Yet now hearH8085, O JacobH3290 my servantH5650; and IsraelH3478, whom I have chosenH977:
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.
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 shall spring upH6779 as amongH996 the grassH2682, as willowsH6155 by the waterH4325 coursesH2988.
One shall sayH559, I am the LORD'SH3068; and another shall callH7121 himself by the nameH8034 of JacobH3290; and another shall subscribeH3789 with his handH3027 unto the LORDH3068, and surnameH3655 himself by the nameH8034 of IsraelH3478.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 the KingH4428 of IsraelH3478, and his redeemerH1350 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; I am the firstH7223, and I am the lastH314; and besideH1107 me there is no GodH430.
And who, as I, shall callH7121, and shall declareH5046 it, and set it in orderH6186 for me, since I appointedH7760 the ancientH5769 peopleH5971? and the things that are comingH857, and shall comeH935, let them shewH5046 unto them.
FearH6342 ye not, neither be afraidH7297+H7297: have not I toldH8085 thee from that timeH227, and have declaredH5046 it? ye are even my witnessesH5707. Is thereH3426 a GodH433 besideH1107 me? yea, there is no GodH6697; I knowH3045 not any. {God; I: Heb. rock, etc}
They that makeH3335 a graven imageH6459 are all of them vanityH8414; and their delectable thingsH2530 shall not profitH3276; and they are their own witnessesH5707; they seeH7200 not, nor knowH3045; that they may be ashamedH954. {delectable: Heb. desirable}
Who hath formedH3335 a godH410, or moltenH5258 a graven imageH6459 that is profitableH3276 for nothingH1115?
Behold, all his fellowsH2270 shall be ashamedH954: and the workmenH2796, they are of menH120: let them all be gathered togetherH6908, let them stand upH5975; yet they shall fearH6342, and they shall be ashamedH954 togetherH3162.
The smithH1270+H2796 with the tongsH4621 both workethH6466 in the coalsH6352, and fashionethH3335 it with hammersH4717, and workethH6466 it with the strengthH3581 of his armsH2220: yea, he is hungryH7457, and his strengthH3581 failethH369: he drinkethH8354 no waterH4325, and is faintH3286. {with the tongs: or, with an axe}
The carpenterH2796+H6086 stretcheth outH5186 his ruleH6957; he marketh it outH8388 with a lineH8279; he fittethH6213 it with planesH4741, and he marketh it outH8388 with the compassH4230, and makethH6213 it after the figureH8403 of a manH376, according to the beautyH8597 of a manH120; that it may remainH3427 in the houseH1004.
He heweth him downH3772 cedarsH730, and takethH3947 the cypressH8645 and the oakH437, which he strengthenethH553 for himself among the treesH6086 of the forestH3293: he plantethH5193 an ashH766, and the rainH1653 doth nourishH1431 it. {strengtheneth: or, taketh courage}
Then shall it be for a manH120 to burnH1197: for he will takeH3947 thereof, and warmH2552 himself; yea, he kindlethH5400 it, and bakethH644 breadH3899; yea, he makethH6466 a godH410, and worshippethH7812 it; he makethH6213 it a graven imageH6459, and falleth downH5456 thereto.
He burnethH8313 partH2677 thereof inH1119 the fireH784; with partH2677 thereof he eatethH398 fleshH1320; he roastethH6740 roastH6748, and is satisfiedH7646: yea, he warmethH2552 himself, and saithH559, AhaH1889, I am warmH2552, I have seenH7200 the fireH217:
And the residueH7611 thereof he makethH6213 a godH410, even his graven imageH6459: he falleth downH5456 unto it, and worshippethH7812 it, and prayethH6419 unto it, and saithH559, DeliverH5337 me; for thou art my godH410.
They have not knownH3045 nor understoodH995: for he hath shutH2902 their eyesH5869, that they cannot seeH7200; and their heartsH3826, that they cannot understandH7919. {shut: Heb. daubed}
And none considerethH7725 in his heartH3820, neither is there knowledgeH1847 nor understandingH8394 to sayH559, I have burnedH8313 partH2677 of it inH1119 the fireH784; yea, also I have bakedH644 breadH3899 upon the coalsH1513 thereof; I have roastedH6740 fleshH1320, and eatenH398 it: and shall I makeH6213 the residueH3499 thereof an abominationH8441? shall I fall downH5456 to the stockH944 of a treeH6086? {considereth…: Heb. setteth to his heart} {the stock…: Heb. that which comes of a tree?}
He feedethH7462 on ashesH665: a deceivedH2048 heartH3820 hath turned him asideH5186, that he cannot deliverH5337 his soulH5315, nor sayH559, Is there not a lieH8267 in my right handH3225?
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.
I have blotted outH4229, as a thick cloudH5645, thy transgressionsH6588, and, as a cloudH6051, thy sinsH2403: returnH7725 unto me; for I have redeemedH1350 thee.
SingH7442, O ye heavensH8064; for the LORDH3068 hath doneH6213 it: shoutH7321, ye lower partsH8482 of the earthH776: break forthH6476 into singingH7440, ye mountainsH2022, O forestH3293, and every treeH6086 therein: for the LORDH3068 hath redeemedH1350 JacobH3290, and glorifiedH6286 himself in IsraelH3478.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, thy redeemerH1350, and he that formedH3335 thee from the wombH990, I am the LORDH3068 that makethH6213 all things; that stretcheth forthH5186 the heavensH8064 alone; that spreadeth abroadH7554 the earthH776 by myself;
That frustratethH6565 the tokensH226 of the liarsH907, and maketh divinersH7080 madH1984; that turnethH7725 wiseH2450 men backwardH268, and maketh their knowledgeH1847 foolishH5528;
That confirmethH6965 the wordH1697 of his servantH5650, and performethH7999 the counselH6098 of his messengersH4397; that saithH559 to JerusalemH3389, Thou shalt be inhabitedH3427; and to the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, Ye shall be builtH1129, and I will raise upH6965 the decayed placesH2723 thereof: {decayed…: Heb. wastes}
That saithH559 to the deepH6683, Be dryH2717, and I will dry upH3001 thy riversH5104:
That saithH559 of CyrusH3566, He is my shepherdH7462, and shall performH7999 all my pleasureH2656: even sayingH559 to JerusalemH3389, Thou shalt be builtH1129; and to the templeH1964, Thy foundation shall be laidH3245.

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.
InclineH5186 your earH241, and comeH3212 unto me: hearH8085, and your soulH5315 shall liveH2421; and I will makeH3772 an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285 with you, even the sureH539 merciesH2617 of DavidH1732.

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.
