Isaiah 48:14

Context

48:14 All of you, gather together and listen!

Who among them 1  announced these things?

The Lord’s ally 2  will carry out his desire against Babylon;

he will exert his power against the Babylonians. 3 

Isaiah 48:20-21

Context

48:20 Leave Babylon!

Flee from the Babylonians!

Announce it with a shout of joy!

Make this known!

Proclaim it throughout the earth! 4 

Say, ‘The Lord protects 5  his servant Jacob.

48:21 They do not thirst as he leads them through dry regions;

he makes water flow out of a rock for them;

he splits open a rock and water flows out.’ 6
