Isaiah 25Isaiah 26Hebrews 10.19-39Isaiah 25
1
O LORD, thou [art] my God I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name for thou hast done wonderful [things thy] counsels of old [are] faithfulness [and] truth.
2
For thou hast made of a city an heap [of] a defenced city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city it shall never be built.
3
Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of the terrible nations shall fear thee.
4
For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones [is] as a storm [against] the wall.
5
Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry place [even] the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low.
6
And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.
7
And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations.
8
He will swallow up death in victory and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken [it].
9
And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this [is] our God we have waited for him, and he will save us: this [is] the LORD we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
10
For in this mountain shall the hand of the LORD rest, and Moab shall be trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill.
11
And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth [his hands] to swim: and he shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands.
12
And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls shall he bring down, lay low, [and] bring to the ground, [even] to the dust.
Isaiah 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
Yea, 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 yea, 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 favour be shewed to the wicked, [yet] will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he 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 yea, the fire of thine 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 [unto] 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
Like 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 in 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 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.
Hebrews 10
19-39
19
Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
20
By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh
21
And [having] an high priest over the house of God
22
Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
23
Let us hold fast the profession of [our] faith without wavering (for he [is] faithful that promised)
24
And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
25
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some [is] but exhorting [one another]: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
26
For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
27
But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
28
He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
29
Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
30
For we know him that hath said, Vengeance [belongeth] unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
31
[It is] a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32
But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions
33
Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used.
34
For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.
35
Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.
36
For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
37
For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
38
Now the just shall live by faith: but if [any man] draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
39
But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
