Isaiah is not in PT1904.
1 Woe to you, O destroyer never destroyed, O traitor never betrayed! When you have finished destroying, you will be destroyed. When you have finished betraying, you will be betrayed.
·
2 O LORD, be gracious to us! We wait for You. Be our strength every morning and our salvation in time of trouble.
·
3 The peoples flee the thunder of Your voice; the nations scatter when You rise.
·
4 Your spoil, O nations, is gathered as by locusts; like a swarm of locusts men sweep over it.
·
5 The LORD is exalted, for He dwells on high; He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
·
6 He will be the sure foundation for your times, a storehouse of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of the LORD is Zion’s treasure.
·
7 Behold, their valiant ones cry aloud in the streets; the envoys of peace weep bitterly.
·
8 The highways are deserted; travel has ceased. The treaty has been broken, the witnesses are despised, and human life is disregarded.
·
9 The land mourns and languishes; Lebanon is ashamed and decayed. Sharon is like a desert; Bashan and Carmel shake off their leaves.
·
10 “Now I will arise,” says the LORD. “Now I will lift Myself up. Now I will be exalted.
·
11 You conceive chaff; you give birth to stubble. Your breath is a fire that will consume you.
·
12 The peoples will be burned to ashes, like thorns cut down and set ablaze.
·
13 You who are far off, hear what I have done; you who are near, acknowledge My might.”
·
14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling grips the ungodly: “Who of us can dwell with a consuming fire? Who of us can dwell with everlasting flames?”
·
15 He who walks righteously and speaks with sincerity, who refuses gain from extortion, whose hand never takes a bribe, who stops his ears against murderous plots and shuts his eyes tightly against evil—
·
16 he will dwell on the heights; the mountain fortress will be his refuge; his food will be provided and his water assured.
·
17 Your eyes will see the King in His beauty and behold a land that stretches afar.
·
18 Your mind will ponder the former terror: “Where is he who tallies? Where is he who weighs? Where is he who counts the towers?”
·
19 You will no longer see the insolent, a people whose speech is unintelligible, who stammer in a language you cannot understand.
·
20 Look upon Zion, the city of our appointed feasts. Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a peaceful pasture, a tent that does not wander; its tent pegs will not be pulled up, nor will any of its cords be broken.
·
21 But there the Majestic One, our LORD, will be for us a place of rivers and wide canals, where no galley with oars will row, and no majestic vessel will pass.
·
22 For the LORD is our Judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our King. It is He who will save us.
·
23 Your ropes are slack; they cannot secure the mast or spread the sail. Then an abundance of spoils will be divided, and even the lame will carry off plunder.
·
24 And no resident of Zion will say, “I am sick.” The people who dwell there will be forgiven of iniquity.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… them because He loves them, and will spare them: He will Himself set them free." And that He should Himself become very man, visible, when He should be the Word giving salvation, Isaiah again says: "Behold, city of Zion: thine eyes shall see our salvation." And that it was not a mere man who died for us, Isaiah says: "And …
