Isaiah 6:1-7:6, 9:5-6


1 In the year that King Uzziah died, then I saw YAHUVEH sitting on a throne, high and lifted up. And His train filled the temple.
2 Above it stood the seraphim2. Each one had six wings; with two he covered his face; and with two he covered his feet; and with two he flew.
3 And one cried to the other and said, Holy, holy, holy is YAHUVEH of Hosts; all the earth is full of His glory!
4 And the doorposts shook from the voice of the one who cried; and the house was filled with smoke.
5 Then I said, Woe is me! For I am cut off; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I live amongst a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, YAHUVEH of Hosts.
6 Then one of the seraphs flew to me with a live coal in his hand, snatched with tongs from the altar.
7 And he touched it on my mouth, and said, See, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away, and your sin is covered1.
8 And I heard the voice of YAHUVEH, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us? Then I said, Here I am. Send me!
9 And He said, Go and say to this people, Hearing you hear, but do not understand; and seeing you see, but do not know.
10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make his ears heavy, and shut his eyes, that he not see with his eyes, and hear with his ears, and understand with his heart, and turn back, and one heals him. (Math 13:13-15)
11 Then I said, Until when, O YAHUVEH? And He said, Until cities lie desolate without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land is laid waste, a desolation;
12 and until YAHUVEH has sent mankind far away, and the desolation in the midst of the land is great.
13 But yet a tenth2 shall be in it, and it shall return and be burned like the terebinth and like the oak that in being felled yet has its stump, the holy seed is its stump.

Chapter 7;


1 And it happened in the days of Ahaz: the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to war against it, but were not able to do battle against it.
2 And the house of David was told, saying, Syria is allied with Ephraim, and his heart and the heart of his people shook, as the trees of the forest shake from the wind.
3 And YAHUVEH said to Isaiah, Go out to meet Ahaz, you and your son Shear-Jashub, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, to the highway of the Fuller’s Field.
4 And say to him, Be on guard and be calm. Do not fear nor be timid of heart because of the two tails of these smoking firebrands, because of the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.
5 Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah have plotted evil against you, saying,
6 Let us go up against Judah and make her to dread, and break her for ourselves, and set a king in her midst, the son of Tabeal

Chapter 9;


5 For every boot of the trampler is with shaking, and a coat rolled in blood shall be burning fuel for the fire.
6 For unto us a Child is born; to us a Son is given; and the government is on His shoulder; and His name is called Wonderful Counselor, The Mighty El, The Prince of Peace, The one who Fathered Everlasting life

Matthew 19:16-26


16 And, behold, coming near, one said to Him, Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?
17 And He said to him, Why do you call Me good? No one is good except One, YAHUVEH! But if you desire to enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 He said to Him, Which? And YAHUSHUA said, “You shall not commit murder, nor commit adultery, nor steal, nor give false witness,
19 honor your father and your mother,” and, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” (Ex. 20:12-16; Lev. 19:18; Deut. 5:16-20)
20 The young man said to Him, All these things I have kept from my youth. What do I still lack?
21 YAHUSHUA said to him, If you desire to be perfect, go sell your property and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in Heaven; and come, follow Me.
22 But having heard the Word, being grieved, the young man went away, for he had many possessions.
23 And YAHUSHUA said to His disciples, Truly I say to you that a rich man will with great difficulty enter into the kingdom of Heaven.
24 And again I say to you, It is easier for a heavy rope1 to pass through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of YAHUVEH.
25 And His disciples were exceedingly astonished when they heard this, saying, Who then is able to gain eternal life?
26 But having looked at them, YAHUSHUA said to them, With men this is impossible, but with YAHUVEH all things are possible.
