“The people did not stop sinning. They did not come to the Lord All-Powerful for help. So the Lord cut off Israel’s head and tail. He took away the branch and the stalk in one day.”
Isaiah 9:13-14 ERV
https://www.bible.com/406/isa.9.13-14.erv
“God, you will make the nation grow, and you will make the people happy. They will rejoice in your presence as they do at harvest time. It will be like the joy when people take their share of things they have won in war. That will happen because you will lift the heavy yoke off their shoulders and take away their heavy burden. You will take away the rod that the enemy used to punish your people, as you did when you defeated Midian.
This will happen when the special child is born. God will give us a son who will be responsible for leading the people. His name will be “Wonderful Counselor, Powerful God, Father Who Lives Forever, Prince of Peace.” His power will continue to grow, and there will be peace without end. This will establish him as the king sitting on David’s throne and ruling his kingdom. He will rule with goodness and justice forever and ever. The strong love that the Lord All-Powerful has for his people will make this happen!”
Isaiah 9:3-4, 6-7 ERV
https://www.bible.com/406/isa.9.1-7.erv
“All you nations, prepare for war. You will be defeated. Listen, all you faraway countries! Prepare for battle. You will be defeated. Make your plans for the fight. Your plans will be defeated. Give orders to your armies, but your orders will be useless, because God is with us!”
Isaiah 8:9-10 ERV
https://www.bible.com/406/isa.8.9-10.erv
“The Lord spoke to me with his great power and warned me not to be like these people. He said, “Don’t think there is a plan against you just because the people say there is. Don’t be afraid of what they fear. Don’t let them frighten you!”
The Lord All-Powerful is the one you should fear. He is the one you should respect. He is the one who should frighten you. If you people would respect him, he would be a safe place for you. But you don’t respect him, so he is like a stone that you stumble over. He is a rock that makes both families of Israel fall. He has become a trap that all the people of Jerusalem will fall into.”
Isaiah 8:11-14 ERV
https://www.bible.com/406/isa.8.11-14.erv
“Then the Lord spoke to Ahaz again and said, “Ask for a sign from the Lord your God to prove to yourself that this is true. You can ask for any sign you want. The sign can come from a place as deep as Sheol or as high as the skies. ” But Ahaz said, “I will not ask for a sign as proof. I will not test the Lord.”
Then Isaiah said, “Family of David, listen very carefully! Is it not enough that you would test the patience of humans? Will you now test the patience of my God? But the Lord will still show you this sign: The young woman is pregnant and will give birth to a son. She will name him Immanuel. He will eat milk curds and honey as he learns to choose good and refuse evil. But before he is old enough to make that choice, the land of the two kings you fear will be empty.”
Isaiah 7:10-16 ERV
https://www.bible.com/406/isa.7.10-16.erv
“Then I heard the Lord’s voice, saying, “Who can I send? Who will go for us?” So I said, “Here I am. Send me!””
Isaiah 6:8 ERV
https://www.bible.com/406/isa.6.8.erv
“In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a very high and wonderful throne. His long robe filled the Temple.
I was frightened and said, “Oh, no! I will be destroyed. I am not pure enough to speak to God, and I live among people who are not pure enough to speak to him. But I have seen the King, the Lord All-Powerful.”
There was a fire on the altar. One of the Seraph angels used a pair of tongs to take a hot coal from the fire. Then the angel flew to me with it in his hand. Then he touched my mouth with the hot coal and said, “When this hot coal touched your lips, your guilt was taken away, and your sins were erased. ””
Isaiah 6:1, 5-7 ERV
https://www.bible.com/406/isa.6.1,5-7.erv
“Look at those people! They say good is bad and bad is good. They think light is dark and dark is light. They think sour is sweet and sweet is sour.
So bad things will happen to them. Their descendants will be destroyed completely, just as fire burns straw and leaves. Their descendants will be like plants with rotten roots, whose flowers have all blown away like dust in the wind.
Those people refused to obey the teachings of the Lord All-Powerful. They hated the message from the Holy One of Israel. So the Lord became angry with his people, and he raised his hand to punish them. Even the mountains shook with fear. Dead bodies were left in the streets like garbage. And he is not finished yet. He is still angry, and his arm is raised to continue punishing his people.”
Isaiah 5:20, 24-25 ERV
https://www.bible.com/406/isa.5.20,24-25.erv
“At that time the Lord ’S plant will be very beautiful and glorious. The people in Israel who survived will be very proud of what the land grows. And all those who are left in Zion and Jerusalem will be called holy. Their names were on the list of people in Jerusalem who were allowed to live. The Lord will wash away the filth from the daughters of Zion. He will wash away the blood from Jerusalem. With a spirit of judgment that burns like fire, he will make everything pure.
Then the Lord will create a cloud of smoke in the day and a bright flame of fire at night over every building and over every meeting of the people on the mountain of Zion. And there will be a covering over everyone for protection. It will be a shelter to protect the people from the heat of the sun and from all kinds of storms and rain.”
Isaiah 4:2-6 ERV
https://www.bible.com/406/isa.4.2-6.erv
“Tell the good people who do what is right that good things will happen to them. They will receive a reward for what they do. But it will be very bad for wicked people, because they, too, will get what they deserve. They will get what they did to others.”
Isaiah 3:10-11 ERV
https://www.bible.com/406/isa.3.10-11.erv
“Stop trusting other people to save you. Do not think too highly of them; they are only humans who have not stopped breathing yet.”
Isaiah 2:22 ERV
https://www.bible.com/406/isa.2.22.erv
““Wash yourselves and make yourselves clean. Stop doing the evil things I see you do. Stop doing wrong. Learn to do good. Treat people fairly. Punish those who hurt others. Speak up for the widows and orphans. Argue their cases for them in court.”
Isaiah 1:16-17 ERV
https://www.bible.com/406/isa.1.16-17.erv
“But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.”

“Surely it was for my benefit that I suffered such anguish. In your love you kept me from the pit of destruction; you have put all my sins behind your back.”
Isaiah 38:17 NIV
https://www.bible.com/111/isa.38.17.niv
“Heaven and earth, listen! This is what the Lord says: “I raised my children and helped them grow up, but they have turned against me. A bull knows its master, and a donkey knows where its owner feeds it. But Israel does not know me. My people do not understand.”
Oh, what a sinful nation! Their guilt is like a heavy weight that they must carry. They are evil, destructive children. They left the Lord and insulted the Holy One of Israel. They turned away and treated him like a stranger. What good will it do to keep punishing you? You will continue to rebel. Your whole head and heart are already sick and aching. From the bottom of your feet to the top of your head, every part of your body has wounds, cuts, and open sores. You have not taken care of them. Your wounds have not been cleaned and bandaged.
“I, the Lord, am the one speaking to you. Come, let’s discuss this. Even if your sins are as dark as red dye, that stain can be removed and you will be as pure as wool that is as white as snow.”
Isaiah 1:2-6, 18 ERV
https://www.bible.com/406/isa.1.2-6,18.erv
“For no reason, my enemies hunted me like a bird. They threw me alive into a pit and then threw stones at me. Water came up over my head. I said to myself, “I am finished.”
Lord, I called your name from the bottom of the pit. You heard my voice. You didn’t close your ears. You didn’t refuse to rescue me. You came to me on the day that I called out to you. You said to me, “Don’t be afraid.” You defended me and brought me back to life.”
Lamentations 3:52-58 ERV

Lamentations 3:31-32 ERV
https://www.bible.com/406/lam.3.31-32.erv
“I remember well all my troubles, and I am very sad. But then I think about this, and I have hope: We are still alive because the Lord ’S faithful love never ends. Every morning he shows it in new ways! You are so very true and loyal! I say to myself, “The Lord is my God, and I trust him.””
Lamentations 3:20-24 ERV
https://www.bible.com/406/lam.3.20-24.erv
“Say to him, ‘Be careful, keep calm and don’t be afraid. Do not lose heart because of these two smoldering stubs of firewood—because of the fierce anger of Rezin and Aram and of the son of Remaliah. Aram, Ephraim and Remaliah’s son have plotted your ruin, saying, “Let us invade Judah; let us tear it apart and divide it among ourselves, and make the son of Tabeel king over it.”
Yet this is what the Sovereign Lord says: “ ‘It will not take place, it will not happen, for the head of Aram is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is only Rezin. Within sixty-five years Ephraim will be too shattered to be a people. The head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is only Remaliah’s son. If you do not stand firm in your faith, you will not stand at all.’ ””

“Jacob, the Lord created you. Israel, he made you, and now he says, “Don’t be afraid. I saved you. I named you. You are mine. When you have troubles, I am with you. When you cross rivers, you will not be hurt. When you walk through fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not hurt you.
That’s because I, the Lord, am your God. I, the Holy One of Israel, am your Savior. I gave Egypt to pay for you. I gave Ethiopia and Seba to make you mine. You are precious to me, and I have given you a special place of honor. I love you. That’s why I am willing to trade others, to give up whole nations, to save your life.”
Isaiah 43:1-4 ERV
https://www.bible.com/406/isa.43.1-4.erv
““Rain and snow fall from the sky and don’t return until they have watered the ground. Then the ground causes the plants to sprout and grow, and they produce seeds for the farmer and food for people to eat. In the same way, my words leave my mouth, and they don’t come back without results. My words make the things happen that I want to happen. They succeed in doing what I send them to do.”
Isaiah 55:10-11 ERV
https://www.bible.com/406/isa.55.10-11.erv
“So you should look for the Lord before it is too late. You should call to him now, while he is near. Evil people should stop living evil lives. They should stop thinking bad thoughts. They should come to the Lord again, and he will comfort them. They should come to our God because he will freely forgive them.”
Isaiah 55:6-7 ERV
https://www.bible.com/406/isa.55.6-7.erv
““All you people who are thirsty, come! Here is water for you to drink. Don’t worry if you have no money. Come, eat and drink until you are full! You don’t need money. The milk and wine are free. Why waste your money on something that is not real food? Why should you work for something that does not really satisfy you?
Listen closely to me and you will eat what is good. You will enjoy the food that satisfies your soul. Listen closely to what I say. Listen to me so that you will live. I will make an agreement with you that will last forever. It will be an agreement you can trust, like the one I made with David— a promise to love him and be loyal to him forever.”
Isaiah 55:1-3 ERV
https://www.bible.com/406/isa.55.1-3.erv
“In righteousness you will be established: Tyranny will be far from you; you will have nothing to fear. Terror will be far removed; it will not come near you. If anyone does attack you, it will not be my doing; whoever attacks you will surrender to you.
“See, it is I who created the blacksmith who fans the coals into flame and forges a weapon fit for its work. And it is I who have created the destroyer to wreak havoc; no weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and this is their vindication from me,” declares the Lord.”
Isaiah 54:14-17 NIV
https://www.bible.com/111/isa.54.14-17.niv
““Remember, in Noah’s time I punished the world with the flood. But I made a promise to Noah that I would never again destroy the world with water. In the same way, I promise that I will never again be angry with you and say bad things to you. “The mountains may disappear, and the hills may become dust, but my faithful love will never leave you. I will make peace with you, and it will never end.” The Lord who loves you said this.”

The Holy One of Israel is your Protector, and he is the God of all the earth!”
Isaiah 54:4-5 ERV
https://www.bible.com/406/isa.54.4-5.erv
“But the Lord was pleased with this humble servant who suffered such pain. Even after giving himself as an offering for sin, he will see his descendants and enjoy a long life. He will succeed in doing what the Lord wanted. After his suffering he will see the light, and he will be satisfied with what he experienced.
The Lord says, “My servant, who always does what is right, will make his people right with me; he will take away their sins. For this reason, I will treat him as one of my great people. I will give him the rewards of one who wins in battle, and he will share them with his powerful ones. I will do this because he gave his life for the people. He was considered a criminal, but the truth is, he carried away the sins of many. Now he will stand before me and speak for those who have sinned.””
Isaiah 53:10-12 ERV
https://www.bible.com/406/isa.53.10-12.erv
“He was treated badly, but he never protested. He said nothing, like a lamb being led away to be killed. He was like a sheep that makes no sound as its wool is being cut off. He never opened his mouth to defend himself. He was taken away by force and judged unfairly. The people of his time did not even notice that he was killed. But he was put to death for the sins of his people. He had done no wrong to anyone. He had never even told a lie. But he was buried among the wicked. His tomb was with the rich.”
Isaiah 53:7-9 ERV
https://www.bible.com/406/isa.53.7-9.erv
“He was always close to the Lord. He grew up like a young plant, like a root growing in dry ground. There was nothing special or impressive about the way he looked, nothing we could see that would cause us to like him. People made fun of him, and even his friends left him. He was a man who suffered a lot of pain and sickness.
We treated him like someone of no importance, like someone people will not even look at but turn away from in disgust. The fact is, it was our suffering he took on himself; he bore our pain. But we thought that God was punishing him, that God was beating him for something he did. But he was being punished for what we did. He was crushed because of our guilt. He took the punishment we deserved, and this brought us peace. We were healed because of his pain.”
Isaiah 53:2-5 ERV
https://www.bible.com/406/isa.53.2-5.erv
“God, be merciful to me. Be kind because my soul trusts in you. I have come to you for protection, while the trouble passes. I pray to God Most High for help, and he takes care of me completely! From heaven he helps me and saves me. He will punish the one who attacks me. Selah God will remain loyal to me and send his love to protect me.”
