33:19 babbling tongue was unintelligible
3:12 babes subject them; women wield
13:1 oracle concerning Babylon, which
13:19 children. And Babylon, the most
14:4 taunt against the king of Babylon,
21:2 sighing that Babylon has caused I
21:9 fallen; Babylon has fallen. All her
39:1 of Babylon, sent letters and gifts to
39:3 to me from Babylon. And Isaiah
39:6 carried away to Babylon. Nothing
39:7 palace of the king of Babylon. But
43:14 launch an attack on Babylon and
47:1 Daughter of Babylon; squat on the
48:14 shall perform his will in Babylon;
48:20 out of Babylon, flee from Chaldea
52:11 as you leave Babylon. Come out
13:22 near; Babylon’s days shall not be
14:22 I will cut off Babylon’s name and
19:22 it: they will turn back to Jehovah,
21:12 so by repenting and coming back
24:20 sway back and forth like a shanty
36:17 until I come back and take you to
37:20 and turn you back by the way you
50:5 and I rebel not, nor back away: I
50:6 my back to smiters, my cheeks to
51:23 so that you made your back as the
54:2 Do not hold back; lengthen your
54:6 the earth. Jehovah calls you back
55:12 joy and be led back in peace; the
59:14 is compelled to back away, and
60:9 lead, to bring back your children
66:20 shall bring back all your brethren
59:13 backing away from following our
30:6 on the backs of young asses, their
29:17 be considered backwoods? In that
44:15 to bake bread, of that they create
44:19 the fire; I also baked bread in its
39:1 son of Baladan, king of Babylon,
38:10 gates, deprived of the balance of
40:12 in scales, hills in a balance? Who
40:15 more than dust on a balance; the
15:2 shall be bald, every beard cut off
3:17 the women of Zion with baldness
3:24 instead of the coiffure, baldness,
11:5 will be as a band about his waist,
37:32 Mount Zion a band of survivors.
21:13 bands of Dedanites, who sojourn
52:2 from the bands around your neck
58:9 if you will banish servitude from
8:22 and thus are banished into outer
49:21 I was exiled, banished; by whom
27:8 them by utterly banishing them,
8:7 all his banks. He will sweep into
5:12 at their banquets, but they regard
27:10 bare the young branches of trees.
32:11 daughters! Strip yourselves bare;
47:2 grind flour; unveil, disrobe, bare
21:15 bared sword, the drawn bow and
52:10 * bared his holy arm in the eyes of
20:2 had done so, naked and barefoot.
20:3 barefoot for three years as a sign
20:4 naked and barefoot, with buttocks
57:8 And you bargain with those with
56:10 watchdogs unable to bark, lolling
28:25 barley and plant buckwheat in its
13:2 barren mountain; sound the voice
41:18 barren hill country, springs in the
49:9 find pasture on all barren heights;
49:21 while I was bereaved and barren?
54:1 O barren woman who did not give
56:3 eunuch say, I am but a barren tree.
26:1 as walls and barricades! Open the
45:2 doors and cut through iron bars. I
2:13 all the oaks of Bashan, against all
33:9 dry waste, Bashan and Carmel are
5:10 but one bath, and a homer of seed
57:9 nakedness. You bathe with oils for
2:20 and to the bats their idols of silver
10:34 be battered down with the force of
24:12 the gates lie battered to ruin. Then
22:5 a day of battering down walls, and
9:5 in battle and tunics rolled in blood
22:2 in battle! Your chiefs, altogether in

11:7 and bear browse, their young shall
23:4 no longer labor and bear children!

46:4 made you, and I who bear you up;
46:7 to and worship. They bear it aloft,
52:11 be pure, you who bear Jehovah’s
65:23 bear children doomed for calamity.
7:20 cut off even your beard. In that day
15:2 bald, every beard cut off. They will
50:6 to those who plucked out the beard
18:5 the fruit-bearing twigs with knives
53:11 by bearing their iniquities, shall my
60:6 Sheba will come, bearing gold and
59:11 dead. We grumble like bears, all of
1:11 of rams and fat of fatted beasts; the
18:6 beasts of the land: the birds of prey
18:6 and the beasts of the land all winter
30:6 An oracle concerning the Beasts of
30:6 lions and the roaring king of beasts,
35:9 there, nor shall wild beasts intrude.
40:16 a fire, nor all its beasts be adequate
43:20 beasts do me honor, the jackals and
46:1 upon beasts and cattle; the images
56:9 All you wild beasts, you animals of
2:4 many peoples. They will beat their
25:4 the blasts of tyrants beat down like
32:12 sackcloth around your waists. Beat
17:6 an olive tree is beaten, having two
24:13 an olive tree is beaten, or as grapes
28:27 cumin: fennel is beaten out with a

4:2 shall be beautiful and glorious, and
60:13 to beautify the site of my sanctuary
3:24 for in place of beauty there shall be

44:13 likeness, resembling man’s beauty,
13:2 them! Beckon them with the hand
14:11 a bed of maggots; you are covered
57:7 prominent your bed, and there you
57:8 others than me: mounting your bed
58:5 one’s bed of sackcloth and ashes?
7:19 with one accord in the river beds of
19:5 lakes shall ebb away as stream beds
57:2 rest in their beds. As for you, come
15:8 echo as far as Beer Elim. Although
7:18 the bees in the land of Assyria. And
9:8 Jacob, and it shall befall Israel. And
47:11 disaster shall befall you from which
51:19 Twofold calamity has befallen you:
41:26 Who announced this beforehand, so
48:3 past I made known long beforehand
48:5 them beforehand; I announced them
59:4 beget wickedness. They hatch vipers’
1:26 your counsellors as in the beginning
46:10 foretell the end from the beginning,
44:12 drink water, he begins to grow faint
45:10 Father, What have you begotten? or
1:17 on behalf of the widow. Come now
8:19 behalf of the living for doctrine and
34:8 year of retribution on behalf of Zion
37:4 prayer on behalf of the remnant that
64:4 on behalf of those who wait for him
36:4 you behave with such confidence?
1:1 Amoz which he beheld concerning
22:3 left behind are caught easily before
26:20 and shut the doors behind you; hide
28:15 hiding behind falsehoods, to have
30:21 hear words from behind you saying
38:17 my sins behind you, [restoring and
45:14 shall walk behind you in chains and
52:12 you, the God of Israel behind you.
57:8 Behind doors and facades you have
30:27 their open wound. Behold, Jehovah
33:17 Your eyes shall behold the King in

38:11 I shall not now behold Man among
40:9 to the cities of Judah: Behold your

63:15 celestial abode, and behold! Where
66:18 may approach and behold my glory
46:1 Bel slumps down, Nebo is stooped
29:3 you round about, and beleaguer you
7:9 you will not believe it, because you

43:10 believe me, and perceive that I was
53:1 believed our revelation? On whose
37:29 snortings and bellowings against me
49:1 me before I was in the belly; before
15:7 personal belongings, they will carry
5:1 rain. Let me sing for my Beloved a
5:1 My Beloved had a vineyard on the
41:8 of Abraham my beloved friend, you
5:27 waist-belts come not loose nor their
19:8 in canals bemoan themselves; those
14:11 your lyres. Beneath you is a bed of

51:6 the earth beneath: the heavens shall
30:5 shall be of no help or benefit, but a
44:10 idol that cannot benefit them? Their
30:2 bent on going down to Egypt—but
3:26 Her gateways shall lie bereaved and
47:8 be widowed or bereaved of children
49:21 bore me these while I was bereaved
47:9 Bereavement and widowhood shall
49:20 time of your bereavement shall yet
17:6 beaten, having two or three berries
38:3 prayed to Jehovah: I beseech you to
47:10 I exist, and there is none besides me
64:4 has any eye seen a God besides you
5:13 best men die of famine, their masses
40:6 at its best like a blossom of the field
51:9 O arm of Jehovah! Bestir yourself,
61:3 who mourn in Zion, bestowing upon
16:3 Shelter those dispossessed; betray
33:1 through betraying, they shall betray
24:16 turncoats have deceitfully betrayed!
3:9 The look on their faces betrays them
10:9 Samaria no better than Damascus?
56:5 of my house that is better than sons
56:12 today, only far better! The righteous
16:7 all have cause to bewail Moab: they
36:18 Beware, lest Hezekiah mislead you
29:9 and become bewildered; preoccupy
50:1 is your mother’s bill of divorce with
9:18 jungle forests, and they shall billow
8:16 said, Bind up the testimony; seal the
22:18 dart. He will bind you tightly about
22:21 with your robe and bind your girdle
49:18 all as with jewels, bind them on you
61:1 me to bind up the brokenhearted, to
30:26 day Jehovah binds up the fracture of
46:11 will. I summon a bird of prey from
13:21 birds of prey will find lodging there
16:2 Like fluttering birds forced out of the
18:6 birds of prey of the mountains and to
18:6 to the beasts of the land: the birds of
31:5 upon its heights. As birds hover over
34:13 creatures, a reserve for birds of prey.
43:20 honor, the jackals and birds of prey,
7:14 woman with child shall give birth to
8:3 she conceived and gave birth to a son
26:17 a woman about to give birth cries out
37:3 reached the point of birth, but there is
46:3 a load on me since birth, borne up by
54:1 barren woman who did not give birth
66:7 Before she is in labor, she gives birth
66:8 Zion gave birth to her children. Shall
66:9 a crisis and not bring on birth, shall I
66:9 who cause the birth, shall I hinder it?
37:29 your nose and my bit in your mouth
5:20 bitterness sweet and the sweet bitter.
24:9 amid song; liquor has turned bitter to
22:4 I weep bitterly; hasten not to comfort
33:7 the champions of peace weep bitterly
5:20 bitterness sweet and the sweet bitter
38:14 bitterness of soul . . . .] O Jehovah, I
28:21 his bizarre work. Now therefore scoff
50:3 with the blackness of mourning; I put
37:24 you have blasphemed my Lord. You
32:6 For the godless utter blasphemy; their
25:4 When the blasts of tyrants beat down
27:8 his fierce blasts they were flung away
29:6 tempestuous blasts and conflagrations
5:24 blazing fire consumes stubble, and as
13:13 Hosts in the day of his blazing wrath
19:25 the earth. Jehovah of Hosts will bless
19:25 Blessed be Egypt my people, Assyria
30:18 of justice; blessed are all who wait for
32:20 Blessed are you, who shall then sow
51:2 him, but I blessed him by making him
56:2 Blessed is the man who does so—the
61:9 of the lineage Jehovah has blessed. I
65:23 lineage of those Jehovah has blessed
19:24 blessing in the midst of the earth. The
44:3 on your offspring, my blessing upon
65:16 Those of them who invoke blessings
29:18 the eyes of the blind see out of gross
35:5 shall the eyes of the blind be opened
42:7 nations, to open eyes that are blind, to
42:16 I lead the blind by a way they did not
42:18 O you deaf, listen; O you blind, look
42:19 blind but my own servant, or so deaf
42:19 blind like those I have commissioned
43:8 who are blind, yet have eyes, who are
56:10 Their watchmen are altogether blind
59:10 grope along the borders like the blind
8:14 a stumbling block or obstructing rock
1:11 blood of bulls and sheep and he-goats
1:15 are filled with blood. Wash yourselves
9:5 rolled in blood have become fuel for
15:9 Dibon shall flow with blood, yet will
26:21 the earth will uncover the blood shed
34:3 a stench; their blood shall dissolve on
34:6 sword that shall engorge with blood
34:6 fat—the blood of lambs and he-goats
34:7 blood, their soil enriched with fat. For
49:26 their own blood as with wine. And all
59:3 defiled with blood, your fingers with
59:7 hasten to shed innocent blood. Their
66:3 as one who offers swine’s blood, and
4:4 bloodshed, in the spirit of justice, by
27:6 Israel bursts into blossom, the face of
40:6 at its best like a blossom of the field.
45:8 salvation blossom; let righteousness
5:24 roots decay away and their blossoms
18:5 the set blossoms are developing into
35:1 desert shall rejoice when it blossoms
43:25 blot out your offenses, remembering
13:6 as a violent blow from the Almighty
19:7 channels shall shrivel and blow away
53:8 people, to whom the blow was due?
14:6 him who with unerring blows struck
28:7 seers, they blunder in their decisions
1:29 blush for the parks you were fond of
24:23 moon will blush and the sun be put
20:5 their hope, and at Egypt, their boast
30:7 refer to her as an idle boast. Go now
45:25 themselves and have cause to boast.
10:12 his notorious boasting and infamous
16:6 its boasting, of its outbursts of false
26:19 when their bodies arise. You will say
37:36 morning, there all their dead bodies!
58:3 bodies and you remain indifferent! It
64:2 —as when fire is lit for boiling water
5:14 the masses, their boisterous ones and
58:6 to release from wrongful bondage, to
28:22 not, lest your bonds grow severe, for
9:5 have become fuel for bonfires. For to
29:11 words of a sealed book that they give
29:18 the words of the book and the eyes of
30:8 book for the end-time, as a testimony forever
34:16 read it in the book of Jehovah: None
29:6 resounding booms, tempestuous blasts
9:5 day of Midian’s defeat. And all boots
19:19 a monument to Jehovah at its border.
10:13 have done away with the borders of
26:15 you have withdrawn all borders in the
60:18 disaster within your borders; you will
46:1 the images you bore aloft are piled as
49:21 to yourself, Who bore me these while
51:2 father, to Sarah who bore you. He was
51:18 among all the children she bore, none
53:4 no merit. Yet he bore our sufferings,
53:12 —he bore the sins of many, and made
9:6 to us a child is born, a son appointed,
49:20 children born during the time of your
57:4 you are born of sin, a spurious brood
66:8 but a day and a nation be born at once
45:10 to the Woman, What have you borne
46:3 birth, borne up by me from the womb
24:2 lender as with borrower, with creditor
40:11 his arm and carries in his bosom; the
63:15 your bosom and your compassion are
65:6 have paid back into their bosom their
66:11 the abundance of her bosom. For thus
49:22 will bring your sons in their bosoms
17:6 or three berries in the topmost bough
1:6 not been pressed out or bound up, nor
61:1 the opening of the eyes to the bound
54:12 and your entire boundary of precious
59:8 is not within their bounds. They have
66:12 bounty of the nations like a stream in
21:15 the bared sword, the drawn bow and
22:3 are captured without using the bow;
27:13 of Egypt shall come and bow down to
41:2 sword, as driven stubble to his bow?
44:17 idol, to which they bow in adoration
45:14 and bow down to you, entreating you
45:23 revoked; To me every knee shall bow
46:2 altogether sag and bow down, unable
46:6 a god they bow down to and worship
49:23 bow down before you, their faces to
51:14 now shall he who is bowed down be
58:5 Is it only for bowing one’s head like
60:14 you will come bowing before you; all
51:17 wrath, drinking to the dregs the bowl
51:22 no more from the bowl of my wrath.
22:24 lesser vessels, from ordinary bowls to
65:4 their bowls full of polluted broth, who
5:28 all their bows are strung. The tread of
7:24 will go there with bows and arrows,
13:18 Their bows shall tear apart the young
41:19 cypresses, elms and box trees in the
34:6 will hold a slaughter in Bozrah, an
63:1 this from Bozrah, arrayed in majesty
3:20 scarves, tiaras, bracelets and ribbons
11:1 and a branch from its graft bear fruit
17:6 four or five in its most fruitful branch
60:21 they are the branch I have planted, the
16:8 its branches spread abroad across the
18:5 remove the new branches by slashing
27:10 stripping bare the young branches of
19:16 the brandishing hand Jehovah wields
45:2 will break in pieces brazen doors and
48:4 was an iron sinew, your brow brazen
30:13 breach exposed in a high wall which
22:9 city of David increasingly breached,
30:20 Lord give you the bread of adversity
33:16 Bread is provided them, their water is
44:15 to bake bread, of that they create gods
44:19 fire; I also baked bread in its embers,
55:2 what is not bread, your labor on what
8:8 will span the breadth of your land, O
14:25 I will break Assyria in my own land,
24:19 rent; the earth shall break up and cave
28:13 might lapse into stumbling and break
30:9 people, sons who break faith, children
35:2 Joyously it shall break out in flower,
35:6 shall break forth in the wilderness and
35:7 creatures [shall marshes break out], in
42:3 even a bruised reed he will not break
52:9 Break out all together into song, you
54:1 did not give birth; break into jubilant
58:8 light break through like the dawn and
66:3 lamb, as one who breaks a dog’s neck
16:11 My breast will vibrate like a harp for
28:9 milk, those just taken from the breast
59:17 put on righteousness as a breastplate
32:12 Beat your breasts for the choice fields
60:16 suckling at the breasts of kings. Then
66:11 contentedly at her consoling breasts;
2:22 man, in whose nostrils is but breath!
11:4 of his mouth and with the breath of
30:28 breath is like a raging torrent that
30:33 Jehovah’s breath burns within it like
33:11 fire of your own breath devours you
42:5 the breath of life to the people upon
40:7 the Spirit of Jehovah breathe within
42:14 and breathe hard and fast all at once.
66:5 brethren who abhor you and exclude
66:20 brethren from throughout the nations
5:6 but briars and thorns shall overgrow
7:23 shall be briars and thorns. Men will
7:25 for fear of the briars and thorns, but
9:18 a fire, and briars and thorns shall it
10:17 and devour his briars and thorns in a
27:4 Should briars and thorns come up, I
32:13 be overgrown with briars and thorns
34:13 thistles and briars its strongholds; it
5:23 who acquit the guilty for a bribe, but
45:13 without price or bribe, says Jehovah
1:23 with one accord they love bribes and
33:15 taking bribes, who stop their ears at
47:11 how to avert by bribes; disaster shall
9:10 bricks have fallen down, but we will
65:3 in parks, making smoke upon bricks
49:18 you as does a bride. For your ruins
61:10 a bride adorned with her jewels. For
62:5 bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
61:10 like a bridegroom dressed in priestly
30:28 an erring bridle on their jaws he will
48:9 I have bridled my wrath; on account
9:2 in darkness have seen a bright light
2:10 and from the brightness of his glory.
2:19 and from the brightness of his glory,
2:21 and from the brightness of his glory,
60:3 kings to the brightness of your dawn.
60:19 nor the brightness of the moon your
34:9 earth into brimstone; her land shall
1:13 Bring no more worthless offerings;
3:14 He will bring to trial the elders of his
7:17 will bring upon you and your people
14:2 bring them to their own place. And
15:9 I will bring lions upon the fugitives
16:10 vintage shout I will bring to an end.
21:2 Babylon has caused I will bring to an
21:14 bring water to greet the thirsty; meet
26:12 Jehovah, you bring about our peace;
31:2 too is shrewd and will bring disaster
38:19 living, only they bring you praise, as
41:19 water. I will bring cedars and acacias
43:5 I will bring your offspring from the
43:6 not! Bring my sons from afar and my
43:9 pass? Let them bring their witnesses
43:14 Babylon and bring down as fugitives
43:23 bring me offerings from your flocks
46:11 I bring to pass: what I have planned
50:8 Who will bring charges against me?
56:7 will bring to my holy mountain and
58:7 bring home the wretchedly poor, and
58:11 dearth and bring vigor to your limbs
60:9 to bring back your children from afar
60:17 In place of copper I will bring gold,
60:17 in place of wood I will bring copper
66:4 bring upon them the thing they dread
66:9 Shall I bring to a crisis and not bring
66:20 nations and shall bring back all your
38:13 you are bringing on my end. Like a
43:20 for bringing water to the wilderness
51:3 Zion, bringing solace to all her ruins
34:16 by his Spirit he brings them together
40:23 who brings potentates to nought and
40:26 formed these? He who brings forth
52:7 brings tidings of good, who heralds
61:11 the earth brings forth its vegetation,
30:33 for rulers; broad and deep is its fire
33:21 country of rivers and broad streams
48:20 resounding voice; broadcast it to the
44:16 they broil a roast; they eat the meat
7:17 broke away from Judah—the day of
37:37 of Assyria broke camp and withdrew
5:5 have its wall broken through and let
8:15 fall shall be broken, and when they
14:5 ceased! Jehovah has broken the staff
14:29 the rod which struck you is broken.
15:4 Moab, but their spirit shall be broken
24:10 The towns of disorder are broken up
27:11 harvest of twigs dries, broken off by
61:1 sent me to bind up the brokenhearted
65:14 heartbreak, howling from brokenness
14:20 people. May the brood of miscreants
31:2 the brood of miscreants and allies of
34:15 eggs, hatch them and brood over her
32:2 like brooks of water in a desert place
44:4 like willows by running brooks. One
14:23 it with the broom of destruction, says
65:4 polluted broth, who think, Keep your
19:2 they will fight brother against brother
1:2 I have reared sons, brought them up,
2:9 Mankind is brought low when men
2:12 exalted, that they may be brought low
2:17 abased, and man’s pride brought low
3:9 their souls; they have brought disaster
5:15 Mankind is brought low when men
8:4 of Samaria will be brought before the
14:15 have been brought down to Sheol, to
18:7 be brought to Jehovah of Hosts from
26:18 in labor, but have brought forth only
33:11 brought forth stubble, the fire of your
37:26 planned it? Now I have brought it to
38:15 when he himself has brought it about
42:4 has brought about justice in the earth
46:13 have brought near my righteousness
48:15 have brought him, and I will prosper
53:6 way; Jehovah brought together upon
59:16 own arm brought about salvation for
60:11 of nations may be brought to you and
63:5 own arm brought about salvation for
63:11 who brought them up out of the Sea
66:20 as the Israelites brought offerings in
5:1 vineyard on the fertile brow of a hill
48:4 sinew, your brow brazen—therefore
11:7 When a cow and bear browse, their
32:14 animals, a browsing place for flocks
42:3 bruised reed he will not break; a dim
42:4 himself grow dim or be bruised until
1:6 and bruises and festering sores; they
32:15 be reckoned as brushwood. So shall
64:2 lit for boiling water, which bubbles
40:15 nations are but drops from a bucket,
28:25 and plant buckwheat in its own plot
