And the book of the prophet Isaiah was given to him and, opening the book, he came on the place where it is said,
Even as it is said in the book of Isaiah the prophet, See, I send my servant before your face, who will make ready your way;
And he said, Well did Isaiah say of you, you false ones: These people give me honour with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
So that what was said by Isaiah the prophet might come true,
And for them the words of Isaiah have come true, Though you give ear, you will not get knowledge; and seeing, you will see, but the sense will not be clear to you:
You false ones, well did Isaiah say of you,
For this is he of whom Isaiah the prophet said, The voice of one crying in the waste land, Make ready the way of the Lord, make his roads straight.
So that the word of the prophet Isaiah might come true,
So that the word of Isaiah the prophet might come true: He himself took our pains and our diseases.
But they have not all given ear to the good news. For Isaiah says, Lord, who has had faith in our word?
And Isaiah says without fear, Those who were not searching for me made discovery of me; and I was seen by those whose hearts were turned away from me.
And again Isaiah says, There will be the root of Jesse, and he who comes to be the ruler over the Gentiles; in him will the Gentiles put their hope.
And Isaiah says about Israel, Even if the number of the children of Israel is as the sand of the sea, only a small part will get salvation:
And, as Isaiah had said before, If the Lord of armies had not given us a seed, we would have been like Sodom and Gomorrah.
