Isaiah 41:1--63:19

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.

44:23

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>_.

44:24

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;

44:25

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)_;

44:26

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}

44:27

That saith
<0559> (8802)

to the deep
<06683>_,

Be dry
<02717> (8798)_,

and I will dry up
<03001> (8686)

thy rivers
<05104>_:

44:28

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)_.

45:1

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}

45:2

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>_:

45:3

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>_.

45:4

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.

45:5

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:

45:6

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.

45:7

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].

45:8

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.

45:9

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>_?

45:10

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)_?

45:11

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.

45:12

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)_.

45:13

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}

45:14

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>_.

45:15

Verily
<0403>

thou [art] a God
<0410>

that hidest
<05641> (8693)

thyself, O God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

the Saviour
<03467> (8688)_.

45:16

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>_.

45:17

[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>_.

45:18

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.

45:19

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>_.

45:20

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)_.

45:21

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.

45:22

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.

45:23

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)_.

45:24

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}

45:25

In the LORD
<03068>

shall all the seed
<02233>

of Israel
<03478>

be justified
<06663> (8799)_,

and shall glory
<01984> (8691)_.

46:1

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].

46:2

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}

46:3

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>_:

46:4

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].

46:5

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)_?

46:6

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)_.

46:7

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>_.

46:8

Remember
<02142> (8798)

this, and shew yourselves men
<0377> (8695)_:

bring [it] again
<07725> (8685)

to mind
<03820>_,

O ye transgressors
<06586> (8802)_.

46:9

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,

46:10

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>_:

46:11

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}

46:12

Hearken
<08085> (8798)

unto me, ye stouthearted
<047> <03820>_,

that [are] far from
<07350>

righteousness
<06666>_:

46:13

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>_.

47:1

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>_.

47:2

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>_.

47:3

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>_.

47:4

[As for] our redeemer
<01350> (8802)_,

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

[is] his name
<08034>_,

the Holy One
<06918>

of Israel
<03478>_.

47:5

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>_.

47:6

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>_.

47:7

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.

47:8

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>_:

47:9

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>_.

47:10

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}

47:11

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}

47:12

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)_.

47:13

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}

47:14

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}

47:15

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.

48:1

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>_.

48:2

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>_.

48:3

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)_.

48:4

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}

48:5

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.

48:6

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.

48:7

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.

48:8

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>_.

48:9

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)_.

48:10

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}

48:11

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>_.

48:12

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>_.

48:13

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}

48:14

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>_.

48:15

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)_.

48:16

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.

48:17

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)_.

48:18

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>_:

48:19

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.

48:20

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>_.

48:21

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)_.

48:22

[There is] no peace
<07965>_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

unto the wicked
<07563>_.

49:1

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>_.

49:2

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;

49:3

And said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, Thou [art] my servant
<05650>_,

O Israel
<03478>_,

in whom I will be glorified
<06286> (8691)_.

49:4

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}

49:5

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}

49:6

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}

49:7

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}

49:8

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}

49:9

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>_.

49:10

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.

49:11

And I will make
<07760> (8804)

all my mountains
<02022>

a way
<01870>_,

and my highways
<04546>

shall be exalted
<07311> (8799)_.

49:12

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>_.

49:13

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>_.

49:14

But Zion
<06726>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

The LORD
<03068>

hath forsaken
<05800> (8804)

me, and my Lord
<0136>

hath forgotten
<07911> (8804)

me.

49:15

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}

49:16

Behold, I have graven
<02710> (8804)

thee upon the palms of [my] hands
<03709>_;

thy walls
<02346>

[are] continually
<08548>

before me.

49:17

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.

49:18

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].

49:19

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)_.

49:20

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)_.

49:21

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]?

49:22

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}

49:23

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}

49:24

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}

49:25

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}

49:26

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}

50:1

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Where [is] the bill
<05612>

of your mother's
<0517>

divorcement
<03748>_,

whom I have put away
<07971> (8765)_?

or which of my creditors
<05383> (8802)

[is it] to whom I have sold
<04376> (8804)

you? Behold, for your iniquities
<05771>

have ye sold
<04376> (8738)

yourselves, and for your transgressions
<06588>

is your mother
<0517>

put away
<07971> (8795)_.

50:2

Wherefore, when I came
<0935> (8804)_,

[was there] no man
<0376>_?

when I called
<07121> (8804)_,

[was there] none to answer
<06030> (8802)_?

Is my hand
<03027>

shortened
<07114> (8804)

at all
<07114> (8800)_,

that it cannot redeem
<06304>_?

or have I no power
<03581>

to deliver
<05337> (8687)_?

behold, at my rebuke
<01606>

I dry up
<02717> (8686)

the sea
<03220>_,

I make
<07760> (8799)

the rivers
<05104>

a wilderness
<04057>_:

their fish
<01710>

stinketh
<0887> (8799)_,

because [there is] no water
<04325>_,

and dieth
<04191> (8799)

for thirst
<06772>_.

50:3

I clothe
<03847> (8686)

the heavens
<08064>

with blackness
<06940>_,

and I make
<07760> (8799)

sackcloth
<08242>

their covering
<03682>_.

50:4

The Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>

hath given
<05414> (8804)

me the tongue
<03956>

of the learned
<03928>_,

that I should know
<03045> (8800)

how to speak
<05790> (8800)

a word
<01697>

in season to [him that is] weary
<03287>_:

he wakeneth
<05782> (8686)

morning
<01242>

by morning
<01242>_,

he wakeneth
<05782> (8686)

mine ear
<0241>

to hear
<08085> (8800)

as the learned
<03928>_.

50:5

The Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>

hath opened
<06605> (8804)

mine ear
<0241>_,

and I was not rebellious
<04784> (8804)_,

neither turned away
<05472> (8738)

back
<0268>_.

50:6

I gave
<05414> (8804)

my back
<01460>

to the smiters
<05221> (8688)_,

and my cheeks
<03895>

to them that plucked off
<04803> (8802)

the hair: I hid
<05641> (8689)

not my face
<06440>

from shame
<03639>

and spitting
<07536>_.

50:7

For the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>

will help
<05826> (8799)

me; therefore shall I not be confounded
<03637> (8738)_:

therefore have I set
<07760> (8804)

my face
<06440>

like a flint
<02496>_,

and I know
<03045> (8799)

that I shall not be ashamed
<0954> (8799)_.

50:8

[He is] near
<07138>

that justifieth
<06663> (8688)

me; who will contend
<07378> (8799)

with me? let us stand
<05975> (8799)

together
<03162>_:

who [is] mine adversary
<01167> <04941>_?

let him come near
<05066> (8799)

to me. {mine...: Heb. the master of my cause?}

50:9

Behold, the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>

will help
<05826> (8799)

me; who [is] he [that] shall condemn
<07561> (8686)

me? lo, they all shall wax old
<01086> (8799)

as a garment
<0899>_;

the moth
<06211>

shall eat them up
<0398> (8799)_.

50:10

Who [is] among you that feareth
<03373>

the LORD
<03068>_,

that obeyeth
<08085> (8802)

the voice
<06963>

of his servant
<05650>_,

that walketh
<01980> (8804)

[in] darkness
<02825>_,

and hath no light
<05051>_?

let him trust
<0982> (8799)

in the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and stay
<08172> (8735)

upon his God
<0430>_.

50:11

Behold, all ye that kindle
<06919> (8802)

a fire
<0784>_,

that compass [yourselves] about
<0247> (8764)

with sparks
<02131>_:

walk
<03212> (8798)

in the light
<0217>

of your fire
<0784>_,

and in the sparks
<02131>

[that] ye have kindled
<01197> (8765)_.

This shall ye have of mine hand
<03027>_;

ye shall lie down
<07901> (8799)

in sorrow
<04620>_.

51:1

Hearken
<08085> (8798)

to me, ye that follow after
<07291> (8802)

righteousness
<06664>_,

ye that seek
<01245> (8764)

the LORD
<03068>_:

look
<05027> (8685)

unto the rock
<06697>

[whence] ye are hewn
<02672> (8795)_,

and to the hole
<04718>

of the pit
<0953>

[whence] ye are digged
<05365> (8795)_.

51:2

Look
<05027> (8685)

unto Abraham
<085>

your father
<01>_,

and unto Sarah
<08283>

[that] bare
<02342> (8787)

you: for I called
<07121> (8804)

him alone
<0259>_,

and blessed
<01288> (8762)

him, and increased
<07235> (8686)

him.

51:3

For the LORD
<03068>

shall comfort
<05162> (8765)

Zion
<06726>_:

he will comfort
<05162> (8765)

all her waste places
<02723>_;

and he will make
<07760> (8799)

her wilderness
<04057>

like Eden
<05731>_,

and her desert
<06160>

like the garden
<01588>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

joy
<08342>

and gladness
<08057>

shall be found
<04672> (8735)

therein, thanksgiving
<08426>_,

and the voice
<06963>

of melody
<02172>_.

51:4

Hearken
<07181> (8685)

unto me, my people
<05971>_;

and give ear
<0238> (8685)

unto me, O my nation
<03816>_:

for a law
<08451>

shall proceed
<03318> (8799)

from me, and I will make my judgment
<04941>

to rest
<07280> (8686)

for a light
<0216>

of the people
<05971>_.

51:5

My righteousness
<06664>

[is] near
<07138>_;

my salvation
<03468>

is gone forth
<03318> (8804)_,

and mine arms
<02220>

shall judge
<08199> (8799)

the people
<05971>_;

the isles
<0339>

shall wait
<06960> (8762)

upon me, and on mine arm
<02220>

shall they trust
<03176> (8762)_.

51:6

Lift up
<05375> (8798)

your eyes
<05869>

to the heavens
<08064>_,

and look
<05027> (8685)

upon the earth
<0776>

beneath: for the heavens
<08064>

shall vanish away
<04414> (8738)

like smoke
<06227>_,

and the earth
<0776>

shall wax old
<01086> (8799)

like a garment
<0899>_,

and they that dwell
<03427> (8802)

therein shall die
<04191> (8799)

in like
<03644>

manner
<03654>_:

but my salvation
<03444>

shall be for ever
<05769>_,

and my righteousness
<06666>

shall not be abolished
<02865> (8735)_.

51:7

Hearken
<08085> (8798)

unto me, ye that know
<03045> (8802)

righteousness
<06664>_,

the people
<05971>

in whose heart
<03820>

[is] my law
<08451>_;

fear
<03372> (8799)

ye not the reproach
<02781>

of men
<0582>_,

neither be ye afraid
<02865> (8735)

of their revilings
<01421>_.

51:8

For the moth
<06211>

shall eat them up
<0398> (8799)

like a garment
<0899>_,

and the worm
<05580>

shall eat
<0398> (8799)

them like wool
<06785>_:

but my righteousness
<06666>

shall be for ever
<05769>_,

and my salvation
<03444>

from generation
<01755>

to generation
<01755>_.

51:9

Awake
<05782> (8798)_,

awake
<05782> (8798)_,

put on
<03847> (8798)

strength
<05797>_,

O arm
<02220>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

awake
<05782> (8798)_,

as in the ancient
<06924>

days
<03117>_,

in the generations
<01755>

of old
<05769>_.

[Art] thou not it that hath cut
<02672> (8688)

Rahab
<07294>_,

[and] wounded
<02490> (8781)

the dragon
<08577>_?

51:10

[Art] thou not it which hath dried
<02717> (8688)

the sea
<03220>_,

the waters
<04325>

of the great
<07227>

deep
<08415>_;

that hath made
<07760> (8804)

the depths
<04615>

of the sea
<03220>

a way
<01870>

for the ransomed
<01350> (8803)

to pass over
<05674> (8800)_?

51:11

Therefore the redeemed
<06299> (8803)

of the LORD
<03068>

shall return
<07725> (8799)_,

and come
<0935> (8804)

with singing
<07440>

unto Zion
<06726>_;

and everlasting
<05769>

joy
<08057>

[shall be] upon their head
<07218>_:

they shall obtain
<05381> (8686)

gladness
<08342>

and joy
<08057>_;

[and] sorrow
<03015>

and mourning
<0585>

shall flee away
<05127> (8804)_.

51:12

I, [even] I, [am] he that comforteth
<05162> (8764)

you: who [art] thou, that thou shouldest be afraid
<03372> (8799)

of a man
<0582>

[that] shall die
<04191> (8799)_,

and of the son
<01121>

of man
<0120>

[which] shall be made
<05414> (8735)

[as] grass
<02682>_;

51:13

And forgettest
<07911> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>

thy maker
<06213> (8802)_,

that hath stretched forth
<05186> (8802)

the heavens
<08064>_,

and laid the foundations
<03245> (8801)

of the earth
<0776>_;

and hast feared
<06342> (8762)

continually
<08548>

every day
<03117>

because
<06440>

of the fury
<02534>

of the oppressor
<06693> (8688)_,

as if
<0834>

he were ready
<03559> (8790)

to destroy
<07843> (8687)_?

and where [is] the fury
<02534>

of the oppressor
<06693> (8688)_?

{were...: or, made himself ready}

51:14

The captive exile
<06808> (8802)

hasteneth
<04116> (8765)

that he may be loosed
<06605> (8736)_,

and that he should not die
<04191> (8799)

in the pit
<07845>_,

nor that his bread
<03899>

should fail
<02637> (8799)_.

51:15

But I [am] the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_,

that divided
<07280> (8802)

the sea
<03220>_,

whose waves
<01530>

roared
<01993> (8799)_:

The LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

[is] his name
<08034>_.

51:16

And I have put
<07760> (8799)

my words
<01697>

in thy mouth
<06310>_,

and I have covered
<03680> (8765)

thee in the shadow
<06738>

of mine hand
<03027>_,

that I may plant
<05193> (8800)

the heavens
<08064>_,

and lay the foundations
<03245> (8800)

of the earth
<0776>_,

and say
<0559> (8800)

unto Zion
<06726>_,

Thou [art] my people
<05971>_.

51:17

Awake
<05782> (8708)_,

awake
<05782> (8708)_,

stand up
<06965> (8798)_,

O Jerusalem
<03389>_,

which hast drunk
<08354> (8804)

at the hand
<03027>

of the LORD
<03068>

the cup
<03563>

of his fury
<02534>_;

thou hast drunken
<08354> (8804)

the dregs
<06907>

of the cup
<03563>

of trembling
<08653>_,

[and] wrung [them] out
<04680> (8804)_.

51:18

[There is] none to guide
<05095> (8764)

her among all the sons
<01121>

[whom] she hath brought forth
<03205> (8804)_;

neither [is there any] that taketh
<02388> (8688)

her by the hand
<03027>

of all the sons
<01121>

[that] she hath brought up
<01431> (8765)_.

51:19

These two
<08147>

[things] are come
<07122> (8802)

unto thee; who shall be sorry
<05110> (8799)

for thee? desolation
<07701>_,

and destruction
<07667>_,

and the famine
<07458>_,

and the sword
<02719>_:

by whom shall I comfort
<05162> (8762)

thee? {are...: Heb. happened} {destruction: Heb. breaking}

51:20

Thy sons
<01121>

have fainted
<05968> (8795)_,

they lie
<07901> (8804)

at the head
<07218>

of all the streets
<02351>_,

as a wild bull
<08377>

in a net
<04364>_:

they are full
<04392>

of the fury
<02534>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

the rebuke
<01606>

of thy God
<0430>_.

51:21

Therefore hear
<08085> (8798)

now this, thou afflicted
<06041>_,

and drunken
<07937> (8803)_,

but not with wine
<03196>_:

51:22

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

thy Lord
<0113>

the LORD
<03068>_,

and thy God
<0430>

[that] pleadeth
<07378> (8799)

the cause of his people
<05971>_,

Behold, I have taken out
<03947> (8804)

of thine hand
<03027>

the cup
<03563>

of trembling
<08653>_,

[even] the dregs
<06907>

of the cup
<03563>

of my fury
<02534>_;

thou shalt no more
<03254> (8686)

drink it again
<08354> (8800)_:

51:23

But I will put
<07760> (8804)

it into the hand
<03027>

of them that afflict
<03013> (8688)

thee; which have said
<0559> (8804)

to thy soul
<05315>_,

Bow down
<07812> (8798)_,

that we may go over
<05674> (8799)_:

and thou hast laid
<07760> (8799)

thy body
<01460>

as the ground
<0776>_,

and as the street
<02351>_,

to them that went over
<05674> (8802)_.

52:1

Awake
<05782> (8798)_,

awake
<05782> (8798)_;

put on
<03847> (8798)

thy strength
<05797>_,

O Zion
<06726>_;

put on
<03847> (8798)

thy beautiful
<08597>

garments
<0899>_,

O Jerusalem
<03389>_,

the holy
<06944>

city
<05892>_:

for henceforth there shall no more
<03254> (8686)

come
<0935> (8799)

into thee the uncircumcised
<06189>

and the unclean
<02931>_.

52:2

Shake
<05287> (8690)

thyself from the dust
<06083>_;

arise
<06965> (8798)_,

[and] sit down
<03427> (8798)_,

O Jerusalem
<03389>_:

loose
<06605> (8690)

thyself from the bands
<04147>

of thy neck
<06677>_,

O captive
<07628>

daughter
<01323>

of Zion
<06726>_.

52:3

For thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Ye have sold
<04376> (8738)

yourselves for nought
<02600>_;

and ye shall be redeemed
<01350> (8735)

without money
<03701>_.

52:4

For thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_,

My people
<05971>

went down
<03381> (8804)

aforetime
<07223>

into Egypt
<04714>

to sojourn
<01481> (8800)

there; and the Assyrian
<0804>

oppressed
<06231> (8804)

them without cause
<0657>_.

52:5

Now therefore, what have I here, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

that my people
<05971>

is taken away
<03947> (8795)

for nought
<02600>_?

they that rule
<04910> (8802)

over them make them to howl
<03213> (8686)_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_;

and my name
<08034>

continually
<08548>

every day
<03117>

[is] blasphemed
<05006> (8711)_.

52:6

Therefore my people
<05971>

shall know
<03045> (8799)

my name
<08034>_:

therefore [they shall know] in that day
<03117>

that I [am] he that doth speak
<01696> (8764)_:

behold, [it is] I.

52:7

How beautiful
<04998> (8773)

upon the mountains
<02022>

are the feet
<07272>

of him that bringeth good tidings
<01319> (8764)_,

that publisheth
<08085> (8688)

peace
<07965>_;

that bringeth good tidings
<01319> (8764)

of good
<02896>_,

that publisheth
<08085> (8688)

salvation
<03444>_;

that saith
<0559> (8802)

unto Zion
<06726>_,

Thy God
<0430>

reigneth
<04427> (8804)_!

52:8

Thy watchmen
<06822> (8802)

shall lift up
<05375> (8804)

the voice
<06963>_;

with the voice
<06963>

together
<03162>

shall they sing
<07442> (8762)_:

for they shall see
<07200> (8799)

eye
<05869>

to eye
<05869>_,

when the LORD
<03068>

shall bring again
<07725> (8800)

Zion
<06726>_.

52:9

Break forth into joy
<06476> (8798)_,

sing
<07442> (8761)

together
<03162>_,

ye waste places
<02723>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_:

for the LORD
<03068>

hath comforted
<05162> (8765)

his people
<05971>_,

he hath redeemed
<01350> (8804)

Jerusalem
<03389>_.

52:10

The LORD
<03068>

hath made bare
<02834> (8804)

his holy
<06944>

arm
<02220>

in the eyes
<05869>

of all the nations
<01471>_;

and all the ends
<0657>

of the earth
<0776>

shall see
<07200> (8804)

the salvation
<03444>

of our God
<0430>_.

52:11

Depart
<05493> (8798)

ye, depart
<05493> (8798)

ye, go ye out
<03318> (8798)

from thence, touch
<05060> (8799)

no unclean
<02931>

[thing]; go ye out
<03318> (8798)

of the midst
<08432>

of her; be ye clean
<01305> (8734)_,

that bear
<05375> (8802)

the vessels
<03627>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

52:12

For ye shall not go out
<03318> (8799)

with haste
<02649>_,

nor go
<03212> (8799)

by flight
<04499>_:

for the LORD
<03068>

will go
<01980> (8802)

before
<06440>

you; and the God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>

[will be] your rereward
<0622> (8764)_.

{be...: Heb. gather you up}

52:13

Behold, my servant
<05650>

shall deal prudently
<07919> (8686)_,

he shall be exalted
<07311> (8799)

and extolled
<05375> (8738)_,

and be very
<03966>

high
<01361> (8804)_.

{deal...: or, prosper}

52:14

As many
<07227>

were astonied
<08074> (8804)

at thee; his visage
<04758>

was so marred
<04893>

more than any man
<0376>_,

and his form
<08389>

more than the sons
<01121>

of men
<0120>_:

52:15

So shall he sprinkle
<05137> (8686)

many
<07227>

nations
<01471>_;

the kings
<04428>

shall shut
<07092> (8799)

their mouths
<06310>

at him: for [that] which had not been told
<05608> (8795)

them shall they see
<07200> (8804)_;

and [that] which they had not heard
<08085> (8804)

shall they consider
<0995> (8712)_.

53:1

Who hath believed
<0539> (8689)

our report
<08052>_?

and to whom is the arm
<02220>

of the LORD
<03068>

revealed
<01540> (8738)_?

{report: or, doctrine?: Heb. hearing?}

53:2

For he shall grow up
<05927> (8799)

before
<06440>

him as a tender plant
<03126>_,

and as a root
<08328>

out of a dry
<06723>

ground
<0776>_:

he hath no form
<08389>

nor comeliness
<01926>_;

and when we shall see
<07200> (8799)

him, [there is] no beauty
<04758>

that we should desire
<02530> (8799)

him.

53:3

He is despised
<0959> (8737)

and rejected
<02310>

of men
<0376>_;

a man
<0376>

of sorrows
<04341>_,

and acquainted
<03045> (8803)

with grief
<02483>_:

and we hid as it were
<04564> (8688)

[our] faces
<06440>

from him; he was despised
<0959> (8737)_,

and we esteemed
<02803> (8804)

him not. {we hid...: or, he hid as it were his face from us: Heb. as an hiding of faces from him, or, from us}

53:4

Surely
<0403>

he hath borne
<05375> (8804)

our griefs
<02483>_,

and carried
<05445> (8804)

our sorrows
<04341>_:

yet we did esteem
<02803> (8804)

him stricken
<05060> (8803)_,

smitten
<05221> (8716)

of God
<0430>_,

and afflicted
<06031> (8794)_.

53:5

But he [was] wounded
<02490> (8775)

for our transgressions
<06588>_,

[he was] bruised
<01792> (8794)

for our iniquities
<05771>_:

the chastisement
<04148>

of our peace
<07965>

[was] upon him; and with his stripes
<02250>

we are healed
<07495> (8738)_.

{wounded: or, tormented} {stripes: Heb. bruise}

53:6

All we like sheep
<06629>

have gone astray
<08582> (8804)_;

we have turned
<06437> (8804)

every one
<0376>

to his own way
<01870>_;

and the LORD
<03068>

hath laid
<06293> (8689)

on him the iniquity
<05771>

of us all. {laid...: Heb. made the iniquity of us all to meet on him}

53:7

He was oppressed
<05065> (8738)_,

and he was afflicted
<06031> (8737)_,

yet he opened
<06605> (8799)

not his mouth
<06310>_:

he is brought
<02986> (8714)

as a lamb
<07716>

to the slaughter
<02874>_,

and as a sheep
<07353>

before
<06440>

her shearers
<01494> (8802)

is dumb
<0481> (8738)_,

so he openeth
<06605> (8799)

not his mouth
<06310>_.

53:8

He was taken
<03947> (8795)

from prison
<06115>

and from judgment
<04941>_:

and who shall declare
<07878> (8787)

his generation
<01755>_?

for he was cut off
<01504> (8738)

out of the land
<0776>

of the living
<02416>_:

for the transgression
<06588>

of my people
<05971>

was he stricken
<05061>_.

{from prison...: or, away by distress and judgment: but, etc} {was he...: Heb. was the stroke upon him}

53:9

And he made
<05414> (8799)

his grave
<06913>

with the wicked
<07563>_,

and with the rich
<06223>

in his death
<04194>_;

because he had done
<06213> (8804)

no violence
<02555>_,

neither [was any] deceit
<04820>

in his mouth
<06310>_.

{death: Heb. deaths}

53:10

Yet it pleased
<02654> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

to bruise
<01792> (8763)

him; he hath put [him] to grief
<02470> (8689)_:

when thou shalt make
<07760> (8799)

his soul
<05315>

an offering for sin
<0817>_,

he shall see
<07200> (8799)

[his] seed
<02233>_,

he shall prolong
<0748> (8686)

[his] days
<03117>_,

and the pleasure
<02656>

of the LORD
<03068>

shall prosper
<06743> (8799)

in his hand
<03027>_.

{thou...: or, his soul shall make an offering}

53:11

He shall see
<07200> (8799)

of the travail
<05999>

of his soul
<05315>_,

[and] shall be satisfied
<07646> (8799)_:

by his knowledge
<01847>

shall my righteous
<06662>

servant
<05650>

justify
<06663> (8686)

many
<07227>_;

for he shall bear
<05445> (8799)

their iniquities
<05771>_.

53:12

Therefore will I divide
<02505> (8762)

him [a portion] with the great
<07227>_,

and he shall divide
<02505> (8762)

the spoil
<07998>

with the strong
<06099>_;

because he hath poured out
<06168> (8689)

his soul
<05315>

unto death
<04194>_:

and he was numbered
<04487> (8738)

with the transgressors
<06586> (8802)_;

and he bare
<05375> (8804)

the sin
<02399>

of many
<07227>_,

and made intercession
<06293> (8686)

for the transgressors
<06586> (8802)_.

54:1

Sing
<07442> (8798)_,

O barren
<06135>_,

thou [that] didst not bear
<03205> (8804)_;

break forth
<06476> (8798)

into singing
<07440>_,

and cry aloud
<06670> (8761)_,

thou [that] didst not travail with child
<02342> (8804)_:

for more
<07227>

[are] the children
<01121>

of the desolate
<08074> (8802)

than the children
<01121>

of the married wife
<01166> (8803)_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_.

54:2

Enlarge
<07337> (8685)

the place
<04725>

of thy tent
<0168>_,

and let them stretch forth
<05186> (8686)

the curtains
<03407>

of thine habitations
<04908>_:

spare
<02820> (8799)

not, lengthen
<0748> (8685)

thy cords
<04340>_,

and strengthen
<02388> (8761)

thy stakes
<03489>_;

54:3

For thou shalt break forth
<06555> (8799)

on the right hand
<03225>

and on the left
<08040>_;

and thy seed
<02233>

shall inherit
<03423> (8799)

the Gentiles
<01471>_,

and make the desolate
<08074> (8737)

cities
<05892>

to be inhabited
<03427> (8686)_.

54:4

Fear
<03372> (8799)

not; for thou shalt not be ashamed
<0954> (8799)_:

neither be thou confounded
<03637> (8735)_;

for thou shalt not be put to shame
<02659> (8686)_:

for thou shalt forget
<07911> (8799)

the shame
<01322>

of thy youth
<05934>_,

and shalt not remember
<02142> (8799)

the reproach
<02781>

of thy widowhood
<0491>

any more.

54:5

For thy Maker
<06213> (8802)

[is] thine husband
<01166> (8802)_;

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

[is] his name
<08034>_;

and thy Redeemer
<01350> (8802)

the Holy One
<06918>

of Israel
<03478>_;

The God
<0430>

of the whole earth
<0776>

shall he be called
<07121> (8735)_.

{Maker: Heb. Makers}

54:6

For the LORD
<03068>

hath called
<07121> (8804)

thee as a woman
<0802>

forsaken
<05800> (8803)

and grieved
<06087> (8803)

in spirit
<07307>_,

and a wife
<0802>

of youth
<05271>_,

when thou wast refused
<03988> (8735)_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

thy God
<0430>_.

54:7

For a small
<06996>

moment
<07281>

have I forsaken
<05800> (8804)

thee; but with great
<01419>

mercies
<07356>

will I gather
<06908> (8762)

thee.

54:8

In a little
<08241>

wrath
<07110>

I hid
<05641> (8689)

my face
<06440>

from thee for a moment
<07281>_;

but with everlasting
<05769>

kindness
<02617>

will I have mercy
<07355> (8765)

on thee, saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

thy Redeemer
<01350> (8802)_.

54:9

For this [is as] the waters
<04325>

of Noah
<05146>

unto me: for [as] I have sworn
<07650> (8738)

that the waters
<04325>

of Noah
<05146>

should no more go over
<05674> (8800)

the earth
<0776>_;

so have I sworn
<07650> (8738)

that I would not be wroth
<07107> (8800)

with thee, nor rebuke
<01605> (8800)

thee.

54:10

For the mountains
<02022>

shall depart
<04185> (8799)_,

and the hills
<01389>

be removed
<04131> (8799)_;

but my kindness
<02617>

shall not depart
<04185> (8799)

from thee, neither shall the covenant
<01285>

of my peace
<07965>

be removed
<04131> (8799)_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

that hath mercy
<07355> (8764)

on thee.

54:11

O thou afflicted
<06041>_,

tossed with tempest
<05590> (8802)_,

[and] not comforted
<05162> (8794)_,

behold, I will lay
<07257> (8688)

thy stones
<068>

with fair colours
<06320>_,

and lay thy foundations
<03245> (8804)

with sapphires
<05601>_.

54:12

And I will make
<07760> (8804)

thy windows
<08121>

of agates
<03539>_,

and thy gates
<08179>

of carbuncles
<068> <0688>_,

and all thy borders
<01366>

of pleasant
<02656>

stones
<068>_.

54:13

And all thy children
<01121>

[shall be] taught
<03928>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

and great
<07227>

[shall be] the peace
<07965>

of thy children
<01121>_.

54:14

In righteousness
<06666>

shalt thou be established
<03559> (8709)_:

thou shalt be far
<07368> (8798)

from oppression
<06233>_;

for thou shalt not fear
<03372> (8799)_:

and from terror
<04288>_;

for it shall not come near
<07126> (8799)

thee.

54:15

Behold, they shall surely
<01481> (8800)

gather together
<01481> (8799)_,

[but] not
<0657>

by me: whosoever
<04310>

shall gather together
<01481> (8804)

against thee shall fall
<05307> (8799)

for thy sake.

54:16

Behold, I have created
<01254> (8804)

the smith
<02796>

that bloweth
<05301> (8802)

the coals
<06352>

in the fire
<0784>_,

and that bringeth forth
<03318> (8688)

an instrument
<03627>

for his work
<04639>_;

and I have created
<01254> (8804)

the waster
<07843> (8688)

to destroy
<02254> (8763)_.

54:17

No weapon
<03627>

that is formed
<03335> (8714)

against thee shall prosper
<06743> (8799)_;

and every tongue
<03956>

[that] shall rise
<06965> (8799)

against thee in judgment
<04941>

thou shalt condemn
<07561> (8686)_.

This [is] the heritage
<05159>

of the servants
<05650>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and their righteousness
<06666>

[is] of me, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

55:1

Ho
<01945>_,

every one that thirsteth
<06771>_,

come
<03212> (8798)

ye to the waters
<04325>_,

and he that hath no money
<03701>_;

come
<03212> (8798)

ye, buy
<07666> (8798)_,

and eat
<0398> (8798)_;

yea, come
<03212> (8798)_,

buy
<07666> (8798)

wine
<03196>

and milk
<02461>

without money
<03701>

and without price
<04242>_.

55:2

Wherefore do ye spend
<08254> (8799)

money
<03701>

for [that which is] not bread
<03899>_?

and your labour
<03018>

for [that which] satisfieth
<07654>

not
<03808>_?

hearken
<08085> (8798)

diligently
<08085> (8800)

unto me, and eat
<0398> (8798)

ye [that which is] good
<02896>_,

and let your soul
<05315>

delight
<06026> (8691)

itself in fatness
<01880>_.

{spend: Heb. weigh}

55:3

Incline
<05186> (8685)

your ear
<0241>_,

and come
<03212> (8798)

unto me: hear
<08085> (8798)_,

and your soul
<05315>

shall live
<02421> (8799)_;

and I will make
<03772> (8799)

an everlasting
<05769>

covenant
<01285>

with you, [even] the sure
<0539> (8737)

mercies
<02617>

of David
<01732>_.

55:4

Behold, I have given
<05414> (8804)

him [for] a witness
<05707>

to the people
<03816>_,

a leader
<05057>

and commander
<06680> (8764)

to the people
<03816>_.

55:5

Behold, thou shalt call
<07121> (8799)

a nation
<01471>

[that] thou knowest
<03045> (8799)

not, and nations
<01471>

[that] knew
<03045> (8804)

not thee shall run
<07323> (8799)

unto thee because of the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_,

and for the Holy One
<06918>

of Israel
<03478>_;

for he hath glorified
<06286> (8765)

thee.

55:6

Seek
<01875> (8798)

ye the LORD
<03068>

while he may be found
<04672> (8736)_,

call
<07121> (8798)

ye upon him while he is near
<07138>_:

55:7

Let the wicked
<07563>

forsake
<05800> (8799)

his way
<01870>_,

and the unrighteous
<0205>

man
<0376>

his thoughts
<04284>_:

and let him return
<07725> (8799)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

and he will have mercy
<07355> (8762)

upon him; and to our God
<0430>_,

for he will abundantly
<07235> (8686)

pardon
<05545> (8800)_.

{the unrighteous...: Heb. the man of iniquity} {abundantly...: Heb. multiply to pardon}

55:8

For my thoughts
<04284>

[are] not your thoughts
<04284>_,

neither [are] your ways
<01870>

my ways
<01870>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

55:9

For [as] the heavens
<08064>

are higher
<01361> (8804)

than the earth
<0776>_,

so are my ways
<01870>

higher
<01361> (8804)

than your ways
<01870>_,

and my thoughts
<04284>

than your thoughts
<04284>_.

55:10

For as the rain
<01653>

cometh down
<03381> (8799)_,

and the snow
<07950>

from heaven
<08064>_,

and returneth
<07725> (8799)

not thither, but watereth
<07301> (8689)

the earth
<0776>_,

and maketh it bring forth
<03205> (8689)

and bud
<06779> (8689)_,

that it may give
<05414> (8804)

seed
<02233>

to the sower
<02232> (8802)_,

and bread
<03899>

to the eater
<0398> (8802)_:

55:11

So shall my word
<01697>

be that goeth forth
<03318> (8799)

out of my mouth
<06310>_:

it shall not return
<07725> (8799)

unto me void
<07387>_,

but it shall accomplish
<06213> (8804)

that which I please
<02654> (8804)_,

and it shall prosper
<06743> (8689)

[in the thing] whereto I sent
<07971> (8804)

it.

55:12

For ye shall go out
<03318> (8799)

with joy
<08057>_,

and be led forth
<02986> (8714)

with peace
<07965>_:

the mountains
<02022>

and the hills
<01389>

shall break forth
<06476> (8799)

before
<06440>

you into singing
<07440>_,

and all the trees
<06086>

of the field
<07704>

shall clap
<04222> (8799)

[their] hands
<03709>_.

55:13

Instead of the thorn
<05285>

shall come up
<05927> (8799)

the fir tree
<01265>_,

and instead of the brier
<05636>

shall come up
<05927> (8799)

the myrtle tree
<01918>_:

and it shall be to the LORD
<03068>

for a name
<08034>_,

for an everlasting
<05769>

sign
<0226>

[that] shall not be cut off
<03772> (8735)_.

56:1

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Keep
<08104> (8798)

ye judgment
<04941>_,

and do
<06213> (8798)

justice
<06666>_:

for my salvation
<03444>

[is] near
<07138>

to come
<0935> (8800)_,

and my righteousness
<06666>

to be revealed
<01540> (8736)_.

{judgment: or, equity}

56:2

Blessed
<0835>

[is] the man
<0582>

[that] doeth
<06213> (8799)

this, and the son
<01121>

of man
<0120>

[that] layeth hold
<02388> (8686)

on it; that keepeth
<08104> (8802)

the sabbath
<07676>

from polluting
<02490> (8763)

it, and keepeth
<08104> (8802)

his hand
<03027>

from doing
<06213> (8800)

any evil
<07451>_.

56:3

Neither let the son
<01121>

of the stranger
<05236>_,

that hath joined
<03867> (8738)

himself to the LORD
<03068>_,

speak
<0559> (8799)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The LORD
<03068>

hath utterly
<0914> (8687)

separated
<0914> (8686)

me from his people
<05971>_:

neither let the eunuch
<05631>

say
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold, I [am] a dry
<03002>

tree
<06086>_.

56:4

For thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

unto the eunuchs
<05631>

that keep
<08104> (8799)

my sabbaths
<07676>_,

and choose
<0977> (8804)

[the things] that please
<02654> (8804)

me, and take hold
<02388> (8688)

of my covenant
<01285>_;

56:5

Even unto them will I give
<05414> (8804)

in mine house
<01004>

and within my walls
<02346>

a place
<03027>

and a name
<08034>

better
<02896>

than of sons
<01121>

and of daughters
<01323>_:

I will give
<05414> (8799)

them an everlasting
<05769>

name
<08034>_,

that shall not be cut off
<03772> (8735)_.

56:6

Also the sons
<01121>

of the stranger
<05236>_,

that join
<03867> (8737)

themselves to the LORD
<03068>_,

to serve
<08334> (8763)

him, and to love
<0157> (8800)

the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

to be his servants
<05650>_,

every one that keepeth
<08104> (8802)

the sabbath
<07676>

from polluting
<02490> (8763)

it, and taketh hold
<02388> (8688)

of my covenant
<01285>_;

56:7

Even them will I bring
<0935> (8689)

to my holy
<06944>

mountain
<02022>_,

and make them joyful
<08055> (8765)

in my house
<01004>

of prayer
<08605>_:

their burnt offerings
<05930>

and their sacrifices
<02077>

[shall be] accepted
<07522>

upon mine altar
<04196>_;

for mine house
<01004>

shall be called
<07121> (8735)

an house
<01004>

of prayer
<08605>

for all people
<05971>_.

56:8

The Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>

which gathereth
<06908> (8764)

the outcasts
<01760> (8737)

of Israel
<03478>

saith
<05002> (8803)_,

Yet will I gather
<06908> (8762)

[others] to him, beside those that are gathered
<06908> (8737)

unto him. {beside...: Heb. to his gathered}

56:9

All ye beasts
<02416>

of the field
<07704>_,

come
<0857> (8798)

to devour
<0398> (8800)_,

[yea], all ye beasts
<02416>

in the forest
<03293>_.

56:10

His watchmen
<06822> (8802)

[are] blind
<05787>_:

they are all ignorant
<03045> (8804)_,

they [are] all dumb
<0483>

dogs
<03611>_,

they cannot
<03201> (8799)

bark
<05024> (8800)_;

sleeping
<01957> (8802)_,

lying down
<07901> (8802)_,

loving
<0157> (8802)

to slumber
<05123> (8800)_.

{sleeping: or, dreaming, or, talking in their sleep}

56:11

Yea, [they are] greedy
<05794> <05315>

dogs
<03611>

[which] can
<03045> (8804)

never have
<03045> (8804)

enough
<07654>_,

and they [are] shepherds
<07462> (8802)

[that] cannot understand
<0995> (8687)_:

they all look
<06437> (8804)

to their own way
<01870>_,

every one
<0376>

for his gain
<01215>_,

from his quarter
<07097>_.

{greedy: Heb. strong of appetite} {can...: Heb. know not to be satisfied}

56:12

Come
<0857> (8798)

ye, [say they], I will fetch
<03947> (8799)

wine
<03196>_,

and we will fill
<05433> (8799)

ourselves with strong drink
<07941>_;

and to morrow
<04279>

shall be as this day
<03117>_,

[and] much
<03966>

more
<03499>

abundant
<01419>_.

57:1

The righteous
<06662>

perisheth
<06> (8804)_,

and no man
<0376>

layeth
<07760> (8802)

[it] to heart
<03820>_:

and merciful
<02617>

men
<0582>

[are] taken away
<0622> (8737)_,

none considering
<0995> (8688)

that the righteous
<06662>

is taken away
<0622> (8738)

from
<06440>

the evil
<07451>

[to come]. {merciful...: Heb. men of kindness, or, godliness} {from...: or, from that which is evil}

57:2

He shall enter
<0935> (8799)

into peace
<07965>_:

they shall rest
<05117> (8799)

in their beds
<04904>_,

[each one] walking
<01980> (8802)

[in] his uprightness
<05228>_.

{enter into: or, go in} {in his...: or, before him}

57:3

But draw near
<07126> (8798)

hither, ye sons
<01121>

of the sorceress
<06049> (8781)_,

the seed
<02233>

of the adulterer
<05003> (8764)

and the whore
<02181> (8799)_.

57:4

Against whom do ye sport
<06026> (8691)

yourselves? against whom make ye a wide
<07337> (8686)

mouth
<06310>_,

[and] draw out
<0748> (8686)

the tongue
<03956>_?

[are] ye not children
<03206>

of transgression
<06588>_,

a seed
<02233>

of falsehood
<08267>_,

57:5

Enflaming
<02552> (8737)

yourselves with idols
<0410>

under every green
<07488>

tree
<06086>_,

slaying
<07819> (8802)

the children
<03206>

in the valleys
<05158>

under the clifts
<05585>

of the rocks
<05553>_?

{with...: or, among the oaks}

57:6

Among the smooth
<02511>

[stones] of the stream
<05158>

[is] thy portion
<02506>_;

they, they [are] thy lot
<01486>_:

even to them hast thou poured
<08210> (8804)

a drink offering
<05262>_,

thou hast offered
<05927> (8689)

a meat offering
<04503>_.

Should I receive comfort
<05162> (8735)

in these?

57:7

Upon a lofty
<01364>

and high
<05375> (8737)

mountain
<02022>

hast thou set
<07760> (8804)

thy bed
<04904>_:

even thither wentest thou up
<05927> (8804)

to offer
<02076> (8800)

sacrifice
<02077>_.

57:8

Behind
<0310>

the doors
<01817>

also and the posts
<04201>

hast thou set up
<07760> (8804)

thy remembrance
<02146>_:

for thou hast discovered
<01540> (8765)

[thyself to another] than me, and art gone up
<05927> (8799)_;

thou hast enlarged
<07337> (8689)

thy bed
<04904>_,

and made
<03772> (8799)

thee [a covenant] with them; thou lovedst
<0157> (8804)

their bed
<04904>

where
<03027>

thou sawest
<02372> (8804)

[it]. {made...: or, hewed it for thyself larger than theirs} {where...: or, thou providedst room}

57:9

And thou wentest
<07788> (8799)

to the king
<04428>

with ointment
<08081>_,

and didst increase
<07235> (8686)

thy perfumes
<07547>_,

and didst send
<07971> (8762)

thy messengers
<06735>

far off
<07350>_,

and didst debase
<08213> (8686)

[thyself even] unto hell
<07585>_.

{thou...: or, thou respectedst}

57:10

Thou art wearied
<03021> (8804)

in the greatness
<07230>

of thy way
<01870>_;

[yet] saidst
<0559> (8804)

thou not, There is no hope
<02976> (8737)_:

thou hast found
<04672> (8804)

the life
<02416>

of thine hand
<03027>_;

therefore thou wast not grieved
<02470> (8804)_.

{life: or, living}

57:11

And of whom hast thou been afraid
<01672> (8804)

or feared
<03372> (8799)_,

that thou hast lied
<03576> (8762)_,

and hast not remembered
<02142> (8804)

me, nor laid
<07760> (8804)

[it] to thy heart
<03820>_?

have not I held my peace
<02814> (8688)

even of old
<05769>_,

and thou fearest
<03372> (8799)

me not?

57:12

I will declare
<05046> (8686)

thy righteousness
<06666>_,

and thy works
<04639>_;

for they shall not profit
<03276> (8686)

thee.

57:13

When thou criest
<02199> (8800)_,

let thy companies
<06899>

deliver
<05337> (8686)

thee; but the wind
<07307>

shall carry them all away
<05375> (8799)_;

vanity
<01892>

shall take
<03947> (8799)

[them]: but he that putteth his trust
<02620> (8802)

in me shall possess
<05157> (8799)

the land
<0776>_,

and shall inherit
<03423> (8799)

my holy
<06944>

mountain
<02022>_;

57:14

And shall say
<0559> (8804)_,

Cast ye up
<05549> (8798)_,

cast ye up
<05549> (8798)_,

prepare
<06437> (8761)

the way
<01870>_,

take up
<07311> (8685)

the stumblingblock
<04383>

out of the way
<01870>

of my people
<05971>_.

57:15

For thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the high
<07311> (8802)

and lofty One
<05375> (8737)

that inhabiteth
<07931> (8802)

eternity
<05703>_,

whose name
<08034>

[is] Holy
<06918>_;

I dwell
<07931> (8799)

in the high
<04791>

and holy
<06918>

[place], with him also [that is] of a contrite
<01793>

and humble
<08217>

spirit
<07307>_,

to revive
<02421> (8687)

the spirit
<07307>

of the humble
<08217>_,

and to revive
<02421> (8687)

the heart
<03820>

of the contrite ones
<01792> (8737)_.

57:16

For I will not contend
<07378> (8799)

for ever
<05769>_,

neither will I be always
<05331>

wroth
<07107> (8799)_:

for the spirit
<07307>

should fail
<05848> (8799)

before
<06440>

me, and the souls
<05397>

[which] I have made
<06213> (8804)_.

57:17

For the iniquity
<05771>

of his covetousness
<01215>

was I wroth
<07107> (8804)_,

and smote
<05221> (8686)

him: I hid
<05641> (8687)

me, and was wroth
<07107> (8799)_,

and he went on
<03212> (8799)

frowardly
<07726>

in the way
<01870>

of his heart
<03820>_.

{frowardly: Heb. turning away}

57:18

I have seen
<07200> (8804)

his ways
<01870>_,

and will heal
<07495> (8799)

him: I will lead
<05148> (8686)

him also, and restore
<07999> (8762)

comforts
<05150>

unto him and to his mourners
<057>_.

57:19

I create
<01254> (8802)

the fruit
<05108>

of the lips
<08193>_;

Peace
<07965>_,

peace
<07965>

to [him that is] far off
<07350>_,

and to [him that is] near
<07138>_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

and I will heal
<07495> (8804)

him.

57:20

But the wicked
<07563>

[are] like the troubled
<01644> (8737)

sea
<03220>_,

when it cannot
<03201> (8799)

rest
<08252> (8687)_,

whose waters
<04325>

cast up
<01644> (8799)

mire
<07516>

and dirt
<02916>_.

57:21

[There is] no peace
<07965>_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

my God
<0430>_,

to the wicked
<07563>_.

58:1

Cry
<07121> (8798)

aloud
<01627>_,

spare
<02820> (8799)

not, lift
<07311> (8685)

up thy voice
<06963>

like a trumpet
<07782>_,

and shew
<05046> (8685)

my people
<05971>

their transgression
<06588>_,

and the house
<01004>

of Jacob
<03290>

their sins
<02403>_.

{aloud: Heb. with the throat}

58:2

Yet they seek
<01875> (8799)

me daily
<03117> <03117>_,

and delight
<02654> (8799)

to know
<01847>

my ways
<01870>_,

as a nation
<01471>

that did
<06213> (8804)

righteousness
<06666>_,

and forsook
<05800> (8804)

not the ordinance
<04941>

of their God
<0430>_:

they ask
<07592> (8799)

of me the ordinances
<04941>

of justice
<06664>_;

they take delight
<02654> (8799)

in approaching
<07132>

to God
<0430>_.

58:3

Wherefore have we fasted
<06684> (8804)_,

[say they], and thou seest
<07200> (8804)

not? [wherefore] have we afflicted
<06031> (8765)

our soul
<05315>_,

and thou takest no knowledge
<03045> (8799)_?

Behold, in the day
<03117>

of your fast
<06685>

ye find
<04672> (8799)

pleasure
<02656>_,

and exact
<05065> (8799)

all your labours
<06092>_.

{labours: or, things wherewith ye grieve others: Heb. griefs}

58:4

Behold, ye fast
<06684> (8799)

for strife
<07379>

and debate
<04683>_,

and to smite
<05221> (8687)

with the fist
<0106>

of wickedness
<07562>_:

ye shall not fast
<06684> (8799)

as [ye do this] day
<03117>_,

to make your voice
<06963>

to be heard
<08085> (8687)

on high
<04791>_.

{ye shall...: or, ye fast not as this day}

58:5

Is it such a fast
<06685>

that I have chosen
<0977> (8799)_?

a day
<03117>

for a man
<0120>

to afflict
<06031> (8763)

his soul
<05315>_?

[is it] to bow down
<03721> (8800)

his head
<07218>

as a bulrush
<0100>_,

and to spread
<03331> (8686)

sackcloth
<08242>

and ashes
<0665>

[under him]? wilt thou call
<07121> (8799)

this
<02088>

a fast
<06685>_,

and an acceptable
<07522>

day
<03117>

to the LORD
<03068>_?

{a day...: or, to afflict his soul for a day?}

58:6

[Is] not this the fast
<06685>

that I have chosen
<0977> (8799)_?

to loose
<06605> (8763)

the bands
<02784>

of wickedness
<07562>_,

to undo
<05425> (8687)

the heavy
<04133>

burdens
<092>_,

and to let the oppressed
<07533> (8803)

go
<07971> (8763)

free
<02670>_,

and that ye break
<05423> (8762)

every yoke
<04133>_?

{the heavy...: Heb. the bundles of the yoke} {oppressed: Heb. broken}

58:7

[Is it] not to deal
<06536> (8800)

thy bread
<03899>

to the hungry
<07457>_,

and that thou bring
<0935> (8686)

the poor
<06041>

that are cast out
<04788>

to thy house
<01004>_?

when thou seest
<07200> (8799)

the naked
<06174>_,

that thou cover
<03680> (8765)

him; and that thou hide
<05956> (8691)

not thyself from thine own flesh
<01320>_?

{cast...: or, afflicted}

58:8

Then shall thy light
<0216>

break forth
<01234> (8735)

as the morning
<07837>_,

and thine health
<0724>

shall spring forth
<06779> (8799)

speedily
<04120>_:

and thy righteousness
<06664>

shall go
<01980> (8804)

before
<06440>

thee; the glory
<03519>

of the LORD
<03068>

shall be thy rereward
<0622> (8799)_.

{be...: Heb. gather thee up}

58:9

Then shalt thou call
<07121> (8799)_,

and the LORD
<03068>

shall answer
<06030> (8799)_;

thou shalt cry
<07768> (8762)_,

and he shall say
<0559> (8799)_,

Here I [am]. If thou take away
<05493> (8686)

from the midst
<08432>

of thee the yoke
<04133>_,

the putting forth
<07971> (8800)

of the finger
<0676>_,

and speaking
<01696> (8763)

vanity
<0205>_;

58:10

And [if] thou draw out
<06329> (8686)

thy soul
<05315>

to the hungry
<07457>_,

and satisfy
<07646> (8686)

the afflicted
<06031> (8737)

soul
<05315>_;

then shall thy light
<0216>

rise
<02224> (8804)

in obscurity
<02822>_,

and thy darkness
<0653>

[be] as the noonday
<06672>_:

58:11

And the LORD
<03068>

shall guide
<05148> (8804)

thee continually
<08548>_,

and satisfy
<07646> (8689)

thy soul
<05315>

in drought
<06710>_,

and make fat
<02502> (8686)

thy bones
<06106>_:

and thou shalt be like a watered
<07302>

garden
<01588>_,

and like a spring
<04161>

of water
<04325>_,

whose waters
<04325>

fail
<03576> (8762)

not. {drought: Heb. droughts} {fail: Heb. lie, or, deceive}

58:12

And [they that shall be] of thee shall build
<01129> (8804)

the old
<05769>

waste places
<02723>_:

thou shalt raise up
<06965> (8787)

the foundations
<04146>

of many
<01755>

generations
<01755>_;

and thou shalt be called
<07121> (8795)_,

The repairer
<01443> (8802)

of the breach
<06556>_,

The restorer
<07725> (8789)

of paths
<05410>

to dwell in
<03427> (8800)_.

58:13

If thou turn away
<07725> (8686)

thy foot
<07272>

from the sabbath
<07676>_,

[from] doing
<06213> (8800)

thy pleasure
<02656>

on my holy
<06944>

day
<03117>_;

and call
<07121> (8804)

the sabbath
<07676>

a delight
<06027>_,

the holy
<06918>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

honourable
<03513> (8794)_;

and shalt honour
<03513> (8765)

him, not doing
<06213> (8800)

thine own ways
<01870>_,

nor finding
<04672> (8800)

thine own pleasure
<02656>_,

nor speaking
<01696> (8763)

[thine own] words
<01697>_:

58:14

Then shalt thou delight
<06026> (8691)

thyself in the LORD
<03068>_;

and I will cause thee to ride
<07392> (8689)

upon the high places
<01116>

of the earth
<0776>_,

and feed
<0398> (8689)

thee with the heritage
<05159>

of Jacob
<03290>

thy father
<01>_:

for the mouth
<06310>

of the LORD
<03068>

hath spoken
<01696> (8765)

[it].

59:1

Behold
<02005>_,

the LORD'S
<03068>

hand
<03027>

is not shortened
<07114> (8804)_,

that it cannot save
<03467> (8687)_;

neither his ear
<0241>

heavy
<03513> (8804)_,

that it cannot hear
<08085> (8800)_:

59:2

But your iniquities
<05771>

have separated
<0914> (8688)

between
<0996>

you and your God
<0430>_,

and your sins
<02403>

have hid
<05641> (8689)

[his] face
<06440>

from you, that he will not hear
<08085> (8800)_.

{have hid: or, have made him hide}

59:3

For your hands
<03709>

are defiled
<01351> (8738)

with blood
<01818>_,

and your fingers
<0676>

with iniquity
<05771>_;

your lips
<08193>

have spoken
<01696> (8765)

lies
<08267>_,

your tongue
<03956>

hath muttered
<01897> (8799)

perverseness
<05766>_.

59:4

None calleth
<07121> (8802)

for justice
<06664>_,

nor [any] pleadeth
<08199> (8737)

for truth
<0530>_:

they trust
<0982> (8800)

in vanity
<08414>_,

and speak
<01696> (8763)

lies
<07723>_;

they conceive
<02029> (8800)

mischief
<05999>_,

and bring forth
<03205> (8687)

iniquity
<0205>_.

59:5

They hatch
<01234> (8765)

cockatrice
<06848>_'

eggs
<01000>_,

and weave
<0707> (8799)

the spider's
<05908>

web
<06980>_:

he that eateth
<0398> (8802)

of their eggs
<01000>

dieth
<04191> (8799)_,

and that which is crushed
<02116>

breaketh out
<01234> (8735)

into a viper
<0660>_.

{cockatrice': or, adder's} {crushed...: or, sprinkled is as if there brake out a viper}

59:6

Their webs
<06980>

shall not become garments
<0899>_,

neither shall they cover
<03680> (8691)

themselves with their works
<04639>_:

their works
<04639>

[are] works
<04639>

of iniquity
<0205>_,

and the act
<06467>

of violence
<02555>

[is] in their hands
<03709>_.

59:7

Their feet
<07272>

run
<07323> (8799)

to evil
<07451>_,

and they make haste
<04116> (8762)

to shed
<08210> (8800)

innocent
<05355>

blood
<01818>_:

their thoughts
<04284>

[are] thoughts
<04284>

of iniquity
<0205>_;

wasting
<07701>

and destruction
<07667>

[are] in their paths
<04546>_.

{destruction: Heb. breaking}

59:8

The way
<01870>

of peace
<07965>

they know
<03045> (8804)

not; and [there is] no judgment
<04941>

in their goings
<04570>_:

they have made them crooked
<06140> (8765)

paths
<05410>_:

whosoever goeth
<01869> (8802)

therein shall not know
<03045> (8804)

peace
<07965>_.

{judgment: or, right}

59:9

Therefore is judgment
<04941>

far
<07368> (8804)

from us, neither doth justice
<06666>

overtake
<05381> (8686)

us: we wait
<06960> (8762)

for light
<0216>_,

but behold obscurity
<02822>_;

for brightness
<05054>_,

[but] we walk
<01980> (8762)

in darkness
<0653>_.

59:10

We grope
<01659> (8762)

for the wall
<07023>

like the blind
<05787>_,

and we grope
<01659> (8762)

as if [we had] no eyes
<05869>_:

we stumble
<03782> (8804)

at noonday
<06672>

as in the night
<05399>_;

[we are] in desolate
<0820>

places as dead
<04191> (8801)

[men].

59:11

We roar
<01993> (8799)

all like bears
<01677>_,

and mourn
<01897> (8799)

sore
<01897> (8800)

like doves
<03123>_:

we look
<06960> (8762)

for judgment
<04941>_,

but [there is] none; for salvation
<03444>_,

[but] it is far off
<07368> (8804)

from us.

59:12

For our transgressions
<06588>

are multiplied
<07231> (8804)

before thee, and our sins
<02403>

testify
<06030> (8804)

against us: for our transgressions
<06588>

[are] with us; and [as for] our iniquities
<05771>_,

we know
<03045> (8804)

them;

59:13

In transgressing
<06586> (8800)

and lying
<03584> (8763)

against the LORD
<03068>_,

and departing away
<05253> (8800)

from
<0310>

our God
<0430>_,

speaking
<01696> (8763)

oppression
<06233>

and revolt
<05627>_,

conceiving
<02029> (8780)

and uttering
<01897> (8774)

from the heart
<03820>

words
<01697>

of falsehood
<08267>_.

59:14

And judgment
<04941>

is turned away
<05253> (8717)

backward
<0268>_,

and justice
<06666>

standeth
<05975> (8799)

afar off
<07350>_:

for truth
<0571>

is fallen
<03782> (8804)

in the street
<07339>_,

and equity
<05229>

cannot
<03201> (8799)

enter
<0935> (8800)_.

59:15

Yea, truth
<0571>

faileth
<05737> (8737)_;

and he [that] departeth
<05493> (8804)

from evil
<07451>

maketh himself a prey
<07997> (8711)_:

and the LORD
<03068>

saw
<07200> (8799)

[it], and it displeased
<03415> (8799) <05869>

him that [there was] no judgment
<04941>_.

{maketh...: or, is accounted mad} {it displeased...: Heb. it was evil in his eyes}

59:16

And he saw
<07200> (8799)

that [there was] no man
<0376>_,

and wondered
<08074> (8709)

that [there was] no intercessor
<06293> (8688)_:

therefore his arm
<02220>

brought salvation
<03467> (8686)

unto him; and his righteousness
<06666>_,

it sustained
<05564> (8804)

him.

59:17

For he put on
<03847> (8799)

righteousness
<06666>

as a breastplate
<08302>_,

and an helmet
<03553>

of salvation
<03444>

upon his head
<07218>_;

and he put on
<03847> (8799)

the garments
<0899>

of vengeance
<05359>

[for] clothing
<08516>_,

and was clad
<05844> (8799)

with zeal
<07068>

as a cloke
<04598>_.

59:18

According to
<05921>

[their] deeds
<01578>_,

accordingly he will repay
<07999> (8762)_,

fury
<02534>

to his adversaries
<06862>_,

recompence
<01576>

to his enemies
<0341> (8802)_;

to the islands
<0339>

he will repay
<07999> (8762)

recompence
<01576>_.

{deeds: Heb. recompences}

59:19

So shall they fear
<03372> (8799)

the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>

from the west
<04628>_,

and his glory
<03519>

from the rising
<04217>

of the sun
<08121>_.

When the enemy
<06862>

shall come in
<0935> (8799)

like a flood
<05104>_,

the Spirit
<07307>

of the LORD
<03068>

shall lift up a standard
<05127> (8790)

against him. {lift...: or, put him to flight}

59:20

And the Redeemer
<01350> (8802)

shall come
<0935> (8804)

to Zion
<06726>_,

and unto them that turn
<07725> (8802)

from transgression
<06588>

in Jacob
<03290>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

59:21

As for me, this [is] my covenant
<01285>

with them, saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

My spirit
<07307>

that [is] upon thee, and my words
<01697>

which I have put
<07760> (8804)

in thy mouth
<06310>_,

shall not depart
<04185> (8799)

out of thy mouth
<06310>_,

nor out of the mouth
<06310>

of thy seed
<02233>_,

nor out of the mouth
<06310>

of thy seed's
<02233>

seed
<02233>_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

from henceforth and for
<05704>

ever
<05769>_.

60:1

Arise
<06965> (8798)_,

shine
<0215> (8798)_;

for thy light
<0216>

is come
<0935> (8804)_,

and the glory
<03519>

of the LORD
<03068>

is risen
<02224> (8804)

upon thee. {shine...: or, be enlightened; for thy light cometh}

60:2

For, behold, the darkness
<02822>

shall cover
<03680> (8762)

the earth
<0776>_,

and gross darkness
<06205>

the people
<03816>_:

but the LORD
<03068>

shall arise
<02224> (8799)

upon thee, and his glory
<03519>

shall be seen
<07200> (8735)

upon thee.

60:3

And the Gentiles
<01471>

shall come
<01980> (8804)

to thy light
<0216>_,

and kings
<04428>

to the brightness
<05051>

of thy rising
<02225>_.

60:4

Lift up
<05375> (8798)

thine eyes
<05869>

round about
<05439>_,

and see
<07200> (8798)_:

all they gather themselves together
<06908> (8738)_,

they come
<0935> (8804)

to thee: thy sons
<01121>

shall come
<0935> (8799)

from far
<07350>_,

and thy daughters
<01323>

shall be nursed
<0539> (8735)

at [thy] side
<06654>_.

60:5

Then thou shalt see
<07200> (8799) (8675) <03372> (8799)_,

and flow together
<05102> (8804)_,

and thine heart
<03824>

shall fear
<06342> (8804)_,

and be enlarged
<07337> (8804)_;

because the abundance
<01995>

of the sea
<03220>

shall be converted
<02015> (8735)

unto thee, the forces
<02428>

of the Gentiles
<01471>

shall come
<0935> (8799)

unto thee. {abundance...: or, noise of the sea shall be turned toward thee} {forces: or, wealth}

60:6

The multitude
<08229>

of camels
<01581>

shall cover
<03680> (8762)

thee, the dromedaries
<01070>

of Midian
<04080>

and Ephah
<05891>_;

all they from Sheba
<07614>

shall come
<0935> (8799)_:

they shall bring
<05375> (8799)

gold
<02091>

and incense
<03828>_;

and they shall shew forth
<01319> (8762)

the praises
<08416>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

60:7

All the flocks
<06629>

of Kedar
<06938>

shall be gathered together
<06908> (8735)

unto thee, the rams
<0352>

of Nebaioth
<05032>

shall minister
<08334> (8762)

unto thee: they shall come up
<05927> (8799)

with acceptance
<07522>

on mine altar
<04196>_,

and I will glorify
<06286> (8762)

the house
<01004>

of my glory
<08597>_.

60:8

Who [are] these [that] fly
<05774> (8799)

as a cloud
<05645>_,

and as the doves
<03123>

to their windows
<0699>_?

60:9

Surely the isles
<0339>

shall wait
<06960> (8762)

for me, and the ships
<0591>

of Tarshish
<08659>

first
<07223>_,

to bring
<0935> (8687)

thy sons
<01121>

from far
<07350>_,

their silver
<03701>

and their gold
<02091>

with them, unto the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_,

and to the Holy One
<06918>

of Israel
<03478>_,

because he hath glorified
<06286> (8765)

thee.

60:10

And the sons
<01121>

of strangers
<05236>

shall build up
<01129> (8804)

thy walls
<02346>_,

and their kings
<04428>

shall minister
<08334> (8762)

unto thee: for in my wrath
<07110>

I smote
<05221> (8689)

thee, but in my favour
<07522>

have I had mercy
<07355> (8765)

on thee.

60:11

Therefore thy gates
<08179>

shall be open
<06605> (8765)

continually
<08548>_;

they shall not be shut
<05462> (8735)

day
<03119>

nor night
<03915>_;

that [men] may bring
<0935> (8687)

unto thee the forces
<02428>

of the Gentiles
<01471>_,

and [that] their kings
<04428>

[may be] brought
<05090> (8803)_.

{forces: or, wealth}

60:12

For the nation
<01471>

and kingdom
<04467>

that will not serve
<05647> (8799)

thee shall perish
<06> (8799)_;

yea, [those] nations
<01471>

shall be utterly
<02717> (8800)

wasted
<02717> (8799)_.

60:13

The glory
<03519>

of Lebanon
<03844>

shall come
<0935> (8799)

unto thee, the fir tree
<01265>_,

the pine tree
<08410>_,

and the box
<08391>

together
<03162>_,

to beautify
<06286> (8763)

the place
<04725>

of my sanctuary
<04720>_;

and I will make the place
<04725>

of my feet
<07272>

glorious
<03513> (8762)_.

60:14

The sons
<01121>

also of them that afflicted
<06031> (8764)

thee shall come
<01980> (8804)

bending
<07817> (8800)

unto thee; and all they that despised
<05006> (8764)

thee shall bow themselves down
<07812> (8694)

at the soles
<03709>

of thy feet
<07272>_;

and they shall call
<07121> (8804)

thee, The city
<05892>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

The Zion
<06726>

of the Holy One
<06918>

of Israel
<03478>_.

60:15

Whereas
<08478>

thou hast been forsaken
<05800> (8803)

and hated
<08130> (8803)_,

so that no man went through
<05674> (8802)

[thee], I will make
<07760> (8804)

thee an eternal
<05769>

excellency
<01347>_,

a joy
<04885>

of many
<01755>

generations
<01755>_.

60:16

Thou shalt also suck
<03243> (8804)

the milk
<02461>

of the Gentiles
<01471>_,

and shalt suck
<03243> (8799)

the breast
<07699>

of kings
<04428>_:

and thou shalt 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>_.

60:17

For brass
<05178>

I will bring
<0935> (8686)

gold
<02091>_,

and for iron
<01270>

I will bring
<0935> (8686)

silver
<03701>_,

and for wood
<06086>

brass
<05178>_,

and for stones
<068>

iron
<01270>_:

I will also make
<07760> (8804)

thy officers
<06486>

peace
<07965>_,

and thine exactors
<05065> (8802)

righteousness
<06666>_.

60:18

Violence
<02555>

shall no more be heard
<08085> (8735)

in thy land
<0776>_,

wasting
<07701>

nor destruction
<07667>

within thy borders
<01366>_;

but thou shalt call
<07121> (8804)

thy walls
<02346>

Salvation
<03444>_,

and thy gates
<08179>

Praise
<08416>_.

60:19

The sun
<08121>

shall be no more thy light
<0216>

by day
<03119>_;

neither for brightness
<05051>

shall the moon
<03394>

give light
<0216>

unto thee: but the LORD
<03068>

shall be unto thee an everlasting
<05769>

light
<0215> (8686)_,

and thy God
<0430>

thy glory
<08597>_.

60:20

Thy sun
<08121>

shall no more go down
<0935> (8799)_;

neither shall thy moon
<03391>

withdraw
<0622> (8735)

itself: for the LORD
<03068>

shall be thine everlasting
<05769>

light
<0216>_,

and the days
<03117>

of thy mourning
<060>

shall be ended
<07999> (8804)_.

60:21

Thy people
<05971>

also [shall be] all righteous
<06662>_:

they shall inherit
<03423> (8799)

the land
<0776>

for ever
<05769>_,

the branch
<05342>

of my planting
<04302>_,

the work
<04639>

of my hands
<03027>_,

that I may be glorified
<06286> (8692)_.

60:22

A little one
<06996>

shall become a thousand
<0505>_,

and a small one
<06810>

a strong
<06099>

nation
<01471>_:

I the LORD
<03068>

will hasten
<02363> (8686)

it in his time
<06256>_.

61:1

The Spirit
<07307>

of the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>

[is] upon me; because the LORD
<03068>

hath anointed
<04886> (8804)

me to preach good tidings
<01319> (8763)

unto the meek
<06035>_;

he hath sent
<07971> (8804)

me to bind up
<02280> (8800)

the brokenhearted
<07665> (8737) <03820>_,

to proclaim
<07121> (8800)

liberty
<01865>

to the captives
<07617> (8803)_,

and the opening of the prison
<06495>

to [them that are] bound
<0631> (8803)_;

61:2

To proclaim
<07121> (8800)

the acceptable
<07522>

year
<08141>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and the day
<03117>

of vengeance
<05359>

of our God
<0430>_;

to comfort
<05162> (8763)

all that mourn
<057>_;

61:3

To appoint
<07760> (8800)

unto them that mourn
<057>

in Zion
<06726>_,

to give
<05414> (8800)

unto them beauty
<06287>

for ashes
<0665>_,

the oil
<08081>

of joy
<08342>

for mourning
<060>_,

the garment
<04594>

of praise
<08416>

for the spirit
<07307>

of heaviness
<03544>_;

that they might be called
<07121> (8795)

trees
<0352>

of righteousness
<06664>_,

the planting
<04302>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

that he might be glorified
<06286> (8692)_.

61:4

And they shall build
<01129> (8804)

the old
<05769>

wastes
<02723>_,

they shall raise up
<06965> (8787)

the former
<07223>

desolations
<08074> (8802)_,

and they shall repair
<02318> (8765)

the waste
<02721>

cities
<05892>_,

the desolations
<08074> (8802)

of many
<01755>

generations
<01755>_.

61:5

And strangers
<02114> (8801)

shall stand
<05975> (8804)

and feed
<07462> (8804)

your flocks
<06629>_,

and the sons
<01121>

of the alien
<05236>

[shall be] your plowmen
<0406>

and your vinedressers
<03755>_.

61:6

But ye shall be named
<07121> (8735)

the Priests
<03548>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

[men] shall call
<0559> (8735)

you the Ministers
<08334> (8764)

of our God
<0430>_:

ye shall eat
<0398> (8799)

the riches
<02428>

of the Gentiles
<01471>_,

and in their glory
<03519>

shall ye boast
<03235> (8691)

yourselves.

61:7

For your shame
<01322>

[ye shall have] double
<04932>_;

and [for] confusion
<03639>

they shall rejoice
<07442> (8799)

in their portion
<02506>_:

therefore in their land
<0776>

they shall possess
<03423> (8799)

the double
<04932>_:

everlasting
<05769>

joy
<08057>

shall be unto them.

61:8

For I the LORD
<03068>

love
<0157> (8802)

judgment
<04941>_,

I hate
<08130> (8802)

robbery
<01498>

for burnt offering
<05930>_;

and I will direct
<05414> (8804)

their work
<06468>

in truth
<0571>_,

and I will make
<03772> (8799)

an everlasting
<05769>

covenant
<01285>

with them.

61:9

And their seed
<02233>

shall be known
<03045> (8738)

among the Gentiles
<01471>_,

and their offspring
<06631>

among
<08432>

the people
<05971>_:

all that see
<07200> (8802)

them shall acknowledge
<05234> (8686)

them, that they [are] the seed
<02233>

[which] the LORD
<03068>

hath blessed
<01288> (8765)_.

61:10

I will greatly
<07797> (8800)

rejoice
<07797> (8799)

in the LORD
<03068>_,

my soul
<05315>

shall be joyful
<01523> (8799)

in my God
<0430>_;

for he hath clothed
<03847> (8689)

me with the garments
<0899>

of salvation
<03468>_,

he hath covered
<03271> (8804)

me with the robe
<04598>

of righteousness
<06666>_,

as a bridegroom
<02860>

decketh
<03547> (8762)

[himself] with ornaments
<06287>_,

and as a bride
<03618>

adorneth
<05710> (8799)

[herself] with her jewels
<03627>_.

{decketh: Heb. decketh as a priest}

61:11

For as the earth
<0776>

bringeth forth
<03318> (8686)

her bud
<06780>_,

and as the garden
<01593>

causeth the things that are sown
<02221>

in it to spring forth
<06779> (8686)_;

so the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>

will cause righteousness
<06666>

and praise
<08416>

to spring forth
<06779> (8686)

before all the nations
<01471>_.

62:1

For Zion's
<06726>

sake will I not hold my peace
<02814> (8799)_,

and for Jerusalem's
<03389>

sake I will not rest
<08252> (8799)_,

until the righteousness
<06664>

thereof go forth
<03318> (8799)

as brightness
<05051>_,

and the salvation
<03444>

thereof as a lamp
<03940>

[that] burneth
<01197> (8799)_.

62:2

And the Gentiles
<01471>

shall see
<07200> (8804)

thy righteousness
<06664>_,

and all kings
<04428>

thy glory
<03519>_:

and thou shalt be called
<07121> (8795)

by a new
<02319>

name
<05344> (8799)_,

which the mouth
<06310>

of the LORD
<03068>

shall name
<08034>_.

62:3

Thou shalt also be a crown
<05850>

of glory
<08597>

in the hand
<03027>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and a royal
<04410>

diadem
<06797> (8675) <06797>

in the hand
<03709>

of thy God
<0430>_.

62:4

Thou shalt no more be termed
<0559> (8735)

Forsaken
<05800> (8803)_;

neither shall thy land
<0776>

any more be termed
<0559> (8735)

Desolate
<08077>_:

but thou shalt be called
<07121> (8735)

Hephzibah
<02657>_,

and thy land
<0776>

Beulah
<01166> (8803)_:

for the LORD
<03068>

delighteth
<02654> (8804)

in thee, and thy land
<0776>

shall be married
<01166> (8735)_.

{Hephzibah: that is, My delight is in her} {Beulah: that is, Married}

62:5

For [as] a young man
<0970>

marrieth
<01166> (8799)

a virgin
<01330>_,

[so] shall thy sons
<01121>

marry
<01166> (8799)

thee: and [as] the bridegroom
<02860>

rejoiceth
<04885>

over the bride
<03618>_,

[so] shall thy God
<0430>

rejoice
<07797> (8799)

over thee. {as the...: Heb. with the joy of the bridegroom}

62:6

I have set
<06485> (8689)

watchmen
<08104> (8802)

upon thy walls
<02346>_,

O Jerusalem
<03389>_,

[which] shall never
<08548>

hold their peace
<02814> (8799)

day
<03117>

nor night
<03915>_:

ye that make mention
<02142> (8688)

of the LORD
<03068>_,

keep not silence
<01824>_,

{make...: or, are the LORD's remembrancers}

62:7

And give
<05414> (8799)

him no rest
<01824>_,

till he establish
<03559> (8787)_,

and till he make
<07760> (8799)

Jerusalem
<03389>

a praise
<08416>

in the earth
<0776>_.

{rest: Heb. silence}

62:8

The LORD
<03068>

hath sworn
<07650> (8738)

by his right hand
<03225>_,

and by the arm
<02220>

of his strength
<05797>_,

Surely I will
<0518>

no more give
<05414> (8799)

thy corn
<01715>

[to be] meat
<03978>

for thine enemies
<0341> (8802)_;

and the sons
<01121>

of the stranger
<05236>

shall not drink
<08354> (8799)

thy wine
<08492>_,

for the which thou hast laboured
<03021> (8804)_:

{Surely...: Heb. If I give, etc}

62:9

But they that have gathered
<0622> (8764)

it shall eat
<0398> (8799)

it, and praise
<01984> (8765)

the LORD
<03068>_;

and they that have brought it together
<06908> (8764)

shall drink
<08354> (8799)

it in the courts
<02691>

of my holiness
<06944>_.

62:10

Go through
<05674> (8798)_,

go through
<05674> (8798)

the gates
<08179>_;

prepare
<06437> (8761)

ye the way
<01870>

of the people
<05971>_;

cast up
<05549> (8798)_,

cast up
<05549> (8798)

the highway
<04546>_;

gather out
<05619> (8761)

the stones
<068>_;

lift up
<07311> (8685)

a standard
<05251>

for the people
<05971>_.

62:11

Behold, the LORD
<03068>

hath proclaimed
<08085> (8689)

unto the end
<07097>

of the world
<0776>_,

Say
<0559> (8798)

ye to the daughter
<01323>

of Zion
<06726>_,

Behold, thy salvation
<03468>

cometh
<0935> (8802)_;

behold, his reward
<07939>

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

before
<06440>

him. {work: or, recompence}

62:12

And they shall call
<07121> (8804)

them, The holy
<06944>

people
<05971>_,

The redeemed
<01350> (8803)

of the LORD
<03068>_:

and thou shalt be called
<07121> (8735)_,

Sought out
<01875> (8803)_,

A city
<05892>

not forsaken
<05800> (8737)_.

63:1

Who [is] this that cometh
<0935> (8802)

from Edom
<0123>_,

with dyed
<02556> (8803)

garments
<0899>

from Bozrah
<01224>_?

this [that is] glorious
<01921> (8803)

in his apparel
<03830>_,

travelling
<06808> (8802)

in the greatness
<07230>

of his strength
<03581>_?

I that speak
<01696> (8764)

in righteousness
<06666>_,

mighty
<07227>

to save
<03467> (8687)_.

{glorious: Heb. decked}

63:2

Wherefore [art thou] red
<0122>

in thine apparel
<03830>_,

and thy garments
<0899>

like him that treadeth
<01869> (8802)

in the winefat
<01660>_?

63:3

I have trodden
<01869> (8804)

the winepress
<06333>

alone; and of the people
<05971>

[there was] none
<0376>

with me: for I will tread
<01869> (8799)

them in mine anger
<0639>_,

and trample
<07429> (8799)

them in my fury
<02534>_;

and their blood
<05332>

shall be sprinkled
<05137> (8799)

upon my garments
<0899>_,

and I will stain
<01351> (8689)

all my raiment
<04403>_.

63:4

For the day
<03117>

of vengeance
<05359>

[is] in mine heart
<03820>_,

and the year
<08141>

of my redeemed
<01350> (8803)

is come
<0935> (8804)_.

63:5

And I looked
<05027> (8686)_,

and [there was] none to help
<05826> (8802)_;

and I wondered
<08074> (8709)

that [there was] none to uphold
<05564> (8802)_:

therefore mine own arm
<02220>

brought salvation
<03467> (8686)

unto me; and my fury
<02534>_,

it upheld
<05564> (8804)

me.

63:6

And I will tread down
<0947> (8799)

the people
<05971>

in mine anger
<0639>_,

and make them drunk
<07937> (8762)

in my fury
<02534>_,

and I will bring down
<03381> (8686)

their strength
<05332>

to the earth
<0776>_.

63:7

I will mention
<02142> (8686)

the lovingkindnesses
<02617>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

[and] the praises
<08416>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

according to all that the LORD
<03068>

hath bestowed
<01580> (8804)

on us, and the great
<07227>

goodness
<02898>

toward the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_,

which he hath bestowed
<01580> (8804)

on them according to his mercies
<07356>_,

and according to the multitude
<07230>

of his lovingkindnesses
<02617>_.

63:8

For he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Surely they [are] my people
<05971>_,

children
<01121>

[that] will not lie
<08266> (8762)_:

so he was their Saviour
<03467> (8688)_.

63:9

In all their affliction
<06869>

he was afflicted
<06862>_,

and the angel
<04397>

of his presence
<06440>

saved
<03467> (8689)

them: in his love
<0160>

and in his pity
<02551>

he redeemed
<01350> (8804)

them; and he bare
<05190> (8762)

them, and carried
<05375> (8762)

them all the days
<03117>

of old
<05769>_.

63:10

But they rebelled
<04784> (8804)_,

and vexed
<06087> (8765)

his holy
<06944>

Spirit
<07307>_:

therefore he was turned
<02015> (8735)

to be their enemy
<0341> (8802)_,

[and] he fought
<03898> (8738)

against them.

63:11

Then he remembered
<02142> (8799)

the days
<03117>

of old
<05769>_,

Moses
<04872>_,

[and] his people
<05971>_,

[saying], Where [is] he that brought them up
<05927> (8688)

out of the sea
<03220>

with the shepherd
<07462> (8802)

of his flock
<06629>_?

where [is] he that put
<07760> (8802)

his holy
<06944>

Spirit
<07307>

within
<07130>

him? {shepherd: or, shepherds}

63:12

That led
<03212> (8688)

[them] by the right hand
<03225>

of Moses
<04872>

with his glorious
<08597>

arm
<02220>_,

dividing
<01234> (8802)

the water
<04325>

before
<06440>

them, to make
<06213> (8800)

himself an everlasting
<05769>

name
<08034>_?

63:13

That led
<03212> (8688)

them through the deep
<08415>_,

as an horse
<05483>

in the wilderness
<04057>_,

[that] they should not stumble
<03782> (8735)_?

63:14

As a beast
<0929>

goeth down
<03381> (8799)

into the valley
<01237>_,

the Spirit
<07307>

of the LORD
<03068>

caused him to rest
<05117> (8686)_:

so didst thou lead
<05090> (8765)

thy people
<05971>_,

to make
<06213> (8800)

thyself a glorious
<08597>

name
<08034>_.

63:15

Look down
<05027> (8685)

from heaven
<08064>_,

and behold
<07200> (8798)

from the habitation
<02073>

of thy holiness
<06944>

and of thy glory
<08597>_:

where [is] thy zeal
<07068>

and thy strength
<01369>_,

the sounding
<01995>

of thy bowels
<04578>

and of thy mercies
<07356>

toward me? are they restrained
<0662> (8694)_?

{the sounding: or, the multitude}

63:16

Doubtless
<03588>

thou [art] our father
<01>_,

though Abraham
<085>

be ignorant
<03808> <03045> (8804)

of us, and Israel
<03478>

acknowledge
<05234> (8686)

us not: thou, O LORD
<03068>_,

[art] our father
<01>_,

our redeemer
<01350> (8802)_;

thy name
<08034>

[is] from everlasting
<05769>_.

{our redeemer...: or, our redeemer from everlasting is thy name}

63:17

O LORD
<03068>_,

why hast thou made us to err
<08582> (8686)

from thy ways
<01870>_,

[and] hardened
<07188> (8686)

our heart
<03820>

from thy fear
<03374>_?

Return
<07725> (8798)

for thy servants
<05650>_'

sake, the tribes
<07626>

of thine inheritance
<05159>_.

63:18

The people
<05971>

of thy holiness
<06944>

have possessed
<03423> (8804)

[it] but a little while
<04705>_:

our adversaries
<06862>

have trodden down
<0947> (8790)

thy sanctuary
<04720>_.

63:19

We are [thine]: thou never
<05769>

barest rule
<04910> (8804)

over them; they were not called
<07121> (8738)

by thy name
<08034>_.

{they...: Heb. thy name was not called upon them}
