Keep silenceH2790 before me, O islandsH339; and let the peopleH3816 renewH2498 their strengthH3581: let them come nearH5066; then let them speakH1696: let us come nearH7126 togetherH3162 to judgmentH4941.
Who raised upH5782 the righteousH6664 man from the eastH4217, calledH7121 him to his footH7272, gaveH5414 the nationsH1471 beforeH6440 him, and made him ruleH7287 over kingsH4428? he gaveH5414 them as the dustH6083 to his swordH2719, and as drivenH5086 stubbleH7179 to his bowH7198. {the righteous…: Heb. righteousness}
He pursuedH7291 them, and passedH5674 safelyH7965; even by the wayH734 that he had not goneH935 with his feetH7272. {safely: Heb. in peace}
Who hath wroughtH6466 and doneH6213 it, callingH7121 the generationsH1755 from the beginningH7218? I the LORDH3068, the firstH7223, and with the lastH314; I am he.
The islesH339 sawH7200 it, and fearedH3372; the endsH7098 of the earthH776 were afraidH2729, drew nearH7126, and cameH857.
They helpedH5826 every oneH376 his neighbourH7453; and every one saidH559 to his brotherH251, Be of good courageH2388. {Be…: Heb. Be strong}
So the carpenterH2796 encouragedH2388 the goldsmithH6884, and he that smoothethH2505 with the hammerH6360 him that smoteH1986 the anvilH6471, sayingH559, It is readyH2896 for the soderingH1694: and he fastenedH2388 it with nailsH4548, that it should not be movedH4131. {goldsmith: or, founder} {him…: or, the smiting} {saying…: or, saying of the soder, It is good}
But thou, IsraelH3478, art my servantH5650, JacobH3290 whom I have chosenH977, the seedH2233 of AbrahamH85 my friendH157.
Thou whom I have takenH2388 from the endsH7098 of the earthH776, and calledH7121 thee from the chief menH678 thereof, and saidH559 unto thee, Thou art my servantH5650; I have chosenH977 thee, and not cast thee awayH3988.
FearH3372 thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayedH8159; for I am thy GodH430: I will strengthenH553 thee; yea, I will helpH5826 thee; yea, I will upholdH8551 thee with the right handH3225 of my righteousnessH6664.
Behold, all they that were incensedH2734 against thee shall be ashamedH954 and confoundedH3637: they shall be as nothing; and theyH582 that striveH7379 with thee shall perishH6. {they that strive…: Heb. the men of thy strife}
Thou shalt seekH1245 them, and shalt not findH4672 them, even themH582 that contendedH4695 with thee: they that warH4421 against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of noughtH657. {them that…: Heb. the men of thy contention} {they…: Heb. the men of thy war}
For I the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 will holdH2388 thy right handH3225, sayingH559 unto thee, FearH3372 not; I will helpH5826 thee.
FearH3372 not, thou wormH8438 JacobH3290, and ye menH4962 of IsraelH3478; I will helpH5826 thee, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and thy redeemerH1350, the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478. {men: or, few men}
Behold, I will makeH7760 thee a newH2319 sharpH2742 threshingH4173 instrument havingH1167 teethH6374: thou shalt threshH1758 the mountainsH2022, and beat them smallH1854, and shalt makeH7760 the hillsH1389 as chaffH4671. {teeth: Heb. mouths}
Thou shalt fanH2219 them, and the windH7307 shall carry them awayH5375, and the whirlwindH5591 shall scatterH6327 them: and thou shalt rejoiceH1523 in the LORDH3068, and shalt gloryH1984 in the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.
When the poorH6041 and needyH34 seekH1245 waterH4325, and there is none, and their tongueH3956 failethH5405 for thirstH6772, I the LORDH3068 will hearH6030 them, I the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 will not forsakeH5800 them.
I will openH6605 riversH5104 in high placesH8205, and fountainsH4599 in the midstH8432 of the valleysH1237: I will makeH7760 the wildernessH4057 a poolH98 of waterH4325, and the dryH6723 landH776 springsH4161 of waterH4325.
I will plantH5414 in the wildernessH4057 the cedarH730, the shittah treeH7848, and the myrtleH1918, and the oilH8081 treeH6086; I will setH7760 in the desertH6160 the fir treeH1265, and the pineH8410, and the box treeH8391 togetherH3162:
That they may seeH7200, and knowH3045, and considerH7760, and understandH7919 togetherH3162, that the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 hath doneH6213 this, and the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478 hath createdH1254 it.
ProduceH7126 your causeH7379, saithH559 the LORDH3068; bring forthH5066 your strongH6110 reasons, saithH559 the KingH4428 of JacobH3290. {Produce: Heb. Cause to come near}
Let them bring them forthH5066, and shewH5046 us what shall happenH7136: let them shewH5046 the former thingsH7223, what they be, that we may considerH7760+H3820 them, and knowH3045 the latter endH319 of them; or declareH8085 us things for to comeH935. {consider…: Heb. set our heart upon them}
ShewH5046 the things that are to comeH857 hereafterH268, that we may knowH3045 that ye are godsH430: yea, do goodH3190, or do evilH7489, that we may be dismayedH8159, and beholdH7200 it togetherH3162.
Behold, ye are of nothingH369, and your workH6467 of noughtH659: an abominationH8441 is he that choosethH977 you. {of nothing: or, worse than nothing} {of nought: or, worse than of a viper}
I have raised upH5782 one from the northH6828, and he shall comeH857: from the risingH4217 of the sunH8121 shall he callH7121 upon my nameH8034: and he shall comeH935 upon princesH5461 as upon morterH2563, and as the potterH3335 treadethH7429 clayH2916.
Who hath declaredH5046 from the beginningH7218, that we may knowH3045? and beforetimeH6440, that we may sayH559, He is righteousH6662? yea, there is none that shewethH5046, yea, there is none that declarethH8085, yea, there is none that hearethH8085 your wordsH561.
The firstH7223 shall say to ZionH6726, BeholdH2009, beholdH2009 them: and I will giveH5414 to JerusalemH3389 one that bringeth good tidingsH1319.
For I beheldH7200, and there was no manH376; even among them, and there was no counsellorH3289, that, when I askedH7592 of them, could answerH7725 a wordH1697. {answer: Heb. return}
Behold, they are all vanityH205; their worksH4639 are nothingH657: their molten imagesH5262 are windH7307 and confusionH8414.
Querverweise zu Jesaja 41,8 Jes 41,8
But now thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 that createdH1254 thee, O JacobH3290, and he that formedH3335 thee, O IsraelH3478, FearH3372 not: for I have redeemedH1350 thee, I have calledH7121 thee by thy nameH8034; thou art mine.
AndG2532 thinkG1380 notG3361 to sayG3004 withinG1722 yourselvesG1438, We haveG2192 AbrahamG11 to our fatherG3962: forG1063 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, thatG3754 GodG2316 is ableG1410 ofG1537 theseG5130 stonesG3037 to raise upG1453 childrenG5043 unto AbrahamG11.
Art not thou our GodH430, who didst drive outH3423 the inhabitantsH3427 of this landH776 beforeH6440 thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and gavestH5414 it to the seedH2233 of AbrahamH85 thy friendH157 for everH5769? {who: Heb. thou}
They answeredG611 himG846, We beG2070 Abraham'sG11 seedG4690, andG2532 wereG1398 neverG4455 in bondageG1398 to any manG3762: howG4459 sayestG3004 thouG4771+G3754, Ye shall be madeG1096 freeG1658?
JesusG2424 answeredG611 themG846, VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto youG5213+G3754, WhosoeverG3956 committethG4160 sinG266 isG2076 the servantG1401 of sinG266.
AndG1161 the servantG1401 abidethG3306 notG3756 inG1722 the houseG3614 forG1519 everG165: but the SonG5207 abidethG3306+G1519 everG165.
IfG1437 the SonG5207 thereforeG3767 shall makeG1659 youG5209 freeG1659, ye shall beG2071 freeG1658 indeedG3689.
I knowG1492 thatG3754 ye areG2075 Abraham'sG11 seedG4690; butG235 ye seekG2212 to killG615 meG3165, becauseG3754 myG1699 wordG3056 hathG5562 noG3756 placeG5562 inG1722 youG5213.
IG1473 speakG2980 that whichG3739 I have seenG3708 withG3844 myG3450 FatherG3962: andG2532 yeG5210 doG4160 thatG3767 whichG3739 ye have seenG3708 withG3844 yourG5216 fatherG3962.
They answeredG611 andG2532 saidG2036 unto himG846, AbrahamG11 isG2076 ourG2257 fatherG3962. JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto themG846, IfG1487 ye wereG2258 Abraham'sG11 childrenG5043, ye would doG4160+G302 the worksG2041 of AbrahamG11.
ButG1161 nowG3568 ye seekG2212 to killG615 meG3165, a manG444 thatG3739 hath toldG2980 youG5213 the truthG225, whichG3739 I have heardG191 ofG3844 GodG2316: thisG5124 didG4160 notG3756 AbrahamG11.
YeG5210 doG4160 the deedsG2041 of yourG5216 fatherG3962. ThenG3767 said theyG2036 to himG846, WeG2249 beG1080 notG3756 bornG1080 ofG1537 fornicationG4202; we haveG2192 oneG1520 FatherG3962, even GodG2316.
JesusG2424+G3767 saidG2036 unto themG846, IfG1487 GodG2316 wereG2258 yourG5216 FatherG3962, ye wouldG302 loveG25 meG1691: forG1063 IG1473 proceeded forthG1831 andG2532 cameG2240 fromG1537 GodG2316; neitherG3761+G1063 came IG2064 ofG575 myselfG1683, butG235 heG1565 sentG649 meG3165.
WhyG1302 do yeG1097 notG3756 understandG1097 myG1699 speechG2981? even becauseG3754 ye cannotG3756+G1410 hearG191 myG1699 wordG3056.
YeG5210 areG2075 ofG1537 your fatherG3962 the devilG1228, andG2532 the lustsG1939 of yourG5216 fatherG3962 ye willG2309 doG4160. HeG1565 wasG2258 a murdererG443 fromG575 the beginningG746, andG2532 abodeG2476 notG3756 inG1722 the truthG225, becauseG3754 there isG2076 noG3756 truthG225 inG1722 himG846. WhenG3752 he speakethG2980 a lieG5579, he speakethG2980 ofG1537 his ownG2398: forG3754 he isG2076 a liarG5583, andG2532 the fatherG3962 of itG846. {of his own: or, from his own will or disposition}
YeG5210 areG2075 myG3450 friendsG5384, ifG1437 ye doG4160 whatsoeverG3745 IG1473 commandG1781 youG5213.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 that madeH6213 thee, and formedH3335 thee from the wombH990, which will helpH5826 thee; FearH3372 not, O JacobH3290, my servantH5650; and thou, JesurunH3484, whom I have chosenH977.
AndG2532 the fatherG3962 of circumcisionG4061 to them who are notG3756 ofG1537 the circumcisionG4061 onlyG3440, butG235 who alsoG2532 walkG4748 in the stepsG2487 of that faithG4102 of ourG2257 fatherG3962 AbrahamG11, which he had beingG1722 yet uncircumcisedG203.
HenceforthG3765 I callG3004 youG5209 notG3765 servantsG1401; forG3754 the servantG1401 knowethG1492 notG3756 whatG5101 hisG846 lordG2962 doethG4160: butG1161 I have calledG2046 youG5209 friendsG5384; forG3754 all thingsG3956 thatG3739 I have heardG191 ofG3844 myG3450 FatherG3962 I have made knownG1107 unto youG5213.
RememberH2142 these, O JacobH3290 and IsraelH3478; for thou art my servantH5650: I have formedH3335 thee; thou art my servantH5650: O IsraelH3478, thou shalt not be forgottenH5382 of me.
ForG1063 the promiseG1860, that he should beG1511 theG846 heirG2818 of the worldG2889, was notG3756 to AbrahamG11, orG2228 to hisG846 seedG4690, throughG1223 the lawG3551, butG235 throughG1223 the righteousnessG1343 of faithG4102.
AndG2532 the scriptureG1124 was fulfilledG4137 which saithG3004+G1161, AbrahamG11 believedG4100 GodG2316, andG2532 it was imputedG3049 unto himG846 forG1519 righteousnessG1343: andG2532 he was calledG2564 the FriendG5384 of GodG2316.
HearkenH8085 unto me, O JacobH3290 and IsraelH3478, my calledH7121; I am he; I am the firstH7223, I also am the lastH314.
WhoG3748 areG1526 IsraelitesG2475; to whomG3739 pertaineth the adoptionG5206, andG2532 the gloryG1391, andG2532 the covenantsG1242, andG2532 the giving of the lawG3548, andG2532 the serviceG2999 of God, andG2532 the promisesG1860; {covenants: or, testaments}
WhoseG3739 are the fathersG3962, andG2532 ofG1537 whomG3739 as concerningG2596 the fleshG4561 ChristG5547 came, whoG5607 is overG1909 allG3956, GodG2316 blessedG2128 forG1519 everG165. AmenG281.
NotG3756 asG3634 thoughG1161+G3754 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 hath taken none effectG1601. ForG1063 they are notG3756 allG3956+G1537 IsraelG2474, whichG3588+G3778 are of IsraelG2474:
NeitherG3761, becauseG3754 they areG1526 the seedG4690 of AbrahamG11, are they allG3956 childrenG5043: butG235, InG1722 IsaacG2464 shallG2564 thyG4671 seedG4690 be calledG2564.
That isG5123, They which are the childrenG5043 of the fleshG4561, theseG5023 are notG3756 the childrenG5043 of GodG2316: butG235 the childrenG5043 of the promiseG1860 are countedG3049 forG1519 the seedG4690.
WhereforeG5101 thenG3767 serveth the lawG3551? It was addedG4369 because ofG5484 transgressionsG3847, tillG891+G3739 the seedG4690 should comeG2064 to whomG3739 the promise was madeG1861; and it was ordainedG1299 byG1223 angelsG32 inG1722 the handG5495 of a mediatorG3316.
Now therefore, if ye will obeyH8085 my voiceH6963 indeedH8085, and keepH8104 my covenantH1285, then ye shall be a peculiar treasureH5459 unto me above all peopleH5971: for all the earthH776 is mine:
ForG1063 it is writtenG1125, thatG3754 AbrahamG11 hadG2192 twoG1417 sonsG5207, the oneG1520 byG1537 a bondmaidG3814+G2532, the otherG1520 byG1537 a freewomanG1658.
ButG235 heG3303 who was ofG1537 the bondwomanG3814 was bornG1080 afterG2596 the fleshG4561; butG1161 he ofG1537 the freewomanG1658 was byG1223 promiseG1860.
Which thingsG3748 areG2076 an allegoryG238: forG1063 theseG3778 areG1526 the twoG1417 covenantsG1242; the oneG3391+G3303 fromG575 the mountG3735 SinaiG4614, which genderethG1080 toG1519 bondageG1397, whichG3748 isG2076 AgarG28. {covenants: or, testaments} {Sinai: Gr. Sina}
ForG1063 this AgarG28 isG2076 mountG3735 SinaiG4614 inG1722 ArabiaG688, andG1161 answerethG4960 to JerusalemG2419 whichG3588 now isG3568, andG1161 is in bondageG1398 withG3326 herG846 childrenG5043. {answereth to: or, is in the same rank with}
ButG1161 JerusalemG2419 which is aboveG507 isG2076 freeG1658, whichG3748 isG2076 the motherG3384 of usG2257 allG3956.
ForG1063 it is writtenG1125, RejoiceG2165, thou barrenG4723 that bearestG5088 notG3756; break forthG4486 andG2532 cryG994, thou that travailestG5605 notG3756: forG3754 the desolateG2048 hath many moreG4183 childrenG5043 thanG3123+G2228 she which hathG2192 an husbandG435.
NowG1161 weG2249, brethrenG80, asG2596 IsaacG2464 wasG2596, areG2070 the childrenG5043 of promiseG1860.
ButG235 asG5618 thenG5119 he that was bornG1080 afterG2596 the fleshG4561 persecutedG1377 him that was born afterG2596 the SpiritG4151, evenG2532 soG3779 it is nowG3568.
NeverthelessG235 whatG5101 saithG3004 the scriptureG1124? Cast outG1544 the bondwomanG3814 andG2532 herG846 sonG5207: forG1063 the sonG5207 of the bondwomanG3814 shallG2816 notG3364 be heirG2816 withG3326 the sonG5207 of the freewomanG1658.
So thenG686, brethrenG80, we areG2070 notG3756 childrenG5043 of the bondwomanG3814, butG235 of the freeG1658.
And ye shall be unto me a kingdomH4467 of priestsH3548, and an holyH6918 nationH1471. These are the wordsH1697 which thou shalt speakH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
For they are my servantsH5650, which I brought forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714: they shall not be soldH4376 asH4466 bondmenH5650. {as…: Heb. with the sale of a bondman}
For thou art an holyH6918 peopleH5971 unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430: the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath chosenH977 thee to be a specialH5459 peopleH5971 unto himself, above all peopleH5971 that are upon the faceH6440 of the earthH127.
The LORDH3068 did not set his loveH2836 upon you, nor chooseH977 you, because ye were moreH7230 in number than any peopleH5971; for ye were the fewestH4592 of all peopleH5971:
But because the LORDH3068 lovedH160 you, and because he would keepH8104 the oathH7621 which he had swornH7650 unto your fathersH1, hath the LORDH3068 brought you outH3318 with a mightyH2389 handH3027, and redeemedH6299 you out of the houseH1004 of bondmenH5650, from the handH3027 of PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714.
Only the LORDH3068 had a delightH2836 in thy fathersH1 to loveH157 them, and he choseH977 their seedH2233 afterH310 them, even you above all peopleH5971, as it is this dayH3117.
For thou art an holyH6918 peopleH5971 unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and the LORDH3068 hath chosenH977 thee to be a peculiarH5459 peopleH5971 unto himself, above all the nationsH5971 that are uponH6440 the earthH127.
BlessedH835 is the nationH1471 whose GodH430 is the LORDH3068; and the peopleH5971 whom he hath chosenH977 for his own inheritanceH5159.
For he rememberedH2142 his holyH6944 promiseH1697, and AbrahamH85 his servantH5650.
And he brought forthH3318 his peopleH5971 with joyH8342, and his chosenH972 with gladnessH7440: {gladness: Heb. singing}
And gaveH5414 them the landsH776 of the heathenH1471: and they inheritedH3423 the labourH5999 of the peopleH3816;
That they might observeH8104 his statutesH2706, and keepH5341 his lawsH8451. PraiseH1984 ye the LORDH3050. {Praise…: Heb. Hallelujah}
