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}
Querverweise zu Jesaja 40,31 Jes 40,31
And I will waitH2442 upon the LORDH3068, that hidethH5641 his faceH6440 from the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, and I will lookH6960 for him.
And SamsonH8123 calledH7121 unto the LORDH3068, and saidH559, O LordH136 GODH3069, rememberH2142 me, I pray thee, and strengthenH2388 me, I pray thee, only this onceH6471, O GodH430, that I may be at onceH259 avengedH5358+H5359 of the PhilistinesH6430 for my twoH8147 eyesH5869.
Ye have seenH7200 what I didH6213 unto the EgyptiansH4714, and how I bareH5375 you on eagles'H5404 wingsH3671, and broughtH935 you unto myself.
I had fainted, unlessH3884 I had believedH539 to seeH7200 the goodnessH2898 of the LORDH3068 in the landH776 of the livingH2416.
And it shall be saidH559 in that dayH3117, Lo, this is our GodH430; we have waitedH6960 for him, and he will saveH3467 us: this is the LORDH3068; we have waitedH6960 for him, we will be gladH1523 and rejoiceH8055 in his salvationH3444.
The righteousH6662 also shall holdH270 on his wayH1870, and he that hath cleanH2890 handsH3027 shall beH3254 stronger and strongerH555. {be…: Heb. add strength}
They goH3212 from strengthH2428 to strengthH2428, every one of them in ZionH6726 appearethH7200 before GodH430. {strength to…: or, company to company}
AndG1161 he spakeG3004+G2532 a parableG3850 unto themG846+G4314 to this end, that men oughtG1163 alwaysG3842 to prayG4336, andG2532 notG3361 to faintG1573;
And therefore will the LORDH3068 waitH2442, that he may be graciousH2603 unto you, and therefore will he be exaltedH7311, that he may have mercyH7355 upon you: for the LORDH3068 is a GodH430 of judgmentH4941: blessedH835 are all they that waitH2442 for him.
Then he is graciousH2603 unto him, and saithH559, DeliverH6308 him from going downH3381 to the pitH7845: I have foundH4672 a ransomH3724. {a ransom: or, an atonement}
His fleshH1320 shall be fresherH7375 than a child'sH5290: he shall returnH7725 to the daysH3117 of his youthH5934: {a child's: Heb. childhood}
He shall prayH6279 unto GodH433, and he will be favourableH7521 unto him: and he shall seeH7200 his faceH6440 with joyH8643: for he will renderH7725 unto manH582 his righteousnessH6666.
Who is this that cometh upH5927 from the wildernessH4057, leaningH7514 upon her belovedH1730? I raisedH5782 thee up under the apple treeH8598: there thy motherH517 brought thee forthH2254: there she brought thee forthH2254 that bareH3205 thee.
Therefore seeingG1223+G5124 we haveG2192 thisG5026 ministryG1248, asG2531 we have received mercyG1653, we faintG1573 notG3756;
Yea, let none that waitH6960 on thee be ashamedH954: let them be ashamedH954 which transgressH898 without causeH7387.
Who satisfiethH7646 thy mouthH5716 with goodH2896 things; so that thy youthH5271 is renewedH2318 like the eagle'sH5404.
And I will strengthenH1396 them in the LORDH3068; and they shall walk up and downH1980 in his nameH8034, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
For which causeG1352 we faintG1573 notG3756; butG235 thoughG1499 ourG2257 outwardG1854 manG444 perishG1311, yetG235 the inwardG2081 man is renewedG341 dayG2250 byG2532 dayG2250.
LeadH1869 me in thy truthH571, and teachH3925 me: for thou art the GodH430 of my salvationH3468; on thee do I waitH6960 all the dayH3117.

AndG1161 let usG1573 notG3361 be wearyG1573 in wellG2570 doingG4160: forG1063 in dueG2398 seasonG2540 we shall reapG2325, if we faintG1590 notG3361.
ForG1063 we wouldG2309 notG3756, brethrenG80, haveG50 youG5209 ignorantG50 ofG5228 ourG2257 troubleG2347 whichG3588 cameG1096 to usG2254 inG1722 AsiaG773, thatG3754 we were pressedG2596 outG916 of measureG5236, aboveG5228 strengthG1411, insomuchG5620 that weG2248 despairedG1820 evenG2532 of lifeG2198:
ButG235+G846 we hadG2192 the sentenceG610 of deathG2288 inG1722 ourselvesG1438, thatG3363 we shouldG3982 notG3363 trustG3982 inG1909 ourselvesG1438+G5600, butG235 inG1909 GodG2316 whichG3588 raisethG1453 the deadG3498: {sentence: or, answer}
WhoG3739 deliveredG4506 usG2248 fromG1537 so greatG5082 a deathG2288, andG2532 doth deliverG4506: inG1519 whomG3739 we trustG1679 thatG3754 he willG4506+G2532 yetG2089 deliverG4506 us;
WhereforeG5105 seeing we alsoG2532 areG2192 compassed aboutG4029+G2254 with so greatG5118 a cloudG3509 of witnessesG3144, letG659 usG2249 lay asideG659 everyG3956 weightG3591, andG2532 the sinG266 which doth so easily besetG2139 us, and let us runG5143 withG1223 patienceG5281 the raceG73 that is set beforeG4295 usG2254,
WaitH6960 on the LORDH3068: be of good courageH2388, and he shall strengthenH553 thine heartH3820: waitH6960, I say, on the LORDH3068.
We are troubledG2346 onG1722 every sideG3956, yetG235 notG3756 distressedG4729; we are perplexedG639, butG235 notG3756 in despairG1820; {in despair: or, altogether without help, or, means}
PersecutedG1377, butG235 notG3756 forsakenG1459; cast downG2598, butG235 notG3756 destroyedG622;
AlwaysG3842 bearing aboutG4064 inG1722 the bodyG4983 the dyingG3500 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424, thatG2443 the lifeG2222 alsoG2532 of JesusG2424 might be made manifestG5319 inG1722 ourG2257 bodyG4983.
AndG2532 hast borneG941, andG2532 hastG2192 patienceG5281, andG2532 forG1223 myG3450 name's sakeG1223+G3686 hast labouredG2872, andG2532 hastG2577 notG3756 faintedG2577.
WaitH6960 on the LORDH3068, and keepH8104 his wayH1870, and he shall exaltH7311 thee to inheritH3423 the landH776: when the wickedH7563 are cut offH3772, thou shalt seeH7200 it.
For which causeG1352 we faintG1573 notG3756; butG235 thoughG1499 ourG2257 outwardG1854 manG444 perishG1311, yetG235 the inwardG2081 man is renewedG341 dayG2250 byG2532 dayG2250.
To the chief MusicianH5329, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. I waitedH6960 patientlyH6960 for the LORDH3068; and he inclinedH5186 unto me, and heardH8085 my cryH7775. {I waited…: Heb. In waiting I waited}
AndG2532 he saidG2046 unto meG3427, MyG3450 graceG5485 is sufficientG714 for theeG4671: forG1063 myG3450 strengthG1411 is made perfectG5048 inG1722 weaknessG769. Most gladlyG2236 thereforeG3767 will IG2744 ratherG3123 gloryG2744 inG1722 myG3450 infirmitiesG769, thatG2443 the powerG1411 of ChristG5547 may restG1981 uponG1909 meG1691.
They goH3212 from strengthH2428 to strengthH2428, every one of them in ZionH6726 appearethH7200 before GodH430. {strength to…: or, company to company}
ThereforeG1352 I take pleasureG2106 inG1722 infirmitiesG769, inG1722 reproachesG5196, inG1722 necessitiesG318, inG1722 persecutionsG1375, inG1722 distressesG4730 forG5228 Christ'sG5547 sakeG5228: forG1063 whenG3752 I am weakG770, thenG5119 amG1510 I strongG1415.
A PsalmH4210 or SongH7892 for the sabbathH7676 dayH3117. It is a goodH2896 thing to give thanksH3034 unto the LORDH3068, and to sing praisesH2167 unto thy nameH8034, O most HighH5945:
Those that be plantedH8362 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 shall flourishH6524 in the courtsH2691 of our GodH430.
Behold, as the eyesH5869 of servantsH5650 look unto the handH3027 of their mastersH113, and as the eyesH5869 of a maidenH8198 unto the handH3027 of her mistressH1404; so our eyesH5869 wait upon the LORDH3068 our GodH430, until that he have mercyH2603 upon us.
The LORDH3068 is goodH2896 unto them that waitH6960 for him, to the soulH5315 that seekethH1875 him.
It is goodH2896 that a man should both hopeH3175+H2342 and quietly waitH1748 for the salvationH8668 of the LORDH3068.
