• Isaiah 7:14

  Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin will conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

• Isaiah 53:1-12

  [1] Who has believed our message? and to whom has the arm of Yahweh been revealed? [2] For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he has no form nor comeliness; and when we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. [3] He was despised, and rejected by men; a man of suffering, and acquainted with disease: and as one from whom men hide their face he was despised; and we didn't respect him. [4] Surely he has borne our sickness, and carried our suffering; yet we considered him plagued, struck by God, and afflicted. [5] But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds we are healed. [6] All we like sheep have gone astray; everyone has turned to his own way; and Yahweh has laid on him the iniquity of us all. [7] He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he didn't open his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is mute, so he didn't open his mouth. [8] By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who [among them] considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living for the disobedience of my people to whom the stroke [was due]? [9] They made his grave with the wicked, and with a rich man in his death; although he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. [10] Yet it pleased Yahweh to bruise him; he has put him to grief: when you shall make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see [his] seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of Yahweh shall prosper in his hand. [11] He shall see of the travail of his soul, [and] shall be satisfied: by the knowledge of himself shall my righteous servant justify many; and he shall bear their iniquities. [12] Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he poured out his soul to death, and was numbered with the transgressors: yet he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

• Isaiah 6:1-13

  [1] In the year that king Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple. [2] Above him stood the seraphim. Each one had six wings. With two he covered his face. With two he covered his feet. With two he flew. [3] One called to another, and said, "Holy, holy, holy, is Yahweh of Hosts! The whole earth is full of his glory!" [4] The foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke. [5] Then I said, "Woe is me! For I am undone, because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for my eyes have seen the King, Yahweh of Hosts!" [6] Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar. [7] He touched my mouth with it, and said, "Behold, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away, and your sin forgiven." [8] I heard the Lord's voice, saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" Then I said, "Here I am. Send me!" [9] He said, "Go, and tell this people, 'You hear indeed, But don't understand; And you see indeed, But don't perceive.' [10] Make the heart of this people fat; Make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; Lest they see with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And turn again, and be healed." [11] Then I said, "Lord, how long?" He answered, "Until cities are waste without inhabitant, And houses without man, And the land becomes utterly waste, [12] And Yahweh has removed men far away, And the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land. [13] If there are yet a tenth in it, It also shall in turn be eaten up: As a terebinth, and as an oak, whose stock remains, when they are felled; So the holy seed is its stock."

• Hebrews 11:37

  They were stoned. They were sawn apart. They were tempted. They were slain with the sword. They went around in sheep skins and in goat skins; being destitute, afflicted, ill-treated

• Isaiah 33:24

  The inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people who dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.

• Isaiah 1:1-31

  [1] The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah. [2] Hear, heavens, And listen, earth; for Yahweh has spoken: I have nourished and brought up children, And they have rebelled against me. [3] The ox knows his owner, And the donkey his master's crib; But Israel doesn't know, My people don't consider. [4] Ah sinful nation, A people loaded with iniquity, A seed of evil-doers, Children who deal corruptly! They have forsaken Yahweh. They have despised the Holy One of Israel. They are estranged and backward. [5] Why should you be beaten more, That you revolt more and more? The whole head is sick, And the whole heart faint. [6] From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it: Wounds, welts, and open sores. They haven't been closed, neither bandaged, neither soothed with oil. [7] Your country is desolate. Your cities are burned with fire. Strangers devour your land in your presence, And it is desolate, As overthrown by strangers. [8] The daughter of Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard, Like a hut in a field of melons, Like a besieged city. [9] Unless Yahweh of hosts had left to us a very small remnant, We would have been as Sodom; We would have been like Gomorrah. [10] Hear the word of Yahweh, you rulers of Sodom! Listen to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah! [11] "What are the multitude of your sacrifices to me?," says Yahweh. "I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams, And the fat of fed animals. I don't delight in the blood of bulls, Or of lambs, Or of male goats. [12] When you come to appear before me, Who has required this at your hand, to trample my courts? [13] Bring no more vain offerings. Incense is an abomination to me; New moons, Sabbaths, and convocations: I can't bear with evil assemblies. [14] My soul hates your New Moons and your appointed feasts; They are a burden to me. I am weary of bearing them. [15] When you spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; Yes, when you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood. [16] Wash yourselves, make yourself clean. Put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes; Cease to do evil. [17] Learn to do well. Seek justice, Relieve the oppressed, Judge the fatherless, Plead for the widow." [18] "Come now, and let us reason together," says Yahweh: "Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. [19] If you are willing and obedient, You shall eat the good of the land; [20] But if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured with the sword; For the mouth of Yahweh has spoken it." [21] How the faithful city has become a prostitute! She was full of justice; righteousness lodged in her, But now murderers. [22] Your silver has become dross, Your wine mixed with water. [23] Your princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves. Everyone loves bribes, and follows after rewards. They don't judge the fatherless, Neither does the cause of the widow come to them. [24] Therefore the Lord, Yahweh of Hosts, The Mighty One of Israel, says: "Ah, I will get relief from my adversaries, And avenge myself of my enemies; [25] And I will turn my hand on you, Thoroughly purge away your dross, And will take away all your tin. [26] I will restore your judges as at the first, And your counselors as at the beginning. Afterward you shall be called 'The city of righteousness, A faithful town.' [27] Zion shall be redeemed with justice, And her converts with righteousness. [28] But the destruction of transgressors and sinners shall be together, And those who forsake Yahweh shall be consumed. [29] For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which you have desired, And you shall be confounded for the gardens that you have chosen. [30] For you shall be as an oak whose leaf fades, And as a garden that has no water. [31] The strong will be like tinder, And his work like a spark. They will both burn together, And no one will quench them."

• Isaiah 6:1

• Isaiah 53:2-5

  [2] For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he has no form nor comeliness; and when we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. [3] He was despised, and rejected by men; a man of suffering, and acquainted with disease: and as one from whom men hide their face he was despised; and we didn't respect him. [4] Surely he has borne our sickness, and carried our suffering; yet we considered him plagued, struck by God, and afflicted. [5] But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds we are healed.

• Isaiah 12:1-6

  [1] In that day you will say, "I will give thanks to you, Yahweh; for though you were angry with me, your anger has turned away and you comfort me. [2] Behold, God is my salvation. I will trust, and will not be afraid; for Yah, Yahweh, is my strength and song; and he has become my salvation." [3] Therefore with joy you shall draw water out of the wells of salvation. [4] In that day you will say, "Give thanks to Yahweh! Call on his name. Declare his doings among the peoples. Proclaim that his name is exalted! [5] Sing to Yahweh, for he has done excellent things! Let this be known in all the earth! [6] Cry aloud and shout, you inhabitant of Zion; for great in the midst of you is the Holy One of Israel!"
