Isaiah 15
Isaiah chapter 15 from the John Wycliffe Bible (c.1395)
1 Summe of hem diden that, that pleside God; but othere diden many synnes. 2 Ezechie maad strong his citee, and brouyte watir in to the myddis therof; and diggide a rooche with irun, and bildide a pit to watir. 3 In hise daies Senacherib stiede, and sente Rapsaces; and he reiside his hond ayens hem, and he reiside his hond ayens Syon, and was maad proud in his power. 4 Thanne the hertis and hondis of hem weren moued; and thei hadden sorewe as wymmen trauelynge of child. 5 And thei clepiden to help the merciful Lord, and thei spredden abrood the hondis, and reisiden to heuene; and the hooli Lord God herde soone the vois of hem. 6 He hadde not mynde on her synnes, nether yaf hem to her enemyes; but he purgide hem in the hond of Isaie, the hooli profete. 7 The aungel of the Lord castide doun the castels of Assiriens, and al to-brak hem. 8 For whi Ezechie dide that that pleside the Lord, and yede strongli in the weie of Dauith, his fadir; which weie Isaie, the grete profete, and feithful in the siyt of God, comaundide to hym. 9 In the daies of hym the sunne yede ayen abak; and God encreesside lijf to the kyng.
