Isaiah 46:1--47:15

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.
