            wil cause thee to mount vpon the hie places of the there was no iudgement.  16  And when he sawe
            earth, and feede thee with the heritage of Iaakob that there was no man, hee wondered that none
            thy father: for the mouth of ye Lord hath spoken  woulde offer him selfe. Therefore his arme did
            it.                                              saue it, and his righteousnes it selfe did sustaine
                                                                17
                                  59                         it.  For he put on righteousnes, as an habergeon,
                                                             and an helmet of saluation vpon his head, and he
              1  Beholde, the Lordes hande is not shortened,  put on the garments of vengeance for clothing,
            that it can not saue: neither is his eare heauie,                                        18
            that it cannot heare.  2  But your iniquities haue  and was clad with zeale as a cloke.     As to

            separated betweene you and your God, and your    aduersaries with a recompence to his enemies:
            sinnes haue hidde his face from you, that he     he will fully repaire the ylands.  19  So shall they
            will not heare.  3  For your handes are defiled  feare the Name of the Lord from the West, and his

            mured iniquitie.  4  No man calleth for iustice:  Lord shall chase him away.  20  And the Redeemer
            no man contendeth for trueth: they trust in      shall come vnto Zion, and vnto them that turne
            vanitie, and speake vaine things: they conceiue from iniquitie in Iaakob, saith the Lord.  21 And I
            mischiefe, and bring foorth iniquitie.   5  They will make this my couenant with them, saith the
            hatch cockatrice egges, and weaue the spiders Lord. My Spirit that is vpon thee, and my wordes,
            webbe: he that eateth of their egges, dieth, and which I haue put in thy mouth, shall not depart
            that which is trode vpon, breaketh out into a ser- out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy
                  6
            pent. Their webbes shall be no garment, neither seede, nor out of the mouth of the seede of thy
            shall they couer themselues with their labours: seede, saith the Lord, from hencefoorth euen for
            for their workes are workes of iniquitie, and the euer.
            worke of crueltie is in their handes. Their feete

            runne to euill, and they make haste to shed inno-                       60
            cent blood: their thoughts are wicked thoughts:     1  Arise, O Ierusalem: be bright, for thy light

            desolation and destruction is in their paths. The is come, and the glorie of the Lord is risen vpon
            way of peace they knowe not, and there is none   thee.  2  For beholde, darkenesse shall couer the
            equitie in their goings: they haue made them earth, and grosse darkenesse the people: but the
            crooked paths: whosoeuer goeth therein, shall Lord shall arise vpon thee, and his glory shall be
            not knowe peace. Therefore is iudgement farre seene vpon thee.     3  And the Gentiles shall walke
                              9
            from vs, neither doeth iustice come neere vnto in thy light, and Kings at the brightnesse of thy
            vs: we waite for light, but loe, it is darkenesse: for rising vp.  4  Lift vp thine eyes round about, and
            brightnesse, but we walke in darkenesse.  10  Wee beholde: all these are gathered, and come to
            grope for the wall like the blinde, and we grope as thee: thy sonnes shall come from farre, and thy
            one without eyes: we stumble at the noone day daughters shalbe nourished at thy side.      5  Then
            as in the twilight: we are in solitarie places, as thou shalt see and shine: thine heart shall be
            dead men.  11 We roare all like beares, and mourne astonied and enlarged, because the multitude
            like dooues: wee looke for equitie, but there is of the sea shalbe conuerted vnto thee, and the
                                                                                                        6
            none: for health, but it is farre from vs.  12 For our riches of the Gentiles shall come vnto thee. The
            trespasses are many before thee, and our sinnes multitude of camels shall couer thee: and the
            testifie against vs: for our trespasses are with vs,  dromedaries of Midian and of Ephah: all they
            and we knowe our iniquities 13 In trespassing and  of Sheba shall come: they shall bring golde and
            lying against the Lord, and wee haue departed    incense, and shewe foorth the prayses of the
                                                                   7
            away from our God, and haue spoken of crueltie   Lord. All the sheepe of Kedar shall be gathered
            and rebellion, conceiuing and vttering out of the  vnto thee: the rammes of Nebaioth shall serue
            heart false matters.  14  Therefore iudgement is  thee: they shall come vp to bee accepted vpon
            turned backewarde, and iustice standeth farre    mine altar: and I will beautifie the house of my
            off: for trueth is fallen in the streete, and equitie  glorie.  8  Who are these that flee like a cloude,
            cannot enter.  15 Yea, trueth faileth, and hee that  and as the doues to their windowes?  9  Surely
            refraineth from euill, maketh himselfe a praye: the yles shall waite for mee, and the shippes
