Commentary on Isaiah Volume 1 John Calvin
JOHN CALVIN
he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his banks.
7. Ideo, ecce Dominus adducit super eos aquas fluvii, violentas et magnas: nempe Regem Assyriae et omne robur ejus; ascendetque super omnes rivos, et transibit super omnes ripas ejus.
8. And he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and go over; he shall reach even to the neck: and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.
8. Et trajiciens in Iudam inundabit, et transibit, pertinget usque ad collum. Et implebit extensio alarum ejus latitudinem terrae tuae, O Immanuel.
9. Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces.
9. Consociate vos populi, et confringemini; auribus percipite quotquot e longinqua terra estis. Accingite vos, et confringemini; accingite, inquam, vos, et confringemini.
10. Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us.
10. Consultate consilium, et dissolvetur; decernite decretum, et non stabit; quia nobiscum Deus. (Hebraice, Immanuel.)
11. For the Lord spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me, that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying,
11. Nam sic dixit mihi Iehova, tanquam apprehensione (vel, roboratione) manus; et erudivit me, ne irem per viam populi hujus, dicens:
12. Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.
12. Ne dicatis, Conspiratio, in quibuscunque populus iste dicit, Conspiratio, neque timorem eorum timueritis, aut formidaveritis.
13. Sanctify the Lord of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
13. Iehovam exercituum ipsum sanctificate; et sit ipse timor vester; et idem sit pavor vester.
14. And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling, and for a rock of offence, to both the houses of Israel; for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
14. Tum ipse erit in sanctuarium; in lapidem offendiculi; et in petram ruinae, duabus domibus Israel; in laqueum, et tendiculum incolae Ierusalem.
15. And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.
15. Et impingent multi inter eos; ideoque corruent, et conterentur, irretientur, et capientur.
16. Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples. 16. Liga contestationem; obsigna legem inter discipulos meos. 17. And I will wait upon the Lord, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
