Isaiah 40:1-13

40:1

Comfort
<05162> (8761)

ye, comfort
<05162> (8761)

ye my people
<05971>_,

saith
<0559> (8799)

your God
<0430>_.

40:2

Speak
<01696> (8761)

ye comfortably
<03820>

to Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and cry
<07121> (8798)

unto her, that her warfare
<06635>

is accomplished
<04390> (8804)_,

that her iniquity
<05771>

is pardoned
<07521> (8738)_:

for she hath received
<03947> (8804)

of the LORD'S
<03068>

hand
<03027>

double
<03718>

for all her sins
<02403>_.

{comfortably: Heb. to the heart} {warfare: or, appointed time}

40:3

The voice
<06963>

of him that crieth
<07121> (8802)

in the wilderness
<04057>_,

Prepare
<06437> (8761)

ye the way
<01870>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

make straight
<03474> (8761)

in the desert
<06160>

a highway
<04546>

for our God
<0430>_.

40:4

Every valley
<01516>

shall be exalted
<05375> (8735)_,

and every mountain
<02022>

and hill
<01389>

shall be made low
<08213> (8799)_:

and the crooked
<06121>

shall be made straight
<04334>_,

and the rough places
<07406>

plain
<01237>_:

{straight: or, a straight place} {plain: or, a plain place}

40:5

And the glory
<03519>

of the LORD
<03068>

shall be revealed
<01540> (8738)_,

and all flesh
<01320>

shall see
<07200> (8804)

[it] together
<03162>_:

for the mouth
<06310>

of the LORD
<03068>

hath spoken
<01696> (8765)

[it].

40:6

The voice
<06963>

said
<0559> (8802)_,

Cry
<07121> (8798)_.

And he said
<0559> (8804)_,

What shall I cry
<07121> (8799)_?

All flesh
<01320>

[is] grass
<02682>_,

and all the goodliness
<02617>

thereof [is] as the flower
<06731>

of the field
<07704>_:

40:7

The grass
<02682>

withereth
<03001> (8804)_,

the flower
<06731>

fadeth
<05034> (8804)_:

because the spirit
<07307>

of the LORD
<03068>

bloweth
<05380> (8804)

upon it: surely
<0403>

the people
<05971>

[is] grass
<02682>_.

40:8

The grass
<02682>

withereth
<03001> (8804)_,

the flower
<06731>

fadeth
<05034> (8804)_:

but the word
<01697>

of our God
<0430>

shall stand
<06965> (8799)

for ever
<05769>_.

40:9

O Zion
<06726>_,

that bringest good tidings
<01319> (8764)_,

get thee up
<05927> (8798)

into the high
<01364>

mountain
<02022>_;

O Jerusalem
<03389>_,

that bringest good tidings
<01319> (8764)_,

lift up
<07311> (8685)

thy voice
<06963>

with strength
<03581>_;

lift [it] up
<07311> (8685)_,

be not afraid
<03372> (8799)_;

say
<0559> (8798)

unto the cities
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>_,

Behold your God
<0430>_!

{O Zion...: or, O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion} {O Jerusalem...: or, O thou that tellest good tidings to Jerusalem}

40:10

Behold, the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>

will come
<0935> (8799)

with strong
<02389>

[hand], and his arm
<02220>

shall rule
<04910> (8802)

for him: behold, his reward
<07939>

[is] with him, and his work
<06468>

before
<06440>

him. {with strong...: or, against the strong} {his work: or, recompence for his work}

40:11

He shall feed
<07462> (8799)

his flock
<05739>

like a shepherd
<07462> (8802)_:

he shall gather
<06908> (8762)

the lambs
<02922>

with his arm
<02220>_,

and carry
<05375> (8799)

[them] in his bosom
<02436>_,

[and] shall gently lead
<05095> (8762)

those that are with young
<05763> (8802)_.

{that...: or, that give suck}

40:12

Who hath measured
<04058> (8804)

the waters
<04325>

in the hollow of his hand
<08168>_,

and meted out
<08505> (8765)

heaven
<08064>

with the span
<02239>_,

and comprehended
<03557> (8804)

the dust
<06083>

of the earth
<0776>

in a measure
<07991>_,

and weighed
<08254> (8804)

the mountains
<02022>

in scales
<06425>_,

and the hills
<01389>

in a balance
<03976>_?

{a measure: Heb. a tierce}

40:13

Who hath directed
<08505> (8765)

the Spirit
<07307>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

or [being] his counsellor
<0376> <06098>

hath taught
<03045> (8686)

him? {his...: Heb. man of his counsel}
