Isaiah 49:1--57:21

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>_.
