Isaiah 44:1-28

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)_.
