Isaiah 49:5-26

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>_.
