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.

The islesH339 sawH7200 it, and fearedH3372; the endsH7098 of the earthH776 were afraidH2729, drew nearH7126, and cameH857.
In that dayH3117 shall the branchH6780 of the LORDH3068 be beautifulH6643 and gloriousH3519, and the fruitH6529 of the earthH776 shall be excellentH1347 and comely forH8597 them that are escapedH6413 of IsraelH3478. {beautiful…: Heb. beauty and glory} {them…: Heb. the escaping}
They shall be turnedH5472 backH268, they shall be greatlyH1322 ashamedH954, that trustH982 in graven imagesH6459, that sayH559 to the molten imagesH4541, Ye are our godsH430.
They helpedH5826 every oneH376 his neighbourH7453; and every one saidH559 to his brotherH251, Be of good courageH2388. {Be…: Heb. Be strong}
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 unto me; TakeH3947 the wineH3196 cupH3563 of this furyH2534 at my handH3027, and cause all the nationsH1471, to whom I sendH7971 thee, to drinkH8248 it.
And they shall drinkH8354, and be movedH1607, and be madH1984, becauseH6440 of the swordH2719 that I will sendH7971 among them.
Then tookH3947 I the cupH3563 at the LORD'SH3068 handH3027, and made all the nationsH1471 to drinkH8248, unto whom the LORDH3068 had sentH7971 me:
To wit, JerusalemH3389, and the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and the kingsH4428 thereof, and the princesH8269 thereof, to makeH5414 them a desolationH2723, an astonishmentH8047, an hissingH8322, and a curseH7045; as it is this dayH3117;
PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and his servantsH5650, and his princesH8269, and all his peopleH5971;
And all the mingledH6154 people, and all the kingsH4428 of the landH776 of UzH5780, and all the kingsH4428 of the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430, and AshkelonH831, and AzzahH5804, and EkronH6138, and the remnantH7611 of AshdodH795,
EdomH123, and MoabH4124, and the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983,
And all the kingsH4428 of TyrusH6865, and all the kingsH4428 of ZidonH6721, and the kingsH4428 of the islesH339 which are beyondH5676 the seaH3220, {isles: or, region by the sea side}
DedanH1719, and TemaH8485, and BuzH938, and all that are in the utmostH7112 cornersH6285, {that…: Heb. cut off into corners, or, having the corners of the hair polled}
And all the kingsH4428 of ArabiaH6152, and all the kingsH4428 of the mingled peopleH6154 that dwellH7931 in the desertH4057,
And all the kingsH4428 of ZimriH2174, and all the kingsH4428 of ElamH5867, and all the kingsH4428 of the MedesH4074,
And all the kingsH4428 of the northH6828, farH7350 and nearH7138, oneH376 with anotherH251, and all the kingdomsH4467 of the worldH776, which are upon the faceH6440 of the earthH127: and the kingH4428 of SheshachH8347 shall drinkH8354 afterH310 them.
Therefore thou shalt sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; DrinkH8354 ye, and be drunkenH7937, and spueH7006, and fallH5307, and riseH6965 no more, becauseH6440 of the swordH2719 which I will sendH7971 among you.
And it shall be, if they refuseH3985 to takeH3947 the cupH3563 at thine handH3027 to drinkH8354, then shalt thou sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; Ye shall certainlyH8354 drinkH8354.
For, lo, I beginH2490 to bring evilH7489 on the cityH5892 which is calledH7121 by my nameH8034, and should ye be utterlyH5352 unpunishedH5352? Ye shall not be unpunishedH5352: for I will callH7121 for a swordH2719 upon all the inhabitantsH3427 of the earthH776, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. {which…: Heb. upon which my name is called}
ProduceH7126 your causeH7379, saithH559 the LORDH3068; bring forthH5066 your strongH6110 reasons, saithH559 the KingH4428 of JacobH3290. {Produce: Heb. Cause to come near}
The voiceH6963 of them that fleeH5127 and escape outH6405 of the landH776 of BabylonH894, to declareH5046 in ZionH6726 the vengeanceH5360 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430, the vengeanceH5360 of his templeH1964.
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?
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.
Flee outH5127 of the midstH8432 of BabylonH894, and deliverH4422 every manH376 his soulH5315: be not cut offH1826 in her iniquityH5771; for this is the timeH6256 of the LORD'SH3068 vengeanceH5360; he will renderH7999 unto her a recompenceH1576.
BabylonH894 hath been a goldenH2091 cupH3563 in the LORD'SH3068 handH3027, that made all the earthH776 drunkenH7937: the nationsH1471 have drunkenH8354 of her wineH3196; therefore the nationsH1471 are madH1984.
BabylonH894 is suddenlyH6597 fallenH5307 and destroyedH7665: howlH3213 for her; takeH3947 balmH6875 for her painH4341, if so be she may be healedH7495.
We would have healedH7495 BabylonH894, but she is not healedH7495: forsakeH5800 her, and let us goH3212 every oneH376 into his own countryH776: for her judgmentH4941 reachethH5060 unto heavenH8064, and is lifted upH5375 even to the skiesH7834.
They bearH5375 him upon the shoulderH3802, they carryH5445 him, and set him in his placeH3240, and he standethH5975; from his placeH4725 shall he not removeH4185: yea, one shall cryH6817 unto him, yet can he not answerH6030, nor saveH3467 him out of his troubleH6869.
ThatG3754 atG1722 thatG1565 timeG2540 ye wereG2258 withoutG5565 ChristG5547, being aliensG526 from the commonwealthG4174 of IsraelG2474, andG2532 strangersG3581 from the covenantsG1242 of promiseG1860, havingG2192 noG3361 hopeG1680, andG2532 without GodG112 inG1722 the worldG2889:
They are createdH1254 now, and not from the beginning; even beforeH6440 the dayH3117 when thou heardestH8085 them not; lest thou shouldest sayH559, Behold, I knewH3045 them.
AndG2532 that he might reconcileG604 bothG297 unto GodG2316 inG1722 oneG1520 bodyG4983 byG1223 the crossG4716, having slainG615 the enmityG2189 therebyG1722+G846: {thereby: or, in himself}
And they tookH3947 the bullockH6499 which was givenH5414 them, and they dressedH6213 it, and calledH7121 on the nameH8034 of BaalH1168 from morningH1242 even until noonH6672, sayingH559, O BaalH1168, hearH6030 us. But there was noH369 voiceH6963, nor any that answeredH6030. And they leapedH6452 upon the altarH4196 which was madeH6213. {hear: or, answer} {answered: or, heard} {leaped…: or, leaped up and down at the altar}
And it came to pass at noonH6672, that ElijahH452 mockedH2048 them, and saidH559, CryH7121 aloudH1419+H6963: for he is a godH430; either he is talkingH7879, or he is pursuingH7873, or he is in a journeyH1870, or peradventureH194 he sleepethH3463, and must be awakedH3364. {aloud: Heb. with a great voice} {he is talking: or, he meditateth} {is pursuing: Heb. hath a pursuit}
And they criedH7121 aloudH6963+H1419, and cutH1413 themselves after their mannerH4941 with knivesH2719 and lancetsH7420, till the bloodH1818 gushed outH8210 upon them. {the blood…: Heb. poured out blood upon them}
And it came to pass, when middayH6672 was pastH5674, and they prophesiedH5012 until the time of the offeringH5927 of the evening sacrificeH4503, that there was neither voiceH6963, nor any to answerH6030, nor any that regardedH7182. {offering: Heb. ascending} {that regarded: Heb. attention}
ForG3754 allG3956 nationsG1484 have drunkG4095 ofG1537 the wineG3631 of the wrathG2372 of herG846 fornicationG4202, andG2532 the kingsG935 of the earthG1093 have committed fornicationG4203 withG3326 herG846, andG2532 the merchantsG1713 of the earthG1093 are waxed richG4147 throughG1537 the abundanceG1411 of herG846 delicaciesG4764. {abundance: or, power}
AndG2532 I heardG191 anotherG243 voiceG5456 fromG1537 heavenG3772, sayingG3004, ComeG1831 out ofG1537 herG846, myG3450 peopleG2992, thatG3363 ye beG4790 notG3363 partakersG4790 of herG846 sinsG266, andG2532 thatG3363 ye receiveG2983 notG3363 ofG1537 herG846 plaguesG4127.
ForG3754 herG846 sinsG266 have reachedG190+G2853 untoG891 heavenG3772, andG2532 GodG2316 hath rememberedG3421 herG846 iniquitiesG92.
RewardG591 herG846 evenG2532 asG5613 sheG846+G3778 rewardedG591 youG5213, andG2532 doubleG1363 unto herG846 doubleG1362 according toG2596 herG846 worksG2041: inG1722 the cupG4221 whichG3739 she hath filledG2767 fillG2767 to herG846 doubleG1362.
How muchG3745 she hath glorifiedG1392 herselfG1438, andG2532 lived deliciouslyG4763, so muchG5118 tormentG929 andG2532 sorrowG3997 giveG1325 herG846: forG3754 she saithG3004 inG1722 herG846 heartG2588, I sitG2521 a queenG938, andG2532 amG1510 noG3756 widowG5503, andG2532 shall seeG1492 noG3364 sorrowG3997.
ThereforeG5124+G1223 shallG2240 herG846 plaguesG4127 comeG2240 inG1722 oneG3391 dayG2250, deathG2288, andG2532 mourningG3997, andG2532 famineG3042; andG2532 she shall be utterly burnedG2618 withG1722 fireG4442: forG3754 strongG2478 is the LordG2962 GodG2316 whoG3588 judgethG2919 herG846.
AndG2532 the kingsG935 of the earthG1093, whoG3588 have committed fornicationG4203 andG2532 lived deliciouslyG4763 withG3326 herG846, shall bewailG2799 herG846, andG2532 lamentG2875 forG1909 herG846, whenG3752 they shall seeG991 the smokeG2586 of herG846 burningG4451,
StandingG2476 afarG3113 offG575 forG1223 the fearG5401 of herG846 tormentG929, sayingG3004, AlasG3759, alasG3759, that greatG3173 cityG4172 BabylonG897, that mightyG2478 cityG4172! forG3754 inG1722 oneG3391 hourG5610 isG2064 thyG4675 judgmentG2920 comeG2064.
AndG2532 the merchantsG1713 of the earthG1093 shall weepG2799 andG2532 mournG3996 overG1909 herG846; forG3754 no manG3762 buyethG59 theirG846 merchandiseG1117 any moreG3765:
The merchandiseG1117 of goldG5557, andG2532 silverG696, andG2532 preciousG5093 stonesG3037, andG2532 of pearlsG3135, andG2532 fine linenG1040, andG2532 purpleG4209, andG2532 silkG4596, andG2532 scarletG2847, andG2532 allG3956 thyineG2367 woodG3586, andG2532 all mannerG3956 vesselsG4632 of ivoryG1661, andG2532 all mannerG3956 vesselsG4632 ofG1537 most preciousG5093 woodG3586, andG2532 of brassG5475, andG2532 ironG4604, andG2532 marbleG3139, {thyine: or, sweet}
AndG2532 cinnamonG2792, andG2532 odoursG2368, andG2532 ointmentsG3464, andG2532 frankincenseG3030, andG2532 wineG3631, andG2532 oilG1637, andG2532 fine flourG4585, andG2532 wheatG4621, andG2532 beastsG2934, andG2532 sheepG4263, andG2532 horsesG2462, andG2532 chariotsG4480, andG2532 slavesG4983, andG2532 soulsG5590 of menG444. {slaves: or, bodies}
AndG2532 the fruitsG3703 that thyG4675 soulG5590 lusted afterG1939 are departedG565 fromG575 theeG4675, andG2532 all thingsG3956 whichG3588 were daintyG3045 andG2532 goodlyG2986 are departedG565 fromG575 theeG4675, andG2532 thou shalt findG2147 themG846 no moreG3765 at allG3364.
The merchantsG1713 of these thingsG5130, whichG3588 were made richG4147 byG575 herG846, shall standG2476 afarG3113 offG575 forG1223 the fearG5401 of herG846 tormentG929, weepingG2799 andG2532 wailingG3996,
AndG2532 sayingG3004, AlasG3759, alasG3759, that greatG3173 cityG4172, that was clothed inG4016 fine linenG1039, andG2532 purpleG4210, andG2532 scarletG2847, andG2532 deckedG5558 withG1722 goldG5557, andG2532 preciousG5093 stonesG3037, andG2532 pearlsG3135!
ForG3754 in oneG3391 hourG5610 so greatG5118 richesG4149 is come to noughtG2049. AndG2532 everyG3956 shipmasterG2942, andG2532 allG3956 the companyG3658 inG1909 shipsG4143, andG2532 sailorsG3492, andG2532 as many asG3745 tradeG2038 by seaG2281, stoodG2476 afarG3113 offG575,
AndG2532 criedG2896 when they sawG3708 the smokeG2586 of herG846 burningG4451, sayingG3004, WhatG5101 city is likeG3664 unto this greatG3173 cityG4172!
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}
But they are altogetherH259 brutishH1197 and foolishH3688: the stockH6086 is a doctrineH4148 of vanitiesH1892. {altogether: Heb. in one, or, at once}
Every manH120 is brutishH1197 in his knowledgeH1847: every founderH6884 is confoundedH3001 by the graven imageH6459: for his molten imageH5262 is falsehoodH8267, and there is no breathH7307 in them. {brutish in his knowledge: or, more brutish than to know}
Every manH120 is brutishH1197 by his knowledgeH1847; every founderH6884 is confoundedH3001 by the graven imageH6459: for his molten imageH5262 is falsehoodH8267, and there is no breathH7307 in them. {is brutish…: or, is more brutish than to know}
They are vanityH1892, the workH4639 of errorsH8595: in the timeH6256 of their visitationH6486 they shall perishH6.
What profitethH3276 the graven imageH6459 that the makerH3335 thereof hath gravenH6458 it; the molten imageH4541, and a teacherH3384 of liesH8267, that the makerH3335 of his workH3336 trustethH982 therein, to makeH6213 dumbH483 idolsH457? {maker of…: Heb. fashioner of his fashion}
WoeH1945 unto him that saithH559 to the woodH6086, AwakeH6974; to the dumbH1748 stoneH68, AriseH5782, it shall teachH3384! Behold, it is laidH8610 over with goldH2091 and silverH3701, and there is no breathH7307 at all in the midstH7130 of it.
But the LORDH3068 is in his holyH6944 templeH1964: let all the earthH776 keep silenceH2013 beforeH6440 him. {let…: Heb. be silent all the earth before him}
BecauseG1360 that, when they knewG1097 GodG2316, they glorifiedG1392 him notG3756 asG5613 GodG2316, neitherG2228 were thankfulG2168; butG235 became vainG3154 inG1722 theirG846 imaginationsG1261, andG2532 theirG846 foolishG801 heartG2588 was darkenedG4654.
Professing themselvesG5335 to beG1511 wiseG4680, they became foolsG3471,
AndG2532 changedG236 the gloryG1391 of the uncorruptibleG862 GodG2316 intoG1722 an imageG1504 made likeG3667 to corruptibleG5349 manG444, andG2532 to birdsG4071, andG2532 fourfooted beastsG5074, andG2532 creeping thingsG2062.
