ComfortH5162 ye, comfortH5162 ye my peopleH5971, saithH559 your GodH430.
SpeakH1696 ye comfortablyH3820 to JerusalemH3389, and cryH7121 unto her, that her warfareH6635 is accomplishedH4390, that her iniquityH5771 is pardonedH7521: for she hath receivedH3947 of the LORD'SH3068 handH3027 doubleH3718 for all her sinsH2403. {comfortably: Heb. to the heart} {warfare: or, appointed time}
The voiceH6963 of him that criethH7121 in the wildernessH4057, PrepareH6437 ye the wayH1870 of the LORDH3068, make straightH3474 in the desertH6160 a highwayH4546 for our GodH430.
Every valleyH1516 shall be exaltedH5375, and every mountainH2022 and hillH1389 shall be made lowH8213: and the crookedH6121 shall be made straightH4334, and the rough placesH7406 plainH1237: {straight: or, a straight place} {plain: or, a plain place}
And the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 shall be revealedH1540, and all fleshH1320 shall seeH7200 it togetherH3162: for the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 it.
The voiceH6963 saidH559, CryH7121. And he saidH559, What shall I cryH7121? All fleshH1320 is grassH2682, and all the goodlinessH2617 thereof is as the flowerH6731 of the fieldH7704:
The grassH2682 witherethH3001, the flowerH6731 fadethH5034: because the spiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 blowethH5380 upon it: surelyH403 the peopleH5971 is grassH2682.
The grassH2682 witherethH3001, the flowerH6731 fadethH5034: but the wordH1697 of our GodH430 shall standH6965 for everH5769.
O ZionH6726, that bringest good tidingsH1319, get thee upH5927 into the highH1364 mountainH2022; O JerusalemH3389, that bringest good tidingsH1319, lift upH7311 thy voiceH6963 with strengthH3581; lift it upH7311, be not afraidH3372; sayH559 unto the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, Behold your GodH430! {O Zion…: or, O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion} {O Jerusalem…: or, O thou that tellest good tidings to Jerusalem}
Behold, the LordH136 GODH3069 will comeH935 with strongH2389 hand, and his armH2220 shall ruleH4910 for him: behold, his rewardH7939 is with him, and his workH6468 beforeH6440 him. {with strong…: or, against the strong} {his work: or, recompence for his work}
He shall feedH7462 his flockH5739 like a shepherdH7462: he shall gatherH6908 the lambsH2922 with his armH2220, and carryH5375 them in his bosomH2436, and shall gently leadH5095 those that are with youngH5763. {that…: or, that give suck}
Who hath measuredH4058 the watersH4325 in the hollow of his handH8168, and meted outH8505 heavenH8064 with the spanH2239, and comprehendedH3557 the dustH6083 of the earthH776 in a measureH7991, and weighedH8254 the mountainsH2022 in scalesH6425, and the hillsH1389 in a balanceH3976? {a measure: Heb. a tierce}
Who hath directedH8505 the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068, or being his counsellorH376+H6098 hath taughtH3045 him? {his…: Heb. man of his counsel}
With whom took he counselH3289, and who instructedH995 him, and taughtH3925 him in the pathH734 of judgmentH4941, and taughtH3925 him knowledgeH1847, and shewedH3045 to him the wayH1870 of understandingH8394? {instructed…: Heb. made him understand} {understanding: Heb. understandings?}
Behold, the nationsH1471 are as a dropH4752 of a bucketH1805, and are countedH2803 as the small dustH7834 of the balanceH3976: behold, he taketh upH5190 the islesH339 as a very little thingH1851.
And LebanonH3844 is notH369 sufficientH1767 to burnH1197, nor the beastsH2416 thereof sufficientH1767 for a burnt offeringH5930.
All nationsH1471 before him are as nothing; and they are countedH2803 to him less than nothingH657, and vanityH8414.
To whom then will ye likenH1819 GodH410? or what likenessH1823 will ye compareH6186 unto him?
The workmanH2796 meltethH5258 a graven imageH6459, and the goldsmithH6884 spreadethH7554 it over with goldH2091, and castethH6884 silverH3701 chainsH7577.
He that is so impoverishedH5533+H5534 that he hath no oblationH8641 choosethH977 a treeH6086 that will not rotH7537; he seekethH1245 unto him a cunningH2450 workmanH2796 to prepareH3559 a graven imageH6459, that shall not be movedH4131. {is so…: Heb. is poor of oblation}
Have ye not knownH3045? have ye not heardH8085? hath it not been toldH5046 you from the beginningH7218? have ye not understoodH995 from the foundationsH4146 of the earthH776?
It is he that sittethH3427 upon the circleH2329 of the earthH776, and the inhabitantsH3427 thereof are as grasshoppersH2284; that stretcheth outH5186 the heavensH8064 as a curtainH1852, and spreadeth them outH4969 as a tentH168 to dwell inH3427: {It is…: or, Him that}
That bringethH5414 the princesH7336 to nothing; he makethH6213 the judgesH8199 of the earthH776 as vanityH8414.
Yea, they shall not be plantedH5193; yea, they shall not be sownH2232: yea, their stockH1503 shall not take rootH8327 in the earthH776: and he shall also blowH5398 upon them, and they shall witherH3001, and the whirlwindH5591 shall takeH5375 them away as stubbleH7179.
To whom then will ye likenH1819 me, or shall I be equalH7737? saithH559 the Holy OneH6918.
Lift upH5375 your eyesH5869 on highH4791, and beholdH7200 who hath createdH1254 these things, that bringeth outH3318 their hostH6635 by numberH4557: he callethH7121 them all by namesH8034 by the greatnessH7230 of his mightH202, for that he is strongH533 in powerH3581; not oneH376 failethH5737.
Why sayestH559 thou, O JacobH3290, and speakestH1696, O IsraelH3478, My wayH1870 is hidH5641 from the LORDH3068, and my judgmentH4941 is passed overH5674 from my GodH430?
Hast thou not knownH3045? hast thou not heardH8085, that the everlastingH5769 GodH430, the LORDH3068, the CreatorH1254 of the endsH7098 of the earthH776, faintethH3286 not, neither is wearyH3021? there is no searchingH2714 of his understandingH8394.
He givethH5414 powerH3581 to the faintH3287; and to them that have no mightH202 he increasethH7235 strengthH6109.
Even the youthsH5288 shall faintH3286 and be wearyH3021, and the young menH970 shall utterlyH3782 fallH3782:
But they that waitH6960 upon the LORDH3068 shall renewH2498 their strengthH3581; they shall mount upH5927 with wingsH83 as eaglesH5404; they shall runH7323, and not be wearyH3021; and they shall walkH3212, and not faintH3286. {renew: Heb. change}

He will regardH6437 the prayerH8605 of the destituteH6199, and not despiseH959 their prayerH8605.
This shall be writtenH3789 for the generationH1755 to comeH314: and the peopleH5971 which shall be createdH1254 shall praiseH1984 the LORDH3050.
For he hath looked downH8259 from the heightH4791 of his sanctuaryH6944; from heavenH8064 did the LORDH3068 beholdH5027 the earthH776;

I saidH559, O my GodH410, take me not awayH5927 in the midstH2677 of my daysH3117: thy yearsH8141 are throughout allH1755 generationsH1755.
Of oldH6440 hast thou laid the foundationH3245 of the earthH776: and the heavensH8064 are the workH4639 of thy handsH3027.
They shall perishH6, but thou shalt endureH5975: yea, all of them shall wax oldH1086 like a garmentH899; as a vestureH3830 shalt thou changeH2498 them, and they shall be changedH2498: {endure: Heb. stand}
But thou art the same, and thy yearsH8141 shall have no endH8552.
The childrenH1121 of thy servantsH5650 shall continueH7931, and their seedH2233 shall be establishedH3559 beforeH6440 thee.
And in that dayH3117 thou shalt sayH559, O LORDH3068, I will praiseH3034 thee: though thou wast angryH599 with me, thine angerH639 is turned awayH7725, and thou comfortedstH5162 me.
For your shameH1322 ye shall have doubleH4932; and for confusionH3639 they shall rejoiceH7442 in their portionH2506: therefore in their landH776 they shall possessH3423 the doubleH4932: everlastingH5769 joyH8057 shall be unto them.
And HezekiahH3169 spakeH1696 comfortablyH3820 unto all the LevitesH3881 that taughtH7919 the goodH2896 knowledgeH7922 of the LORDH3068: and they did eatH398 throughout the feastH4150 sevenH7651 daysH3117, offeringH2076 peaceH8002 offeringsH2077, and making confessionH3034 to the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1. {comfortably…: Heb. to the heart of all}

And the LORDH3068 turnedH7725 the captivityH7622+H7622 of JobH347, when he prayedH6419 for his friendsH7453: also the LORDH3068 gaveH3254 JobH347 twice as muchH4932 as he had before. {gave…: Heb. added all that had been to Job unto the double}
Then cameH935 there unto him all his brethrenH251, and all his sistersH269, and all they that had been of his acquaintanceH3045 beforeH6440, and did eatH398 breadH3899 with him in his houseH1004: and they bemoanedH5110 him, and comfortedH5162 him over all the evilH7451 that the LORDH3068 had broughtH935 upon him: every manH376 also gaveH5414 him aH259 piece of moneyH7192, and every oneH376 an earringH5141 of goldH2091.
So the LORDH3068 blessedH1288 the latter endH319 of JobH347 more than his beginningH7225: for he had fourteenH702+H6240 thousandH505 sheepH6629, and sixH8337 thousandH505 camelsH1581, and a thousandH505 yokeH6776 of oxenH1241, and a thousandH505 she assesH860.

In the firstH259 yearH8141 of his reignH4427 I DanielH1840 understoodH995 by booksH5612 the numberH4557 of the yearsH8141, whereof the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030, that he would accomplishH4390 seventyH7657 yearsH8141 in the desolationsH2723 of JerusalemH3389.

Let them be confoundedH954 that persecuteH7291 me, but let not me be confoundedH954: let them be dismayedH2865, but let not me be dismayedH2865: bringH935 upon them the dayH3117 of evilH7451, and destroyH7665 them with doubleH4932 destructionH7670. {destroy…: Heb. break them with a double breach}

For your shameH1322 ye shall have doubleH4932; and for confusionH3639 they shall rejoiceH7442 in their portionH2506: therefore in their landH776 they shall possessH3423 the doubleH4932: everlastingH5769 joyH8057 shall be unto them.

But thou, O DanielH1840, shut upH5640 the wordsH1697, and sealH2856 the bookH5612, even to the timeH6256 of the endH7093: manyH7227 shall run to and froH7751, and knowledgeH1847 shall be increasedH7235.
But this shall be the covenantH1285 that I will makeH3772 with the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; AfterH310 those daysH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, I will putH5414 my lawH8451 in their inward partsH7130, and writeH3789 it in their heartsH3820; and will be their GodH430, and they shall be my peopleH5971.

And they shall teachH3925 no more every manH376 his neighbourH7453, and every manH376 his brotherH251, sayingH559, KnowH3045 the LORDH3068: for they shall all knowH3045 me, from the leastH6996 of them unto the greatestH1419 of them, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: for I will forgiveH5545 their iniquityH5771, and I will rememberH2142 their sinH2403 no more.

And I will cleanseH2891 them from all their iniquityH5771, whereby they have sinnedH2398 against me; and I will pardonH5545 all their iniquitiesH5771, whereby they have sinnedH2398, and whereby they have transgressedH6586 against me.
AndG1161 he saidG2036 untoG4314 themG846, It isG2076 notG3756 for youG5216 to knowG1097 the timesG5550 orG2228 the seasonsG2540, whichG3739 the FatherG3962 hath putG5087 inG1722 his ownG2398 powerG1849.
And it shall be to me a nameH8034 of joyH8342, a praiseH8416 and an honourH8597 before all the nationsH1471 of the earthH776, which shall hearH8085 all the goodH2896 that I doH6213 unto them: and they shall fearH6342 and trembleH7264 for all the goodnessH2896 and for all the prosperityH7965 that I procureH6213 unto it.

Know yeG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 the unrighteousG94 shallG2816 notG3756 inheritG2816 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316? BeG4105 notG3361 deceivedG4105: neitherG3777 fornicatorsG4205, norG3777 idolatersG1496, norG3777 adulterersG3432, norG3777 effeminateG3120, norG3777 abusers of themselves with mankindG733,

AndG2532 suchG5023 wereG2258 some of youG5100: butG235 ye are washedG628, butG235 ye are sanctifiedG37, butG235 ye are justifiedG1344 inG1722 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424, andG2532 byG1722 the SpiritG4151 of ourG2257 GodG2316.
AndG2532 they criedG2896 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, sayingG3004, HowG2193 longG4219, O LordG1203, holyG40 andG2532 trueG228, dost thouG2919 notG3756 judgeG2919 andG2532 avengeG1556 ourG2257 bloodG129 onG575 them that dwellG2730 onG1909 the earthG1093?
AndG2532 whiteG3022 robesG4749 were givenG1325 unto every one of themG1538; andG2532 it was saidG4483 unto themG846, thatG2443 they should restG373 yetG2089 for a littleG3398 seasonG5550, untilG2193 theirG846 fellowservantsG4889 alsoG2532 andG2532 theirG846 brethrenG80, that shouldG3195 be killedG615 asG5613+G2532 theyG846 were, shouldG3739 be fulfilledG4137.
AndG2532 the seventhG1442 angelG32 soundedG4537; andG2532 there wereG1096 greatG3173 voicesG5456 inG1722 heavenG3772, sayingG3004, The kingdomsG932 of this worldG2889 are becomeG1096 the kingdoms of ourG2257 LordG2962, andG2532 of hisG846 ChristG5547; andG2532 he shall reignG936 forG1519 everG165 and everG165.
AndG2532 the fourG5064 andG2532 twentyG1501 eldersG4245, whichG3588 satG2521 beforeG1799 GodG2316 onG1909 theirG846 seatsG2362, fellG4098 uponG1909 theirG846 facesG4383, andG2532 worshippedG4352 GodG2316,
SayingG3004, We giveG2168 theeG4671 thanksG2168, O LordG2962 GodG2316 AlmightyG3841, whichG3588 artG5607+G3801, andG2532 wastG2258+G3801, andG2532 art to comeG2064+G3801; becauseG3754 thou hast taken to theeG2983 thyG4675 greatG3173 powerG1411, andG2532 hast reignedG936.
AndG2532 the nationsG1484 were angryG3710, andG2532 thyG4675 wrathG3709 is comeG2064, andG2532 the timeG2540 of the deadG3498, that they should be judgedG2919, andG2532 that thou shouldest giveG1325 rewardG3408 unto thyG4675 servantsG1401 the prophetsG4396, andG2532 to the saintsG40, andG2532 them that fearG5399 thyG4675 nameG3686, smallG3398 andG2532 greatG3173; andG2532 shouldest destroyG1311 them which destroyG1311 the earthG1093. {destroy the earth: or, corrupt the earth}
