Hello, and welcome
to "His Words Are Life."
00:00:15.50\00:00:18.19
I'm Kelly Mowrer,
00:00:18.20\00:00:19.17
and thank you for
joining with me today
00:00:19.18\00:00:21.15
to read the Bible together.
00:00:21.16\00:00:22.78
Let's pray before we start.
00:00:22.79\00:00:25.04
Dear Heavenly Father,
00:00:25.05\00:00:26.16
thank you for this opportunity
00:00:26.17\00:00:27.74
to read the words of Isaiah,
00:00:27.75\00:00:30.56
as he talks about
You as our Savior.
00:00:30.57\00:00:33.92
Please show us today
00:00:33.93\00:00:36.17
in everything that
each one of us are facing,
00:00:36.18\00:00:39.56
how You are our
source and our supply,
00:00:39.57\00:00:42.94
our redeemer and our rock.
00:00:42.95\00:00:45.60
We love you so much
00:00:45.61\00:00:46.58
and thank you
for loving us, amen.
00:00:46.59\00:00:50.09
We are reading in the
book of Isaiah Chapter 32,
00:00:50.10\00:00:53.59
picking up in verse 3.
00:00:53.60\00:00:56.09
Isaiah is writing about
00:00:56.10\00:00:57.89
"when the king shall
reign in righteousness."
00:00:57.90\00:01:01.77
And the eyes of them
that see shall not be dim,
00:01:01.78\00:01:06.01
and the ears of them
that hear shall hearken.
00:01:06.02\00:01:09.60
The heart also of the rash
shall understand knowledge,
00:01:09.61\00:01:12.92
and the tongue of the stammerers
00:01:12.93\00:01:14.64
shall be ready to speak plainly.
00:01:14.65\00:01:17.50
The vile person shall
be no more called liberal,
00:01:17.51\00:01:20.85
nor the churl
said to be bountiful.
00:01:20.86\00:01:23.45
For the vile
person will speak villany,
00:01:23.46\00:01:25.34
and his heart
will work iniquity,
00:01:25.35\00:01:26.68
to practise hypocrisy,
00:01:26.69\00:01:28.38
and to utter
error against the Lord,
00:01:28.39\00:01:30.98
to make empty the
soul of the hungry,
00:01:30.99\00:01:33.60
and he will cause the
drink of the thirsty to fail.
00:01:33.61\00:01:37.30
The instruments also
of the churl are evil,
00:01:37.31\00:01:40.38
he deviseth wicked
devices to destroy the poor
00:01:40.39\00:01:44.17
with lying words,
00:01:44.18\00:01:45.81
even when the
needy speaketh right.
00:01:45.82\00:01:48.86
But the liberal
deviseth liberal things,
00:01:48.87\00:01:51.22
and by liberal
things shall he stand.
00:01:51.23\00:01:54.15
Rise up, ye
women that are at ease,
00:01:54.16\00:01:57.05
hear my voice, ye
careless daughters,
00:01:57.06\00:01:59.32
give ear unto my speech.
00:01:59.33\00:02:01.66
Many days and years
shall ye be troubled,
00:02:01.67\00:02:04.61
ye careless women, for
the vintage shall fail,
00:02:04.62\00:02:08.38
the gathering shall not come.
00:02:08.39\00:02:11.02
Tremble, ye
women that are at ease,
00:02:11.03\00:02:14.01
be troubled, ye careless ones,
00:02:14.02\00:02:16.09
strip you, and make you bare,
00:02:16.10\00:02:17.55
and gird
sackcloth upon your loins.
00:02:17.56\00:02:20.36
They shall lament for the teats,
00:02:20.37\00:02:22.62
for the pleasant
fields, for the fruitful vine.
00:02:22.63\00:02:25.97
Upon the land of my people
00:02:25.98\00:02:27.55
shall come up thorns and briers,
00:02:27.56\00:02:29.90
yea, upon all the houses of joy
00:02:29.91\00:02:32.10
in the joyous city,
00:02:32.11\00:02:33.84
Because the
palaces shall be forsaken,
00:02:33.85\00:02:36.39
the multitude of
the city shall be left,
00:02:36.40\00:02:39.19
the forts and towers
shall be for dens for ever,
00:02:39.20\00:02:43.20
a joy of wild
asses, a pasture of flocks,
00:02:43.21\00:02:47.40
Until the spirit be
poured upon us from on high,
00:02:47.41\00:02:51.21
and the wilderness
be a fruitful field,
00:02:51.22\00:02:53.55
and the fruitful field
be counted for a forest.
00:02:53.56\00:02:57.39
Then judgment shall
dwell in the wilderness,
00:02:57.40\00:02:59.57
and righteousness
remain in the fruitful field.
00:02:59.58\00:03:03.17
And the work of
righteousness shall be peace,
00:03:03.18\00:03:06.58
and the effect of righteousness
00:03:06.59\00:03:08.48
quietness and
assurance for ever.
00:03:08.49\00:03:12.51
And my people shall dwell
in a peaceable habitation,
00:03:12.52\00:03:16.50
and in sure dwellings,
and in quiet resting places,
00:03:16.51\00:03:21.31
When it shall hail,
coming down on the forest,
00:03:21.32\00:03:24.06
and the city shall
be low in a low place.
00:03:24.07\00:03:27.32
Blessed are ye that
sow beside all waters,
00:03:27.33\00:03:31.13
that send forth thither
00:03:31.14\00:03:32.89
the feet of the ox and the ass."
00:03:32.90\00:03:36.05
Continuing to read in Isaiah,
00:03:36.06\00:03:38.13
this is Chapter 33 in
the King James Version.
00:03:38.14\00:03:43.12
"Woe to thee that spoilest,
and thou wast not spoiled,
00:03:43.13\00:03:48.36
and dealest treacherously,
00:03:48.37\00:03:49.59
and they dealt not
treacherously with thee!
00:03:49.60\00:03:52.48
when thou shalt cease to spoil,
00:03:52.49\00:03:54.19
thou shalt be spoiled,
00:03:54.20\00:03:56.09
and when thou shalt make
an end to deal treacherously,
00:03:56.10\00:03:59.40
they shall deal
treacherously with thee.
00:03:59.41\00:04:02.64
O Lord, be gracious unto
us, we have waited for thee,
00:04:02.65\00:04:08.64
be thou their arm every morning,
00:04:08.65\00:04:11.38
our salvation also
in the time of trouble.
00:04:11.39\00:04:14.67
At the noise of the
tumult the people fled,
00:04:14.68\00:04:17.24
at the lifting up of thyself
the nations were scattered.
00:04:17.25\00:04:21.01
And your spoil shall be gathered
00:04:21.02\00:04:22.49
like the gathering
of the caterpiller,
00:04:22.50\00:04:24.94
as the running to
and fro of locusts
00:04:24.95\00:04:27.48
shall he run upon them.
00:04:27.49\00:04:29.57
The Lord is exalted,
for he dwelleth on high,
00:04:29.58\00:04:33.36
he hath filled Zion
00:04:33.37\00:04:34.55
with judgment and righteousness.
00:04:34.56\00:04:37.65
And wisdom and knowledge
00:04:37.66\00:04:39.20
shall be the
stability of thy times,
00:04:39.21\00:04:41.97
and strength of salvation,
00:04:41.98\00:04:44.67
the fear of the
Lord is his treasure.
00:04:44.68\00:04:48.66
Behold, their valiant
ones shall cry without,
00:04:48.67\00:04:51.87
the ambassadors of
peace shall weep bitterly.
00:04:51.88\00:04:55.05
The highways lie waste,
the wayfaring man ceaseth,
00:04:55.06\00:04:59.50
he hath broken the covenant,
he hath despised the cities,
00:04:59.51\00:05:03.76
he regardeth no man.
00:05:03.77\00:05:06.35
The earth
mourneth and languisheth,
00:05:06.36\00:05:09.21
Lebanon is
ashamed and hewn down,
00:05:09.22\00:05:12.50
Sharon is like a wilderness,
00:05:12.51\00:05:14.46
and Bashan and Carmel
shake off their fruits.
00:05:14.47\00:05:18.32
Now will I rise, saith the Lord,
00:05:18.33\00:05:21.13
now will I be exalted,
now will I lift up myself.
00:05:21.14\00:05:27.43
Ye shall conceive chaff,
ye shall bring forth stubble,
00:05:27.44\00:05:31.35
your breath, as
fire, shall devour you.
00:05:31.36\00:05:34.17
And the people shall be
as the burnings of lime,
00:05:34.18\00:05:37.49
as thorns cut up
00:05:37.50\00:05:39.31
shall they be
burned in the fire.
00:05:39.32\00:05:42.10
Hear, ye that are far
off, what I have done,
00:05:42.11\00:05:46.42
and, ye that are
near, acknowledge my might.
00:05:46.43\00:05:50.22
The sinners in Zion are afraid,
00:05:50.23\00:05:52.72
fearfulness hath
surprised the hypocrites.
00:05:52.73\00:05:56.28
Who among us shall
dwell with the devouring fire?
00:05:56.29\00:06:00.53
Who among us shall dwell
with everlasting burnings?
00:06:00.54\00:06:04.20
He that walketh righteously,
and speaketh uprightly,
00:06:04.21\00:06:07.59
he that despiseth
the gain of oppressions,
00:06:07.60\00:06:11.19
that shaketh his hands
from holding of bribes,
00:06:11.20\00:06:14.42
that stoppeth his
ears from hearing of blood,
00:06:14.43\00:06:18.57
and shutteth his
eyes from seeing evil,
00:06:18.58\00:06:22.54
He shall dwell on high,
00:06:22.55\00:06:24.95
his place of defence
shall be the munitions of rocks,
00:06:24.96\00:06:28.94
bread shall be given
him, his waters shall be sure.
00:06:28.95\00:06:33.58
Thine eyes shall see
the king in his beauty,
00:06:33.59\00:06:36.44
they shall behold the
land that is very far off.
00:06:36.45\00:06:39.44
Thine heart
shall meditate terror.
00:06:39.45\00:06:41.11
Where is the scribe?
00:06:41.12\00:06:42.09
Where is the receiver?
00:06:42.10\00:06:43.43
Where is he that
counted the towers?
00:06:43.44\00:06:46.45
Thou shalt not
see a fierce people,
00:06:46.46\00:06:49.01
a people of a deeper
speech than thou canst perceive,
00:06:49.02\00:06:52.59
of a stammering tongue,
00:06:52.60\00:06:53.59
that thou canst not understand.
00:06:53.60\00:06:56.16
Look upon Zion, the
city of our solemnities,
00:06:56.17\00:07:00.26
thine eyes shall see Jerusalem
00:07:00.27\00:07:02.10
a quiet habitation,
00:07:02.11\00:07:04.36
a tabernacle that
shall not be taken down,
00:07:04.37\00:07:07.87
not one of the stakes
thereof shall ever be removed,
00:07:07.88\00:07:11.01
neither shall any of the cords
00:07:11.02\00:07:12.41
thereof be broken.
00:07:12.42\00:07:14.36
But there the
glorious Lord will be unto us
00:07:14.37\00:07:18.84
a place of broad
rivers and streams,
00:07:18.85\00:07:22.45
wherein shall go
no galley with oars,
00:07:22.46\00:07:24.72
neither shall
gallant ship pass thereby.
00:07:24.73\00:07:27.77
For the Lord is our
judge, the Lord is our lawgiver,
00:07:27.78\00:07:32.45
the Lord is our
king, he will save us.
00:07:32.46\00:07:36.64
Thy tacklings are loosed,
00:07:36.65\00:07:38.64
they could not well
strengthen their mast,
00:07:38.65\00:07:41.14
they could not spread the sail,
00:07:41.15\00:07:43.54
then is the prey of
a great spoil divided,
00:07:43.55\00:07:46.25
the lame take the prey.
00:07:46.26\00:07:48.27
And the inhabitant
shall not say, I am sick,
00:07:48.28\00:07:51.23
the people that dwell therein
00:07:51.24\00:07:54.05
shall be
forgiven their iniquity."
00:07:54.06\00:07:57.45
Continuing in the book of Isaiah
00:07:57.46\00:07:59.03
Chapter 34 and this is
the King James Version.
00:07:59.04\00:08:03.03
"Come near, ye
nations, to hear, and hearken,
00:08:03.04\00:08:05.88
ye people, let the earth hear,
00:08:05.89\00:08:08.60
and all that is therein,
00:08:08.61\00:08:10.63
the world, and all
things that come forth of it.
00:08:10.64\00:08:13.16
For the indignation of the Lord
00:08:13.17\00:08:14.58
is upon all nations,
00:08:14.59\00:08:15.90
and his fury
upon all their armies,
00:08:15.91\00:08:18.78
he hath utterly destroyed them,
00:08:18.79\00:08:20.58
he hath delivered
them to the slaughter.
00:08:20.59\00:08:23.33
Their slain also
shall be cast out,
00:08:23.34\00:08:25.73
and their stink shall
come up out of their carcases,
00:08:25.74\00:08:28.50
and the mountains shall
be melted with their blood.
00:08:28.51\00:08:32.12
And all the host of
heaven shall be dissolved,
00:08:32.13\00:08:34.95
and the heavens shall be
rolled together as a scroll,
00:08:34.96\00:08:39.19
and all their
host shall fall down,
00:08:39.20\00:08:41.20
as the leaf
falleth off from the vine,
00:08:41.21\00:08:44.26
and as a falling
fig from the fig tree.
00:08:44.27\00:08:48.03
For my sword shall
be bathed in heaven,
00:08:48.04\00:08:51.16
behold, it shall
come down upon Idumea,
00:08:51.17\00:08:54.78
and upon the people
of my curse, to judgment.
00:08:54.79\00:08:58.76
The sword of the
Lord is filled with blood,
00:08:58.77\00:09:01.27
it is made fat with fatness,
00:09:01.28\00:09:03.43
and with the blood
of lambs and goats,
00:09:03.44\00:09:05.85
with the fat of
the kidneys of rams,
00:09:05.86\00:09:08.89
for the Lord hath a
sacrifice in Bozrah,
00:09:08.90\00:09:11.79
and a great slaughter
in the land of Idumea.
00:09:11.80\00:09:15.18
And the unicorns
shall come down with them,
00:09:15.19\00:09:17.17
and the bullocks with the bulls,
00:09:17.18\00:09:19.32
and their land shall
be soaked with blood,
00:09:19.33\00:09:21.16
and their dust
made fat with fatness.
00:09:21.17\00:09:24.24
For it is the day of
the Lord's vengeance,
00:09:24.25\00:09:26.53
and the year of recompences
for the controversy of Zion.
00:09:26.54\00:09:31.23
And the streams thereof
shall be turned into pitch,
00:09:31.24\00:09:34.36
and the dust
thereof into brimstone,
00:09:34.37\00:09:36.34
and the land thereof
shall become burning pitch.
00:09:36.35\00:09:40.09
It shall not be
quenched night nor day,
00:09:40.10\00:09:43.29
the smoke thereof
shall go up for ever,
00:09:43.30\00:09:45.49
from generation to
generation it shall lie waste,
00:09:45.50\00:09:49.42
none shall pass
through it for ever and ever.
00:09:49.43\00:09:53.34
But the cormorant
00:09:53.35\00:09:54.32
and the bittern
shall possess it,
00:09:54.33\00:09:56.47
the owl also and the
raven shall dwell in it,
00:09:56.48\00:10:00.03
and he shall stretch out upon it
00:10:00.04\00:10:02.00
the line of confusion,
and the stones of emptiness.
00:10:02.01\00:10:07.61
They shall call the
nobles thereof to the kingdom,
00:10:07.62\00:10:09.92
but none shall be there,
00:10:09.93\00:10:11.53
and all her
princes shall be nothing.
00:10:11.54\00:10:14.58
And thorns shall
come up in her palaces,
00:10:14.59\00:10:16.80
nettles and brambles
in the fortresses thereof,
00:10:16.81\00:10:20.55
and it shall be an
habitation of dragons,
00:10:20.56\00:10:23.02
and a court for owls.
00:10:23.03\00:10:25.27
The wild beasts of
the desert shall also meet
00:10:25.28\00:10:27.64
with the wild
beasts of the island,
00:10:27.65\00:10:29.48
and the satyr
shall cry to his fellow,
00:10:29.49\00:10:31.90
the screech owl
also shall rest there,
00:10:31.91\00:10:33.97
and find for
herself a place of rest.
00:10:33.98\00:10:37.75
There shall the
great owl make her nest,
00:10:37.76\00:10:39.90
and lay, and hatch, and
gather under her shadow,
00:10:39.91\00:10:43.91
there shall the
vultures also be gathered,
00:10:43.92\00:10:46.56
every one with her mate.
00:10:46.57\00:10:49.06
Seek ye out of the
book of the Lord, and read,
00:10:49.07\00:10:53.76
no one of these shall
fail, none shall want her mate,
00:10:53.77\00:10:56.79
for my mouth it hath commanded,
00:10:56.80\00:10:59.23
and his spirit it
hath gathered them.
00:10:59.24\00:11:02.99
And he hath cast
the lot for them,
00:11:03.00\00:11:04.32
and his hand hath
divided it unto them by line,
00:11:04.33\00:11:07.97
they shall possess it for ever,
00:11:07.98\00:11:09.95
from generation to generation
shall they dwell therein".
00:11:09.96\00:11:14.95
We are reading now in Isaiah
00:11:14.96\00:11:16.37
Chapter 35 and this is
the King James Version.
00:11:16.38\00:11:20.72
"The wilderness
and the solitary place
00:11:20.73\00:11:22.91
shall be glad for them,
and the desert shall rejoice,
00:11:22.92\00:11:26.74
and blossom as the rose.
00:11:26.75\00:11:29.17
It shall blossom abundantly,
00:11:29.18\00:11:31.11
and rejoice even
with joy and singing,
00:11:31.12\00:11:34.65
the glory of Lebanon
shall be given unto it,
00:11:34.66\00:11:37.27
the excellency of
Carmel and Sharon,
00:11:37.28\00:11:39.81
they shall see
the glory of the Lord,
00:11:39.82\00:11:41.96
and the excellency of our God.
00:11:41.97\00:11:44.46
Strengthen ye the weak hands,
00:11:44.47\00:11:47.40
and confirm the feeble knees.
00:11:47.41\00:11:50.22
Say to them that
are of a fearful heart,
00:11:50.23\00:11:53.25
Be strong, fear not,
00:11:53.26\00:11:55.51
behold, your God
will come with vengeance,
00:11:55.52\00:11:59.42
even God with a recompence,
he will come and save you.
00:11:59.43\00:12:04.98
Then the eyes of the
blind shall be opened,
00:12:04.99\00:12:08.12
and the ears of the
deaf shall be unstopped.
00:12:08.13\00:12:10.83
Then shall the lame
man leap as an hart,
00:12:10.84\00:12:14.08
and the tongue of the dumb sing,
00:12:14.09\00:12:16.49
for in the wilderness
shall waters break out,
00:12:16.50\00:12:19.43
and streams in the desert.
00:12:19.44\00:12:21.85
And the parched
ground shall become a pool,
00:12:21.86\00:12:23.96
and the thirsty
land springs of water,
00:12:23.97\00:12:27.27
in the habitation of
dragons, where each lay,
00:12:27.28\00:12:30.45
shall be grass
with reeds and rushes.
00:12:30.46\00:12:34.27
And an highway shall be there,
00:12:34.28\00:12:35.92
and a way, and
it shall be called
00:12:35.93\00:12:37.47
The way of holiness,
00:12:37.48\00:12:39.48
the unclean
shall not pass over it,
00:12:39.49\00:12:41.77
but it shall be for
those, the wayfaring men,
00:12:41.78\00:12:45.20
though fools,
shall not err therein.
00:12:45.21\00:12:48.59
No lion shall be there,
00:12:48.60\00:12:50.42
nor any ravenous
beast shall go up thereon,
00:12:50.43\00:12:53.42
it shall not be found there,
00:12:53.43\00:12:55.25
but the redeemed
shall walk there,
00:12:55.26\00:12:58.18
And the ransomed of
the Lord shall return,
00:12:58.19\00:13:01.02
and come to Zion with songs
00:13:01.03\00:13:03.15
and everlasting
joy upon their heads,
00:13:03.16\00:13:05.97
they shall
obtain joy and gladness,
00:13:05.98\00:13:09.45
and sorrow and
sighing shall flee away."
00:13:09.46\00:13:14.41
Continuing in Isaiah Chapter 36.
00:13:14.42\00:13:18.60
"Now it came to pass
in the fourteenth year
00:13:18.61\00:13:20.99
of king Hezekiah,
00:13:21.00\00:13:22.75
that Sennacherib king of Assyria
00:13:22.76\00:13:25.13
came up against all the
defenced cities of Judah,
00:13:25.14\00:13:28.80
and took them.
00:13:28.81\00:13:30.66
And the king of
Assyria sent Rabshakeh
00:13:30.67\00:13:34.18
from Lachish to Jerusalem
00:13:34.19\00:13:35.98
unto king
Hezekiah with a great army.
00:13:35.99\00:13:39.10
And he stood by the
conduit of the upper pool
00:13:39.11\00:13:42.02
in the highway of
the fuller's field.
00:13:42.03\00:13:45.13
Then came forth
unto him Eliakim,
00:13:45.14\00:13:48.94
Hilkiah's son,
which was over the house,
00:13:48.95\00:13:51.74
and Shebna the scribe, and Joah,
00:13:51.75\00:13:54.50
Asaph's son, the recorder.
00:13:54.51\00:13:57.94
And Rabshakeh said unto
them, Say ye now to Hezekiah,
00:13:57.95\00:14:02.91
Thus saith the great
king, the king of Assyria,
00:14:02.92\00:14:06.95
What confidence is
this wherein thou trustest?
00:14:06.96\00:14:11.65
I say, sayest thou,
but they are but vain words
00:14:11.66\00:14:16.54
I have counsel
and strength for war,
00:14:16.55\00:14:19.63
now on whom dost thou trust,
00:14:19.64\00:14:21.70
that thou rebellest against me?
00:14:21.71\00:14:24.20
Lo, thou trustest in the staff
00:14:24.21\00:14:26.19
of this broken reed, on Egypt,
00:14:26.20\00:14:29.36
whereon if a man lean,
it will go into his hand,
00:14:29.37\00:14:31.75
and pierce it,
00:14:31.76\00:14:33.27
so is Pharaoh king of
Egypt to all that trust in him.
