Hello, and welcome
to "His Words Are Life."
00:00:15.74\00:00:18.01
I'm Kelly Mowrer,
and thank you for joining
00:00:18.02\00:00:19.71
with me today to read
the Book of Isaiah together.
00:00:19.72\00:00:22.75
Before we start, let's pray.
00:00:22.76\00:00:25.24
Dear, Heavenly
Father, please be with us now
00:00:25.25\00:00:28.25
as we read Your words and
please send the Holy Spirit
00:00:28.26\00:00:31.54
to bring
understanding to our hearts.
00:00:31.55\00:00:33.96
We ask this in the
name of Jesus, amen.
00:00:33.97\00:00:37.47
We're reading in
Isaiah Chapter 60
00:00:37.48\00:00:40.27
beginning with verse 17,
00:00:40.28\00:00:42.38
and this is the
King James Version.
00:00:42.39\00:00:45.48
"For brass I will bring gold,
00:00:45.49\00:00:48.39
and for iron I
will bring silver,
00:00:48.40\00:00:50.03
and for wood brass,
and for stones iron,
00:00:50.04\00:00:54.13
I will also make
thy officers peace,
00:00:54.14\00:00:57.40
and thine
exactors righteousness.
00:00:57.41\00:01:00.62
Violence shall no
more be heard in thy land,
00:01:00.63\00:01:03.56
wasting nor
destruction within thy borders,
00:01:03.57\00:01:06.71
but thou shalt call
thy walls Salvation,
00:01:06.72\00:01:10.04
and thy gates Praise.
00:01:10.05\00:01:12.77
The sun shall be no
more thy light by day,
00:01:12.78\00:01:15.29
neither for brightness
00:01:15.30\00:01:16.30
shall the moon
give light unto thee,
00:01:16.31\00:01:17.80
but the Lord shall be
unto thee an everlasting light,
00:01:17.81\00:01:22.04
and thy God thy glory.
00:01:22.05\00:01:25.35
Thy sun shall no more go down,
00:01:25.36\00:01:27.52
neither shall thy
moon withdraw itself,
00:01:27.53\00:01:29.57
for the Lord shall be
thine everlasting light,
00:01:29.58\00:01:31.45
and the days of thy
mourning shall be ended.
00:01:31.46\00:01:35.06
Thy people also
shall be all righteous.
00:01:35.07\00:01:37.81
They shall
inherit the land for ever,
00:01:37.82\00:01:40.39
the branch of my
planting, the work of my hands,
00:01:40.40\00:01:43.96
that I may be glorified.
00:01:43.97\00:01:47.00
A little one
shall become a thousand,
00:01:47.01\00:01:49.31
and a small one a strong nation.
00:01:49.32\00:01:52.95
I the Lord will
hasten it in his time."
00:01:52.96\00:01:58.02
Continuing with
Isaiah Chapter 61
00:01:58.03\00:02:00.70
and this is the
King James Version.
00:02:00.71\00:02:04.12
"The Spirit of the
Lord God is upon me.
00:02:04.13\00:02:07.28
Because the
Lord hath anointed me
00:02:07.29\00:02:09.34
to preach good
tidings unto the meek,
00:02:09.35\00:02:12.35
he hath sent me to
bind up the broken hearted,
00:02:12.36\00:02:15.72
to proclaim
liberty to the captives,
00:02:15.73\00:02:17.56
and the opening of the
prison to them that are bound.
00:02:17.57\00:02:21.66
To proclaim the
acceptable year of the Lord,
00:02:21.67\00:02:25.29
and the day of
vengeance of our God,
00:02:25.30\00:02:27.74
to comfort all that mourn.
00:02:27.75\00:02:30.42
To appoint unto
them that mourn in Zion,
00:02:30.43\00:02:32.75
to give unto
them beauty for ashes,
00:02:32.76\00:02:36.41
the oil of joy for mourning,
00:02:36.42\00:02:39.49
the garment of praise
for the spirit of heaviness,
00:02:39.50\00:02:43.99
that they might be
called trees of righteousness,
00:02:44.00\00:02:46.85
the planting of the Lord,
that he might be glorified.
00:02:46.86\00:02:52.38
And they shall
build the old wastes,
00:02:52.39\00:02:54.91
they shall raise up
the former desolations,
00:02:54.92\00:02:57.31
and they shall
repair the waste cities,
00:02:57.32\00:02:59.80
the desolations
of many generations.
00:02:59.81\00:03:01.66
And strangers shall
stand and feed your flocks,
00:03:01.67\00:03:05.03
and the sons of the
alien shall be your plowmen
00:03:05.04\00:03:07.81
and your vinedressers.
00:03:07.82\00:03:09.69
But ye shall be named
the Priests of the Lord,
00:03:09.70\00:03:12.81
men shall call you
the Ministers of our God,
00:03:12.82\00:03:15.31
ye shall eat the
riches of the Gentiles,
00:03:15.32\00:03:17.38
and in their glory
shall ye boast yourselves.
00:03:17.39\00:03:20.45
For your shame ye
shall have double,
00:03:20.46\00:03:23.63
and for confusion they
shall rejoice in their portion.
00:03:23.64\00:03:27.85
Therefore in their land
00:03:27.86\00:03:28.83
they shall possess the double,
00:03:28.84\00:03:30.68
everlasting joy
shall be upon them.
00:03:30.69\00:03:33.81
For I the Lord love judgment,
00:03:33.82\00:03:37.38
I hate robbery
for burnt offering,
00:03:37.39\00:03:40.51
and I will direct their
work in truth, and I will make
00:03:40.52\00:03:43.65
an everlasting
covenant with them.
00:03:43.66\00:03:46.44
And their seed shall be
known among the Gentiles,
00:03:46.45\00:03:49.32
and their
offspring among the people.
00:03:49.33\00:03:51.83
All that see them
shall acknowledge them,
00:03:51.84\00:03:54.91
that they are the seed
which the Lord hath blessed.
00:03:54.92\00:03:57.75
I will greatly
rejoice in the Lord,
00:03:57.76\00:04:00.73
my soul shall be
joyful in my God,
00:04:00.74\00:04:03.67
for he hath clothed me
with the garments of salvation,
00:04:03.68\00:04:07.12
he hath covered me with
the robe of righteousness,
00:04:07.13\00:04:10.35
as a bridegroom Decked
himself with ornaments,
00:04:10.36\00:04:12.45
and as a bride adorned
herself with her jewels.
00:04:12.46\00:04:16.14
For as the earth
bring forth her bud,
00:04:16.15\00:04:18.26
and as the
garden causes the things
00:04:18.27\00:04:20.56
that are sown in
it to spring forth,
00:04:20.57\00:04:23.17
so the Lord, God,
will cause righteousness
00:04:23.18\00:04:26.01
and praise to spring
forth before all the nations."
00:04:26.02\00:04:31.47
Continuing in the
Book of Isaiah, Chapter 62
00:04:31.48\00:04:34.78
and this is the
King James Version.
00:04:34.79\00:04:38.29
"For Zion's sake
will I not hold my peace,
00:04:38.30\00:04:41.22
and for Jerusalem's
sake I will not rest,
00:04:41.23\00:04:43.31
until the righteousness
thereof go forth as brightness,
00:04:43.32\00:04:46.26
and the salvation
thereof as a lamp that burneth.
00:04:46.27\00:04:50.18
And the Gentiles
shall see thy righteousness,
00:04:50.19\00:04:52.24
and all kings thy glory.
00:04:52.25\00:04:54.39
And thou shalt be
called by a new name,
00:04:54.40\00:04:56.99
which the mouth of
the Lord shall name.
00:04:57.00\00:04:59.71
Thou shalt also
be a crown of glory
00:04:59.72\00:05:01.84
in the hand of the Lord,
00:05:01.85\00:05:03.15
and a royal diadem
in the hand of thy God.
00:05:03.16\00:05:06.50
Thou shalt no more
be termed Forsaken,
00:05:06.51\00:05:09.69
neither shall thy land
any more be termed Desolate.
00:05:09.70\00:05:13.86
But thou shalt be called
Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah.
00:05:13.87\00:05:18.98
For the Lord delighted in thee,
00:05:18.99\00:05:20.48
and thy land shall be married.
00:05:20.49\00:05:23.66
For as a young
man married a virgin,
00:05:23.67\00:05:25.59
so shall thy sons marry thee.
00:05:25.60\00:05:27.90
And as the bridegroom
rejoiceth over the bride,
00:05:27.91\00:05:31.14
so shall thy God
rejoice over thee.
00:05:31.15\00:05:34.69
I have set watchmen
upon thy walls, O Jerusalem,
00:05:34.70\00:05:37.99
which shall never hold
their peace day nor night.
00:05:38.00\00:05:41.43
Ye that make
mention of the Lord,
00:05:41.44\00:05:43.02
keep not silence,
And give him no rest,
00:05:43.03\00:05:45.41
till he establish,
and till he make Jerusalem
00:05:45.42\00:05:47.48
a praise in the earth.
00:05:47.49\00:05:49.78
The Lord hath
sworn by his right hand,
00:05:49.79\00:05:52.15
and by the arm of his strength,
00:05:52.16\00:05:54.43
surely I will no
more give thy corn
00:05:54.44\00:05:57.00
to be meat for thine enemies,
00:05:57.01\00:05:59.42
and the sons of the stranger
shall not drink thy wine,
00:05:59.43\00:06:02.86
for the which thou hast labored.
00:06:02.87\00:06:05.33
But they that have
gathered it shall eat it,
00:06:05.34\00:06:07.41
and praise the Lord.
00:06:07.42\00:06:09.47
And they that have
brought it together
00:06:09.48\00:06:11.47
shall drink it in the
courts of my holiness.
00:06:11.48\00:06:15.20
Go through, go
through the gates,
00:06:15.21\00:06:17.35
prepare ye the
way of the people,
00:06:17.36\00:06:19.42
cast up, cast up the
highway, gather out the stones,
00:06:19.43\00:06:23.07
lift up a
standard for the people.
00:06:23.08\00:06:25.50
Behold, the Lord hath proclaimed
00:06:25.51\00:06:27.90
unto the end of the world,
Say ye to the daughter of Zion,
00:06:27.91\00:06:31.47
Behold, thy salvation cometh,
behold, his reward is with him,
00:06:31.48\00:06:36.88
and his work before him.
00:06:36.89\00:06:39.47
And they shall call
them, the holy people,
00:06:39.48\00:06:42.28
the redeemed of the Lord.
00:06:42.29\00:06:44.65
And thou shalt be called,
00:06:44.66\00:06:46.40
Sought out, a
city not forsaken."
00:06:46.41\00:06:51.87
Continuing in Isaiah Chapter 63
00:06:51.88\00:06:54.21
and this is the
King James Version.
00:06:54.22\00:06:57.18
"Who is this
that cometh from Edom,
00:06:57.19\00:06:59.36
with dyed garments from Bozrah?
00:06:59.37\00:07:02.03
This that is
glorious in his apparel,
00:07:02.04\00:07:04.40
traveling in the
greatness of his strength?
00:07:04.41\00:07:07.23
I that speak in
righteousness, mighty to save.
00:07:07.24\00:07:12.13
Wherefore art thou
red in thine apparel,
00:07:12.14\00:07:14.64
and thy garments like him
that treaded in the wine fat?
00:07:14.65\00:07:17.97
I have trodden
the wine press alone,
00:07:17.98\00:07:20.77
and of the people
there was none with me.
00:07:20.78\00:07:22.37
For I will tread
them in mine anger,
00:07:22.38\00:07:24.00
and trample them in my fury,
00:07:24.01\00:07:25.27
and their blood shall be
sprinkled upon my garments,
00:07:25.28\00:07:28.17
and I will stain all my raiment.
00:07:28.18\00:07:29.89
For the day of
vengeance is in mine heart,
00:07:29.90\00:07:32.04
and the year of
my redeemed is come.
00:07:32.05\00:07:35.53
And I looked, and
there was none to help,
00:07:35.54\00:07:39.30
and I wondered that
there was none to uphold.
00:07:39.31\00:07:43.36
Therefore mine own arm
brought salvation unto me,
00:07:43.37\00:07:45.52
and my fury, it upheld me.
00:07:45.53\00:07:48.24
And I will tread down
the people in mine anger,
00:07:48.25\00:07:50.06
and make them drunk in my fury,
00:07:50.07\00:07:51.62
and I will bring down
their strength to the earth.
00:07:51.63\00:07:55.20
I will mention the
loving kindnesses of the Lord,
00:07:55.21\00:07:57.35
and the praises of
the Lord, according to all
00:07:57.36\00:08:00.13
that the Lord
hath bestowed on us,
00:08:00.14\00:08:01.86
and the great goodness
toward the house of Israel,
00:08:01.87\00:08:04.50
which he hath bestowed on them
00:08:04.51\00:08:06.16
according to his mercies,
and according to the multitude
00:08:06.17\00:08:09.28
of his loving kindnesses.
00:08:09.29\00:08:11.63
For he said,
"Surely they are my people,
00:08:11.64\00:08:15.19
children that will not
lie. So he was their Savior."
00:08:15.20\00:08:19.26
In all their
affliction he was afflicted,
00:08:19.27\00:08:22.34
and the angel of
his presence saved them,
00:08:22.35\00:08:25.69
in his love and in
his pity he redeemed them,
00:08:25.70\00:08:30.30
and he bare them, and carried
them all the days of old.
00:08:30.31\00:08:34.55
But they rebelled,
and vexed his Holy Spirit.
00:08:34.56\00:08:38.05
Therefore he was
turned to be their enemy,
00:08:38.06\00:08:40.12
and he fought against them.
00:08:40.13\00:08:42.14
Then he
remembered the days of old,
00:08:42.15\00:08:44.50
Moses, and his people, saying,
00:08:44.51\00:08:47.82
"Where is he
that brought them up
00:08:47.83\00:08:48.90
out of the sea with
the shepherd of his flock?
00:08:48.91\00:08:51.06
Where is he that put
his Holy Spirit within him?'
00:08:51.07\00:08:53.87
That led them by
the right hand of Moses
00:08:53.88\00:08:55.79
with his glorious arm,
dividing the water before them,
00:08:55.80\00:08:58.38
to make himself
an everlasting name?
00:08:58.39\00:09:00.64
That led them through the deep,
00:09:00.65\00:09:02.27
as an horse in the wilderness,
that they should not stumble?
00:09:02.28\00:09:05.38
As a beast goeth
down into the valley,
00:09:05.39\00:09:07.09
the Spirit of the
Lord, caused him to rest.
00:09:07.10\00:09:09.34
So didst thou lead thy people,
00:09:09.35\00:09:11.71
to make thyself a glorious name.
00:09:11.72\00:09:14.46
Look down from heaven,
and behold from the habitation
00:09:14.47\00:09:18.15
of thy holiness
and of thy glory.
00:09:18.16\00:09:20.56
Where is thy
zeal and thy strength,
00:09:20.57\00:09:23.41
the sounding of thy bowels
and of thy mercies toward me?
00:09:23.42\00:09:26.46
Are they restrained?
00:09:26.47\00:09:28.95
Doubtless thou art our Father,
00:09:28.96\00:09:32.07
though Abraham
be ignorant of us,
00:09:32.08\00:09:33.73
and Israel acknowledge us not.
00:09:33.74\00:09:36.61
Thou, O Lord, art our Father,
00:09:36.62\00:09:39.16
our redeemer, thy
name is from everlasting.
00:09:39.17\00:09:43.25
O Lord, why hast thou
made us to err from thy ways,
00:09:43.26\00:09:47.19
and hardened our
heart from thy fear?
00:09:47.20\00:09:50.72
Return for thy servants' sake,
00:09:50.73\00:09:53.05
the tribes of thine inheritance.
00:09:53.06\00:09:56.04
The people of thy
holiness have possessed it
00:09:56.05\00:09:58.91
but a little while.
00:09:58.92\00:10:00.92
Our adversaries have
trodden down thy sanctuary.
00:10:00.93\00:10:04.64
We are thine, thou
never barest rule over them,
00:10:04.65\00:10:08.84
they were not
called by thy name."
00:10:08.85\00:10:12.58
Continuing in Isaiah Chapter 64
00:10:12.59\00:10:14.76
and this is the
King James Version.
00:10:14.77\00:10:18.00
"Oh, that thou
wouldst rend the heavens
00:10:18.01\00:10:20.99
that thou wouldst come down,
00:10:21.00\00:10:22.37
that the mountains might
flow down at thy presence,
00:10:22.38\00:10:25.09
as when the
melting fire burneth,
00:10:25.10\00:10:26.99
the fire caused
the waters to boil,
00:10:27.00\00:10:29.54
to make thy name
known to thine adversaries,
00:10:29.55\00:10:31.62
that the nations may
tremble at thy presence!
00:10:31.63\00:10:34.94
When thou didst terrible things
00:10:34.95\00:10:36.22
which we looked not
for, thou camest down,
00:10:36.23\00:10:39.46
the mountains flowed
down at thy presence.
00:10:39.47\00:10:41.72
For since the beginning of
the world men have not heard,
00:10:41.73\00:10:44.83
nor perceived by the ear,
neither hath the eye seen,
00:10:44.84\00:10:48.28
O God, beside thee,
00:10:48.29\00:10:50.07
what he hath prepared
for him that waited for him.
00:10:50.08\00:10:53.69
Thou meetest him that rejoiceth
00:10:53.70\00:10:56.05
and worketh righteousness,
00:10:56.06\00:10:58.03
those that
remember thee in thy ways.
00:10:58.04\00:11:00.93
Behold, thou art
wroth, for we have sinned,
00:11:00.94\00:11:05.02
in those is continuance,
and we shall be saved.
00:11:05.03\00:11:09.58
But we are all
as an unclean thing,
00:11:09.59\00:11:12.06
and all our righteousnesses
are as filthy rags,
00:11:12.07\00:11:17.08
and we all do fade as a
leaf, and our iniquities,
00:11:17.09\00:11:20.50
like the wind,
have taken us away.
00:11:20.51\00:11:23.08
And there is none
that calleth upon thy name,
00:11:23.09\00:11:25.88
that stirred up
himself to take hold of thee,
00:11:25.89\00:11:28.03
for thou hast
hid thy face from us,
00:11:28.04\00:11:30.41
and hast consumed us,
because of our iniquities.
00:11:30.42\00:11:34.27
But now, O Lord,
thou art our Father,
00:11:34.28\00:11:38.73
we are the clay,
and thou our potter,
00:11:38.74\00:11:42.24
and we all are
the work of thy hand.
00:11:42.25\00:11:45.97
Be not wroth very sore, O Lord,
00:11:45.98\00:11:49.34
neither remember
iniquity for ever.
00:11:49.35\00:11:52.43
Behold, see, we beseech
thee, we are all thy people.
00:11:52.44\00:11:58.85
Thy holy cities
are a wilderness,
00:11:58.86\00:12:00.47
Zion is a wilderness,
Jerusalem a desolation.
00:12:00.48\00:12:03.79
Our holy and
our beautiful house,
00:12:03.80\00:12:05.72
where our fathers praised thee,
00:12:05.73\00:12:07.01
is burned up with fire.
00:12:07.02\00:12:09.09
And all our pleasant
things are laid waste.
00:12:09.10\00:12:12.37
Wilt thou refrain thyself
for these things, O Lord?
00:12:12.38\00:12:16.07
Wilt thou hold thy peace,
and afflict us very sore?"
00:12:16.08\00:12:22.00
Continuing in Isaiah, Chapter 65
00:12:22.01\00:12:24.53
and this is the
King James Version.
00:12:24.54\00:12:28.42
"I am sought of them
that asked not for me,
00:12:28.43\00:12:32.32
I am found of them
that sought me not.
00:12:32.33\00:12:36.22
I said, behold me, behold me,
00:12:36.23\00:12:40.12
unto a nation that
was not called by my name.
00:12:40.13\00:12:44.97
I've spread out my hands
00:12:44.98\00:12:46.26
all the day unto
a rebellious people,
00:12:46.27\00:12:49.42
which walketh in a
way that was not good,
00:12:49.43\00:12:51.27
after their own thoughts,
a people that provoketh me
00:12:51.28\00:12:54.19
to anger continually to my face,
00:12:54.20\00:12:56.80
that sacrificeth in gardens,
00:12:56.81\00:12:59.03
and burneth incense
upon altars of brick.
00:12:59.04\00:13:01.91
Which remain among the graves,
00:13:01.92\00:13:03.46
and lodge in the monuments,
which eat swine's flesh,
00:13:03.47\00:13:06.59
and broth of abominable
things is in their vessels,
00:13:06.60\00:13:10.32
which say, stand by
thyself, come not near to me,
00:13:10.33\00:13:14.06
for I am holier than thou.
00:13:14.07\00:13:16.71
These are a smoke in my nose,
00:13:16.72\00:13:19.10
a fire that burneth all the day.
00:13:19.11\00:13:21.78
Behold, it is written before me.
00:13:21.79\00:13:23.32
I will not keep
silence, but will recompense,
00:13:23.33\00:13:27.06
even recompense into
their bosom, your iniquities,
00:13:27.07\00:13:31.08
and the iniquities of
your fathers together,
00:13:31.09\00:13:33.29
said the Lord,
which have burned incense
00:13:33.30\00:13:36.12
upon the mountains
00:13:36.13\00:13:37.19
and blasphemed
me upon the hills.
00:13:37.20\00:13:40.28
Therefore will I measure
00:13:40.29\00:13:41.47
their former
work into their bosom.
00:13:41.48\00:13:44.83
Thus saith the Lord,
as the new wine is found
00:13:44.84\00:13:48.37
in the cluster, and one saith,
00:13:48.38\00:13:51.08
destroy it not, for
a blessing is in it.
00:13:51.09\00:13:54.34
So will I do for
my servants' sakes,
00:13:54.35\00:13:57.75
that I may not destroy them all.
00:13:57.76\00:14:00.60
And I will bring
forth a seed out of Jacob,
00:14:00.61\00:14:03.28
and out of Judah an
inheritor of my mountains.
00:14:03.29\00:14:07.15
And mine elect shall inherit it,
00:14:07.16\00:14:09.77
and my servants
shall dwell there.
00:14:09.78\00:14:12.61
And Sharon shall
be a fold of flocks,
00:14:12.62\00:14:15.96
and the valley of Achor
00:14:15.97\00:14:17.73
a place for the
herds to lie down,
00:14:17.74\00:14:20.63
for my people
that have sought me.
00:14:20.64\00:14:22.69
But ye are they
that forsake the Lord,
00:14:22.70\00:14:25.34
that forget my holy mountain,
00:14:25.35\00:14:26.86
that prepare a
table for that troop,
00:14:26.87\00:14:29.23
and that furnish the
drink offering unto that number.
00:14:29.24\00:14:33.22
Therefore will I
number you to the sword,
00:14:33.23\00:14:36.50
and ye shall all bow
down to the slaughter."
