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.

The wickedH7563 man travailethH2342 with pain all his daysH3117, and the numberH4557 of yearsH8141 is hiddenH6845 to the oppressorH6184.
A dreadfulH6343 soundH6963 is in his earsH241: in prosperityH7965 the destroyerH7703 shall comeH935 upon him. {A dreadful…: Heb. A sound of fears}
He believethH539 not that he shall returnH7725 out of darknessH2822, and he is waitedH6822 for of the swordH2719.
He wandereth abroadH5074 for breadH3899, saying, Where is it? he knowethH3045 that the dayH3117 of darknessH2822 is readyH3559 at his handH3027.
TroubleH6862 and anguishH4691 shall make him afraidH1204; they shall prevailH8630 against him, as a kingH4428 readyH6264 to the battleH3593.
