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.

And there shall be upon every highH1364 mountainH2022, and upon every highH5375 hillH1389, riversH6388 and streamsH2988 of watersH4325 in the dayH3117 of the greatH7227 slaughterH2027, when the towersH4026 fallH5307. {high hill: Heb. lifted up, etc}
And a manH376 shall be as an hiding placeH4224 from the windH7307, and a covertH5643 from the tempestH2230; as riversH6388 of waterH4325 in a dry placeH6724, as the shadowH6738 of a greatH3515 rockH5553 in a wearyH5889 landH776. {great: Heb. heavy}
Then shall the lameH6455 man leapH1801 as an hartH354, and the tongueH3956 of the dumbH483 singH7442: for in the wildernessH4057 shall watersH4325 break outH1234, and streamsH5158 in the desertH6160.
And the parched groundH8273 shall become a poolH98, and the thirsty landH6774 springsH4002 of waterH4325: in the habitationH5116 of dragonsH8577, where each layH7258, shall be grassH2682 with reedsH7070 and rushesH1573. {grass…: or, a court for reeds, etc}
Behold, I will doH6213 a new thingH2319; now it shall spring forthH6779; shall ye not knowH3045 it? I will even makeH7760 a wayH1870 in the wildernessH4057, and riversH5104 in the desertH3452.
The beastH2416 of the fieldH7704 shall honourH3513 me, the dragonsH8577 and the owlsH1323+H3284: because I giveH5414 watersH4325 in the wildernessH4057, and riversH5104 in the desertH3452, to give drinkH8248 to my peopleH5971, my chosenH972. {owls: or, ostriches: Heb. daughters of the owl}
For I will pourH3332 waterH4325 upon him that is thirstyH6771, and floodsH5140 upon the dry groundH3004: I will pourH3332 my spiritH7307 upon thy seedH2233, and my blessingH1293 upon thine offspringH6631:
And they thirstedH6770 not when he ledH3212 them through the desertsH2723: he caused the watersH4325 to flowH5140 out of the rockH6697 for them: he claveH1234 the rockH6697 also, and the watersH4325 gushed outH2100.
That thou mayest sayH559 to the prisonersH631, Go forthH3318; to them that are in darknessH2822, ShewH1540 yourselves. They shall feedH7462 in the waysH1870, and their pasturesH4830 shall be in all high placesH8205.
They shall not hungerH7456 nor thirstH6770; neither shall the heatH8273 nor sunH8121 smiteH5221 them: for he that hath mercyH7355 on them shall leadH5090 them, even by the springsH4002 of waterH4325 shall he guideH5095 them.
And the LORDH3068 shall guideH5148 thee continuallyH8548, and satisfyH7646 thy soulH5315 in droughtH6710, and make fatH2502 thy bonesH6106: and thou shalt be like a wateredH7302 gardenH1588, and like a springH4161 of waterH4325, whose watersH4325 failH3576 not. {drought: Heb. droughts} {fail: Heb. lie, or, deceive}
There is a riverH5104, the streamsH6388 whereof shall make gladH8055 the cityH5892 of GodH430, the holyH6918 place of the tabernaclesH4908 of the most HighH5945.
He claveH1234 the rocksH6697 in the wildernessH4057, and gave them drinkH8248 as out of the greatH7227 depthsH8415.
He broughtH3318 streamsH5140 also out of the rockH5553, and caused watersH4325 to run downH3381 like riversH5104.
He openedH6605 the rockH6697, and the watersH4325 gushed outH2100; they ranH1980 in the dry placesH6723 like a riverH5104.
He turnethH7760 the wildernessH4057 into a standingH98 waterH4325, and dryH6723 groundH776 into waterspringsH4325+H4161.
Afterward he brought me againH7725 unto the doorH6607 of the houseH1004; and, behold, watersH4325 issued outH3318 from under the thresholdH4670 of the houseH1004 eastwardH6921: for the forefrontH6440 of the houseH1004 stood toward the eastH6921, and the watersH4325 came downH3381 from under from the rightH3233 sideH3802 of the houseH1004, at the southH5045 side of the altarH4196.
Then brought he me outH3318 of the wayH1870 of the gateH8179 northwardH6828, and led me aboutH5437 the wayH1870 without unto the utterH2351 gateH8179 by the wayH1870 that lookethH6437 eastwardH6921; and, behold, there ran outH6379 watersH4325 on the rightH3233 sideH3802.
And when the manH376 that had the lineH6957 in his handH3027 went forthH3318 eastwardH6921, he measuredH4058 a thousandH505 cubitsH520, and he brought me throughH5674 the watersH4325; the watersH4325 were to the anklesH657. {the waters were…: Heb. waters of the ankles}
Again he measuredH4058 a thousandH505, and brought me throughH5674 the watersH4325; the watersH4325 were to the kneesH1290. Again he measuredH4058 a thousandH505, and brought me throughH5674; the watersH4325 were to the loinsH4975.
Afterward he measuredH4058 a thousandH505; and it was a riverH5158 that I couldH3201 not pass overH5674: for the watersH4325 were risenH1342, watersH4325 to swim inH7813, a riverH5158 that could not be passed overH5674. {waters to…: Heb. waters of swimming}
And he saidH559 unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, hast thou seenH7200 this? Then he broughtH3212 me, and caused me to returnH7725 to the brinkH8193 of the riverH5158.
Now when I had returnedH7725, behold, at the bankH8193 of the riverH5158 were veryH3966 manyH7227 treesH6086 on the one side and on the other. {bank: Heb. lip}
Then saidH559 he unto me, These watersH4325 issue outH3318 toward the eastH6930 countryH1552, and go downH3381 into the desertH6160, and goH935 into the seaH3220: which being brought forthH3318 into the seaH3220, the watersH4325 shall be healedH7495. {desert: or, plain}
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that the mountainsH2022 shall drop downH5197 new wineH6071, and the hillsH1389 shall flowH3212 with milkH2461, and all the riversH650 of JudahH3063 shall flowH3212 with watersH4325, and a fountainH4599 shall come forthH3318 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and shall waterH8248 the valleyH5158 of ShittimH7851. {flow: Heb. go}
And it shall be in that dayH3117, that livingH2416 watersH4325 shall go outH3318 from JerusalemH3389; halfH2677 of them toward the formerH6931 seaH3220, and halfH2677 of them toward the hinderH314 seaH3220: in summerH7019 and in winterH2779 shall it be. {former: or, eastern}
