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.
When thou passest throughH5674 the watersH4325, I will be with thee; and through the riversH5104, they shall not overflowH7857 thee: when thou walkestH3212 throughH1119 the fireH784, thou shalt not be burnedH3554; neither shall the flameH3852 kindleH1197 upon thee.
For I am the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, thy SaviourH3467: I gaveH5414 EgyptH4714 for thy ransomH3724, EthiopiaH3568 and SebaH5434 for thee.
Since thou wast preciousH3365 in my sightH5869, thou hast been honourableH3513, and I have lovedH157 thee: therefore will I giveH5414 menH120 for thee, and peopleH3816 for thy lifeH5315. {life: or, person}
FearH3372 not: for I am with thee: I will bringH935 thy seedH2233 from the eastH4217, and gatherH6908 thee from the westH4628;
I will sayH559 to the northH6828, Give upH5414; and to the southH8486, Keep not backH3607: bringH935 my sonsH1121 from farH7350, and my daughtersH1323 from the endsH7097 of the earthH776;
Even every oneH3605 that is calledH7121 by my nameH8034: for I have createdH1254 him for my gloryH3519, I have formedH3335 him; yea, I have madeH6213 him.
Bring forthH3318 the blindH5787 peopleH5971 that haveH3426 eyesH5869, and the deafH2795 that have earsH241.
Let all the nationsH1471 be gatheredH6908 togetherH3162, and let the peopleH3816 be assembledH622: who among them can declareH5046 this, and shewH8085 us former thingsH7223? let them bring forthH5414 their witnessesH5707, that they may be justifiedH6663: or let them hearH8085, and sayH559, It is truthH571.
Ye are my witnessesH5707, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and my servantH5650 whom I have chosenH977: that ye may knowH3045 and believeH539 me, and understandH995 that I am he: beforeH6440 me there was no GodH410 formedH3335, neither shall there be afterH310 me. {no…: or, nothing formed of God}
I, even I, am the LORDH3068; and besideH1107 me there is no saviourH3467.
I have declaredH5046, and have savedH3467, and I have shewedH8085, when there was no strangeH2114 god among you: therefore ye are my witnessesH5707, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that I am GodH410.
Yea, before the dayH3117 was I am he; and there is none that can deliverH5337 out of my handH3027: I will workH6466, and who shall letH7725 it? {let it: Heb. turn it back?}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, your redeemerH1350, the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478; For your sake I have sentH7971 to BabylonH894, and have brought downH3381 all their noblesH1281, and the ChaldeansH3778, whose cryH7440 is in the shipsH591. {nobles: Heb. bars}
I am the LORDH3068, your Holy OneH6918, the creatorH1254 of IsraelH3478, your KingH4428.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, which makethH5414 a wayH1870 in the seaH3220, and a pathH5410 in the mightyH5794 watersH4325;
Which bringeth forthH3318 the chariotH7393 and horseH5483, the armyH2428 and the powerH5808; they shall lie downH7901 togetherH3162, they shall not riseH6965: they are extinctH1846, they are quenchedH3518 as towH6594.
RememberH2142 ye not the former thingsH7223, neither considerH995 the things of oldH6931.
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}
ThisH2098 peopleH5971 have I formedH3335 for myself; they shall shew forthH5608 my praiseH8416.
But thou hast not calledH7121 upon me, O JacobH3290; but thou hast been wearyH3021 of me, O IsraelH3478.
Thou hast not broughtH935 me the small cattleH7716 of thy burnt offeringsH5930; neither hast thou honouredH3513 me with thy sacrificesH2077. I have not caused thee to serveH5647 with an offeringH4503, nor weariedH3021 thee with incenseH3828. {small…: Heb. lambs, or, kids}
Thou hast boughtH7069 me no sweet caneH7070 with moneyH3701, neither hast thou filledH7301 me with the fatH2459 of thy sacrificesH2077: but thou hast made me to serveH5647 with thy sinsH2403, thou hast weariedH3021 me with thine iniquitiesH5771. {filled…: Heb. made me drunk, or, abundantly moistened}
I, even I, am he that blotteth outH4229 thy transgressionsH6588 for mine own sake, and will not rememberH2142 thy sinsH2403.
Put me in remembranceH2142: let us pleadH8199 togetherH3162: declareH5608 thou, that thou mayest be justifiedH6663.
Thy firstH7223 fatherH1 hath sinnedH2398, and thy teachersH3887 have transgressedH6586 against me. {teachers: Heb. interpreters}
Therefore I have profanedH2490 the princesH8269 of the sanctuaryH6944, and have givenH5414 JacobH3290 to the curseH2764, and IsraelH3478 to reproachesH1421. {princes…: or, holy princes}

Come nowH3212, and let us reason togetherH3198, saithH559 the LORDH3068: though your sinsH2399 be as scarletH8144, they shall be as whiteH3835 as snowH7950; though they be redH119 like crimsonH8438, they shall be as woolH6785.
Let all the nationsH1471 be gatheredH6908 togetherH3162, and let the peopleH3816 be assembledH622: who among them can declareH5046 this, and shewH8085 us former thingsH7223? let them bring forthH5414 their witnessesH5707, that they may be justifiedH6663: or let them hearH8085, and sayH559, It is truthH571.
And thou saidstH559, I will surelyH3190 do thee goodH3190, and makeH7760 thy seedH2233 as the sandH2344 of the seaH3220, which cannot be numberedH5608 for multitudeH7230.
Gird upH247 thy loinsH2504 now like a manH1397: I will demandH7592 of thee, and declareH3045 thou unto me.
O that one might pleadH3198 for a manH1397 with GodH433, as a manH120 pleadeth for his neighbourH1121+H7453! {neighbour: or, friend}
Wilt thou also disannulH6565 my judgmentH4941? wilt thou condemnH7561 me, that thou mayest be righteousH6663?
Oh thatH5414 I knewH3045 where I might findH4672 him! that I might comeH935 even to his seatH8499!
I would orderH6186 my causeH4941 beforeH6440 him, and fillH4390 my mouthH6310 with argumentsH8433.
I would knowH3045 the wordsH4405 which he would answerH6030 me, and understandH995 what he would sayH559 unto me.
Will he pleadH7378 againstH5978 me with his greatH7230 powerH3581? No; but he would putH7760 strength in me.
ButG1161 he, willingG2309 to justifyG1344 himselfG1438, saidG2036 untoG4314 JesusG2424, AndG2532 whoG5101 isG2076 myG3450 neighbourG4139?
Behold, I am vileH7043; what shall I answerH7725 thee? I will layH7760 mine handH3027 uponH3926 my mouthH6310.
AndG2532 he saidG2036 unto themG846, YeG5210 areG2075 they which justifyG1344 yourselvesG1438 beforeG1799 menG444; butG1161 GodG2316 knowethG1097 yourG5216 heartsG2588: forG3754 that which is highly esteemedG5308 amongG1722 menG444 isG2076 abominationG946 in the sightG1799 of GodG2316.
OnceH259 have I spokenH1696; but I will not answerH6030: yea, twiceH8147; but I will proceed no furtherH3254.
AndG1161 he spakeG2036+G2532 thisG5026 parableG3850 untoG4314 certainG5100 whichG3588 trustedG3982 inG1909 themselvesG1438 thatG3754 they wereG1526 righteousG1342, andG2532 despisedG1848 othersG3062: {that…: or, as being righteous}
TwoG1417 menG444 went upG305 intoG1519 the templeG2411 to prayG4336; the oneG1520 a PhariseeG5330, andG2532 the otherG2087 a publicanG5057.
The PhariseeG5330 stoodG2476 and prayedG4336 thusG5023 withG4314 himselfG1438, GodG2316, I thankG2168 theeG4671, thatG3754 I amG1510 notG3756 asG5618 otherG3062 menG444 are, extortionersG727, unjustG94, adulterersG3432, orG2228 evenG2532 asG5613 thisG3778 publicanG5057.
I fastG3522 twiceG1364 in the weekG4521, I give tithesG586 of allG3956 thatG3745 I possessG2932.
AndG2532 the publicanG5057, standingG2476 afar offG3113, wouldG2309 notG3756 lift upG1869 so much asG3761 his eyesG3788 untoG1519 heavenG3772, butG235 smoteG5180 uponG1519 hisG846 breastG4738, sayingG3004, GodG2316 be mercifulG2433 to meG3427 a sinnerG268.
I tellG3004 youG5213, this manG3778 went downG2597 toG1519 hisG846 houseG3624 justifiedG1344 rather thanG2228 the otherG1565: forG3754 every oneG3956 that exaltethG5312 himselfG1438 shall be abasedG5013; andG1161 he that humblethG5013 himselfG1438 shall be exaltedG5312.
Let my prayerH8605 be set forthH3559 beforeH6440 thee as incenseH7004; and the lifting upH4864 of my handsH3709 as the eveningH6153 sacrificeH4503. {set…: Heb. directed}
WhoG5101 shall lay any thingG1458 to the chargeG2596 of God'sG2316 electG1588? It is GodG2316 that justifiethG1344.
Yet I had plantedH5193 thee a noble vineH8321, wholly a rightH571 seedH2233: how then art thou turnedH2015 into the degenerate plantH5494 of a strangeH5237 vineH1612 unto me?
For though thou washH3526 thee with nitreH5427, and take thee muchH7235 soapH1287, yet thine iniquityH5771 is markedH3799 beforeH6440 me, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
How canst thou sayH559, I am not pollutedH2930, I have not goneH1980 afterH310 BaalimH1168? seeH7200 thy wayH1870 in the valleyH1516, knowH3045 what thou hast doneH6213: thou art a swiftH7031 dromedaryH1072 traversingH8308 her waysH1870; {thou art…: or, O swift dromedary}
A wild assH6501 usedH3928 to the wildernessH4057, that snuffeth upH7602 the windH7307 at her pleasureH185+H5315; in her occasionH8385 who can turn her awayH7725? all they that seekH1245 her will not wearyH3286 themselves; in her monthH2320 they shall findH4672 her. {A wild…: or, O wild ass, etc} {used: Heb. taught} {her pleasure: Heb. the desire of her heart} {turn…: or, reverse it?}
WithholdH4513 thy footH7272 from being unshodH3182, and thy throatH1627 from thirstH6773: but thou saidstH559, There is no hopeH2976: no; for I have lovedH157 strangersH2114, and afterH310 them will I goH3212. {There…: or, Is the case desperate?}
As the thiefH1590 is ashamedH1322 when he is foundH4672, so is the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 ashamedH3001; they, their kingsH4428, their princesH8269, and their priestsH3548, and their prophetsH5030,
SayingH559 to a stockH6086, Thou art my fatherH1; and to a stoneH68, Thou hast brought me forthH3205: for they have turnedH6437 their backH6203 unto me, and not their faceH6440: but in the timeH6256 of their troubleH7451 they will sayH559, AriseH6965, and saveH3467 us. {brought…: or, begotten me} {their back: Heb. the hinder part of the neck}
But where are thy godsH430 that thou hast madeH6213 thee? let them ariseH6965, if they can saveH3467 thee in the timeH6256 of thy troubleH7451: for according to the numberH4557 of thy citiesH5892 are thy godsH430, O JudahH3063. {trouble: Heb. evil}
Wherefore will ye pleadH7378 with me? ye all have transgressedH6586 against me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
In vainH7723 have I smittenH5221 your childrenH1121; they receivedH3947 no correctionH4148: your own swordH2719 hath devouredH398 your prophetsH5030, like a destroyingH7843 lionH738.
O generationH1755, seeH7200 ye the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068. Have I been a wildernessH4057 unto IsraelH3478? a landH776 of darknessH3991? wherefore sayH559 my peopleH5971, We are lordsH7300; we will comeH935 no more unto thee? {We are…: Heb. We have dominion}
Can a maidH1330 forgetH7911 her ornamentsH5716, or a brideH3618 her attireH7196? yet my peopleH5971 have forgottenH7911 me daysH3117 without numberH4557.
Why trimmestH3190 thou thy wayH1870 to seekH1245 loveH160? therefore hast thou also taughtH3925 the wicked onesH7451 thy waysH1870.
Also in thy skirtsH3671 is foundH4672 the bloodH1818 of the soulsH5315 of the poorH34 innocentsH5355: I have not foundH4672 it by secret searchH4290, but upon all these. {secret…: Heb. digging}
Yet thou sayestH559, Because I am innocentH5352, surely his angerH639 shall turnH7725 from me. Behold, I will pleadH8199 with thee, because thou sayestH559, I have not sinnedH2398.
ForG1063 they being ignorantG50 of God'sG2316 righteousnessG1343, andG2532 going aboutG2212 to establishG2476 their ownG2398 righteousnessG1343, haveG5293 notG3756 submitted themselvesG5293 unto the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316.
