ButG2532 yeG5210 haveG2192 an unctionG5545 fromG575 the Holy OneG40, andG2532 ye knowG1492 all thingsG3956.
ButG2532 the anointingG5545 whichG3739 yeG5210 have receivedG2983 ofG575 himG846 abidethG3306 inG1722 youG5213, andG2532 ye needG5532+G2192 notG3756 thatG2443 any manG5100 teachG1321 youG5209: butG235 asG5613 the sameG846 anointingG5545 teachethG1321 youG5209 ofG4012 all thingsG3956, andG2532 isG2076 truthG227, andG2532 isG2076 noG3756 lieG5579, andG2532 even asG2531 it hath taughtG1321 youG5209, ye shall abideG3306 inG1722 himG846. {in him: or, in it}
AndG2532 whenG3752 he putteth forthG1544 his ownG2398 sheepG4263, he goethG4198 beforeG1715 themG846, andG2532 the sheepG4263 followG190 himG846: forG3754 they knowG1492 hisG846 voiceG5456.
AndG1161 a strangerG245 will theyG190 notG3364 followG190, butG235 will fleeG5343 fromG575 himG846: forG3754 they knowG1492 notG3756 the voiceG5456 of strangersG245.
IG1473 canG1410 ofG575 mine own selfG1683 doG4160 nothingG3756+G3762: asG2531 I hearG191, I judgeG2919: andG2532 myG1699 judgmentG2920 isG2076 justG1342; becauseG3754 I seekG2212 notG3756 mine ownG1699 willG2307, butG235 the willG2307 of the FatherG3962 which hath sentG3992 meG3165.
The LordH136 GODH3069 hath givenH5414 me the tongueH3956 of the learnedH3928, that I should knowH3045 how to speakH5790 a wordH1697 in season to him that is wearyH3287: he wakenethH5782 morningH1242 by morningH1242, he wakenethH5782 mine earH241 to hearH8085 as the learnedH3928.
The LordH136 GODH3069 hath openedH6605 mine earH241, and I was not rebelliousH4784, neither turned awayH5472 backH268.
I gaveH5414 my backH1460 to the smitersH5221, and my cheeksH3895 to them that plucked offH4803 the hair: I hidH5641 not my faceH6440 from shameH3639 and spittingH7536.
I will instructH7919 thee and teachH3384 thee in the wayH1870 whichH2098 thou shalt goH3212: I will guideH3289 thee with mine eyeH5869. {guide…: Heb. counsel thee, mine eye shall be upon thee}
Be ye not as the horseH5483, or as the muleH6505, which have no understandingH995: whose mouthH5716 must be heldH1102 in with bitH4964 and bridleH7448, lestH1077 they come nearH7126 unto thee.
WoeH1945 to the rebelliousH5637 childrenH1121, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that takeH6213 counselH6098, but not of me; and that coverH5258 with a coveringH4541, but not of my spiritH7307, that they may addH5595 sinH2403 to sinH2403:
That walkH1980 to go downH3381 into EgyptH4714, and have not askedH7592 at my mouthH6310; to strengthenH5810 themselves in the strengthH4581 of PharaohH6547, and to trustH2620 in the shadowH6738 of EgyptH4714!
Therefore shall the strengthH4581 of PharaohH6547 be your shameH1322, and the trustH2622 in the shadowH6738 of EgyptH4714 your confusionH3639.
For his princesH8269 were at ZoanH6814, and his ambassadorsH4397 cameH5060 to HanesH2609.
They were all ashamedH3001 of a peopleH5971 that could not profitH3276 them, nor be an helpH5828 nor profitH3276, but a shameH1322, and also a reproachH2781.
The burdenH4853 of the beastsH929 of the southH5045: into the landH776 of troubleH6869 and anguishH6695, from whence come the youngH3833 and old lionH3918, the viperH660 and fieryH8314 flyingH5774 serpentH8314, they will carryH5375 their richesH2428 upon the shouldersH3802 of young assesH5895, and their treasuresH214 upon the bunchesH1707 of camelsH1581, to a peopleH5971 that shall not profitH3276 them.
For the EgyptiansH4714 shall helpH5826 in vainH1892, and to no purposeH7385: therefore have I criedH7121 concerning thisH2063, TheirH1992 strengthH7293 is to sit stillH7674. {concerning…: or, to her}
Now goH935, writeH3789 it before them in a tableH3871, and noteH2710 it in a bookH5612, that it may be for the timeH3117 to comeH314 forH5704 everH5703 and everH5769: {the…: Heb. the latter day}
That this is a rebelliousH4805 peopleH5971, lyingH3586 childrenH1121, childrenH1121 that willH14 not hearH8085 the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068:
Which sayH559 to the seersH7200, SeeH7200 not; and to the prophetsH2374, ProphesyH2372 not unto us right thingsH5229, speakH1696 unto us smooth thingsH2513, prophesyH2372 deceitsH4123:
Get you outH5493 of the wayH1870, turn asideH5186 out of the pathH734, cause the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478 to ceaseH7673 from beforeH6440 us.
Wherefore thus saithH559 the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, Because ye despiseH3988 this wordH1697, and trustH982 in oppressionH6233 and perversenessH3868, and stayH8172 thereon: {oppression: or, fraud}
Therefore this iniquityH5771 shall be to you as a breachH6556 ready to fallH5307, swelling outH1158 in a highH7682 wallH2346, whose breakingH7667 comethH935 suddenlyH6597 at an instantH6621.
And he shall breakH7665 it as the breakingH7667 of the potters'H3335 vesselH5035 that is broken in piecesH3807; he shall not spareH2550: so that there shall not be foundH4672 in the burstingH4386 of it a sherdH2789 to takeH2846 fireH784 from the hearthH3344, or to takeH2834 waterH4325 withal out of the pitH1360. {the potters'…: Heb. the bottle of potters}
For thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069, the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478; In returningH7729 and restH5183 shall ye be savedH3467; in quietnessH8252 and in confidenceH985 shall be your strengthH1369: and ye wouldH14 not.
But ye saidH559, No; for we will fleeH5127 upon horsesH5483; therefore shall ye fleeH5127: and, We will rideH7392 upon the swiftH7031; therefore shall they that pursueH7291 you be swiftH7043.
OneH259 thousandH505 shall flee atH6440 the rebukeH1606 of oneH259; atH6440 the rebukeH1606 of fiveH2568 shall ye fleeH5127: till ye be leftH3498 as a beaconH8650 upon the topH7218 of a mountainH2022, and as an ensignH5251 on an hillH1389. {a beacon: or, a tree bereft of branches, or, boughs: or, a mast}
And therefore will the LORDH3068 waitH2442, that he may be graciousH2603 unto you, and therefore will he be exaltedH7311, that he may have mercyH7355 upon you: for the LORDH3068 is a GodH430 of judgmentH4941: blessedH835 are all they that waitH2442 for him.
For the peopleH5971 shall dwellH3427 in ZionH6726 at JerusalemH3389: thou shalt weepH1058 no moreH1058: he will be veryH2603 graciousH2603 unto thee at the voiceH6963 of thy cryH2199; when he shall hearH8085 it, he will answerH6030 thee.
And though the LordH136 giveH5414 you the breadH3899 of adversityH6862, and the waterH4325 of afflictionH3906, yet shall not thy teachersH3384 be removed into a cornerH3670 any more, but thine eyesH5869 shall seeH7200 thy teachersH3384: {affliction: or, oppression}
And thine earsH241 shall hearH8085 a wordH1697 behindH310 thee, sayingH559, This is the wayH1870, walk ye in itH3212, when ye turn to the right handH541, and when ye turn to the leftH8041.
Ye shall defileH2930 also the coveringH6826 of thy graven imagesH6456 of silverH3701, and the ornamentH642 of thy molten imagesH4541 of goldH2091: thou shalt cast them awayH2219 as a menstruous clothH1739; thou shalt sayH559 unto it, Get thee henceH3318. {thy graven…: Heb. the graven images of thy silver} {cast: Heb. scatter}
Then shall he giveH5414 the rainH4306 of thy seedH2233, that thou shalt sowH2232 the groundH127 withal; and breadH3899 of the increaseH8393 of the earthH127, and it shall be fatH1879 and plenteousH8082: in that dayH3117 shall thy cattleH4735 feedH7462 in largeH7337 pasturesH3733.
The oxenH504 likewise and the young assesH5895 that earH5647 the groundH127 shall eatH398 cleanH2548 provenderH1098, which hath been winnowedH2219 with the shovelH7371 and with the fanH4214. {clean: or, savoury: Heb. leavened}
And there shall be upon every highH1364 mountainH2022, and upon every highH5375 hillH1389, riversH6388 and streamsH2988 of watersH4325 in the dayH3117 of the greatH7227 slaughterH2027, when the towersH4026 fallH5307. {high hill: Heb. lifted up, etc}
Moreover the lightH216 of the moonH3842 shall be as the lightH216 of the sunH2535, and the lightH216 of the sunH2535 shall be sevenfoldH7659, as the lightH216 of sevenH7651 daysH3117, in the dayH3117 that the LORDH3068 bindeth upH2280 the breachH7667 of his peopleH5971, and healethH7495 the strokeH4273 of their woundH4347.
Behold, the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 comethH935 from farH4801, burningH1197 with his angerH639, and the burdenH4858 thereof is heavyH3514: his lipsH8193 are fullH4390 of indignationH2195, and his tongueH3956 as a devouringH398 fireH784: {burden…: or, grievousness of flame} {heavy: Heb. heaviness}
And his breathH7307, as an overflowingH7857 streamH5158, shall reach to the midstH2673 of the neckH6677, to siftH5130 the nationsH1471 with the sieveH5299 of vanityH7723: and there shall be a bridleH7448 in the jawsH3895 of the peopleH5971, causing them to errH8582.
Ye shall have a songH7892, as in the nightH3915 when a holyH6942 solemnityH2282 is keptH6942; and gladnessH8057 of heartH3824, as when one goethH1980 with a pipeH2485 to comeH935 into the mountainH2022 of the LORDH3068, to the mighty OneH6697 of IsraelH3478. {mighty…: Heb. Rock}
And the LORDH3068 shall cause his gloriousH1935 voiceH6963 to be heardH8085, and shall shewH7200 the lighting downH5183 of his armH2220, with the indignationH2197 of his angerH639, and with the flameH3851 of a devouringH398 fireH784, with scatteringH5311, and tempestH2230, and hailstonesH68+H1259. {his glorious…: Heb. the glory of his voice}
For through the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 shall the AssyrianH804 be beaten downH2865, which smoteH5221 with a rodH7626.
And in every placeH3605 where the groundedH4145 staffH4294 shall passH4569, which the LORDH3068 shall layH5117 upon him, it shall be with tabretsH8596 and harpsH3658: and in battlesH4421 of shakingH8573 will he fightH3898 with it. {in every…: Heb. every passing of the rod founded} {lay…: Heb. cause to rest upon him} {with it: or, against them}
For TophetH8613 is ordainedH6186 of oldH865; yea, for the kingH4428 it is preparedH3559; he hath made it deepH6009 and largeH7337: the pileH4071 thereof is fireH784 and muchH7235 woodH6086; the breathH5397 of the LORDH3068, like a streamH5158 of brimstoneH1614, doth kindleH1197 it. {of old: Heb. from yesterday}
Hast thou not knownH3045? hast thou not heardH8085, that the everlastingH5769 GodH430, the LORDH3068, the CreatorH1254 of the endsH7098 of the earthH776, faintethH3286 not, neither is wearyH3021? there is no searchingH2714 of his understandingH8394.
He givethH5414 powerH3581 to the faintH3287; and to them that have no mightH202 he increasethH7235 strengthH6109.
Even the youthsH5288 shall faintH3286 and be wearyH3021, and the young menH970 shall utterlyH3782 fallH3782:
But they that waitH6960 upon the LORDH3068 shall renewH2498 their strengthH3581; they shall mount upH5927 with wingsH83 as eaglesH5404; they shall runH7323, and not be wearyH3021; and they shall walkH3212, and not faintH3286. {renew: Heb. change}
If thou turn awayH7725 thy footH7272 from the sabbathH7676, from doingH6213 thy pleasureH2656 on my holyH6944 dayH3117; and callH7121 the sabbathH7676 a delightH6027, the holyH6918 of the LORDH3068, honourableH3513; and shalt honourH3513 him, not doingH6213 thine own waysH1870, nor findingH4672 thine own pleasureH2656, nor speakingH1696 thine own wordsH1697:
AndG2532 being notG3361 weakG770 in faithG4102, he consideredG2657 notG3756 his ownG1438 bodyG4983 nowG2235 deadG3499, when he wasG5225 aboutG4225 an hundred years oldG1541, neither yetG2532 the deadnessG3500 of Sarah'sG4564 wombG3388:
YetG1161 I supposedG2233 it necessaryG316 to sendG3992 toG4314 youG5209 EpaphroditusG1891, myG3450 brotherG80, andG2532 companion in labourG4904, andG2532 fellowsoldierG4961, butG1161 yourG5216 messengerG652, andG2532 he that ministeredG3011 to myG3450 wantsG5532.
ForG1894 heG2258 longed afterG1971 youG5209 allG3956, andG2532 was full of heavinessG85, becauseG1360 that ye had heardG191 thatG3754 he had been sickG770.
ForG1063 indeedG2532 he was sickG770 nighG3897 unto deathG2288: butG235 GodG2316 had mercyG1653 on himG846; andG1161 notG3756 on himG846 onlyG3440, butG235 on meG1691 alsoG2532, lestG3363 I should haveG2192 sorrowG3077 uponG1909 sorrowG3077.
I sentG3992 himG846 thereforeG3767 the more carefullyG4708, thatG2443, when ye seeG1492 himG846 againG3825, ye may rejoiceG5463, and that IG2504 may beG5600 the less sorrowfulG253.
ReceiveG4327 himG846 thereforeG3767 inG1722 the LordG2962 withG3326 allG3956 gladnessG5479; andG2532 holdG2192 suchG5108 in reputationG1784: {hold…: or, honor such}
BecauseG3754 forG1223 the workG2041 of ChristG5547 he was nighG1448 untoG3360 deathG2288, not regardingG3851 his lifeG5590, toG2443 supplyG378 yourG5216 lackG5303 of serviceG3009 towardG4314 meG3165.
ComfortH5162 ye, comfortH5162 ye my peopleH5971, saithH559 your GodH430.
SpeakH1696 ye comfortablyH3820 to JerusalemH3389, and cryH7121 unto her, that her warfareH6635 is accomplishedH4390, that her iniquityH5771 is pardonedH7521: for she hath receivedH3947 of the LORD'SH3068 handH3027 doubleH3718 for all her sinsH2403. {comfortably: Heb. to the heart} {warfare: or, appointed time}
The voiceH6963 of him that criethH7121 in the wildernessH4057, PrepareH6437 ye the wayH1870 of the LORDH3068, make straightH3474 in the desertH6160 a highwayH4546 for our GodH430.
Every valleyH1516 shall be exaltedH5375, and every mountainH2022 and hillH1389 shall be made lowH8213: and the crookedH6121 shall be made straightH4334, and the rough placesH7406 plainH1237: {straight: or, a straight place} {plain: or, a plain place}
And the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 shall be revealedH1540, and all fleshH1320 shall seeH7200 it togetherH3162: for the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 it.
The voiceH6963 saidH559, CryH7121. And he saidH559, What shall I cryH7121? All fleshH1320 is grassH2682, and all the goodlinessH2617 thereof is as the flowerH6731 of the fieldH7704:
The grassH2682 witherethH3001, the flowerH6731 fadethH5034: because the spiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 blowethH5380 upon it: surelyH403 the peopleH5971 is grassH2682.
The grassH2682 witherethH3001, the flowerH6731 fadethH5034: but the wordH1697 of our GodH430 shall standH6965 for everH5769.
O ZionH6726, that bringest good tidingsH1319, get thee upH5927 into the highH1364 mountainH2022; O JerusalemH3389, that bringest good tidingsH1319, lift upH7311 thy voiceH6963 with strengthH3581; lift it upH7311, be not afraidH3372; sayH559 unto the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, Behold your GodH430! {O Zion…: or, O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion} {O Jerusalem…: or, O thou that tellest good tidings to Jerusalem}
Behold, the LordH136 GODH3069 will comeH935 with strongH2389 hand, and his armH2220 shall ruleH4910 for him: behold, his rewardH7939 is with him, and his workH6468 beforeH6440 him. {with strong…: or, against the strong} {his work: or, recompence for his work}
He shall feedH7462 his flockH5739 like a shepherdH7462: he shall gatherH6908 the lambsH2922 with his armH2220, and carryH5375 them in his bosomH2436, and shall gently leadH5095 those that are with youngH5763. {that…: or, that give suck}
Who hath measuredH4058 the watersH4325 in the hollow of his handH8168, and meted outH8505 heavenH8064 with the spanH2239, and comprehendedH3557 the dustH6083 of the earthH776 in a measureH7991, and weighedH8254 the mountainsH2022 in scalesH6425, and the hillsH1389 in a balanceH3976? {a measure: Heb. a tierce}
Who hath directedH8505 the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068, or being his counsellorH376+H6098 hath taughtH3045 him? {his…: Heb. man of his counsel}
With whom took he counselH3289, and who instructedH995 him, and taughtH3925 him in the pathH734 of judgmentH4941, and taughtH3925 him knowledgeH1847, and shewedH3045 to him the wayH1870 of understandingH8394? {instructed…: Heb. made him understand} {understanding: Heb. understandings?}
Behold, the nationsH1471 are as a dropH4752 of a bucketH1805, and are countedH2803 as the small dustH7834 of the balanceH3976: behold, he taketh upH5190 the islesH339 as a very little thingH1851.
And LebanonH3844 is notH369 sufficientH1767 to burnH1197, nor the beastsH2416 thereof sufficientH1767 for a burnt offeringH5930.
All nationsH1471 before him are as nothing; and they are countedH2803 to him less than nothingH657, and vanityH8414.
To whom then will ye likenH1819 GodH410? or what likenessH1823 will ye compareH6186 unto him?
The workmanH2796 meltethH5258 a graven imageH6459, and the goldsmithH6884 spreadethH7554 it over with goldH2091, and castethH6884 silverH3701 chainsH7577.
He that is so impoverishedH5533+H5534 that he hath no oblationH8641 choosethH977 a treeH6086 that will not rotH7537; he seekethH1245 unto him a cunningH2450 workmanH2796 to prepareH3559 a graven imageH6459, that shall not be movedH4131. {is so…: Heb. is poor of oblation}
Have ye not knownH3045? have ye not heardH8085? hath it not been toldH5046 you from the beginningH7218? have ye not understoodH995 from the foundationsH4146 of the earthH776?
It is he that sittethH3427 upon the circleH2329 of the earthH776, and the inhabitantsH3427 thereof are as grasshoppersH2284; that stretcheth outH5186 the heavensH8064 as a curtainH1852, and spreadeth them outH4969 as a tentH168 to dwell inH3427: {It is…: or, Him that}
That bringethH5414 the princesH7336 to nothing; he makethH6213 the judgesH8199 of the earthH776 as vanityH8414.
Yea, they shall not be plantedH5193; yea, they shall not be sownH2232: yea, their stockH1503 shall not take rootH8327 in the earthH776: and he shall also blowH5398 upon them, and they shall witherH3001, and the whirlwindH5591 shall takeH5375 them away as stubbleH7179.
To whom then will ye likenH1819 me, or shall I be equalH7737? saithH559 the Holy OneH6918.
Lift upH5375 your eyesH5869 on highH4791, and beholdH7200 who hath createdH1254 these things, that bringeth outH3318 their hostH6635 by numberH4557: he callethH7121 them all by namesH8034 by the greatnessH7230 of his mightH202, for that he is strongH533 in powerH3581; not oneH376 failethH5737.
Why sayestH559 thou, O JacobH3290, and speakestH1696, O IsraelH3478, My wayH1870 is hidH5641 from the LORDH3068, and my judgmentH4941 is passed overH5674 from my GodH430?
Hast thou not knownH3045? hast thou not heardH8085, that the everlastingH5769 GodH430, the LORDH3068, the CreatorH1254 of the endsH7098 of the earthH776, faintethH3286 not, neither is wearyH3021? there is no searchingH2714 of his understandingH8394.
He givethH5414 powerH3581 to the faintH3287; and to them that have no mightH202 he increasethH7235 strengthH6109.
Even the youthsH5288 shall faintH3286 and be wearyH3021, and the young menH970 shall utterlyH3782 fallH3782:
But they that waitH6960 upon the LORDH3068 shall renewH2498 their strengthH3581; they shall mount upH5927 with wingsH83 as eaglesH5404; they shall runH7323, and not be wearyH3021; and they shall walkH3212, and not faintH3286. {renew: Heb. change}
Humble yourselvesG5013 thereforeG3767 underG5259 the mightyG2900 handG5495 of GodG2316, thatG2443 he may exaltG5312 youG5209 inG1722 due timeG2540:
CastingG1977 allG3956 yourG5216 careG3308 uponG1909 himG846; forG3754 heG846 carethG3199 forG4012 youG5216.
And saidH559, If thou wilt diligentlyH8085 hearkenH8085 to the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and wilt doH6213 that which is rightH3477 in his sightH5869, and wilt give earH238 to his commandmentsH4687, and keepH8104 all his statutesH2706, I will putH7760 none of these diseasesH4245 upon thee, which I have broughtH7760 upon the EgyptiansH4714: for I am the LORDH3068 that healethH7495 thee.
ButG235 I keep underG5299 myG3450 bodyG4983, andG2532 bring it into subjectionG1396: lest that by any meansG3381+G4458, when I have preachedG2784 to othersG243, I myselfG846 should beG1096 a castawayG96.
HowG4459 thenG3767 shall they call onG1941 him inG1519 whomG3739 they haveG4100 notG3756 believedG4100? andG1161 howG4459 shall they believe inG4100 him of whomG3739 they haveG191 notG3756 heardG191? andG1161 howG4459 shall they hearG191 withoutG5565 a preacherG2784?
ThisG5124 onlyG3440 wouldG2309 I learnG3129 ofG575 youG5216, Received yeG2983 the SpiritG4151 byG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551, orG2228 byG1537 the hearingG189 of faithG4102?
ButG1161 the ComforterG3875, which is the HolyG40 GhostG4151, whomG3739 the FatherG3962 will sendG3992 inG1722 myG3450 nameG3686, heG1565 shall teachG1321 youG5209 all thingsG3956, andG2532 bringG5279 all thingsG3956 toG5279 yourG5209 remembranceG5279, whatsoeverG3739 I have saidG2036 unto youG5213.
ThenG2532 heG846 saidG2036 untoG4314 themG846, OG5599 foolsG453, andG2532 slowG1021 of heartG2588 to believeG4100+G1909 allG3956 thatG3739 the prophetsG4396 have spokenG2980:
OughtG1163 notG3780 ChristG5547 to have sufferedG3958 these thingsG5023, andG2532 to enterG1525 intoG1519 hisG846 gloryG1391?
AndG2532 beginningG756 atG575 MosesG3475 andG2532+G575 allG3956 the prophetsG4396, he expoundedG1329 unto themG846 inG1722 allG3956 the scripturesG1124 the things concerningG4012 himselfG1438.
SearchG2045 the scripturesG1124; forG3754 inG1722 themG846 yeG5210 thinkG1380 ye haveG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222: andG2532 theyG1565 are theyG1526 which testifyG3140 ofG4012 meG1700.
AllG3956 scriptureG1124 is given by inspiration of GodG2315, andG2532 is profitableG5624 forG4314 doctrineG1319, forG4314 reproofG1650, forG4314 correctionG1882, forG4314 instructionG3809 inG1722 righteousnessG1343:
ThatG2443 the manG444 of GodG2316 may beG5600 perfectG739, throughly furnishedG1822 untoG4314 allG3956 goodG18 worksG2041. {throughly…: or, perfected}
AndG1161 the veryG846 GodG2316 of peaceG1515 sanctifyG37 youG5209 whollyG3651; andG2532 I pray God yourG5216 wholeG3648 spiritG4151 andG2532 soulG5590 andG2532 bodyG4983 be preservedG5083 blamelessG274 untoG1722 the comingG3952 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
ComfortH5162 ye, comfortH5162 ye my peopleH5971, saithH559 your GodH430.
SpeakH1696 ye comfortablyH3820 to JerusalemH3389, and cryH7121 unto her, that her warfareH6635 is accomplishedH4390, that her iniquityH5771 is pardonedH7521: for she hath receivedH3947 of the LORD'SH3068 handH3027 doubleH3718 for all her sinsH2403. {comfortably: Heb. to the heart} {warfare: or, appointed time}
The voiceH6963 of him that criethH7121 in the wildernessH4057, PrepareH6437 ye the wayH1870 of the LORDH3068, make straightH3474 in the desertH6160 a highwayH4546 for our GodH430.
Every valleyH1516 shall be exaltedH5375, and every mountainH2022 and hillH1389 shall be made lowH8213: and the crookedH6121 shall be made straightH4334, and the rough placesH7406 plainH1237: {straight: or, a straight place} {plain: or, a plain place}
And the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 shall be revealedH1540, and all fleshH1320 shall seeH7200 it togetherH3162: for the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 it.
The voiceH6963 saidH559, CryH7121. And he saidH559, What shall I cryH7121? All fleshH1320 is grassH2682, and all the goodlinessH2617 thereof is as the flowerH6731 of the fieldH7704:
The grassH2682 witherethH3001, the flowerH6731 fadethH5034: because the spiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 blowethH5380 upon it: surelyH403 the peopleH5971 is grassH2682.
The grassH2682 witherethH3001, the flowerH6731 fadethH5034: but the wordH1697 of our GodH430 shall standH6965 for everH5769.
O ZionH6726, that bringest good tidingsH1319, get thee upH5927 into the highH1364 mountainH2022; O JerusalemH3389, that bringest good tidingsH1319, lift upH7311 thy voiceH6963 with strengthH3581; lift it upH7311, be not afraidH3372; sayH559 unto the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, Behold your GodH430! {O Zion…: or, O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion} {O Jerusalem…: or, O thou that tellest good tidings to Jerusalem}
Behold, the LordH136 GODH3069 will comeH935 with strongH2389 hand, and his armH2220 shall ruleH4910 for him: behold, his rewardH7939 is with him, and his workH6468 beforeH6440 him. {with strong…: or, against the strong} {his work: or, recompence for his work}
He shall feedH7462 his flockH5739 like a shepherdH7462: he shall gatherH6908 the lambsH2922 with his armH2220, and carryH5375 them in his bosomH2436, and shall gently leadH5095 those that are with youngH5763. {that…: or, that give suck}
Who hath measuredH4058 the watersH4325 in the hollow of his handH8168, and meted outH8505 heavenH8064 with the spanH2239, and comprehendedH3557 the dustH6083 of the earthH776 in a measureH7991, and weighedH8254 the mountainsH2022 in scalesH6425, and the hillsH1389 in a balanceH3976? {a measure: Heb. a tierce}
Who hath directedH8505 the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068, or being his counsellorH376+H6098 hath taughtH3045 him? {his…: Heb. man of his counsel}
With whom took he counselH3289, and who instructedH995 him, and taughtH3925 him in the pathH734 of judgmentH4941, and taughtH3925 him knowledgeH1847, and shewedH3045 to him the wayH1870 of understandingH8394? {instructed…: Heb. made him understand} {understanding: Heb. understandings?}
Behold, the nationsH1471 are as a dropH4752 of a bucketH1805, and are countedH2803 as the small dustH7834 of the balanceH3976: behold, he taketh upH5190 the islesH339 as a very little thingH1851.
And LebanonH3844 is notH369 sufficientH1767 to burnH1197, nor the beastsH2416 thereof sufficientH1767 for a burnt offeringH5930.
All nationsH1471 before him are as nothing; and they are countedH2803 to him less than nothingH657, and vanityH8414.
To whom then will ye likenH1819 GodH410? or what likenessH1823 will ye compareH6186 unto him?
The workmanH2796 meltethH5258 a graven imageH6459, and the goldsmithH6884 spreadethH7554 it over with goldH2091, and castethH6884 silverH3701 chainsH7577.
He that is so impoverishedH5533+H5534 that he hath no oblationH8641 choosethH977 a treeH6086 that will not rotH7537; he seekethH1245 unto him a cunningH2450 workmanH2796 to prepareH3559 a graven imageH6459, that shall not be movedH4131. {is so…: Heb. is poor of oblation}
Have ye not knownH3045? have ye not heardH8085? hath it not been toldH5046 you from the beginningH7218? have ye not understoodH995 from the foundationsH4146 of the earthH776?
It is he that sittethH3427 upon the circleH2329 of the earthH776, and the inhabitantsH3427 thereof are as grasshoppersH2284; that stretcheth outH5186 the heavensH8064 as a curtainH1852, and spreadeth them outH4969 as a tentH168 to dwell inH3427: {It is…: or, Him that}
That bringethH5414 the princesH7336 to nothing; he makethH6213 the judgesH8199 of the earthH776 as vanityH8414.
Yea, they shall not be plantedH5193; yea, they shall not be sownH2232: yea, their stockH1503 shall not take rootH8327 in the earthH776: and he shall also blowH5398 upon them, and they shall witherH3001, and the whirlwindH5591 shall takeH5375 them away as stubbleH7179.
To whom then will ye likenH1819 me, or shall I be equalH7737? saithH559 the Holy OneH6918.
Lift upH5375 your eyesH5869 on highH4791, and beholdH7200 who hath createdH1254 these things, that bringeth outH3318 their hostH6635 by numberH4557: he callethH7121 them all by namesH8034 by the greatnessH7230 of his mightH202, for that he is strongH533 in powerH3581; not oneH376 failethH5737.
Why sayestH559 thou, O JacobH3290, and speakestH1696, O IsraelH3478, My wayH1870 is hidH5641 from the LORDH3068, and my judgmentH4941 is passed overH5674 from my GodH430?
Hast thou not knownH3045? hast thou not heardH8085, that the everlastingH5769 GodH430, the LORDH3068, the CreatorH1254 of the endsH7098 of the earthH776, faintethH3286 not, neither is wearyH3021? there is no searchingH2714 of his understandingH8394.
He givethH5414 powerH3581 to the faintH3287; and to them that have no mightH202 he increasethH7235 strengthH6109.
Even the youthsH5288 shall faintH3286 and be wearyH3021, and the young menH970 shall utterlyH3782 fallH3782:
But they that waitH6960 upon the LORDH3068 shall renewH2498 their strengthH3581; they shall mount upH5927 with wingsH83 as eaglesH5404; they shall runH7323, and not be wearyH3021; and they shall walkH3212, and not faintH3286. {renew: Heb. change}
AndG2532 IG1473 wasG1096 withG4314 youG5209 inG1722 weaknessG769, andG2532 inG1722 fearG5401, andG2532 inG1722 muchG4183 tremblingG5156.
WeG3870 thenG1161, as workers togetherG4903 with him, beseechG3870 you alsoG2532 that yeG5209 receiveG1209 notG3361 the graceG5485 of GodG2316 inG1519 vainG2756.
(ForG1063 he saithG3004, I have heardG1873 theeG4675 in a timeG2540 acceptedG1184, andG2532 inG1722 the dayG2250 of salvationG4991 have I succouredG997 theeG4671: beholdG2400, nowG3568 is the acceptedG2144 timeG2540; beholdG2400, nowG3568 is the dayG2250 of salvationG4991.)
GivingG1325 noG3367 offenceG4349 inG1722 any thingG3367, thatG3363 the ministryG1248 beG3469 notG3363 blamedG3469:

ByG1223 honourG1391 andG2532 dishonourG819, byG1223 evil reportG1426 andG2532 good reportG2162: asG5613 deceiversG4108, andG2532 yet trueG227;
AsG5613 unknownG50, andG2532 yet well knownG1921; asG5613 dyingG599, andG2532, beholdG2400, we liveG2198; asG5613 chastenedG3811, andG2532 notG3361 killedG2289;

O ye CorinthiansG2881, ourG2257 mouthG4750 is openG455 untoG4314 youG5209, ourG2257 heartG2588 is enlargedG4115.
Ye areG4729 notG3756 straitenedG4729 inG1722 usG2254, butG1161 ye are straitenedG4729 inG1722 your ownG5216 bowelsG4698.
NowG1161 for a recompenceG489 in the sameG846, (I speakG3004 asG5613 unto my childrenG5043,) beG4115 yeG5210 alsoG2532 enlargedG4115.
Be yeG1096 notG3361 unequally yoked togetherG2086 with unbelieversG571: forG1063 whatG5101 fellowshipG3352 hath righteousnessG1343 withG2532 unrighteousnessG458? andG1161 whatG5101 communionG2842 hath lightG5457 withG4314 darknessG4655?
AndG1161 whatG5101 concordG4857 hath ChristG5547 withG4314 BelialG955? orG2228 whatG5101 partG3310 hath he that believethG4103 withG3326 an infidelG571?
AndG1161 whatG5101 agreementG4783 hath the templeG3485 of GodG2316 withG3326 idolsG1497? forG1063 yeG5210 areG2075 the templeG3485 of the livingG2198 GodG2316; asG2531 GodG2316 hath saidG2036+G3754, I will dwellG1774 inG1722 themG846, andG2532 walk inG1704 them; andG2532 I will beG2071 theirG846 GodG2316, andG2532 theyG846 shall beG2071 myG3427 peopleG2992.
WhereforeG1352 come outG1831 fromG1537 amongG3319 themG846, andG2532 be ye separateG873, saithG3004 the LordG2962, andG2532 touchG680 notG3361 the uncleanG169 thing; andG2504 I will receiveG1523 youG5209,
AndG2532 will beG2071+G1519 a FatherG3962 unto youG5213, andG2532 yeG5210 shall beG2071 myG3427 sonsG5207+G1519 andG2532 daughtersG2364, saithG3004 the LordG2962 AlmightyG3841.
ThereforeG1352 I take pleasureG2106 inG1722 infirmitiesG769, inG1722 reproachesG5196, inG1722 necessitiesG318, inG1722 persecutionsG1375, inG1722 distressesG4730 forG5228 Christ'sG5547 sakeG5228: forG1063 whenG3752 I am weakG770, thenG5119 amG1510 I strongG1415.

AndG1161 notG3756 onlyG3440 they, butG235 ourselvesG846 alsoG2532, which haveG2192 the firstfruitsG536 of the SpiritG4151, evenG2532 weG2249 ourselvesG846 groanG4727 withinG1722 ourselvesG1438, waitingG553 for the adoptionG5206, to wit, the redemptionG629 of ourG2257 bodyG4983.
AndG2532 he saidG2046 unto meG3427, MyG3450 graceG5485 is sufficientG714 for theeG4671: forG1063 myG3450 strengthG1411 is made perfectG5048 inG1722 weaknessG769. Most gladlyG2236 thereforeG3767 will IG2744 ratherG3123 gloryG2744 inG1722 myG3450 infirmitiesG769, thatG2443 the powerG1411 of ChristG5547 may restG1981 uponG1909 meG1691.
