeply revolted.
00:13:38.12\00:13:41.05
For in that day
every man shall cast away
00:13:41.06\00:13:43.58
his idols of silver,
and his idols of gold,
00:13:43.59\00:13:45.94
which your own hands
have made unto you for a sin.
00:13:45.95\00:13:49.42
Then shall the
Assyrian fall with the sword,
00:13:49.43\00:13:52.61
not of a mighty
man, and the sword,
00:13:52.62\00:13:55.10
not of a mean
man, shall devour him,
00:13:55.11\00:13:56.95
but he shall
flee from the sword,
00:13:56.96\00:13:59.06
and his young men
shall be discomfited.
00:13:59.07\00:14:02.35
And he shall pass over
to his strong hold for fear,
00:14:02.36\00:14:05.46
and his princes shall
be afraid of the ensign,
00:14:05.47\00:14:07.66
saith the Lord,
whose fire is in Zion,
00:14:07.67\00:14:10.63
and his furnace in Jerusalem."
00:14:10.64\00:14:12.85
Continuing with
Isaiah Chapter 32.
00:14:12.86\00:14:16.77
"Behold, a king shall
reign in righteousness,
00:14:16.78\00:14:20.72
and princes
shall rule in judgment.
00:14:20.73\00:14:23.73
And a man shall
be as an hiding place
00:14:23.74\00:14:26.26
from the wind, and a
covert from the tempest,
00:14:26.27\00:14:29.22
as rivers of
water in a dry place,
00:14:29.23\00:14:32.27
as the shadow of a
great rock in a weary land".
00:14:32.28\00:14:36.85
