HearH8085 ye this, O houseH1004 of JacobH3290, which are calledH7121 by the nameH8034 of IsraelH3478, and are come forthH3318 out of the watersH4325 of JudahH3063, which swearH7650 by the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, and make mentionH2142 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, but not in truthH571, nor in righteousnessH6666.
For they callH7121 themselves of the holyH6944 cityH5892, and stayH5564 themselves upon the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is his nameH8034.
I have declaredH5046 the former thingsH7223 from the beginningH227; and they went forthH3318 out of my mouthH6310, and I shewedH8085 them; I didH6213 them suddenlyH6597, and they came to passH935.
Because I knewH1847 that thou art obstinateH7186, and thy neckH6203 is an ironH1270 sinewH1517, and thy browH4696 brassH5154; {obstinate: Heb. hard}
I have even from the beginningH227 declaredH5046 it to thee; before it came to passH935 I shewedH8085 it thee: lest thou shouldest sayH559, Mine idolH6090 hath doneH6213 them, and my graven imageH6459, and my molten imageH5262, hath commandedH6680 them.
Thou hast heardH8085, seeH2372 all this; and will not ye declareH5046 it? I have shewedH8085 thee new thingsH2319 from this timeH6258, even hidden thingsH5341, and thou didst not knowH3045 them.
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.
Yea, thou heardestH8085 not; yea, thou knewestH3045 not; yea, from that time that thine earH241 was not openedH6605: for I knewH3045 that thou wouldest deal veryH898 treacherouslyH898, and wast calledH7121 a transgressorH6586 from the wombH990.
For my name'sH8034 sake will I deferH748 mine angerH639, and for my praiseH8416 will I refrainH2413 for thee, that I cut thee not offH3772.
Behold, I have refinedH6884 thee, but not with silverH3701; I have chosenH977 thee in the furnaceH3564 of afflictionH6040. {with…: or, for silver}
For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I doH6213 it: for how should my name be pollutedH2490? and I will not giveH5414 my gloryH3519 unto anotherH312.
HearkenH8085 unto me, O JacobH3290 and IsraelH3478, my calledH7121; I am he; I am the firstH7223, I also am the lastH314.
Mine handH3027 also hath laid the foundationH3245 of the earthH776, and my right handH3225 hath spannedH2946 the heavensH8064: when I callH7121 unto them, they stand upH5975 togetherH3162. {my…: or, the palm of my right hand hath spread out}
All ye, assembleH6908 yourselves, and hearH8085; which among them hath declaredH5046 these things? The LORDH3068 hath lovedH157 him: he will doH6213 his pleasureH2656 on BabylonH894, and his armH2220 shall be on the ChaldeansH3778.
I, even I, have spokenH1696; yea, I have calledH7121 him: I have broughtH935 him, and he shall make his wayH1870 prosperousH6743.
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.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, thy RedeemerH1350, the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478; I am the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 which teachethH3925 thee to profitH3276, which leadethH1869 thee by the wayH1870 that thou shouldest goH3212.
O thatH3863 thou hadst hearkenedH7181 to my commandmentsH4687! then had thy peaceH7965 been as a riverH5104, and thy righteousnessH6666 as the wavesH1530 of the seaH3220:
Thy seedH2233 also had been as the sandH2344, and the offspringH6631 of thy bowelsH4578 like the gravelH4579 thereof; his nameH8034 should not have been cut offH3772 nor destroyedH8045 from beforeH6440 me.
Go ye forthH3318 of BabylonH894, fleeH1272 ye from the ChaldeansH3778, with a voiceH6963 of singingH7440 declareH5046 ye, tellH8085 this, utterH3318 it even to the endH7097 of the earthH776; sayH559 ye, The LORDH3068 hath redeemedH1350 his servantH5650 JacobH3290.
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.
There is no peaceH7965, saithH559 the LORDH3068, unto the wickedH7563.

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}
Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the LordH136 hath performedH1214 his whole workH4639 upon mountH2022 ZionH6726 and on JerusalemH3389, I will punishH6485 the fruitH6529 of the stoutH1433 heartH3824 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, and the gloryH8597 of his highH7312 looksH5869. {punish: Heb. visit upon} {stout…: Heb. greatness of the heart}
For he saithH559, By the strengthH3581 of my handH3027 I have doneH6213 it, and by my wisdomH2451; for I am prudentH995: and I have removedH5493 the boundsH1367 of the peopleH5971, and have robbedH8154 their treasuresH6259+H6264, and I have put downH3381 the inhabitantsH3427 like a valiantH47+H3524 man: {a valiant…: or, many people}
And my handH3027 hath foundH4672 as a nestH7064 the richesH2428 of the peopleH5971: and as one gatherethH622 eggsH1000 that are leftH5800, have I gatheredH622 all the earthH776; and there was none that movedH5074 the wingH3671, or openedH6475 the mouthH6310, or peepedH6850.
Shall the axeH1631 boastH6286 itself against him that hewethH2672 therewith? or shall the sawH4883 magnifyH1431 itself against him that shakethH5130 it? as if the rodH7626 should shakeH5130 itself against them that lift it upH7311, or as if the staffH4294 should lift upH7311 itself, as if it were no woodH6086. {the rod…: or, a rod should shake them that lift it up} {itself, as if…: or, that which is not wood}
Therefore shall the LordH113, the LordH136+H3068 of hostsH6635, sendH7971 among his fat onesH4924 leannessH7332; and under his gloryH3519 he shall kindleH3344 a burningH3350 like the burning of a fireH784.
And the lightH216 of IsraelH3478 shall be for a fireH784, and his Holy OneH6918 for a flameH3852: and it shall burnH1197 and devourH398 his thornsH7898 and his briersH8068 in oneH259 dayH3117;
And shall consumeH3615 the gloryH3519 of his forestH3293, and of his fruitful fieldH3759, both soulH5315 and bodyH1320: and they shall be as when a standardbearerH5263 faintethH4549. {both…: Heb. from the soul, and even to the flesh}
And the restH7605 of the treesH6086 of his forestH3293 shall be fewH4557, that a childH5288 may writeH3789 them. {few: Heb. number}
Behold, the former thingsH7223 are come to passH935, and new thingsH2319 do I declareH5046: before they spring forthH6779 I tellH8085 you of them.
Behold, the LordH113, the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, shall lopH5586 the boughH6288 with terrorH4637: and the high onesH7311 of statureH6967 shall be hewn downH1438, and the haughtyH1364 shall be humbledH8213.
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 he shall cut downH5362 the thicketsH5442 of the forestH3293 with ironH1270, and LebanonH3844 shall fallH5307 by a mighty oneH117. {by…: or, mightily}
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.
Behold, I will sendH5414 a blastH7307 upon him, and he shall hearH8085 a rumourH8052, and returnH7725 to his own landH776; and I will cause him to fallH5307 by the swordH2719 in his own landH776. {send…: or, put a spirit into him}
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}
Because thy rageH7264 against me, and thy tumultH7600, is come upH5927 into mine earsH241, therefore will I putH7760 my hookH2397 in thy noseH639, and my bridleH4964 in thy lipsH8193, and I will turn thee backH7725 by the wayH1870 by which thou camestH935.
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.
Then the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 went forthH3318, and smoteH5221 in the campH4264 of the AssyriansH804 a hundredH3967 and fourscoreH8084 and fiveH2568 thousandH505: and when they arose earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, behold, they were all deadH4191 corpsesH6297.
So SennacheribH5576 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 departedH5265, and wentH3212 and returnedH7725, and dweltH3427 at NinevehH5210.
And it came to pass, as he was worshippingH7812 in the houseH1004 of NisrochH5268 his godH430, that AdrammelechH152 and SharezerH8272 his sonsH1121 smoteH5221 him with the swordH2719; and they escapedH4422 into the landH776 of ArmeniaH780: and EsarhaddonH634 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead. {Armenia: Heb. Ararat}
RememberH2142 the former thingsH7223 of oldH5769: for I am GodH410, and there is none else; I am GodH430, and there is noneH657 likeH3644 me,
There failedH5307 not oughtH1697 of any goodH2896 thingH1697 which the LORDH3068 had spokenH1696 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; all came to passH935.
DeclaringH5046 the endH319 from the beginningH7225, and from ancient timesH6924 the things that are not yet doneH6213, sayingH559, My counselH6098 shall standH6965, and I will doH6213 all my pleasureH2656:
And, behold, this dayH3117 I am goingH1980 the wayH1870 of all the earthH776: and ye knowH3045 in all your heartsH3824 and in all your soulsH5315, that not oneH259 thingH1697 hath failedH5307 of all the goodH2896 thingsH1697 which the LORDH3068 your GodH430 spakeH1696 concerning you; all are come to passH935 unto you, and not oneH259 thingH1697 hath failedH5307 thereof.
Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all goodH2896 thingsH1697 are comeH935 upon you, which the LORDH3068 your GodH430 promisedH1696 you; so shall the LORDH3068 bringH935 upon you all evilH7451 thingsH1697, until he have destroyedH8045 you from off this goodH2896 landH127 which the LORDH3068 your GodH430 hath givenH5414 you.
