Isaiah 40:11-31

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}

40:14

With whom took he counsel
<03289> (8738)_,

and [who] instructed
<0995> (8799)

him, and taught
<03925> (8762)

him in the path
<0734>

of judgment
<04941>_,

and taught
<03925> (8762)

him knowledge
<01847>_,

and shewed
<03045> (8686)

to him the way
<01870>

of understanding
<08394>_?

{instructed...: Heb. made him understand} {understanding: Heb. understandings?}

40:15

Behold, the nations
<01471>

[are] as a drop
<04752>

of a bucket
<01805>_,

and are counted
<02803> (8738)

as the small dust
<07834>

of the balance
<03976>_:

behold, he taketh up
<05190> (8799)

the isles
<0339>

as a very little thing
<01851>_.

40:16

And Lebanon
<03844>

[is] not
<0369>

sufficient
<01767>

to burn
<01197> (8763)_,

nor the beasts
<02416>

thereof sufficient
<01767>

for a burnt offering
<05930>_.

40:17

All nations
<01471>

before him [are] as nothing; and they are counted
<02803> (8738)

to him less than nothing
<0657>_,

and vanity
<08414>_.

40:18

To whom then will ye liken
<01819> (8762)

God
<0410>_?

or what likeness
<01823>

will ye compare
<06186> (8799)

unto him?

40:19

The workman
<02796>

melteth
<05258> (8804)

a graven image
<06459>_,

and the goldsmith
<06884> (8802)

spreadeth
<07554> (8762)

it over with gold
<02091>_,

and casteth
<06884> (8802)

silver
<03701>

chains
<07577>_.

40:20

He that [is] so impoverished
<05533> (8794) (8676) <05534> (8765)

that he hath no oblation
<08641>

chooseth
<0977> (8799)

a tree
<06086>

[that] will not rot
<07537> (8799)_;

he seeketh
<01245> (8762)

unto him a cunning
<02450>

workman
<02796>

to prepare
<03559> (8687)

a graven image
<06459>_,

[that] shall not be moved
<04131> (8735)_.

{is so...: Heb. is poor of oblation}

40:21

Have ye not known
<03045> (8799)_?

have ye not heard
<08085> (8799)_?

hath it not been told
<05046> (8717)

you from the beginning
<07218>_?

have ye not understood
<0995> (8689)

from the foundations
<04146>

of the earth
<0776>_?

40:22

[It is] he that sitteth
<03427> (8802)

upon the circle
<02329>

of the earth
<0776>_,

and the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

thereof [are] as grasshoppers
<02284>_;

that stretcheth out
<05186> (8802)

the heavens
<08064>

as a curtain
<01852>_,

and spreadeth them out
<04969> (8799)

as a tent
<0168>

to dwell in
<03427> (8800)_:

{It is...: or, Him that}

40:23

That bringeth
<05414> (8802)

the princes
<07336> (8802)

to nothing; he maketh
<06213> (8804)

the judges
<08199> (8802)

of the earth
<0776>

as vanity
<08414>_.

40:24

Yea, they shall not be planted
<05193> (8738)_;

yea, they shall not be sown
<02232> (8795)_:

yea, their stock
<01503>

shall not take root
<08327> (8782)

in the earth
<0776>_:

and he shall also blow
<05398> (8804)

upon them, and they shall wither
<03001> (8799)_,

and the whirlwind
<05591>

shall take
<05375> (8799)

them away as stubble
<07179>_.

40:25

To whom then will ye liken
<01819> (8762)

me, or shall I be equal
<07737> (8799)_?

saith
<0559> (8799)

the Holy One
<06918>_.

40:26

Lift up
<05375> (8798)

your eyes
<05869>

on high
<04791>_,

and behold
<07200> (8798)

who hath created
<01254> (8804)

these [things], that bringeth out
<03318> (8688)

their host
<06635>

by number
<04557>_:

he calleth
<07121> (8799)

them all by names
<08034>

by the greatness
<07230>

of his might
<0202>_,

for that [he is] strong
<0533>

in power
<03581>_;

not one
<0376>

faileth
<05737> (8738)_.

40:27

Why sayest
<0559> (8799)

thou, O Jacob
<03290>_,

and speakest
<01696> (8762)_,

O Israel
<03478>_,

My way
<01870>

is hid
<05641> (8738)

from the LORD
<03068>_,

and my judgment
<04941>

is passed over
<05674> (8799)

from my God
<0430>_?

40:28

Hast thou not known
<03045> (8804)_?

hast thou not heard
<08085> (8804)_,

[that] the everlasting
<05769>

God
<0430>_,

the LORD
<03068>_,

the Creator
<01254> (8802)

of the ends
<07098>

of the earth
<0776>_,

fainteth
<03286> (8799)

not, neither is weary
<03021> (8799)_?

[there is] no searching
<02714>

of his understanding
<08394>_.

40:29

He giveth
<05414> (8802)

power
<03581>

to the faint
<03287>_;

and to [them that have] no might
<0202>

he increaseth
<07235> (8686)

strength
<06109>_.

40:30

Even the youths
<05288>

shall faint
<03286> (8799)

and be weary
<03021> (8799)_,

and the young men
<0970>

shall utterly
<03782> (8800)

fall
<03782> (8735)_:

40:31

But they that wait
<06960> (8802)

upon the LORD
<03068>

shall renew
<02498> (8686)

[their] strength
<03581>_;

they shall mount up
<05927> (8799)

with wings
<083>

as eagles
<05404>_;

they shall run
<07323> (8799)_,

and not be weary
<03021> (8799)_;

[and] they shall walk
<03212> (8799)_,

and not faint
<03286> (8799)_.

{renew: Heb. change}
