Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 to his anointedH4899, to CyrusH3566, whose right handH3225 I have holdenH2388, to subdueH7286 nationsH1471 beforeH6440 him; and I will looseH6605 the loinsH4975 of kingsH4428, to openH6605 beforeH6440 him the two leaved gatesH1817; and the gatesH8179 shall not be shutH5462; {have…: or, strengthened}
I will goH3212 beforeH6440 thee, and makeH3474 the crooked placesH1921 straightH3474+H3474: I will break in piecesH7665 the gatesH1817 of brassH5154, and cut in sunderH1438 the barsH1280 of ironH1270:
And I will giveH5414 thee the treasuresH214 of darknessH2822, and hidden richesH4301 of secret placesH4565, that thou mayest knowH3045 that I, the LORDH3068, which callH7121 thee by thy nameH8034, am the GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
For JacobH3290 my servant'sH5650 sake, and IsraelH3478 mine electH972, I have even calledH7121 thee by thy nameH8034: I have surnamedH3655 thee, though thou hast not knownH3045 me.
I am the LORDH3068, and there is none else, there is no GodH430 besideH2108 me: I girdedH247 thee, though thou hast not knownH3045 me:
That they may knowH3045 from the risingH4217 of the sunH8121, and from the westH4628, that there is noneH657 besideH1107 me. I am the LORDH3068, and there is none else.
I formH3335 the lightH216, and createH1254 darknessH2822: I makeH6213 peaceH7965, and createH1254 evilH7451: I the LORDH3068 doH6213 all these things.
Drop downH7491, ye heavensH8064, from aboveH4605, and let the skiesH7834 pour downH5140 righteousnessH6664: let the earthH776 openH6605, and let them bring forthH6509 salvationH3468, and let righteousnessH6666 spring upH6779 togetherH3162; I the LORDH3068 have createdH1254 it.
WoeH1945 unto him that strivethH7378 with his MakerH3335! Let the potsherdH2789 strive with the potsherdsH2789 of the earthH127. Shall the clayH2563 sayH559 to him that fashionethH3335 it, What makestH6213 thou? or thy workH6467, He hath no handsH3027?
WoeH1945 unto him that saithH559 unto his fatherH1, What begettestH3205 thou? or to the womanH802, What hast thou brought forthH2342?
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, and his MakerH3335, AskH7592 me of things to comeH857 concerning my sonsH1121, and concerning the workH6467 of my handsH3027 commandH6680 ye me.
I have madeH6213 the earthH776, and createdH1254 manH120 upon it: I, even my handsH3027, have stretched outH5186 the heavensH8064, and all their hostH6635 have I commandedH6680.
I have raised him upH5782 in righteousnessH6664, and I will directH3474 all his waysH1870: he shall buildH1129 my cityH5892, and he shall let goH7971 my captivesH1546, not for priceH4242 nor rewardH7810, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. {direct: or, make straight}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, The labourH3018 of EgyptH4714, and merchandiseH5505 of EthiopiaH3568 and of the SabeansH5436, menH582 of statureH4060, shall come overH5674 unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall comeH3212 afterH310 thee; in chainsH2131 they shall come overH5674, and they shall fall downH7812 unto thee, they shall make supplicationH6419 unto thee, saying, Surely GodH410 is in thee; and there is none else, there is noH657 GodH430.
VerilyH403 thou art a GodH410 that hidestH5641 thyself, O GodH430 of IsraelH3478, the SaviourH3467.
They shall be ashamedH954, and also confoundedH3637, all of them: they shall goH1980 to confusionH3639 togetherH3162 that are makersH2796 of idolsH6736.
But IsraelH3478 shall be savedH3467 in the LORDH3068 with an everlastingH5769 salvationH8668: ye shall not be ashamedH954 nor confoundedH3637 worldH5769 without endH5703.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 that createdH1254 the heavensH8064; GodH430 himself that formedH3335 the earthH776 and madeH6213 it; he hath establishedH3559 it, he createdH1254 it not in vainH8414, he formedH3335 it to be inhabitedH3427: I am the LORDH3068; and there is none else.
I have not spokenH1696 in secretH5643, in a darkH2822 placeH4725 of the earthH776: I saidH559 not unto the seedH2233 of JacobH3290, SeekH1245 ye me in vainH8414: I the LORDH3068 speakH1696 righteousnessH6664, I declareH5046 things that are rightH4339.
AssembleH6908 yourselves and comeH935; draw nearH5066 togetherH3162, ye that are escapedH6412 of the nationsH1471: they have no knowledgeH3045 that set upH5375 the woodH6086 of their graven imageH6459, and prayH6419 unto a godH410 that cannot saveH3467.
TellH5046 ye, and bring them nearH5066; yea, let them take counselH3289 togetherH3162: who hath declaredH8085 this from ancient timeH6924? who hath toldH5046 it from that time? have not I the LORDH3068? and there is no GodH430 else besideH1107 me; a justH6662 GodH410 and a SaviourH3467; there is noneH369 besideH2108 me.
LookH6437 unto me, and be ye savedH3467, all the endsH657 of the earthH776: for I am GodH410, and there is none else.
I have swornH7650 by myself, the wordH1697 is gone outH3318 of my mouthH6310 in righteousnessH6666, and shall not returnH7725, That unto me every kneeH1290 shall bowH3766, every tongueH3956 shall swearH7650.
Surely, shall one sayH559, in the LORDH3068 have I righteousnessH6666 and strengthH5797: even to him shall men comeH935; and all that are incensedH2734 against him shall be ashamedH954. {Surely…: or, Surely he shall say of me, In the LORD is all righteousness and strength} {righteousness: Heb. righteousnesses}
In the LORDH3068 shall all the seedH2233 of IsraelH3478 be justifiedH6663, and shall gloryH1984.

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 when ye spread forthH6566 your handsH3709, I will hideH5956 mine eyesH5869 from you: yea, when ye make manyH7235 prayersH8605, I will not hearH8085: your handsH3027 are fullH4390 of bloodH1818. {make…: Heb. multiply prayer} {blood: Heb. bloods}

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}
And when they shall sayH559 unto you, SeekH1875 unto them that have familiar spiritsH178, and unto wizardsH3049 that peepH6850, and that mutterH1897: should not a peopleH5971 seekH1875 unto their GodH430? for the livingH2416 to the deadH4191?
GodH410 is not a manH376, that he should lieH3576; neither the sonH1121 of manH120, that he should repentH5162: hath he saidH559, and shall he not doH6213 it? or hath he spokenH1696, and shall he not make it goodH6965?
ComeH7126 ye nearH7126 unto me, hearH8085 ye this; I have not spokenH1696 in secretH5643 from the beginningH7218; from the timeH6256 that it was, there am I: and now the LordH136 GODH3069, and his SpiritH7307, hath sentH7971 me.
Behold, I have receivedH3947 commandment to blessH1288: and he hath blessedH1288; and I cannot reverseH7725 it.
The secretH5641 things belong unto the LORDH3068 our GodH430: but those things which are revealedH1540 belong unto us and to our childrenH1121 forH5704 everH5769, that we may doH6213 all the wordsH1697 of this lawH8451.
Let the wickedH7563 forsakeH5800 his wayH1870, and the unrighteousH205 manH376 his thoughtsH4284: and let him returnH7725 unto the LORDH3068, and he will have mercyH7355 upon him; and to our GodH430, for he will abundantlyH7235 pardonH5545. {the unrighteous…: Heb. the man of iniquity} {abundantly…: Heb. multiply to pardon}
He is the RockH6697, his workH6467 is perfectH8549: for all his waysH1870 are judgmentH4941: a GodH410 of truthH530 and without iniquityH5766, justH6662 and rightH3477 is he.
For this commandmentH4687 which I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117, it is not hiddenH6381 from thee, neither is it far offH7350.
It is not in heavenH8064, that thou shouldest sayH559, Who shall go upH5927 for us to heavenH8064, and bringH3947 it unto us, that we may hearH8085 it, and doH6213 it?
Neither is it beyondH5676 the seaH3220, that thou shouldest sayH559, Who shall goH5674 overH5676 the seaH3220 for us, and bringH3947 it unto us, that we may hearH8085 it, and doH6213 it?
But the wordH1697 is veryH3966 nighH7138 unto thee, in thy mouthH6310, and in thy heartH3824, that thou mayest doH6213 it.
CryH7121 aloudH1627, spareH2820 not, liftH7311 up thy voiceH6963 like a trumpetH7782, and shewH5046 my peopleH5971 their transgressionH6588, and the houseH1004 of JacobH3290 their sinsH2403. {aloud: Heb. with the throat}
Yet they seekH1875 me dailyH3117+H3117, and delightH2654 to knowH1847 my waysH1870, as a nationH1471 that didH6213 righteousnessH6666, and forsookH5800 not the ordinanceH4941 of their GodH430: they askH7592 of me the ordinancesH4941 of justiceH6664; they take delightH2654 in approachingH7132 to GodH430.
Wherefore have we fastedH6684, say they, and thou seestH7200 not? wherefore have we afflictedH6031 our soulH5315, and thou takest no knowledgeH3045?

She criethH7121 in the chief placeH7218 of concourseH1993, in the openingsH6607 of the gatesH8179: in the cityH5892 she utterethH559 her wordsH561, saying,
Now therefore in the sightH5869 of all IsraelH3478 the congregationH6951 of the LORDH3068, and in the audienceH241 of our GodH430, keepH8104 and seekH1875 for all the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430: that ye may possessH3423 this goodH2896 landH776, and leave it for an inheritanceH5157 for your childrenH1121 afterH310 you forH5704 everH5769.
The wordsH565 of the LORDH3068 are pureH2889 wordsH565: as silverH3701 triedH6884 in a furnaceH5948 of earthH776, purifiedH2212 seven timesH7659.
Doth not wisdomH2451 cryH7121? and understandingH8394 put forthH5414 her voiceH6963?
She standethH5324 in the topH7218 of high placesH4791, by the wayH1870 in the placesH1004 of the pathsH5410.
She criethH7442 atH3027 the gatesH8179, at the entryH6310 of the cityH7176, at the comingH3996 in at the doorsH6607.
Unto you, O menH376, I callH7121; and my voiceH6963 is to the sonsH1121 of manH120.

The lawH8451 of the LORDH3068 is perfectH8549, convertingH7725 the soulH5315: the testimonyH5715 of the LORDH3068 is sureH539, making wiseH2449 the simpleH6612. {law: or, doctrine} {converting: or, restoring}
The statutesH6490 of the LORDH3068 are rightH3477, rejoicingH8055 the heartH3820: the commandmentH4687 of the LORDH3068 is pureH1249, enlighteningH215 the eyesH5869.
The fearH3374 of the LORDH3068 is cleanH2889, enduringH5975 for everH5703: the judgmentsH4941 of the LORDH3068 are trueH571 and righteousH6663 altogetherH3162. {true: Heb. truth}
More to be desiredH2530 are they than goldH2091, yea, than muchH7227 fine goldH6337: sweeterH4966 also than honeyH1706 and the honeycombH5317+H6688. {the honeycomb: Heb. the dropping of honeycombs}
ButG2532, loG2396, he speakethG2980 boldlyG3954, andG2532 they sayG3004 nothingG3762 unto himG846. DoG1097 the rulersG758 knowG1097 indeedG3379+G230 thatG3754 thisG3778 isG2076 the veryG230 ChristG5547?
For I was ashamedH954 to requireH7592 of the kingH4428 a band of soldiersH2428 and horsemenH6571 to helpH5826 us against the enemyH341 in the wayH1870: because we had spokenH559 unto the kingH4428, sayingH559, The handH3027 of our GodH430 is upon all them for goodH2896 that seekH1245 him; but his powerH5797 and his wrathH639 is against all them that forsakeH5800 him.
The worksH4639 of his handsH3027 are verityH571 and judgmentH4941; all his commandmentsH6490 are sureH539.
ThenG3767 criedG2896 JesusG2424 inG1722 the templeG2411 as he taughtG1321+G2532, sayingG3004, Ye bothG2504 know meG1492, andG2532 ye knowG1492 whenceG4159 I amG1510: andG2532 I amG2064 notG3756 comeG2064 ofG575 myselfG1683, butG235 he that sentG3992 meG3165 isG2076 trueG228, whomG3739 yeG5210 knowG1492 notG3756.
This is the generationH1755 of them that seekH1875 him, that seekH1245 thy faceH6440, O JacobH3290. SelahH5542. {O Jacob: or, O God of Jacob}
They stand fastH5564 for everH5703 and everH5769, and are doneH6213 in truthH571 and uprightnessH3477. {stand…: Heb. are established}
InG1722 the lastG2078 dayG2250, that greatG3173 day of the feastG1859, JesusG2424 stoodG2476 andG2532 criedG2896, sayingG3004, IfG1437 any manG5100 thirstG1372, let him comeG2064 untoG4314 meG3165, andG2532 drinkG4095.
He that believethG4100 onG1519 meG1691, asG2531 the scriptureG1124 hath saidG2036, out ofG1537 hisG846 bellyG2836 shall flowG4482 riversG4215 of livingG2198 waterG5204.
(ButG1161 thisG5124 spake heG2036 ofG4012 the SpiritG4151, whichG3739 they that believeG4100 onG1519 himG846 shouldG3195 receiveG2983: forG1063 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 wasG2258 not yetG3768 given; becauseG3754 that JesusG2424 wasG1392 not yetG3764 glorifiedG1392.)
But as for me, my prayerH8605 is unto thee, O LORDH3068, in an acceptableH7522 timeH6256: O GodH430, in the multitudeH7230 of thy mercyH2617 hearH6030 me, in the truthH571 of thy salvationH3468.
JesusG2424 answeredG611 himG846, IG1473 spakeG2980 openlyG3954 to the worldG2889; IG1473 everG3842 taughtG1321 inG1722 the synagogueG4864, andG2532 inG1722 the templeG2411, whitherG3699 the JewsG2453 alwaysG3842 resortG4905; andG2532 inG1722 secretG2927 have I saidG2980 nothingG3762.
The humbleH6035 shall seeH7200 this, and be gladH8055: and your heartH3824 shall liveH2421 that seekH1875 GodH430. {humble: or, meek}
Thy testimoniesH5713 that thou hast commandedH6680 are righteousH6664 and veryH3966 faithfulH530. {righteous: Heb. righteousness} {faithful: Heb. faithfulness}
AndG2532 they wereG4130 allG537 filledG4130 with the HolyG40 GhostG4151, andG2532 beganG756 to speak withG2980 otherG2087 tonguesG1100, asG2531 the SpiritG4151 gaveG1325 themG846 utteranceG669.
AndG1161 there wereG2258 dwellingG2730 atG1722 JerusalemG2419 JewsG2453, devoutG2126 menG435, out ofG575 everyG3956 nationG1484 underG5259 heavenG3772.
NowG1161 when thisG5026 wasG1096 noised abroadG5456, the multitudeG4128 came togetherG4905, andG2532 were confoundedG4797, becauseG3754 that everyG1538 manG1520 heardG191 themG846 speakG2980 in his ownG2398 languageG1258. {was…: Gr. voice was made confounded: or, troubled in mind}
AndG1161 they wereG1839 allG3956 amazedG1839 andG2532 marvelledG2296, sayingG3004 one to anotherG4314+G240, BeholdG2400, areG1526 notG3756 allG3956 theseG3778 whichG3588 speakG2980 GalilaeansG1057?
AndG2532 howG4459 hearG191 weG2249 everyG1538 man in ourG2257 ownG2398 tongueG1258, whereinG1722+G3739 we were bornG1080?
The sacrificeH2077 of the wickedH7563 is an abominationH8441 to the LORDH3068: but the prayerH8605 of the uprightH3477 is his delightH7522.
HearH8085; for I will speakH1696 of excellent thingsH5057; and the openingH4669 of my lipsH8193 shall be right thingsH4339.
And ye shall seekH1245 me, and findH4672 me, when ye shall searchH1875 for me with all your heartH3824.
Every wordH565 of GodH433 is pureH6884: he is a shieldH4043 unto them that put their trustH2620 in him. {pure: Heb. purified}
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, SeekH1875 ye me, and ye shall liveH2421:
Your wordsH1697 have been stoutH2388 against me, saithH559 the LORDH3068. Yet ye sayH559, What have we spokenH1696 so much against thee?
Ye have saidH559, It is vainH7723 to serveH5647 GodH430: and what profitH1215 is it that we have keptH8104 his ordinanceH4931, and that we have walkedH1980 mournfullyH6941 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635? {ordinance: Heb. observation} {mournfully: Heb. in black}
ThisG3778 peopleG2992 draweth nighG1448 unto meG3427 with theirG846 mouthG4750, andG2532 honourethG5091 meG3165 with their lipsG5491; butG1161 theirG846 heartG2588 isG568 farG4206 fromG575 meG1700.
