Isaiah 41:1--44:22

41:1

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>_.

41:2

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}

41:3

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}

41:4

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.

41:5

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)_.

41:6

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}

41:7

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}

41:8

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)_.

41:9

[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)_.

41:10

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>_.

41:11

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}

41:12

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}

41:13

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.

41:14

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}

41:15

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}

41:16

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>_.

41:17

[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.

41:18

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>_.

41:19

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>_:

41:20

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.

41:21

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}

41:22

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}

41:23

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>_.

41:24

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}

41:25

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>_.

41:26

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>_.

41:27

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)_.

41:28

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}

41:29

Behold, they [are] all vanity
<0205>_;

their works
<04639>

[are] nothing
<0657>_:

their molten images
<05262>

[are] wind
<07307>

and confusion
<08414>_.

42:1

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>_.

42:2

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>_.

42:3

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}

42:4

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}

42:5

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:

42:6

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>_;

42:7

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>_.

42:8

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>_.

42:9

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.

42:10

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}

42:11

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>_.

42:12

Let them give
<07760> (8799)

glory
<03519>

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

and declare
<05046> (8686)

his praise
<08416>

in the islands
<0339>_.

42:13

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}

42:14

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}

42:15

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>_.

42:16

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}

42:17

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>_.

42:18

Hear
<08085> (8798)_,

ye deaf
<02795>_;

and look
<05027> (8685)_,

ye blind
<05787>_,

that ye may see
<07200> (8800)_.

42:19

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>_?

42:20

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.

42:21

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}

42:22

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}

42:23

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?}

42:24

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>_.

42:25

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>_.

43:1

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.

43:2

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.

43:3

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.

43:4

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}

43:5

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>_;

43:6

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>_;

43:7

[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.

43:8

Bring forth
<03318> (8685)

the blind
<05787>

people
<05971>

that have
<03426>

eyes
<05869>_,

and the deaf
<02795>

that have ears
<0241>_.

43:9

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>_.

43:10

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}

43:11

I, [even] I, [am] the LORD
<03068>_;

and beside
<01107>

me [there is] no saviour
<03467> (8688)_.

43:12

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>_.

43:13

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?}

43:14

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}

43:15

I [am] the LORD
<03068>_,

your Holy One
<06918>_,

the creator
<01254> (8802)

of Israel
<03478>_,

your King
<04428>_.

43:16

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>_;

43:17

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>_.

43:18

Remember
<02142> (8799)

ye not the former things
<07223>_,

neither consider
<0995> (8709)

the things of old
<06931>_.

43:19

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>_.

43:20

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}

43:21

This
<02098>

people
<05971>

have I formed
<03335> (8804)

for myself; they shall shew forth
<05608> (8762)

my praise
<08416>_.

43:22

But thou hast not called
<07121> (8804)

upon me, O Jacob
<03290>_;

but thou hast been weary
<03021> (8804)

of me, O Israel
<03478>_.

43:23

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}

43:24

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}

43:25

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>_.

43:26

Put me in remembrance
<02142> (8685)_:

let us plead
<08199> (8735)

together
<03162>_:

declare
<05608> (8761)

thou, that thou mayest be justified
<06663> (8799)_.

43:27

Thy first
<07223>

father
<01>

hath sinned
<02398> (8804)_,

and thy teachers
<03887> (8688)

have transgressed
<06586> (8804)

against me. {teachers: Heb. interpreters}

43:28

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}

44:1

Yet now hear
<08085> (8798)_,

O Jacob
<03290>

my servant
<05650>_;

and Israel
<03478>_,

whom I have chosen
<0977> (8804)_:

44:2

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)_.

44:3

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>_:

44:4

And they shall spring up
<06779> (8804)

[as] among
<0996>

the grass
<02682>_,

as willows
<06155>

by the water
<04325>

courses
<02988>_.

44:5

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>_.

44:6

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>_.

44:7

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.

44:8

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}

44:9

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}

44:10

Who hath formed
<03335> (8804)

a god
<0410>_,

or molten
<05258> (8804)

a graven image
<06459>

[that] is profitable
<03276> (8687)

for nothing
<01115>_?

44:11

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>_.

44:12

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}

44:13

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>_.

44:14

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}

44:15

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.

44:16

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>_:

44:17

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>_.

44:18

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}

44:19

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?}

44:20

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>_?

44:21

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.

44:22

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.
