Isaiah 40:1--49:26

Comfort
<05162> (8761)
ye, comfort
<05162> (8761)
ye my people
<05971>_,
saith
<0559> (8799)
your God
<0430>_.
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}
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>_.
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}
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].
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>_:
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>_.
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>_.
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}
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}
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}
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}
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}
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?}
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>_.
And Lebanon
<03844>
[is] not
<0369>
sufficient
<01767>
to burn
<01197> (8763)_,
nor the beasts
<02416>
thereof sufficient
<01767>
for a burnt offering
<05930>_.
All nations
<01471>
before him [are] as nothing; and they are counted
<02803> (8738)
to him less than nothing
<0657>_,
and vanity
<08414>_.
To whom then will ye liken
<01819> (8762)
God
<0410>_?
or what likeness
<01823>
will ye compare
<06186> (8799)
unto him?
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>_.
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}
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>_?
[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}
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>_.
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>_.
To whom then will ye liken
<01819> (8762)
me, or shall I be equal
<07737> (8799)_?
saith
<0559> (8799)
the Holy One
<06918>_.
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)_.
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>_?
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>_.
He giveth
<05414> (8802)
power
<03581>
to the faint
<03287>_;
and to [them that have] no might
<0202>
he increaseth
<07235> (8686)
strength
<06109>_.
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)_:
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}
Keep silence
<02790> (8685)
before me, O islands
<0339>_;
and let the people
<03816>
renew
<02498> (8686)
[their] strength
<03581>_:
let them come near
<05066> (8799)_;
then let them speak
<01696> (8762)_:
let us come near
<07126> (8799)
together
<03162>
to judgment
<04941>_.
Who raised up
<05782> (8689)
the righteous
<06664>
[man] from the east
<04217>_,
called
<07121> (8799)
him to his foot
<07272>_,
gave
<05414> (8799)
the nations
<01471>
before
<06440>
him, and made [him] rule
<07287> (8686)
over kings
<04428>_?
he gave
<05414> (8799)
[them] as the dust
<06083>
to his sword
<02719>_,
[and] as driven
<05086> (8737)
stubble
<07179>
to his bow
<07198>_.
{the righteous...: Heb. righteousness}
He pursued
<07291> (8799)
them, [and] passed
<05674> (8799)
safely
<07965>_;
[even] by the way
<0734>
[that] he had not gone
<0935> (8799)
with his feet
<07272>_.
{safely: Heb. in peace}
Who hath wrought
<06466> (8804)
and done
<06213> (8804)
[it], calling
<07121> (8802)
the generations
<01755>
from the beginning
<07218>_?
I the LORD
<03068>_,
the first
<07223>_,
and with the last
<0314>_;
I [am] he.
The isles
<0339>
saw
<07200> (8804)
[it], and feared
<03372> (8799)_;
the ends
<07098>
of the earth
<0776>
were afraid
<02729> (8799)_,
drew near
<07126> (8804)_,
and came
<0857> (8799)_.
They helped
<05826> (8799)
every one
<0376>
his neighbour
<07453>_;
and [every one] said
<0559> (8799)
to his brother
<0251>_,
Be of good courage
<02388> (8798)_.
{Be...: Heb. Be strong}
So the carpenter
<02796>
encouraged
<02388> (8762)
the goldsmith
<06884> (8802)_,
[and] he that smootheth
<02505> (8688)
[with] the hammer
<06360>
him that smote
<01986> (8802)
the anvil
<06471>_,
saying
<0559> (8802)_,
It [is] ready
<02896>
for the sodering
<01694>_:
and he fastened
<02388> (8762)
it with nails
<04548>_,
[that] it should not be moved
<04131> (8735)_.
{goldsmith: or, founder} {him...: or, the smiting} {saying...: or, saying of the soder, It is good}
But thou, Israel
<03478>_,
[art] my servant
<05650>_,
Jacob
<03290>
whom I have chosen
<0977> (8804)_,
the seed
<02233>
of Abraham
<085>
my friend
<0157> (8802)_.
[Thou] whom I have taken
<02388> (8689)
from the ends
<07098>
of the earth
<0776>_,
and called
<07121> (8804)
thee from the chief men
<0678>
thereof, and said
<0559> (8799)
unto thee, Thou [art] my servant
<05650>_;
I have chosen
<0977> (8804)
thee, and not cast thee away
<03988> (8804)_.
Fear
<03372> (8799)
thou not; for I [am] with thee: be not dismayed
<08159> (8691)_;
for I [am] thy God
<0430>_:
I will strengthen
<0553> (8765)
thee; yea, I will help
<05826> (8804)
thee; yea, I will uphold
<08551> (8804)
thee with the right hand
<03225>
of my righteousness
<06664>_.
Behold, all they that were incensed
<02734> (8737)
against thee shall be ashamed
<0954> (8799)
and confounded
<03637> (8735)_:
they shall be as nothing; and they
<0582>
that strive
<07379>
with thee shall perish
<06> (8799)_.
{they that strive...: Heb. the men of thy strife}
Thou shalt seek
<01245> (8762)
them, and shalt not find
<04672> (8799)
them, [even] them
<0582>
that contended
<04695>
with thee: they that war
<04421>
against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought
<0657>_.
{them that...: Heb. the men of thy contention} {they...: Heb. the men of thy war}
For I the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
will hold
<02388> (8688)
thy right hand
<03225>_,
saying
<0559> (8802)
unto thee, Fear
<03372> (8799)
not; I will help
<05826> (8804)
thee.
Fear
<03372> (8799)
not, thou worm
<08438>
Jacob
<03290>_,
[and] ye men
<04962>
of Israel
<03478>_;
I will help
<05826> (8804)
thee, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
and thy redeemer
<01350> (8802)_,
the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>_.
{men: or, few men}
Behold, I will make
<07760> (8804)
thee a new
<02319>
sharp
<02742>
threshing
<04173>
instrument having
<01167>
teeth
<06374>_:
thou shalt thresh
<01758> (8799)
the mountains
<02022>_,
and beat [them] small
<01854> (8799)_,
and shalt make
<07760> (8799)
the hills
<01389>
as chaff
<04671>_.
{teeth: Heb. mouths}
Thou shalt fan
<02219> (8799)
them, and the wind
<07307>
shall carry them away
<05375> (8799)_,
and the whirlwind
<05591>
shall scatter
<06327> (8686)
them: and thou shalt rejoice
<01523> (8799)
in the LORD
<03068>_,
[and] shalt glory
<01984> (8691)
in the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>_.
[When] the poor
<06041>
and needy
<034>
seek
<01245> (8764)
water
<04325>_,
and [there is] none, [and] their tongue
<03956>
faileth
<05405> (8804)
for thirst
<06772>_,
I the LORD
<03068>
will hear
<06030> (8799)
them, I the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
will not forsake
<05800> (8799)
them.
I will open
<06605> (8799)
rivers
<05104>
in high places
<08205>_,
and fountains
<04599>
in the midst
<08432>
of the valleys
<01237>_:
I will make
<07760> (8799)
the wilderness
<04057>
a pool
<098>
of water
<04325>_,
and the dry
<06723>
land
<0776>
springs
<04161>
of water
<04325>_.
I will plant
<05414> (8799)
in the wilderness
<04057>
the cedar
<0730>_,
the shittah tree
<07848>_,
and the myrtle
<01918>_,
and the oil
<08081>
tree
<06086>_;
I will set
<07760> (8799)
in the desert
<06160>
the fir tree
<01265>_,
[and] the pine
<08410>_,
and the box tree
<08391>
together
<03162>_:
That they may see
<07200> (8799)_,
and know
<03045> (8799)_,
and consider
<07760> (8799)_,
and understand
<07919> (8686)
together
<03162>_,
that the hand
<03027>
of the LORD
<03068>
hath done
<06213> (8804)
this, and the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>
hath created
<01254> (8804)
it.
Produce
<07126> (8761)
your cause
<07379>_,
saith
<0559> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>_;
bring forth
<05066> (8685)
your strong
<06110>
[reasons], saith
<0559> (8799)
the King
<04428>
of Jacob
<03290>_.
{Produce: Heb. Cause to come near}
Let them bring [them] forth
<05066> (8686)_,
and shew
<05046> (8686)
us what shall happen
<07136> (8799)_:
let them shew
<05046> (8685)
the former things
<07223>_,
what they [be], that we may consider
<07760> (8799) <03820>
them, and know
<03045> (8799)
the latter end
<0319>
of them; or declare
<08085> (8685)
us things for to come
<0935> (8802)_.
{consider...: Heb. set our heart upon them}
Shew
<05046> (8685)
the things that are to come
<0857> (8802)
hereafter
<0268>_,
that we may know
<03045> (8799)
that ye [are] gods
<0430>_:
yea, do good
<03190> (8686)_,
or do evil
<07489> (8686)_,
that we may be dismayed
<08159> (8691)_,
and behold
<07200> (8799)
[it] together
<03162>_.
Behold, ye [are] of nothing
<0369>_,
and your work
<06467>
of nought
<0659>_:
an abomination
<08441>
[is he that] chooseth
<0977> (8799)
you. {of nothing: or, worse than nothing} {of nought: or, worse than of a viper}
I have raised up
<05782> (8689)
[one] from the north
<06828>_,
and he shall come
<0857> (8799)_:
from the rising
<04217>
of the sun
<08121>
shall he call
<07121> (8799)
upon my name
<08034>_:
and he shall come
<0935> (8799)
upon princes
<05461>
as [upon] morter
<02563>_,
and as the potter
<03335> (8802)
treadeth
<07429> (8799)
clay
<02916>_.
Who hath declared
<05046> (8689)
from the beginning
<07218>_,
that we may know
<03045> (8799)_?
and beforetime
<06440>_,
that we may say
<0559> (8799)_,
[He is] righteous
<06662>_?
yea, [there is] none that sheweth
<05046> (8688)_,
yea, [there is] none that declareth
<08085> (8688)_,
yea, [there is] none that heareth
<08085> (8802)
your words
<0561>_.
The first
<07223>
[shall say] to Zion
<06726>_,
Behold
<02009>_,
behold
<02009>
them: and I will give
<05414> (8799)
to Jerusalem
<03389>
one that bringeth good tidings
<01319> (8764)_.
For I beheld
<07200> (8799)_,
and [there was] no man
<0376>_;
even among them, and [there was] no counsellor
<03289> (8802)_,
that, when I asked
<07592> (8799)
of them, could answer
<07725> (8686)
a word
<01697>_.
{answer: Heb. return}
Behold, they [are] all vanity
<0205>_;
their works
<04639>
[are] nothing
<0657>_:
their molten images
<05262>
[are] wind
<07307>
and confusion
<08414>_.
Behold my servant
<05650>_,
whom I uphold
<08551> (8799)_;
mine elect
<0972>_,
[in whom] my soul
<05315>
delighteth
<07521> (8804)_;
I have put
<05414> (8804)
my spirit
<07307>
upon him: he shall bring forth
<03318> (8686)
judgment
<04941>
to the Gentiles
<01471>_.
He shall not cry
<06817> (8799)_,
nor lift up
<05375> (8799)_,
nor cause his voice
<06963>
to be heard
<08085> (8686)
in the street
<02351>_.
A bruised
<07533> (8803)
reed
<07070>
shall he not break
<07665> (8799)_,
and the smoking
<03544>
flax
<06594>
shall he not quench
<03518> (8762)_:
he shall bring forth
<03318> (8686)
judgment
<04941>
unto truth
<0571>_.
{smoking: or, dimly burning} {quench: Heb. quench it}
He shall not fail
<03543> (8799)
nor be discouraged
<07533> (8799)_,
till he have set
<07760> (8799)
judgment
<04941>
in the earth
<0776>_:
and the isles
<0339>
shall wait
<03176> (8762)
for his law
<08451>_.
{discouraged: Heb. broken}
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
God
<0410>
the LORD
<03068>_,
he that created
<01254> (8802)
the heavens
<08064>_,
and stretched them out
<05186> (8802)_;
he that spread forth
<07554> (8802)
the earth
<0776>_,
and that which cometh out
<06631>
of it; he that giveth
<05414> (8802)
breath
<05397>
unto the people
<05971>
upon it, and spirit
<07307>
to them that walk
<01980> (8802)
therein:
I the LORD
<03068>
have called
<07121> (8804)
thee in righteousness
<06664>_,
and will hold
<02388> (8686)
thine hand
<03027>_,
and will keep
<05341> (8799)
thee, and give
<05414> (8799)
thee for a covenant
<01285>
of the people
<05971>_,
for a light
<0216>
of the Gentiles
<01471>_;
To open
<06491> (8800)
the blind
<05787>
eyes
<05869>_,
to bring out
<03318> (8687)
the prisoners
<0616>
from the prison
<04525>_,
[and] them that sit
<03427> (8802)
in darkness
<02822>
out of the prison
<03608>
house
<01004>_.
I [am] the LORD
<03068>_:
that [is] my name
<08034>_:
and my glory
<03519>
will I not give
<05414> (8799)
to another
<0312>_,
neither my praise
<08416>
to graven images
<06456>_.
Behold, the former things
<07223>
are come to pass
<0935> (8804)_,
and new things
<02319>
do I declare
<05046> (8688)_:
before they spring forth
<06779> (8799)
I tell
<08085> (8686)
you of them.
Sing
<07891> (8798)
unto the LORD
<03068>
a new
<02319>
song
<07892>_,
[and] his praise
<08416>
from the end
<07097>
of the earth
<0776>_,
ye that go down
<03381> (8802)
to the sea
<03220>_,
and all that is therein
<04393>_;
the isles
<0339>_,
and the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
thereof. {all...: Heb. the fulness thereof}
Let the wilderness
<04057>
and the cities
<05892>
thereof lift up
<05375> (8799)
[their voice], the villages
<02691>
[that] Kedar
<06938>
doth inhabit
<03427> (8799)_:
let the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of the rock
<05553>
sing
<07442> (8799)_,
let them shout
<06681> (8799)
from the top
<07218>
of the mountains
<02022>_.
Let them give
<07760> (8799)
glory
<03519>
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
and declare
<05046> (8686)
his praise
<08416>
in the islands
<0339>_.
The LORD
<03068>
shall go forth
<03318> (8799)
as a mighty man
<01368>_,
he shall stir up
<05782> (8686)
jealousy
<07068>
like a man
<0376>
of war
<04421>_:
he shall cry
<07321> (8686)_,
yea, roar
<06873> (8686)_;
he shall prevail
<01396> (8691)
against his enemies
<0341> (8802)_.
{prevail: or, behave himself mightily}
I have long time
<05769>
holden my peace
<02814> (8689)_;
I have been still
<02790> (8686)_,
[and] refrained
<0662> (8691)
myself: [now] will I cry
<06463> (8799)
like a travailing woman
<03205> (8802)_;
I will destroy
<05395> (8799) (8676) <08074> (8799)
and devour
<07602> (8799)
at once
<03162>_.
{devour: Heb. swallow, or, sup up}
I will make waste
<02717> (8686)
mountains
<02022>
and hills
<01389>_,
and dry up
<03001> (8686)
all their herbs
<06212>_;
and I will make
<07760> (8804)
the rivers
<05104>
islands
<0339>_,
and I will dry up
<03001> (8686)
the pools
<098>_.
And I will bring
<03212> (8689)
the blind
<05787>
by a way
<01870>
[that] they knew
<03045> (8804)
not; I will lead
<01869> (8686)
them in paths
<05410>
[that] they have not known
<03045> (8804)_:
I will make
<07760> (8799)
darkness
<04285>
light
<0216>
before
<06440>
them, and crooked things
<04625>
straight
<04334>_.
These things
<01697>
will I do
<06213> (8804)
unto them, and not forsake
<05800> (8804)
them. {straight: Heb. into straightness}
They shall be turned
<05472> (8738)
back
<0268>_,
they shall be greatly
<01322>
ashamed
<0954> (8799)_,
that trust
<0982> (8802)
in graven images
<06459>_,
that say
<0559> (8802)
to the molten images
<04541>_,
Ye [are] our gods
<0430>_.
Hear
<08085> (8798)_,
ye deaf
<02795>_;
and look
<05027> (8685)_,
ye blind
<05787>_,
that ye may see
<07200> (8800)_.
Who [is] blind
<05787>_,
but my servant
<05650>_?
or deaf
<02795>_,
as my messenger
<04397>
[that] I sent
<07971> (8799)_?
who [is] blind
<05787>
as [he that is] perfect
<07999> (8794)_,
and blind
<05787>
as the LORD'S
<03068>
servant
<05650>_?
Seeing
<07200> (8800) (8675) <07200> (8804)
many things
<07227>_,
but thou observest
<08104> (8799)
not; opening
<06491> (8800)
the ears
<0241>_,
but he heareth
<08085> (8799)
not.
The LORD
<03068>
is well pleased
<02654> (8804)
for his righteousness
<06664>_'
sake; he will magnify
<01431> (8686)
the law
<08451>_,
and make [it] honourable
<0142> (8686)_.
{it: or, him}
But this [is] a people
<05971>
robbed
<0962> (8803)
and spoiled
<08154> (8803)_;
[they are] all of them snared
<06351> (8687)
in holes
<02352> (8676) <0970>_,
and they are hid
<02244> (8717)
in prison
<03608>
houses
<01004>_:
they are for a prey
<0957>_,
and none delivereth
<05337> (8688)_;
for a spoil
<04933>_,
and none saith
<0559> (8802)_,
Restore
<07725> (8685)_.
{they are all...: or, in snaring all the young men of them} {for a spoil: Heb. a treading}
Who among you will give ear
<0238> (8686)
to this? [who] will hearken
<07181> (8686)
and hear
<08085> (8799)
for the time to come
<0268>_?
{for...: Heb. for the after time?}
Who gave
<05414> (8804)
Jacob
<03290>
for a spoil
<04933> (8675) <04882>_,
and Israel
<03478>
to the robbers
<0962> (8802)_?
did not the LORD
<03068>_,
he against whom
<02098>
we have sinned
<02398> (8804)_?
for they would
<014> (8804)
not walk
<01980> (8800)
in his ways
<01870>_,
neither were they obedient
<08085> (8804)
unto his law
<08451>_.
Therefore he hath poured
<08210> (8799)
upon him the fury
<02534>
of his anger
<0639>_,
and the strength
<05807>
of battle
<04421>_:
and it hath set him on fire
<03857> (8762)
round about
<05439>_,
yet he knew
<03045> (8804)
not; and it burned
<01197> (8799)
him, yet he laid
<07760> (8799)
[it] not to heart
<03820>_.
But now thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
that created
<01254> (8802)
thee, O Jacob
<03290>_,
and he that formed
<03335> (8802)
thee, O Israel
<03478>_,
Fear
<03372> (8799)
not: for I have redeemed
<01350> (8804)
thee, I have called
<07121> (8804)
[thee] by thy name
<08034>_;
thou [art] mine.
When thou passest through
<05674> (8799)
the waters
<04325>_,
I [will be] with thee; and through the rivers
<05104>_,
they shall not overflow
<07857> (8799)
thee: when thou walkest
<03212> (8799)
through
<01119>
the fire
<0784>_,
thou shalt not be burned
<03554> (8735)_;
neither shall the flame
<03852>
kindle
<01197> (8799)
upon thee.
For I [am] the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>_,
the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>_,
thy Saviour
<03467> (8688)_:
I gave
<05414> (8804)
Egypt
<04714>
[for] thy ransom
<03724>_,
Ethiopia
<03568>
and Seba
<05434>
for thee.
Since thou wast precious
<03365> (8804)
in my sight
<05869>_,
thou hast been honourable
<03513> (8738)_,
and I have loved
<0157> (8804)
thee: therefore will I give
<05414> (8799)
men
<0120>
for thee, and people
<03816>
for thy life
<05315>_.
{life: or, person}
Fear
<03372> (8799)
not: for I [am] with thee: I will bring
<0935> (8686)
thy seed
<02233>
from the east
<04217>_,
and gather
<06908> (8762)
thee from the west
<04628>_;
I will say
<0559> (8799)
to the north
<06828>_,
Give up
<05414> (8798)_;
and to the south
<08486>_,
Keep not back
<03607> (8799)_:
bring
<0935> (8685)
my sons
<01121>
from far
<07350>_,
and my daughters
<01323>
from the ends
<07097>
of the earth
<0776>_;
[Even] every one
<03605>
that is called
<07121> (8737)
by my name
<08034>_:
for I have created
<01254> (8804)
him for my glory
<03519>_,
I have formed
<03335> (8804)
him; yea, I have made
<06213> (8804)
him.
Bring forth
<03318> (8685)
the blind
<05787>
people
<05971>
that have
<03426>
eyes
<05869>_,
and the deaf
<02795>
that have ears
<0241>_.
Let all the nations
<01471>
be gathered
<06908> (8738)
together
<03162>_,
and let the people
<03816>
be assembled
<0622> (8735)_:
who among them can declare
<05046> (8686)
this, and shew
<08085> (8686)
us former things
<07223>_?
let them bring forth
<05414> (8799)
their witnesses
<05707>_,
that they may be justified
<06663> (8799)_:
or let them hear
<08085> (8799)_,
and say
<0559> (8799)_,
[It is] truth
<0571>_.
Ye [are] my witnesses
<05707>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
and my servant
<05650>
whom I have chosen
<0977> (8804)_:
that ye may know
<03045> (8799)
and believe
<0539> (8686)
me, and understand
<0995> (8799)
that I [am] he: before
<06440>
me there was no God
<0410>
formed
<03335> (8738)_,
neither shall there be after
<0310>
me. {no...: or, nothing formed of God}
I, [even] I, [am] the LORD
<03068>_;
and beside
<01107>
me [there is] no saviour
<03467> (8688)_.
I have declared
<05046> (8689)_,
and have saved
<03467> (8689)_,
and I have shewed
<08085> (8689)_,
when [there was] no strange
<02114> (8801)
[god] among you: therefore ye [are] my witnesses
<05707>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
that I [am] God
<0410>_.
Yea, before the day
<03117>
[was] I [am] he; and [there is] none that can deliver
<05337> (8688)
out of my hand
<03027>_:
I will work
<06466> (8799)_,
and who shall let
<07725> (8686)
it? {let it: Heb. turn it back?}
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
your redeemer
<01350> (8802)_,
the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>_;
For your sake I have sent
<07971> (8765)
to Babylon
<0894>_,
and have brought down
<03381> (8689)
all their nobles
<01281>_,
and the Chaldeans
<03778>_,
whose cry
<07440>
[is] in the ships
<0591>_.
{nobles: Heb. bars}
I [am] the LORD
<03068>_,
your Holy One
<06918>_,
the creator
<01254> (8802)
of Israel
<03478>_,
your King
<04428>_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
which maketh
<05414> (8802)
a way
<01870>
in the sea
<03220>_,
and a path
<05410>
in the mighty
<05794>
waters
<04325>_;
Which bringeth forth
<03318> (8688)
the chariot
<07393>
and horse
<05483>_,
the army
<02428>
and the power
<05808>_;
they shall lie down
<07901> (8799)
together
<03162>_,
they shall not rise
<06965> (8799)_:
they are extinct
<01846> (8804)_,
they are quenched
<03518> (8804)
as tow
<06594>_.
Remember
<02142> (8799)
ye not the former things
<07223>_,
neither consider
<0995> (8709)
the things of old
<06931>_.
Behold, I will do
<06213> (8802)
a new thing
<02319>_;
now it shall spring forth
<06779> (8799)_;
shall ye not know
<03045> (8799)
it? I will even make
<07760> (8799)
a way
<01870>
in the wilderness
<04057>_,
[and] rivers
<05104>
in the desert
<03452>_.
The beast
<02416>
of the field
<07704>
shall honour
<03513> (8762)
me, the dragons
<08577>
and the owls
<01323> <03284>_:
because I give
<05414> (8804)
waters
<04325>
in the wilderness
<04057>_,
[and] rivers
<05104>
in the desert
<03452>_,
to give drink
<08248> (8687)
to my people
<05971>_,
my chosen
<0972>_.
{owls: or, ostriches: Heb. daughters of the owl}
This
<02098>
people
<05971>
have I formed
<03335> (8804)
for myself; they shall shew forth
<05608> (8762)
my praise
<08416>_.
But thou hast not called
<07121> (8804)
upon me, O Jacob
<03290>_;
but thou hast been weary
<03021> (8804)
of me, O Israel
<03478>_.
Thou hast not brought
<0935> (8689)
me the small cattle
<07716>
of thy burnt offerings
<05930>_;
neither hast thou honoured
<03513> (8765)
me with thy sacrifices
<02077>_.
I have not caused thee to serve
<05647> (8689)
with an offering
<04503>_,
nor wearied
<03021> (8689)
thee with incense
<03828>_.
{small...: Heb. lambs, or, kids}
Thou hast bought
<07069> (8804)
me no sweet cane
<07070>
with money
<03701>_,
neither hast thou filled
<07301> (8689)
me with the fat
<02459>
of thy sacrifices
<02077>_:
but thou hast made me to serve
<05647> (8689)
with thy sins
<02403>_,
thou hast wearied
<03021> (8689)
me with thine iniquities
<05771>_.
{filled...: Heb. made me drunk, or, abundantly moistened}
I, [even] I, [am] he that blotteth out
<04229> (8802)
thy transgressions
<06588>
for mine own sake, and will not remember
<02142> (8799)
thy sins
<02403>_.
Put me in remembrance
<02142> (8685)_:
let us plead
<08199> (8735)
together
<03162>_:
declare
<05608> (8761)
thou, that thou mayest be justified
<06663> (8799)_.
Thy first
<07223>
father
<01>
hath sinned
<02398> (8804)_,
and thy teachers
<03887> (8688)
have transgressed
<06586> (8804)
against me. {teachers: Heb. interpreters}
Therefore I have profaned
<02490> (8762)
the princes
<08269>
of the sanctuary
<06944>_,
and have given
<05414> (8799)
Jacob
<03290>
to the curse
<02764>_,
and Israel
<03478>
to reproaches
<01421>_.
{princes...: or, holy princes}
Yet now hear
<08085> (8798)_,
O Jacob
<03290>
my servant
<05650>_;
and Israel
<03478>_,
whom I have chosen
<0977> (8804)_:
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
that made
<06213> (8802)
thee, and formed
<03335> (8802)
thee from the womb
<0990>_,
[which] will help
<05826> (8799)
thee; Fear
<03372> (8799)
not, O Jacob
<03290>_,
my servant
<05650>_;
and thou, Jesurun
<03484>_,
whom I have chosen
<0977> (8804)_.
For I will pour
<03332> (8799)
water
<04325>
upon him that is thirsty
<06771>_,
and floods
<05140> (8802)
upon the dry ground
<03004>_:
I will pour
<03332> (8799)
my spirit
<07307>
upon thy seed
<02233>_,
and my blessing
<01293>
upon thine offspring
<06631>_:
And they shall spring up
<06779> (8804)
[as] among
<0996>
the grass
<02682>_,
as willows
<06155>
by the water
<04325>
courses
<02988>_.
One shall say
<0559> (8799)_,
I [am] the LORD'S
<03068>_;
and another shall call
<07121> (8799)
[himself] by the name
<08034>
of Jacob
<03290>_;
and another shall subscribe
<03789> (8799)
[with] his hand
<03027>
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
and surname
<03655> (8762)
[himself] by the name
<08034>
of Israel
<03478>_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
the King
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and his redeemer
<01350> (8802)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_;
I [am] the first
<07223>_,
and I [am] the last
<0314>_;
and beside
<01107>
me [there is] no God
<0430>_.
And who, as I, shall call
<07121> (8799)_,
and shall declare
<05046> (8686)
it, and set it in order
<06186> (8799)
for me, since I appointed
<07760> (8800)
the ancient
<05769>
people
<05971>_?
and the things that are coming
<0857> (8802)_,
and shall come
<0935> (8799)_,
let them shew
<05046> (8686)
unto them.
Fear
<06342> (8799)
ye not, neither be afraid
<07297> (8799) (8676) <07297> (8804)_:
have not I told
<08085> (8689)
thee from that time
<0227>_,
and have declared
<05046> (8689)
[it]? ye [are] even my witnesses
<05707>_.
Is there
<03426>
a God
<0433>
beside
<01107>
me? yea, [there is] no God
<06697>_;
I know
<03045> (8804)
not [any]. {God; I: Heb. rock, etc}
They that make
<03335> (8802)
a graven image
<06459>
[are] all of them vanity
<08414>_;
and their delectable things
<02530> (8803)
shall not profit
<03276> (8686)_;
and they [are] their own witnesses
<05707>_;
they see
<07200> (8799)
not, nor know
<03045> (8799)_;
that they may be ashamed
<0954> (8799)_.
{delectable: Heb. desirable}
Who hath formed
<03335> (8804)
a god
<0410>_,
or molten
<05258> (8804)
a graven image
<06459>
[that] is profitable
<03276> (8687)
for nothing
<01115>_?
Behold, all his fellows
<02270>
shall be ashamed
<0954> (8799)_:
and the workmen
<02796>_,
they [are] of men
<0120>_:
let them all be gathered together
<06908> (8691)_,
let them stand up
<05975> (8799)_;
[yet] they shall fear
<06342> (8799)_,
[and] they shall be ashamed
<0954> (8799)
together
<03162>_.
The smith
<01270> <02796>
with the tongs
<04621>
both worketh
<06466> (8804)
in the coals
<06352>_,
and fashioneth
<03335> (8799)
it with hammers
<04717>_,
and worketh
<06466> (8799)
it with the strength
<03581>
of his arms
<02220>_:
yea, he is hungry
<07457>_,
and his strength
<03581>
faileth
<0369>_:
he drinketh
<08354> (8804)
no water
<04325>_,
and is faint
<03286> (8799)_.
{with the tongs: or, with an axe}
The carpenter
<02796> <06086>
stretcheth out
<05186> (8804)
[his] rule
<06957>_;
he marketh it out
<08388> (8762)
with a line
<08279>_;
he fitteth
<06213> (8799)
it with planes
<04741>_,
and he marketh it out
<08388> (8762)
with the compass
<04230>_,
and maketh
<06213> (8799)
it after the figure
<08403>
of a man
<0376>_,
according to the beauty
<08597>
of a man
<0120>_;
that it may remain
<03427> (8800)
in the house
<01004>_.
He heweth him down
<03772> (8800)
cedars
<0730>_,
and taketh
<03947> (8799)
the cypress
<08645>
and the oak
<0437>_,
which he strengtheneth
<0553> (8762)
for himself among the trees
<06086>
of the forest
<03293>_:
he planteth
<05193> (8804)
an ash
<0766>_,
and the rain
<01653>
doth nourish
<01431> (8762)
[it]. {strengtheneth: or, taketh courage}
Then shall it be for a man
<0120>
to burn
<01197> (8763)_:
for he will take
<03947> (8799)
thereof, and warm
<02552> (8799)
himself; yea, he kindleth
<05400> (8686)
[it], and baketh
<0644> (8804)
bread
<03899>_;
yea, he maketh
<06466> (8799)
a god
<0410>_,
and worshippeth
<07812> (8691)
[it]; he maketh
<06213> (8804)
it a graven image
<06459>_,
and falleth down
<05456> (8799)
thereto.
He burneth
<08313> (8804)
part
<02677>
thereof in
<01119>
the fire
<0784>_;
with part
<02677>
thereof he eateth
<0398> (8799)
flesh
<01320>_;
he roasteth
<06740> (8799)
roast
<06748>_,
and is satisfied
<07646> (8799)_:
yea, he warmeth
<02552> (8799)
[himself], and saith
<0559> (8799)_,
Aha
<01889>_,
I am warm
<02552> (8804)_,
I have seen
<07200> (8804)
the fire
<0217>_:
And the residue
<07611>
thereof he maketh
<06213> (8804)
a god
<0410>_,
[even] his graven image
<06459>_:
he falleth down
<05456> (8799)
unto it, and worshippeth
<07812> (8691)
[it], and prayeth
<06419> (8691)
unto it, and saith
<0559> (8799)_,
Deliver
<05337> (8685)
me; for thou [art] my god
<0410>_.
They have not known
<03045> (8804)
nor understood
<0995> (8799)_:
for he hath shut
<02902> (8804)
their eyes
<05869>_,
that they cannot see
<07200> (8800)_;
[and] their hearts
<03826>_,
that they cannot understand
<07919> (8687)_.
{shut: Heb. daubed}
And none considereth
<07725> (8686)
in his heart
<03820>_,
neither [is there] knowledge
<01847>
nor understanding
<08394>
to say
<0559> (8800)_,
I have burned
<08313> (8804)
part
<02677>
of it in
<01119>
the fire
<0784>_;
yea, also I have baked
<0644> (8804)
bread
<03899>
upon the coals
<01513>
thereof; I have roasted
<06740> (8799)
flesh
<01320>_,
and eaten
<0398> (8799)
[it]: and shall I make
<06213> (8799)
the residue
<03499>
thereof an abomination
<08441>_?
shall I fall down
<05456> (8799)
to the stock
<0944>
of a tree
<06086>_?
{considereth...: Heb. setteth to his heart} {the stock...: Heb. that which comes of a tree?}
He feedeth
<07462> (8802)
on ashes
<0665>_:
a deceived
<02048> (8795)
heart
<03820>
hath turned him aside
<05186> (8689)_,
that he cannot deliver
<05337> (8686)
his soul
<05315>_,
nor say
<0559> (8799)_,
[Is there] not a lie
<08267>
in my right hand
<03225>_?
Remember
<02142> (8798)
these, O Jacob
<03290>
and Israel
<03478>_;
for thou [art] my servant
<05650>_:
I have formed
<03335> (8804)
thee; thou [art] my servant
<05650>_:
O Israel
<03478>_,
thou shalt not be forgotten
<05382> (8735)
of me.
I have blotted out
<04229> (8804)_,
as a thick cloud
<05645>_,
thy transgressions
<06588>_,
and, as a cloud
<06051>_,
thy sins
<02403>_:
return
<07725> (8798)
unto me; for I have redeemed
<01350> (8804)
thee.
Sing
<07442> (8798)_,
O ye heavens
<08064>_;
for the LORD
<03068>
hath done
<06213> (8804)
[it]: shout
<07321> (8685)_,
ye lower parts
<08482>
of the earth
<0776>_:
break forth
<06476> (8798)
into singing
<07440>_,
ye mountains
<02022>_,
O forest
<03293>_,
and every tree
<06086>
therein: for the LORD
<03068>
hath redeemed
<01350> (8804)
Jacob
<03290>_,
and glorified
<06286> (8691)
himself in Israel
<03478>_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
thy redeemer
<01350> (8802)_,
and he that formed
<03335> (8802)
thee from the womb
<0990>_,
I [am] the LORD
<03068>
that maketh
<06213> (8802)
all [things]; that stretcheth forth
<05186> (8802)
the heavens
<08064>
alone; that spreadeth abroad
<07554> (8802)
the earth
<0776>
by myself;
That frustrateth
<06565> (8688)
the tokens
<0226>
of the liars
<0907>_,
and maketh diviners
<07080> (8802)
mad
<01984> (8779)_;
that turneth
<07725> (8688)
wise
<02450>
[men] backward
<0268>_,
and maketh their knowledge
<01847>
foolish
<05528> (8762)_;
That confirmeth
<06965> (8688)
the word
<01697>
of his servant
<05650>_,
and performeth
<07999> (8686)
the counsel
<06098>
of his messengers
<04397>_;
that saith
<0559> (8802)
to Jerusalem
<03389>_,
Thou shalt be inhabited
<03427> (8714)_;
and to the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>_,
Ye shall be built
<01129> (8735)_,
and I will raise up
<06965> (8787)
the decayed places
<02723>
thereof: {decayed...: Heb. wastes}
That saith
<0559> (8802)
to the deep
<06683>_,
Be dry
<02717> (8798)_,
and I will dry up
<03001> (8686)
thy rivers
<05104>_:
That saith
<0559> (8802)
of Cyrus
<03566>_,
[He is] my shepherd
<07462> (8802)_,
and shall perform
<07999> (8686)
all my pleasure
<02656>_:
even saying
<0559> (8800)
to Jerusalem
<03389>_,
Thou shalt be built
<01129> (8735)_;
and to the temple
<01964>_,
Thy foundation shall be laid
<03245> (8735)_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
to his anointed
<04899>_,
to Cyrus
<03566>_,
whose right hand
<03225>
I have holden
<02388> (8689)_,
to subdue
<07286> (8800)
nations
<01471>
before
<06440>
him; and I will loose
<06605> (8762)
the loins
<04975>
of kings
<04428>_,
to open
<06605> (8800)
before
<06440>
him the two leaved gates
<01817>_;
and the gates
<08179>
shall not be shut
<05462> (8735)_;
{have...: or, strengthened}
I will go
<03212> (8799)
before
<06440>
thee, and make
<03474> (0)
the crooked places
<01921> (8803)
straight
<03474> (8762) (8675) <03474> (8686)_:
I will break in pieces
<07665> (8762)
the gates
<01817>
of brass
<05154>_,
and cut in sunder
<01438> (8762)
the bars
<01280>
of iron
<01270>_:
And I will give
<05414> (8804)
thee the treasures
<0214>
of darkness
<02822>_,
and hidden riches
<04301>
of secret places
<04565>_,
that thou mayest know
<03045> (8799)
that I, the LORD
<03068>_,
which call
<07121> (8802)
[thee] by thy name
<08034>_,
[am] the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_.
For Jacob
<03290>
my servant's
<05650>
sake, and Israel
<03478>
mine elect
<0972>_,
I have even called
<07121> (8799)
thee by thy name
<08034>_:
I have surnamed
<03655> (8762)
thee, though thou hast not known
<03045> (8804)
me.
I [am] the LORD
<03068>_,
and [there is] none else, [there is] no God
<0430>
beside
<02108>
me: I girded
<0247> (8762)
thee, though thou hast not known
<03045> (8804)
me:
That they may know
<03045> (8799)
from the rising
<04217>
of the sun
<08121>_,
and from the west
<04628>_,
that [there is] none
<0657>
beside
<01107>
me. I [am] the LORD
<03068>_,
and [there is] none else.
I form
<03335> (8802)
the light
<0216>_,
and create
<01254> (8802)
darkness
<02822>_:
I make
<06213> (8802)
peace
<07965>_,
and create
<01254> (8802)
evil
<07451>_:
I the LORD
<03068>
do
<06213> (8802)
all these [things].
Drop down
<07491> (8685)_,
ye heavens
<08064>_,
from above
<04605>_,
and let the skies
<07834>
pour down
<05140> (8799)
righteousness
<06664>_:
let the earth
<0776>
open
<06605> (8799)_,
and let them bring forth
<06509> (8799)
salvation
<03468>_,
and let righteousness
<06666>
spring up
<06779> (8686)
together
<03162>_;
I the LORD
<03068>
have created
<01254> (8804)
it.
Woe
<01945>
unto him that striveth
<07378> (8801)
with his Maker
<03335> (8802)_!
[Let] the potsherd
<02789>
[strive] with the potsherds
<02789>
of the earth
<0127>_.
Shall the clay
<02563>
say
<0559> (8799)
to him that fashioneth
<03335> (8802)
it, What makest
<06213> (8799)
thou? or thy work
<06467>_,
He hath no hands
<03027>_?
Woe
<01945>
unto him that saith
<0559> (8802)
unto [his] father
<01>_,
What begettest
<03205> (8686)
thou? or to the woman
<0802>_,
What hast thou brought forth
<02342> (8799)_?
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and his Maker
<03335> (8802)_,
Ask
<07592> (8798)
me of things to come
<0857> (8802)
concerning my sons
<01121>_,
and concerning the work
<06467>
of my hands
<03027>
command
<06680> (8762)
ye me.
I have made
<06213> (8804)
the earth
<0776>_,
and created
<01254> (8804)
man
<0120>
upon it: I, [even] my hands
<03027>_,
have stretched out
<05186> (8804)
the heavens
<08064>_,
and all their host
<06635>
have I commanded
<06680> (8765)_.
I have raised him up
<05782> (8689)
in righteousness
<06664>_,
and I will direct
<03474> (8762)
all his ways
<01870>_:
he shall build
<01129> (8799)
my city
<05892>_,
and he shall let go
<07971> (8762)
my captives
<01546>_,
not for price
<04242>
nor reward
<07810>_,
saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_.
{direct: or, make straight}
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
The labour
<03018>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
and merchandise
<05505>
of Ethiopia
<03568>
and of the Sabeans
<05436>_,
men
<0582>
of stature
<04060>_,
shall come over
<05674> (8799)
unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall come
<03212> (8799)
after
<0310>
thee; in chains
<02131>
they shall come over
<05674> (8799)_,
and they shall fall down
<07812> (8691)
unto thee, they shall make supplication
<06419> (8691)
unto thee, [saying], Surely God
<0410>
[is] in thee; and [there is] none else, [there is] no
<0657>
God
<0430>_.
Verily
<0403>
thou [art] a God
<0410>
that hidest
<05641> (8693)
thyself, O God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
the Saviour
<03467> (8688)_.
They shall be ashamed
<0954> (8804)_,
and also confounded
<03637> (8738)_,
all of them: they shall go
<01980> (8804)
to confusion
<03639>
together
<03162>
[that are] makers
<02796>
of idols
<06736>_.
[But] Israel
<03478>
shall be saved
<03467> (8738)
in the LORD
<03068>
with an everlasting
<05769>
salvation
<08668>_:
ye shall not be ashamed
<0954> (8799)
nor confounded
<03637> (8735)
world
<05769>
without end
<05703>_.
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
that created
<01254> (8802)
the heavens
<08064>_;
God
<0430>
himself that formed
<03335> (8802)
the earth
<0776>
and made
<06213> (8802)
it; he hath established
<03559> (8790)
it, he created
<01254> (8804)
it not in vain
<08414>_,
he formed
<03335> (8804)
it to be inhabited
<03427> (8800)_:
I [am] the LORD
<03068>_;
and [there is] none else.
I have not spoken
<01696> (8765)
in secret
<05643>_,
in a dark
<02822>
place
<04725>
of the earth
<0776>_:
I said
<0559> (8804)
not unto the seed
<02233>
of Jacob
<03290>_,
Seek
<01245> (8761)
ye me in vain
<08414>_:
I the LORD
<03068>
speak
<01696> (8802)
righteousness
<06664>_,
I declare
<05046> (8688)
things that are right
<04339>_.
Assemble
<06908> (8734)
yourselves and come
<0935> (8798)_;
draw near
<05066> (8690)
together
<03162>_,
ye [that are] escaped
<06412>
of the nations
<01471>_:
they have no knowledge
<03045> (8804)
that set up
<05375> (8802)
the wood
<06086>
of their graven image
<06459>_,
and pray
<06419> (8693)
unto a god
<0410>
[that] cannot save
<03467> (8686)_.
Tell
<05046> (8685)
ye, and bring [them] near
<05066> (8685)_;
yea, let them take counsel
<03289> (8735)
together
<03162>_:
who hath declared
<08085> (8689)
this from ancient time
<06924>_?
[who] hath told
<05046> (8689)
it from that time? [have] not I the LORD
<03068>_?
and [there is] no God
<0430>
else beside
<01107>
me; a just
<06662>
God
<0410>
and a Saviour
<03467> (8688)_;
[there is] none
<0369>
beside
<02108>
me.
Look
<06437> (8798)
unto me, and be ye saved
<03467> (8734)_,
all the ends
<0657>
of the earth
<0776>_:
for I [am] God
<0410>_,
and [there is] none else.
I have sworn
<07650> (8738)
by myself, the word
<01697>
is gone out
<03318> (8804)
of my mouth
<06310>
[in] righteousness
<06666>_,
and shall not return
<07725> (8799)_,
That unto me every knee
<01290>
shall bow
<03766> (8799)_,
every tongue
<03956>
shall swear
<07650> (8735)_.
Surely, shall [one] say
<0559> (8804)_,
in the LORD
<03068>
have I righteousness
<06666>
and strength
<05797>_:
[even] to him shall [men] come
<0935> (8799)_;
and all that are incensed
<02734> (8737)
against him shall be ashamed
<0954> (8799)_.
{Surely...: or, Surely he shall say of me, In the LORD is all righteousness and strength} {righteousness: Heb. righteousnesses}
In the LORD
<03068>
shall all the seed
<02233>
of Israel
<03478>
be justified
<06663> (8799)_,
and shall glory
<01984> (8691)_.
Bel
<01078>
boweth down
<03766> (8804)_,
Nebo
<05015>
stoopeth
<07164> (8802)_,
their idols
<06091>
were upon the beasts
<02416>_,
and upon the cattle
<0929>_:
your carriages
<05385>
[were] heavy loaden
<06006> (8803)_;
[they are] a burden
<04853>
to the weary
<05889>
[beast].
They stoop
<07164> (8804)_,
they bow down
<03766> (8804)
together
<03162>_;
they could
<03201> (8804)
not deliver
<04422> (8763)
the burden
<04853>_,
but themselves
<05315>
are gone
<01980> (8804)
into captivity
<07628>_.
{themselves: Heb. their soul}
Hearken
<08085> (8798)
unto me, O house
<01004>
of Jacob
<03290>_,
and all the remnant
<07611>
of the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>_,
which are borne
<06006> (8803)
[by me] from the belly
<0990>_,
which are carried
<05375> (8803)
from the womb
<07356>_:
And [even] to [your] old age
<02209>
I [am] he; and [even] to hoar hairs
<07872>
will I carry
<05445> (8799)
[you]: I have made
<06213> (8804)_,
and I will bear
<05375> (8799)_;
even I will carry
<05445> (8799)_,
and will deliver
<04422> (8762)
[you].
To whom will ye liken
<01819> (8762)
me, and make [me] equal
<07737> (8686)_,
and compare
<04911> (8686)
me, that we may be like
<01819> (8799)_?
They lavish
<02107> (8801)
gold
<02091>
out of the bag
<03599>_,
and weigh
<08254> (8799)
silver
<03701>
in the balance
<07070>_,
[and] hire
<07936> (8799)
a goldsmith
<06884> (8802)_;
and he maketh
<06213> (8799)
it a god
<0410>_:
they fall down
<05456> (8799)_,
yea, they worship
<07812> (8691)_.
They bear
<05375> (8799)
him upon the shoulder
<03802>_,
they carry
<05445> (8799)
him, and set him in his place
<03240> (8686)_,
and he standeth
<05975> (8799)_;
from his place
<04725>
shall he not remove
<04185> (8686)_:
yea, [one] shall cry
<06817> (8799)
unto him, yet can he not answer
<06030> (8799)_,
nor save
<03467> (8686)
him out of his trouble
<06869>_.
Remember
<02142> (8798)
this, and shew yourselves men
<0377> (8695)_:
bring [it] again
<07725> (8685)
to mind
<03820>_,
O ye transgressors
<06586> (8802)_.
Remember
<02142> (8798)
the former things
<07223>
of old
<05769>_:
for I [am] God
<0410>_,
and [there is] none else; [I am] God
<0430>_,
and [there is] none
<0657>
like
<03644>
me,
Declaring
<05046> (8688)
the end
<0319>
from the beginning
<07225>_,
and from ancient times
<06924>
[the things] that are not [yet] done
<06213> (8738)_,
saying
<0559> (8802)_,
My counsel
<06098>
shall stand
<06965> (8799)_,
and I will do
<06213> (8799)
all my pleasure
<02656>_:
Calling
<07121> (8802)
a ravenous bird
<05861>
from the east
<04217>_,
the man
<0376>
that executeth my counsel
<06098>
from a far
<04801>
country
<0776>_:
yea, I have spoken
<01696> (8765)
[it], I will also bring
<0935> (8686)
it to pass; I have purposed
<03335> (8804)
[it], I will also do
<06213> (8799)
it. {that...: Heb. of my counsel}
Hearken
<08085> (8798)
unto me, ye stouthearted
<047> <03820>_,
that [are] far from
<07350>
righteousness
<06666>_:
I bring near
<07126> (8765)
my righteousness
<06666>_;
it shall not be far off
<07368> (8799)_,
and my salvation
<08668>
shall not tarry
<0309> (8762)_:
and I will place
<05414> (8804)
salvation
<08668>
in Zion
<06726>
for Israel
<03478>
my glory
<08597>_.
Come down
<03381> (8798)_,
and sit
<03427> (8798)
in the dust
<06083>_,
O virgin
<01330>
daughter
<01323>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
sit
<03427> (8798)
on the ground
<0776>_:
[there is] no throne
<03678>_,
O daughter
<01323>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>_:
for thou shalt no more
<03254> (8686)
be called
<07121> (8799)
tender
<07390>
and delicate
<06028>_.
Take
<03947> (8798)
the millstones
<07347>_,
and grind
<02912> (8798)
meal
<07058>_:
uncover
<01540> (8761)
thy locks
<06777>_,
make bare
<02834> (8798)
the leg
<07640>_,
uncover
<01540> (8761)
the thigh
<07785>_,
pass over
<05674> (8798)
the rivers
<05104>_.
Thy nakedness
<06172>
shall be uncovered
<01540> (8735)_,
yea, thy shame
<02781>
shall be seen
<07200> (8735)_:
I will take
<03947> (8799)
vengeance
<05359>_,
and I will not meet
<06293> (8799)
[thee as] a man
<0120>_.
[As for] our redeemer
<01350> (8802)_,
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
[is] his name
<08034>_,
the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>_.
Sit
<03427> (8798)
thou silent
<01748>_,
and get
<0935> (8798)
thee into darkness
<02822>_,
O daughter
<01323>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>_:
for thou shalt no more
<03254> (8686)
be called
<07121> (8799)_,
The lady
<01404>
of kingdoms
<04467>_.
I was wroth
<07107> (8804)
with my people
<05971>_,
I have polluted
<02490> (8765)
mine inheritance
<05159>_,
and given
<05414> (8799)
them into thine hand
<03027>_:
thou didst shew
<07760> (8804)
them no mercy
<07356>_;
upon the ancient
<02205>
hast thou very
<03966>
heavily
<03513> (8689)
laid thy yoke
<05923>_.
And thou saidst
<0559> (8799)_,
I shall be a lady
<01404>
for ever
<05769>_:
[so] that thou didst not lay
<07760> (8804)
these [things] to thy heart
<03820>_,
neither didst remember
<02142> (8804)
the latter end
<0319>
of it.
Therefore hear
<08085> (8798)
now this, [thou that art] given to pleasures
<05719>_,
that dwellest
<03427> (8802)
carelessly
<0983>_,
that sayest
<0559> (8802)
in thine heart
<03824>_,
I [am], and none else
<0657>
beside me; I shall not sit
<03427> (8799)
[as] a widow
<0490>_,
neither shall I know
<03045> (8799)
the loss of children
<07908>_:
But these two
<08147>
[things] shall come
<0935> (8799)
to thee in a moment
<07281>
in one
<0259>
day
<03117>_,
the loss of children
<07908>_,
and widowhood
<0489>_:
they shall come
<0935> (8804)
upon thee in their perfection
<08537>
for the multitude
<07230>
of thy sorceries
<03785>_,
[and] for the great
<03966>
abundance
<06109>
of thine enchantments
<02267>_.
For thou hast trusted
<0982> (8799)
in thy wickedness
<07451>_:
thou hast said
<0559> (8804)_,
None seeth
<07200> (8802)
me. Thy wisdom
<02451>
and thy knowledge
<01847>_,
it hath perverted
<07725> (8790)
thee; and thou hast said
<0559> (8799)
in thine heart
<03820>_,
I [am], and none else
<0657>
beside me. {perverted...: or, caused thee to turn away}
Therefore shall evil
<07451>
come
<0935> (8804)
upon thee; thou shalt not know
<03045> (8799)
from whence it riseth
<07837>_:
and mischief
<01943>
shall fall
<05307> (8799)
upon thee; thou shalt not be able
<03201> (8799)
to put it off
<03722> (8763)_:
and desolation
<07722>
shall come
<0935> (8799)
upon thee suddenly
<06597>_,
[which] thou shalt not know
<03045> (8799)_.
{from...: Heb. the morning thereof} {put: Heb. expiate}
Stand
<05975> (8798)
now with thine enchantments
<02267>_,
and with the multitude
<07230>
of thy sorceries
<03785>_,
wherein
<0834>
thou hast laboured
<03021> (8804)
from thy youth
<05271>_;
if so be thou shalt be able
<03201> (8799)
to profit
<03276> (8687)_,
if so be thou mayest prevail
<06206> (8799)_.
Thou art wearied
<03811> (8738)
in the multitude
<07230>
of thy counsels
<06098>_.
Let now the astrologers
<01895> (8802) <08064>_,
the stargazers
<02374> <03556>_,
the monthly
<02320>
prognosticators
<03045> (8688)_,
stand up
<05975> (8799)_,
and save
<03467> (8686)
thee from [these things] that shall come
<0935> (8799)
upon thee. {astrologers: Heb. viewers of the heavens} {the monthly...: Heb. that give knowledge concerning the months}
Behold, they shall be as stubble
<07179>_;
the fire
<0784>
shall burn
<08313> (8804)
them; they shall not deliver
<05337> (8686)
themselves
<05315>
from the power
<03027>
of the flame
<03852>_:
[there shall] not [be] a coal
<01513>
to warm
<02552> (8800)
at, [nor] fire
<0217>
to sit
<03427> (8800)
before it. {themselves: Heb. their souls}
Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured
<03021> (8804)_,
[even] thy merchants
<05503> (8802)_,
from thy youth
<05271>_:
they shall wander
<08582> (8804)
every one
<0376>
to his quarter
<05676>_;
none shall save
<03467> (8688)
thee.
Hear
<08085> (8798)
ye this, O house
<01004>
of Jacob
<03290>_,
which are called
<07121> (8737)
by the name
<08034>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and are come forth
<03318> (8804)
out of the waters
<04325>
of Judah
<03063>_,
which swear
<07650> (8737)
by the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and make mention
<02142> (8686)
of the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
[but] not in truth
<0571>_,
nor in righteousness
<06666>_.
For they call
<07121> (8738)
themselves of the holy
<06944>
city
<05892>_,
and stay
<05564> (8738)
themselves upon the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
The LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
[is] his name
<08034>_.
I have declared
<05046> (8689)
the former things
<07223>
from the beginning
<0227>_;
and they went forth
<03318> (8804)
out of my mouth
<06310>_,
and I shewed
<08085> (8686)
them; I did
<06213> (8804)
[them] suddenly
<06597>_,
and they came to pass
<0935> (8799)_.
Because I knew
<01847>
that thou [art] obstinate
<07186>_,
and thy neck
<06203>
[is] an iron
<01270>
sinew
<01517>_,
and thy brow
<04696>
brass
<05154>_;
{obstinate: Heb. hard}
I have even from the beginning
<0227>
declared
<05046> (8686)
[it] to thee; before it came to pass
<0935> (8799)
I shewed
<08085> (8689)
[it] thee: lest thou shouldest say
<0559> (8799)_,
Mine idol
<06090>
hath done
<06213> (8804)
them, and my graven image
<06459>_,
and my molten image
<05262>_,
hath commanded
<06680> (8765)
them.
Thou hast heard
<08085> (8804)_,
see
<02372> (8798)
all this; and will not ye declare
<05046> (8686)
[it]? I have shewed
<08085> (8689)
thee new things
<02319>
from this time
<06258>_,
even hidden things
<05341> (8803)_,
and thou didst not know
<03045> (8804)
them.
They are created
<01254> (8738)
now, and not from the beginning; even before
<06440>
the day
<03117>
when thou heardest
<08085> (8804)
them not; lest thou shouldest say
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, I knew
<03045> (8804)
them.
Yea, thou heardest
<08085> (8804)
not; yea, thou knewest
<03045> (8804)
not; yea, from that time [that] thine ear
<0241>
was not opened
<06605> (8765)_:
for I knew
<03045> (8804)
that thou wouldest deal very
<0898> (8800)
treacherously
<0898> (8799)_,
and wast called
<07121> (8795)
a transgressor
<06586> (8802)
from the womb
<0990>_.
For my name's
<08034>
sake will I defer
<0748> (8686)
mine anger
<0639>_,
and for my praise
<08416>
will I refrain
<02413> (8799)
for thee, that I cut thee not off
<03772> (8687)_.
Behold, I have refined
<06884> (8804)
thee, but not with silver
<03701>_;
I have chosen
<0977> (8804)
thee in the furnace
<03564>
of affliction
<06040>_.
{with...: or, for silver}
For mine own sake, [even] for mine own sake, will I do
<06213> (8799)
[it]: for how should [my name] be polluted
<02490> (8735)_?
and I will not give
<05414> (8799)
my glory
<03519>
unto another
<0312>_.
Hearken
<08085> (8798)
unto me, O Jacob
<03290>
and Israel
<03478>_,
my called
<07121> (8794)_;
I [am] he; I [am] the first
<07223>_,
I also [am] the last
<0314>_.
Mine hand
<03027>
also hath laid the foundation
<03245> (8804)
of the earth
<0776>_,
and my right hand
<03225>
hath spanned
<02946> (8765)
the heavens
<08064>_:
[when] I call
<07121> (8802)
unto them, they stand up
<05975> (8799)
together
<03162>_.
{my...: or, the palm of my right hand hath spread out}
All ye, assemble
<06908> (8734)
yourselves, and hear
<08085> (8798)_;
which among them hath declared
<05046> (8689)
these [things]? The LORD
<03068>
hath loved
<0157> (8804)
him: he will do
<06213> (8799)
his pleasure
<02656>
on Babylon
<0894>_,
and his arm
<02220>
[shall be on] the Chaldeans
<03778>_.
I, [even] I, have spoken
<01696> (8765)_;
yea, I have called
<07121> (8804)
him: I have brought
<0935> (8689)
him, and he shall make his way
<01870>
prosperous
<06743> (8689)_.
Come
<07126> (8798)
ye near
<07126> (8798)
unto me, hear
<08085> (8798)
ye this; I have not spoken
<01696> (8765)
in secret
<05643>
from the beginning
<07218>_;
from the time
<06256>
that it was, there [am] I: and now the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_,
and his Spirit
<07307>_,
hath sent
<07971> (8804)
me.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
thy Redeemer
<01350> (8802)_,
the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>_;
I [am] the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
which teacheth
<03925> (8764)
thee to profit
<03276> (8687)_,
which leadeth
<01869> (8688)
thee by the way
<01870>
[that] thou shouldest go
<03212> (8799)_.
O that
<03863>
thou hadst hearkened
<07181> (8689)
to my commandments
<04687>_!
then had thy peace
<07965>
been as a river
<05104>_,
and thy righteousness
<06666>
as the waves
<01530>
of the sea
<03220>_:
Thy seed
<02233>
also had been as the sand
<02344>_,
and the offspring
<06631>
of thy bowels
<04578>
like the gravel
<04579>
thereof; his name
<08034>
should not have been cut off
<03772> (8735)
nor destroyed
<08045> (8735)
from before
<06440>
me.
Go ye forth
<03318> (8798)
of Babylon
<0894>_,
flee
<01272> (8798)
ye from the Chaldeans
<03778>_,
with a voice
<06963>
of singing
<07440>
declare
<05046> (8685)
ye, tell
<08085> (8685)
this, utter
<03318> (8685)
it [even] to the end
<07097>
of the earth
<0776>_;
say
<0559> (8798)
ye, The LORD
<03068>
hath redeemed
<01350> (8804)
his servant
<05650>
Jacob
<03290>_.
And they thirsted
<06770> (8804)
not [when] he led
<03212> (8689)
them through the deserts
<02723>_:
he caused the waters
<04325>
to flow
<05140> (8689)
out of the rock
<06697>
for them: he clave
<01234> (8799)
the rock
<06697>
also, and the waters
<04325>
gushed out
<02100> (8799)_.
[There is] no peace
<07965>_,
saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
unto the wicked
<07563>_.
Listen
<08085> (8798)_,
O isles
<0339>_,
unto me; and hearken
<07181> (8685)_,
ye people
<03816>_,
from far
<07350>_;
The LORD
<03068>
hath called
<07121> (8804)
me from the womb
<0990>_;
from the bowels
<04578>
of my mother
<0517>
hath he made mention
<02142> (8689)
of my name
<08034>_.
And he hath made
<07760> (8799)
my mouth
<06310>
like a sharp
<02299>
sword
<02719>_;
in the shadow
<06738>
of his hand
<03027>
hath he hid
<02244> (8689)
me, and made
<07760> (8799)
me a polished
<01305> (8803)
shaft
<02671>_;
in his quiver
<0827>
hath he hid
<05641> (8689)
me;
And said
<0559> (8799)
unto me, Thou [art] my servant
<05650>_,
O Israel
<03478>_,
in whom I will be glorified
<06286> (8691)_.
Then I said
<0559> (8804)_,
I have laboured
<03021> (8804)
in vain
<07385>_,
I have spent
<03615> (8765)
my strength
<03581>
for nought
<08414>_,
and in vain
<01892>_:
[yet] surely
<0403>
my judgment
<04941>
[is] with the LORD
<03068>_,
and my work
<06468>
with my God
<0430>_.
{my work: or, my reward}
And now, saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
that formed
<03335> (8802)
me from the womb
<0990>
[to be] his servant
<05650>_,
to bring
<07725> (0)
Jacob
<03290>
again
<07725> (8788)
to him, Though Israel
<03478>
be not gathered
<0622> (8735)_,
yet shall I be glorious
<03513> (8735)
in the eyes
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and my God
<0430>
shall be my strength
<05797>_.
{Though...: or, That Israel may be gathered to him, and I may, etc}
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
It is a light thing
<07043> (8738)
that thou shouldest be my servant
<05650>
to raise up
<06965> (8687)
the tribes
<07626>
of Jacob
<03290>_,
and to restore
<07725> (8687)
the preserved
<05341> (8803) (8675) <05336>
of Israel
<03478>_:
I will also give
<05414> (8804)
thee for a light
<0216>
to the Gentiles
<01471>_,
that thou mayest be my salvation
<03444>
unto the end
<07097>
of the earth
<0776>_.
{It is...: or, Art thou lighter than that thou shouldest, etc} {preserved: or, desolations}
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
the Redeemer
<01350> (8802)
of Israel
<03478>_,
[and] his Holy One
<06918>_,
to him whom man
<05315>
despiseth
<0960>_,
to him whom the nation
<01471>
abhorreth
<08581> (8764)_,
to a servant
<05650>
of rulers
<04910> (8802)_,
Kings
<04428>
shall see
<07200> (8799)
and arise
<06965> (8804)_,
princes
<08269>
also shall worship
<07812> (8691)_,
because of the LORD
<03068>
that is faithful
<0539> (8737)_,
[and] the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and he shall choose
<0977> (8799)
thee. {whom man...: or, that is despised in soul}
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
In an acceptable
<07522>
time
<06256>
have I heard
<06030> (8804)
thee, and in a day
<03117>
of salvation
<03444>
have I helped
<05826> (8804)
thee: and I will preserve
<05341> (8799)
thee, and give
<05414> (8799)
thee for a covenant
<01285>
of the people
<05971>_,
to establish
<06965> (8687)
the earth
<0776>_,
to cause to inherit
<05157> (8687)
the desolate
<08074> (8802)
heritages
<05159>_;
{establish: or, raise up}
That thou mayest say
<0559> (8800)
to the prisoners
<0631> (8803)_,
Go forth
<03318> (8798)_;
to them that [are] in darkness
<02822>_,
Shew
<01540> (8734)
yourselves. They shall feed
<07462> (8799)
in the ways
<01870>_,
and their pastures
<04830>
[shall be] in all high places
<08205>_.
They shall not hunger
<07456> (8799)
nor thirst
<06770> (8799)_;
neither shall the heat
<08273>
nor sun
<08121>
smite
<05221> (8686)
them: for he that hath mercy
<07355> (8764)
on them shall lead
<05090> (8762)
them, even by the springs
<04002>
of water
<04325>
shall he guide
<05095> (8762)
them.
And I will make
<07760> (8804)
all my mountains
<02022>
a way
<01870>_,
and my highways
<04546>
shall be exalted
<07311> (8799)_.
Behold, these shall come
<0935> (8799)
from far
<07350>_:
and, lo, these from the north
<06828>
and from the west
<03220>_;
and these from the land
<0776>
of Sinim
<05515>_.
Sing
<07442> (8798)_,
O heavens
<08064>_;
and be joyful
<01523> (8798)_,
O earth
<0776>_;
and break forth
<06476> (8798)
into singing
<07440>_,
O mountains
<02022>_:
for the LORD
<03068>
hath comforted
<05162> (8765)
his people
<05971>_,
and will have mercy
<07355> (8762)
upon his afflicted
<06041>_.
But Zion
<06726>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
The LORD
<03068>
hath forsaken
<05800> (8804)
me, and my Lord
<0136>
hath forgotten
<07911> (8804)
me.
Can a woman
<0802>
forget
<07911> (8799)
her sucking child
<05764>_,
that she should not have compassion
<07355> (8763)
on the son
<01121>
of her womb
<0990>_?
yea, they may forget
<07911> (8799)_,
yet will I not forget
<07911> (8799)
thee. {that...: Heb. from having compassion}
Behold, I have graven
<02710> (8804)
thee upon the palms of [my] hands
<03709>_;
thy walls
<02346>
[are] continually
<08548>
before me.
Thy children
<01121>
shall make haste
<04116> (8765)_;
thy destroyers
<02040> (8764)
and they that made thee waste
<02717> (8688)
shall go forth
<03318> (8799)
of thee.
Lift up
<05375> (8798)
thine eyes
<05869>
round about
<05439>_,
and behold
<07200> (8798)_:
all these gather themselves together
<06908> (8738)_,
[and] come
<0935> (8804)
to thee. [As] I live
<02416>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
thou shalt surely clothe
<03847> (8799)
thee with them all, as with an ornament
<05716>_,
and bind
<07194> (8762)
them [on thee], as a bride
<03618>
[doeth].
For thy waste
<02723>
and thy desolate places
<08074> (8802)_,
and the land
<0776>
of thy destruction
<02035>_,
shall even now be too narrow
<03334> (8799)
by reason of the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)_,
and they that swallowed thee up
<01104> (8764)
shall be far away
<07368> (8804)_.
The children
<01121>
which thou shalt have, after thou hast lost
<07923>
the other, shall say
<0559> (8799)
again in thine ears
<0241>_,
The place
<04725>
[is] too strait
<06862>
for me: give
<05066> (8798)
place
<04725>
to me that I may dwell
<03427> (8799)_.
Then shalt thou say
<0559> (8804)
in thine heart
<03824>_,
Who hath begotten
<03205> (8804)
me these, seeing I have lost my children
<07921> (8803)_,
and am desolate
<01565>_,
a captive
<01540> (8802)_,
and removing to and fro
<05493> (8803)_?
and who hath brought up
<01431> (8765)
these? Behold, I was left
<07604> (8738)
alone; these, where
<0375>
[had] they [been]?
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_,
Behold, I will lift up
<05375> (8799)
mine hand
<03027>
to the Gentiles
<01471>_,
and set up
<07311> (8686)
my standard
<05251>
to the people
<05971>_:
and they shall bring
<0935> (8689)
thy sons
<01121>
in [their] arms
<02684>_,
and thy daughters
<01323>
shall be carried
<05375> (8735)
upon [their] shoulders
<03802>_.
{arms: Heb. bosom}
And kings
<04428>
shall be thy nursing fathers
<0539> (8802)_,
and their queens
<08282>
thy nursing mothers
<03243> (8688)_:
they shall bow down
<07812> (8691)
to thee with [their] face
<0639>
toward the earth
<0776>_,
and lick up
<03897> (8762)
the dust
<06083>
of thy feet
<07272>_;
and thou shalt know
<03045> (8804)
that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_:
for they shall not be ashamed
<0954> (8799)
that wait
<06960> (8802)
for me. {nursing fathers: Heb. nourishers} {queens: Heb. princesses}
Shall the prey
<04455>
be taken
<03947> (8714)
from the mighty
<01368>_,
or the lawful
<06662>
captive
<07628>
delivered
<04422> (8735)_?
{lawful...: Heb. captivity of the just}
But thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
Even the captives
<07628>
of the mighty
<01368>
shall be taken away
<03947> (8714)_,
and the prey
<04455>
of the terrible
<06184>
shall be delivered
<04422> (8735)_:
for I will contend
<07378> (8799)
with him that contendeth
<03401>
with thee, and I will save
<03467> (8686)
thy children
<01121>_.
{captives: Heb. captivity}
And I will feed
<0398> (8689)
them that oppress
<03238> (8688)
thee with their own flesh
<01320>_;
and they shall be drunken
<07937> (8799)
with their own blood
<01818>_,
as with sweet wine
<06071>_:
and all flesh
<01320>
shall know
<03045> (8804)
that I the LORD
<03068>
[am] thy Saviour
<03467> (8688)
and thy Redeemer
<01350> (8802)_,
the mighty One
<046>
of Jacob
<03290>_.
{sweet: or, new}
