And there are many things which have been spoken by Isaiah, which may be likened unto you, because that ye are of the House of Israel.

The words I will read are what Isaiah said about all the people of Israel. These words can be about you too. You are part of Israel. Isaiah said many things that can be about you because you are part of Israel.

Paraphrase

The words I’m about to read are what Isaiah said about the whole house of Israel. They apply to you, because you’re part of Israel’s family. Many things Isaiah spoke can be applied to you, since you’re descendants of Israel.
