[HNV] Paul's Letter to the Galatians 4, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Paul's Letter to the Galatians, Chapter 4
{4:1} But I say that so long as the heir is a child, he is no
different from a bondservant, though he is lord of all; {4:2} but is
under guardians and stewards until the day appointed by the father.
{4:3} So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under
the elemental principles of the world. {4:4} But when the fullness of
the time came, God sent out his Son, born to a woman, born under the
law, {4:5} that he might redeem those who were under the law, that we
might receive the adoption of children. {4:6} And because you are
children, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying,
"[1>]Abba,[<1] Father!" {4:7} So you are no longer a bondservant, but
a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Messiah. {4:8}
However at that time, not knowing God, you were in bondage to those
who by nature are not gods. {4:9} But now that you have come to know
God, or rather to be known by God, why do you turn back again to the
weak and miserable elemental principles, to which you desire to be in
bondage all over again? {4:10} You observe days, months, seasons, and
years. {4:11} I am afraid for you, that I might have wasted my labor
for you. {4:12} I beg you, brothers, become as I am, for I also have
become as you are. You did me no wrong, {4:13} but you know that
because of weakness of the flesh I preached the Good News to you the
first time. {4:14} That which was a temptation to you in my flesh, you
didn't despise nor reject; but you received me as an angel of God,
even as Messiah Yeshua.
{4:15} What was the blessing you enjoyed? For I testify to you that,
if possible, you would have plucked out your eyes and given them to
me. {4:16} So then, have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?
{4:17} They zealously seek you in no good way. No, they desire to
alienate you, that you may seek them. {4:18} But it is always good to
be zealous in a good cause, and not only when I am present with you.
{4:19} My little children, of whom I am again in travail until
Messiah is formed in you--{4:20} but I could wish to be present with
you now, and to change my tone, for I am perplexed about you. {4:21}
Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, don't you listen to the
law? {4:22} For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the
handmaid, and one by the free woman. {4:23} However, the son by the
handmaid was born according to the flesh, but the son by the free
woman was born through promise. {4:24} These things contain an
allegory, for these are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai,
bearing children to bondage, which is Hagar. {4:25} For this Hagar is
Mount Sinai in Arabia, and answers to the Jerusalem that exists now,
for she is in bondage with her children. {4:26} But the Jerusalem that
is above is free, which is the mother of us all. {4:27} For it is
written,
"Rejoice, you barren who don't bear.
Break forth and shout, you that don't travail.
For more are the children of the desolate than of her who has a
husband."[2]
{4:28} Now we, brothers, as Isaac was, are children of promise.
{4:29} But as then, he who was born according to the flesh persecuted
him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now. {4:30}
However what does the Scripture say? "Throw out the handmaid and her
son, for the son of the handmaid will not inherit with the son of the
free woman."[3] {4:31} So then, brothers, we are not children of a
handmaid, but of the free woman.

[HNV] Isaiah 34, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Isaiah, starting at chapter 34
{34:1} Come near, you nations, to hear!
Listen, you peoples.
Let the earth and all it contains hear;
the world, and everything that comes from it.
{34:2} For the LORD is enraged against all the nations,
and angry with all their armies.
He has utterly destroyed them.
He has given them over for slaughter.
{34:3} Their slain will also be cast out,
and the stench of their dead bodies will come up;
and the mountains will melt in their blood.
{34:4} All of the army of the sky will be dissolved.
The sky will be rolled up like a scroll,
and all its armies will fade away,
as a leaf fades from off a vine or a fig tree.
{34:5} For my sword has drunk its fill in the sky.
Behold, it will come down on Edom,
and on the people of my curse, for judgment.
{34:6} The LORD's sword is filled with blood.
It is covered with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats,
with the fat of the kidneys of rams;
for the LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah,
And a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
{34:7} The wild oxen will come down with them,
and the young bulls with the mighty bulls;
and their land will be drunken with blood,
and their dust made greasy with fat.
{34:8} For the LORD has a day of vengeance,
a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
{34:9} Its streams will be turned into pitch,
its dust into sulfur,
And its land will become burning pitch.
{34:10} It won't be quenched night nor day.
Its smoke will go up forever.
From generation to generation, it will lie waste.
No one will pass through it forever and ever.
{34:11} But the pelican and the porcupine will possess it.
The owl and the raven will dwell in it.
He will stretch the line of confusion over it,
and the plumb line of emptiness.
{34:12} They shall call its nobles to the kingdom, but none shall be
there;
and all its princes shall be nothing.
{34:13} Thorns will come up in its palaces,
nettles and thistles in its fortresses;
and it will be a habitation of jackals,
a court for ostriches.
{34:14} The wild animals of the desert will meet with the wolves,
and the wild goat will cry to his fellow.
Yes, the [1>]night creature[<1] shall settle there,
and shall find herself a place of rest.
{34:15} The arrow snake will make her nest there,
and lay, hatch, and gather under her shade.
Yes, the kites will be gathered there, every one with her mate.
{34:16} Search in the book of the LORD, and read:
not one of these will be missing.
none will lack her mate.
For my mouth has commanded,
and his Spirit has gathered them.
{34:17} He has cast the lot for them,
and his hand has divided it to them with a measuring line.
They shall possess it forever.
From generation to generation they will dwell in it.
{35:1} The wilderness and the dry land will be glad.
The desert will rejoice and blossom like a rose.
{35:2} It will blossom abundantly,
and rejoice even with joy and singing.
Lebanon's glory Lebanon will be given to it,
the excellence of Carmel and Sharon.
They will see the LORD's glory,
the excellence of our God.
{35:3} Strengthen the weak hands,
and make firm the feeble knees.
{35:4} Tell those who have a fearful heart, "Be strong.
Don't be afraid.
Behold, your God will come with vengeance, God's retribution.
He will come and save you.
{35:5} Then the eyes of the blind will be opened,
and the ears of the deaf will be unstopped.
{35:6} Then the lame man will leap like a deer,
and the tongue of the mute will sing;
for waters will break out in the wilderness,
and streams in the desert.
{35:7} The burning sand will become a pool,
and the thirsty ground springs of water.
Grass with reeds and rushes will be in the habitation of jackals,
where they lay.
{35:8} A highway will be there, a road,
and it will be called The Holy Way.
The unclean shall not pass over it,
but it will be for those who walk in the Way.
Wicked fools will not go there.
{35:9} No lion will be there,
nor will any ravenous animal go up on it.
They will not be found there;
but the redeemed will walk there.
{35:10} The the LORD's ransomed ones will return,
and come with singing to Zion;
and everlasting joy will be on their heads.
They will obtain gladness and joy,
and sorrow and sighing will flee away."
{36:1} Now it happened in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that
Sennacherib king of Assyria attacked all of the fortified cities of
Judah, and captured them. {36:2} The king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh
from Lachish to Jerusalem to king Hezekiah with a large army. He stood
by the aqueduct from the upper pool in the fuller's field highway.
{36:3} Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household,
and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder came
out to him. {36:4} Rabshakeh said to them, "Now tell

{5:1} Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Messiah has made
us free, and don't be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. {5:2}
Behold, I, Paul, tell you that if you receive circumcision, Messiah
will profit you nothing. {5:3} Yes, I testify again to every man who
receives circumcision, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. {5:4}
You are alienated from Messiah, you who desire to be justified by the
law. You have fallen away from grace. {5:5} For we, through the
Spirit, by faith wait for the hope of righteousness. {5:6} For in
Messiah Yeshua neither circumcision amounts to anything, nor
uncircumcision, but faith working through love. {5:7} You were running
well! Who interfered with you that you should not obey the truth?
{5:8} This persuasion is not from him who calls you. {5:9} A little
yeast grows through the whole lump. {5:10} I have confidence toward
you in the Lord that you will think no other way. But he who troubles
you will bear his judgment, whoever he is.
{5:11} But I, brothers, if I still proclaim circumcision, why am I
still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been
removed. {5:12} I wish that those who disturb you would cut themselves
off. {5:13} For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only don't use
your freedom for gain to the flesh, but through love be servants to
one another. {5:14} For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in
this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."[1] {5:15} But if you
bite and devour one another, be careful that you don't consume one
another. {5:16} But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won't fulfill
the lust of the flesh. {5:17} For the flesh lusts against the Spirit,
and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one
another, that you may not do the things that you desire. {5:18} But if
you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. {5:19} Now the
works of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual
immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness, {5:20} idolatry, sorcery,
hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions,
heresies, {5:21} envyings, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things
like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you,
that those who practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of
God.
{5:22} But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, goodness, [2>]faith,[<2] {5:23} gentleness, and
self-control. Against such things there is no law. {5:24} Those who
belong to Messiah have crucified the flesh with its passions and
lusts. {5:25} If we live by the Spirit, let's also walk by the Spirit.
{5:26} Let's not become conceited, provoking one another, and envying
one another.

[HNV] Isaiah 37, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Isaiah, starting at chapter 37
{37:1} It happened, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he tore his
clothes, covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the LORD's
house. {37:2} He sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna
the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to
Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz. {37:3} They said to him, "Thus
says Hezekiah, 'This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of
rejection; for the children have come to the birth, and there is no
strength to bring forth. {37:4} It may be the LORD your God will hear
the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent
to defy the living God, and will rebuke the words which the LORD your
God has heard. Therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant that is
left.'" {37:5} So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
{37:6} Isaiah said to them, "Tell your master, 'Thus says the LORD,
"Don't be afraid of the words that you have heard, with which the
servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me. {37:7} Behold, I
will put a spirit in him and he will hear news, and will return to his
own land. I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land."'"
{37:8} So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring
against Libnah, for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
{37:9} He heard news concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, "He has
come out to fight against you." When he heard it, he sent messengers
to Hezekiah, saying, {37:10} "Thus you shall speak to Hezekiah king of
Judah, saying, 'Don't let your God in whom you trust deceive you,
saying, "Jerusalem won't be given into the hand of the king of
Assyria." {37:11} Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria
have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly. Shall you be
delivered? {37:12} Have the gods of the nations delivered them, which
my fathers have destroyed, Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and the children of
Eden who were in Telassar? {37:13} Where is the king of Hamath, and
the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena,
and Ivvah?'"
{37:14} Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers
and read it. Then Hezekiah went up to the LORD's house, and spread it
before the LORD. {37:15} Hezekiah prayed to the LORD, saying, {37:16}
"LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, who is enthroned among the
cherubim, you are the God, even you alone, of all the kingdoms of the
earth. You have made heaven and earth. {37:17} Turn your ear, LORD,
and hear. Open your eyes, LORD, and behold. Hear all of the words of
Sennacherib, who has sent to defy the living God. {37:18} Truly, LORD,
the kings of Assyria have destroyed all the countries and their land,
{37:19} and have cast their gods into the fire; for they were no gods,
but the work of men's hands, wood and stone; therefore they have
destroyed them. {37:20} Now therefore, LORD our God, save us from his
hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you are the
LORD, even you only."
{37:21} Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, "Thus
says the LORD, the God of Israel, 'Because you have prayed to me
against Sennacherib king of Assyria, {37:22} this is the word which
the LORD has spoken concerning him. The virgin daughter of Zion has
despised you and ridiculed you. The daughter of Jerusalem has shaken
her head at you. {37:23} Whom have you defied and blasphemed? Against
whom have you exalted your voice and lifted up your eyes on high?
Against the Holy One of Israel. {37:24} By your servants, have you
defied the Lord, and have said, "With the multitude of my chariots I
have come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of
Lebanon. I will cut down its tall cedars and its choice fir trees. I
will enter into its farthest height, the forest of its fruitful field.
{37:25} I have dug and drunk water, and with the sole of my feet I
will dry up all the rivers of Egypt." {37:26} Have you not heard how I
have done it long ago, and formed it in ancient times? Now I have
brought it to pass, that it should be yours to destroy fortified
cities, turning them into ruinous heaps. {37:27} Therefore their
inhabitants had little power. They were dismayed and confounded. They
were like the grass of the field, and like the green herb, like the
grass on the housetops, and like a field before its crop has grown.
{37:28} But I know your sitting down, your going out, your coming in,
and your raging against me. {37:29} Because of your raging against me,
and because your arrogance has come up into my ears, therefore will I
put my hook in your nose and my bridle in your lips, and I will turn
you back by the way by which you came. {37:30} This shall be the sign
to you. You will eat this year that which grows of itself, and in the
second year that which springs from the same; and in the third year

{6:1} Brothers, even if a man is caught in some fault, you who are
spiritual must restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking
to yourself so that you also aren't tempted. {6:2} Bear one another's
burdens, and so fulfill the Torah of Messiah. {6:3} For if a man
thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives
himself. {6:4} But let each man test his own work, and then he will
take pride in himself and not in his neighbor. {6:5} For each man will
bear his own burden. {6:6} But let him who is taught in the word share
all good things with him who teaches. {6:7} Don't be deceived. God is
not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. {6:8} For
he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But
he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.
{6:9} Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due
season, if we don't give up. {6:10} So then, as we have opportunity,
let's do what is good toward all men, and especially toward those who
are of the household of the faith.
{6:11} See with what large letters I write to you with my own hand.
{6:12} As many as desire to look good in the flesh, they compel you to
be circumcised; only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of
Messiah. {6:13} For even they who receive circumcision don't keep the
law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised, that they may
boast in your flesh. {6:14} But far be it from me to boast, except in
the cross of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, through which the world has
been crucified to me, and I to the world. {6:15} For in Messiah Yeshua
neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new
creation. {6:16} As many as walk by this rule, peace and mercy be on
them, and on God's Israel. {6:17} From now on, let no one cause me any
trouble, for I bear the marks of the Lord Yeshua branded on my body.
{6:18} The grace of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah be with your spirit,
brothers. Amen.

Isaiah, starting at chapter 40
{40:1} "Comfort, comfort my people," says your God. {40:2} "Speak
comfortably to Jerusalem; and call out to her that her warfare is
accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned, that she has received of
the LORD's hand double for all her sins."
{40:3} The voice of one who calls out,
"Prepare the way of the LORD in the wilderness!
Make a level highway in the desert for our God.
{40:4} Every valley shall be exalted,
and every mountain and hill shall be made low.
The uneven shall be made level,
and the rough places a plain.
{40:5} The glory of the LORD shall be revealed,
and all flesh shall see it together;
for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it." {40:6} The voice of one
saying, "Cry!"
One said, "What shall I cry?"
"All flesh is like grass,
and all its glory is like the flower of the field.
{40:7} The grass withers,
the flower fades,
because the LORD's breath blows on it.
Surely the people are like grass.
{40:8} The grass withers,
the flower fades;
but the word of our God stands forever."
{40:9} You who tell good news to Zion, go up on a high mountain.
You who tell good news to Jerusalem, lift up your voice with
strength.
Lift it up. Don't be afraid.
Say to the cities of Judah, "Behold, your God!"
{40:10} Behold, the Lord GOD will come as a mighty one,
and his arm will rule for him.
Behold, his reward is with him,
and his recompense before him.
{40:11} He will feed his flock like a shepherd.
He will gather the lambs in his arm,
and carry them in his bosom.
He will gently lead those who have their young.
{40:12} Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand,
and marked off the sky with his span,
and calculated the dust of the earth in a measure,
and weighed the mountains in scales,
and the hills in a balance?
{40:13} Who has directed the Spirit of the LORD,
or has taught him as his counselor?
{40:14} Who did he take counsel with,
and who instructed him,
and taught him in the path of justice,
and taught him knowledge,
and showed him the way of understanding?
{40:15} Behold, the nations are like a drop in a bucket,
and are regarded as a speck of dust on a balance.
Behold, he lifts up the islands like a very little thing.
{40:16} Lebanon is not sufficient to burn,
nor its animals sufficient for a burnt offering.
{40:17} All the nations are like nothing before him.
They are regarded by him as less than nothing, and vanity.
{40:18} To whom then will you liken God?
Or what likeness will you compare to him?
{40:19} A workman has cast an image,
and the goldsmith overlays it with gold,
and casts silver chains for it.
{40:20} He who is too impoverished for such an offering chooses a tree
that will not rot.
He seeks a skillful workman to set up an engraved image for him that
will not be moved.
{40:21} Haven't you known?
Haven't you heard, yet?
Haven't you been told from the beginning?
Haven't you understood from the foundations of the earth?
{40:22} It is he who sits above the circle of the earth,
and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers;
who stretches out the heavens like a curtain,
and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in;
{40:23} who brings princes to nothing;
who makes the judges of the earth like meaningless.
{40:24} They are planted scarcely.
They are sown scarcely.
Their stock has scarcely taken root in the ground.
He merely blows on them, and they wither,
and the whirlwind takes them away as stubble.
{40:25} "To whom then will you liken me?
Who is my equal?" says the Holy One.
{40:26} Lift up your eyes on high,
and see who has created these,
who brings out their army by number.
He calls them all by name.
by the greatness of his might,
and because he is strong in power,
Not one is lacking.
{40:27} Why do you say, Jacob,
and speak, Israel,
"My way is hidden from the LORD,
and the justice due me is disregarded by my God?"
{40:28} Haven't you known?
Haven't you heard?
The everlasting God, the LORD,
The Creator of the ends of the earth, doesn't faint.
He isn't weary.
His understanding is unsearchable.
{40:29} He gives power to the weak.
He increases the strength of him who has no might.
{40:30} Even the youths faint and get weary,
and the young men utterly fall;
{40:31} But those who wait for the LORD will renew their strength.
They will mount up with wings like eagles.
They will run, and not be weary.
They will walk, and not faint.
{41:1} "Keep silent before me, islands,
and let the peoples renew their strength.
Let them come near,
then let them speak.
Let's meet together for judgment.
{41:2} Who has raised up one from the east?
Who called him to his foot in righteousness?
He hands over nations to him,
and makes him rule over kings.

{1:3} Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah,
who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly

we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our
trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, {1:8} which he made
to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, {1:9} making known to
us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he
purposed in him {1:10} to an administration of the fullness of the
times, to sum up all things in Messiah, the things in the heavens, and
the things on the earth, in him; {1:11} in whom also we were assigned
an inheritance, having been foreordained according to the purpose of
him who works all things after the counsel of his will; {1:12} to the
end that we should be to the praise of his glory, we who had before
hoped in Messiah: {1:13} in whom you also, having heard the word of
the truth, the Good News of your salvation--in whom, having also
believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, {1:14} who
is a pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption of God's own
possession, to the praise of his glory. {1:15} For this cause I also,
having heard of the faith in the Lord Yeshua which is among you, and
the love which you have toward all the holy ones, {1:16} don't cease
to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers, {1:17}
that the God of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, the Father of glory, may
give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;
{1:18} having the eyes of your [1>]hearts[<1] enlightened, that you
may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the riches of
the glory of his inheritance in the holy ones, {1:19} and what is the
exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to
that working of the strength of his might {1:20} which he worked in
Messiah, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his
right hand in the heavenly places, {1:21} far above all rule, and
authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not
only in this age, but also in that which is to come. {1:22} He put all
things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all
things for the assembly, {1:23} which is his body, the fullness of him
who fills all in all.

[HNV] Isaiah 43, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Isaiah, starting at chapter 43
{43:1} But now thus says the LORD who created you, Jacob,
and he who formed you, Israel:
"Don't be afraid, for I have redeemed you.
I have called you by your name.
You are mine.
{43:2} When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
and through the rivers, they will not overflow you.
When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned,
and flame will not scorch you.
{43:3} For I am the LORD your God,
the Holy One of Israel,
your Savior.
I have given Egypt as your ransom,
Ethiopia and Seba in your place.
{43:4} Since you have been precious and honored in my sight,
and I have loved you;
therefore I will give people in your place,
and nations instead of your life.
{43:5} Don't be afraid; for I am with you.
I will bring your seed from the east,
and gather you from the west.
{43:6} I will tell the north, 'Give them up!'
and tell the south, 'Don't hold them back!
Bring my sons from far,
and my daughters from the ends of the earth--
{43:7} everyone who is called by my name,
and whom I have created for my glory,
whom I have formed,
yes, whom I have made.'"
{43:8} Bring out the blind people who have eyes,
and the deaf who have ears.
{43:9} Let all the nations be gathered together,
and let the peoples be assembled.
Who among them can declare this,
and show us former things?
Let them bring their witnesses, that they may be justified;
or let them hear, and say, "That is true."
{43:10} "You are my witnesses," says the LORD,
"With my servant whom I have chosen;
that you may know and believe me,
and understand that I am he.
Before me there was no God formed,
neither will there be after me.
{43:11} I myself am the LORD;
and besides me there is no savior.
{43:12} I have declared, I have saved, and I have shown;
and there was no strange god among you.
Therefore you are my witnesses,"
says the LORD, "and I am God.
{43:13} Yes, since the day was I am he;
and there is no one who can deliver out of my hand.
I will work, and who can hinder it?"
{43:14} Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
"For your sake, I have sent to Babylon, and I will bring all of them
down as fugitives, even the Kasdim, in the ships of their rejoicing.
{43:15} I am the LORD, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your
King."
{43:16} Thus says the LORD, who makes a way in the sea,
and a path in the mighty waters;
{43:17} who brings forth the chariot and horse,
the army and the mighty man
(they lie down together, they shall not rise;
they are extinct, they are quenched like a wick):
{43:18} "Don't remember the former things,
and don't consider the things of old.
{43:19} Behold, I will do a new thing.
It springs forth now.
Don't you know it?
I will even make a way in the wilderness,
and rivers in the desert.
{43:20} The animals of the field shall honor me,
the jackals and the ostriches;
because I give water in the wilderness and rivers in the desert,
to give drink to my people, my chosen,
{43:21} the people which I formed for myself,
that they might set forth my praise.
{43:22} Yet you have not called on me, Jacob;
but you have been weary of me, Israel.
{43:23} You have not brought me of your sheep for burnt offerings;
neither have you honored me with your sacrifices.
I have not burdened you with offerings,
nor wearied you with frankincense.
{43:24} You have bought me no sweet cane with money,
nor have you filled me with the fat of your sacrifices;
but you have burdened me with your sins.
You have wearied me with your iniquities.
{43:25} I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions for my own
sake;
and I will not remember your sins.
{43:26} Put me in remembrance.
Let us plead together.
Set forth your case,
that you may be justified.
{43:27} Your first father sinned,
and your teachers have transgressed against me.
{43:28} Therefore I will profane the princes of the sanctuary;
and I will make Jacob a curse,
and Israel an insult."
{44:1} Yet listen now, Jacob my servant,
and Israel, whom I have chosen.
{44:2} This is what the LORD who made you,
and formed you from the womb,
who will help you says:
"Don't be afraid, Jacob my servant;
and you, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.
{44:3} For I will pour water on him who is thirsty,
and streams on the dry ground.
I will pour my Spirit on your seed,
and my blessing on your offspring:
{44:4} and they will spring up among the grass,
as willows by the watercourses.
{44:5} One will say, 'I am the LORD's;'
and another will be called by the name of Jacob;
and another will write with his hand 'to the LORD,'
and honor the name of Israel."
{44:6} This is what the LORD, the King of Israel,
and his Redeemer, the LORD of Hosts, says:
"I am the first, and I am the last;
and be
[HNV] Paul's Letter to the Ephesians 2, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Paul's Letter to the Ephesians, Chapter 2
{2:1} You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and
sins, {2:2} in which you once walked according to the course of this
world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who
now works in the children of disobedience; {2:3} among whom we also
all once lived in the lust of our flesh, doing the desires of the
flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as
the rest. {2:4} But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with
which he loved us, {2:5} even when we were dead through our
trespasses, made us alive together with Messiah (by grace you have
been saved), {2:6} and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with
him in the heavenly places in Messiah Yeshua, {2:7} that in the ages
to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness
toward us in Messiah Yeshua; {2:8} for by grace you have been saved
through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
{2:9} not of works, that no one would boast. {2:10} For we are his
workmanship, created in Messiah Yeshua for good works, which God
prepared before that we would walk in them.
{2:11} Therefore remember that once you, the Gentiles in the flesh,
who are called "uncircumcision" by that which is called
"circumcision," (in the flesh, made by hands); {2:12} that you were at
that time separate from Messiah, alienated from the commonwealth of
Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no
hope and without God in the world. {2:13} But now in Messiah Yeshua
you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Messiah.
{2:14} For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the
middle wall of partition, {2:15} having abolished in the flesh the
hostility, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that he
might create in himself one new man of the two, making peace; {2:16}
and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross,
having killed the hostility thereby. {2:17} He came and preached peace
to you who were far off and to those who were near. {2:18} For through
him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father. {2:19} So
then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow
citizens with the holy ones, and of the household of God, {2:20} being
built on the foundation of the emissaries and prophets, Messiah Yeshua
himself being the chief cornerstone; {2:21} in whom the whole
building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord;
{2:22} in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in
the Spirit.

[HNV] Isaiah 46, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Isaiah, starting at chapter 46
{46:1} Bel bows down, Nebo stoops; their idols are on the animals, and
on the livestock: the things that you carried about are made a
load, a burden to the weary. {46:2} They stoop, they bow down
together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves
have gone into captivity.
{46:3} "Listen to me, house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house
of Israel, that have been borne from their birth, that have
been carried from the womb; {46:4} and even to old age I am he,
and even to gray hairs will I carry you. I have made, and I
will bear; yes, I will carry, and will deliver.
{46:5} "To whom will you liken me, and make me equal, and compare me,
that we may be like? {46:6} Some pour out gold from the bag,
and weigh silver in the balance. They hire a goldsmith, and he
makes it a god. They fall down--yes, they worship. {46:7} They
bear it on the shoulder, they carry it, and set it in its
place, and it stands, from its place it shall not move: yes,
one may cry to it, yet it can not answer, nor save him out of
his trouble.
{46:8} "Remember this, and show yourselves men; bring it again to
mind, you transgressors. {46:9} Remember the former things of
old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there
is none like me; {46:10} declaring the end from the beginning,
and from ancient times things that are not yet done; saying, My
counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure; {46:11}
calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man of my counsel
from a far country; yes, I have spoken, I will also bring it to
pass; I have purposed, I will also do it. {46:12} Listen to me,
you stout-hearted, who are far from righteousness: {46:13} I
bring near my righteousness, it shall not be far off, and my
salvation shall not wait; and I will place salvation in Zion
for Israel my glory.
{47:1} "Come down, and sit in the dust, virgin daughter of Babylon;
sit on the ground without a throne, daughter of the Kasdim: for
you shall no more be called tender and delicate. {47:2} Take
the millstones, and grind meal; remove your veil, strip off the
train, uncover the leg, pass through the rivers. {47:3} Your
nakedness shall be uncovered, yes, your shame shall be seen: I
will take vengeance, and will spare no man."
{47:4} Our Redeemer, the LORD of Hosts is his name, the Holy One of
Israel.
{47:5} "Sit in silence, and go into darkness, daughter of the Kasdim;
for you shall no more be called the mistress of kingdoms.
{47:6} I was angry with my people, I profaned my inheritance, and gave
them into your hand: you showed them no mercy; on the aged you
have very heavily laid your yoke. {47:7} You said, 'I shall be
a mistress forever;' so that you did not lay these things to
your heart, nor did you remember the latter end of it.
{47:8} "Now therefore hear this, you who are given to pleasures, who
sit securely, who say in your heart, 'I am, and there is none
else besides me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I
know the loss of children:' {47:9} but these two things shall
come to you in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and
widowhood; in their full measure shall they come on you, in the
multitude of your sorceries, and the great abundance of your
enchantments. {47:10} For you have trusted in your wickedness;
you have said, No one sees me; your wisdom and your knowledge,
it has perverted you, and you have said in your heart, I am,
and there is none else besides me. {47:11} Therefore evil will
come on you; you won't know when it dawns: and mischief will
fall on you; you will not be able to put it away: and
desolation shall come on you suddenly, which you don't know.
{47:12} "Stand now with your enchantments, and with the multitude of
your sorceries, in which you have labored from your youth; if
so be you shall be able to profit, if so be you may prevail.
{47:13} You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels: let
now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly
prognosticators, stand up, and save you from the things that
shall come on you. {47:14} Behold, they shall be as stubble;
the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves
from the power of the flame: it shall not be a coal to warm at,
nor a fire to sit before. {47:15} Thus shall the things be to
you in which you have labored: those who have trafficked with
you from your youth shall wander everyone to his quarter; there
shall be none to save you.
