Commentary on Isaiah Volume 2 John Calvin (continued)
COMMENTARY ON ISAIAH
6. Et erit stabilitas temporum tuorum fortitudo, salutes, sapientia, et scientia; timor Jehovae ipse thesaurus ejus.
7. Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.
7. Ecce nuncii eorum vociferabuntur foris; legati pacis amare flebunt. 8. The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth; he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man.
8. Desolatae sunt viae, cessavit viator; irritum fecit foedus, sprevit civitates, nihil reputavit hominem.
9. The earth mourneth and languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed and hewn down: Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits.
9. Luxit, emarcuit terra; pudefactus est Libanus et succisus; facta est Saron instar deserti; excussus est Basan et Carmelus.
10. Now will I rise, saith the LORD; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.
10. Nunc surgam, dicit Jehova; nunc exaltabor, nunc extollar. 11. Ye shall conceive chaff; ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath, as fire, shall devour you.
11. Concipietis quisquilias, parietis stipulas; spiritus vestri ignis devorabit vos.
12. And the people shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.
12. Et erunt populi combustiones calcis, (vel, calx combusta,) tanquam spinae abscissae igni exurentur.
13. Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might.
13. Andite, qui longe abestis, quid fecerim; cognoscite, vicini, potentiam meam.
14. The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
14. Expaverunt in Sion impii; terror apprehendit hypocritas (vel, sceleratos.) Quis ex nobis (vel, pro nobis) habitabit cam igne devorante? Quis ex nobis habitabit cum ardoribus aeternis?
15. He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;
15. Ambulans injustitiis, loquens recta, aspernars lucrum ex vi et calumnia, excutiens manus suas a susceptione muneris; obturans aurem suam, ne audiat sanguines; comprimens oculos suos, ne videat malum.
16. He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.
