ListenH8085, O islesH339, unto me; and hearkenH7181, ye peopleH3816, from farH7350; The LORDH3068 hath calledH7121 me from the wombH990; from the bowelsH4578 of my motherH517 hath he made mentionH2142 of my nameH8034.
And he hath madeH7760 my mouthH6310 like a sharpH2299 swordH2719; in the shadowH6738 of his handH3027 hath he hidH2244 me, and madeH7760 me a polishedH1305 shaftH2671; in his quiverH827 hath he hidH5641 me;
And saidH559 unto me, Thou art my servantH5650, O IsraelH3478, in whom I will be glorifiedH6286.
Then I saidH559, I have labouredH3021 in vainH7385, I have spentH3615 my strengthH3581 for noughtH8414, and in vainH1892: yet surelyH403 my judgmentH4941 is with the LORDH3068, and my workH6468 with my GodH430. {my work: or, my reward}
And now, saithH559 the LORDH3068 that formedH3335 me from the wombH990 to be his servantH5650, to bringH7725 JacobH3290 againH7725 to him, Though IsraelH3478 be not gatheredH622, yet shall I be gloriousH3513 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068, and my GodH430 shall be my strengthH5797. {Though…: or, That Israel may be gathered to him, and I may, etc}
And he saidH559, It is a light thingH7043 that thou shouldest be my servantH5650 to raise upH6965 the tribesH7626 of JacobH3290, and to restoreH7725 the preservedH5341+H5336 of IsraelH3478: I will also giveH5414 thee for a lightH216 to the GentilesH1471, that thou mayest be my salvationH3444 unto the endH7097 of the earthH776. {It is…: or, Art thou lighter than that thou shouldest, etc} {preserved: or, desolations}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the RedeemerH1350 of IsraelH3478, and his Holy OneH6918, to him whom manH5315 despisethH960, to him whom the nationH1471 abhorrethH8581, to a servantH5650 of rulersH4910, KingsH4428 shall seeH7200 and ariseH6965, princesH8269 also shall worshipH7812, because of the LORDH3068 that is faithfulH539, and the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, and he shall chooseH977 thee. {whom man…: or, that is despised in soul}
ListenH8085, O islesH339, unto me; and hearkenH7181, ye peopleH3816, from farH7350; The LORDH3068 hath calledH7121 me from the wombH990; from the bowelsH4578 of my motherH517 hath he made mentionH2142 of my nameH8034.
And he hath madeH7760 my mouthH6310 like a sharpH2299 swordH2719; in the shadowH6738 of his handH3027 hath he hidH2244 me, and madeH7760 me a polishedH1305 shaftH2671; in his quiverH827 hath he hidH5641 me;
And saidH559 unto me, Thou art my servantH5650, O IsraelH3478, in whom I will be glorifiedH6286.
Then I saidH559, I have labouredH3021 in vainH7385, I have spentH3615 my strengthH3581 for noughtH8414, and in vainH1892: yet surelyH403 my judgmentH4941 is with the LORDH3068, and my workH6468 with my GodH430. {my work: or, my reward}
And now, saithH559 the LORDH3068 that formedH3335 me from the wombH990 to be his servantH5650, to bringH7725 JacobH3290 againH7725 to him, Though IsraelH3478 be not gatheredH622, yet shall I be gloriousH3513 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068, and my GodH430 shall be my strengthH5797. {Though…: or, That Israel may be gathered to him, and I may, etc}
And he saidH559, It is a light thingH7043 that thou shouldest be my servantH5650 to raise upH6965 the tribesH7626 of JacobH3290, and to restoreH7725 the preservedH5341+H5336 of IsraelH3478: I will also giveH5414 thee for a lightH216 to the GentilesH1471, that thou mayest be my salvationH3444 unto the endH7097 of the earthH776. {It is…: or, Art thou lighter than that thou shouldest, etc} {preserved: or, desolations}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the RedeemerH1350 of IsraelH3478, and his Holy OneH6918, to him whom manH5315 despisethH960, to him whom the nationH1471 abhorrethH8581, to a servantH5650 of rulersH4910, KingsH4428 shall seeH7200 and ariseH6965, princesH8269 also shall worshipH7812, because of the LORDH3068 that is faithfulH539, and the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, and he shall chooseH977 thee. {whom man…: or, that is despised in soul}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, In an acceptableH7522 timeH6256 have I heardH6030 thee, and in a dayH3117 of salvationH3444 have I helpedH5826 thee: and I will preserveH5341 thee, and giveH5414 thee for a covenantH1285 of the peopleH5971, to establishH6965 the earthH776, to cause to inheritH5157 the desolateH8074 heritagesH5159; {establish: or, raise up}
That thou mayest sayH559 to the prisonersH631, Go forthH3318; to them that are in darknessH2822, ShewH1540 yourselves. They shall feedH7462 in the waysH1870, and their pasturesH4830 shall be in all high placesH8205.
They shall not hungerH7456 nor thirstH6770; neither shall the heatH8273 nor sunH8121 smiteH5221 them: for he that hath mercyH7355 on them shall leadH5090 them, even by the springsH4002 of waterH4325 shall he guideH5095 them.
And I will makeH7760 all my mountainsH2022 a wayH1870, and my highwaysH4546 shall be exaltedH7311.
Behold, these shall comeH935 from farH7350: and, lo, these from the northH6828 and from the westH3220; and these from the landH776 of SinimH5515.
SingH7442, O heavensH8064; and be joyfulH1523, O earthH776; and break forthH6476 into singingH7440, O mountainsH2022: for the LORDH3068 hath comfortedH5162 his peopleH5971, and will have mercyH7355 upon his afflictedH6041.
But ZionH6726 saidH559, The LORDH3068 hath forsakenH5800 me, and my LordH136 hath forgottenH7911 me.
Can a womanH802 forgetH7911 her sucking childH5764, that she should not have compassionH7355 on the sonH1121 of her wombH990? yea, they may forgetH7911, yet will I not forgetH7911 thee. {that…: Heb. from having compassion}
Behold, I have gravenH2710 thee upon the palms of my handsH3709; thy wallsH2346 are continuallyH8548 before me.
Thy childrenH1121 shall make hasteH4116; thy destroyersH2040 and they that made thee wasteH2717 shall go forthH3318 of thee.
Lift upH5375 thine eyesH5869 round aboutH5439, and beholdH7200: all these gather themselves togetherH6908, and comeH935 to thee. As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, thou shalt surely clotheH3847 thee with them all, as with an ornamentH5716, and bindH7194 them on thee, as a brideH3618 doeth.
For thy wasteH2723 and thy desolate placesH8074, and the landH776 of thy destructionH2035, shall even now be too narrowH3334 by reason of the inhabitantsH3427, and they that swallowed thee upH1104 shall be far awayH7368.
The childrenH1121 which thou shalt have, after thou hast lostH7923 the other, shall sayH559 again in thine earsH241, The placeH4725 is too straitH6862 for me: giveH5066 placeH4725 to me that I may dwellH3427.
Then shalt thou sayH559 in thine heartH3824, Who hath begottenH3205 me these, seeing I have lost my childrenH7921, and am desolateH1565, a captiveH1540, and removing to and froH5493? and who hath brought upH1431 these? Behold, I was leftH7604 alone; these, whereH375 had they been?
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069, Behold, I will lift upH5375 mine handH3027 to the GentilesH1471, and set upH7311 my standardH5251 to the peopleH5971: and they shall bringH935 thy sonsH1121 in their armsH2684, and thy daughtersH1323 shall be carriedH5375 upon their shouldersH3802. {arms: Heb. bosom}
And kingsH4428 shall be thy nursing fathersH539, and their queensH8282 thy nursing mothersH3243: they shall bow downH7812 to thee with their faceH639 toward the earthH776, and lick upH3897 the dustH6083 of thy feetH7272; and thou shalt knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068: for they shall not be ashamedH954 that waitH6960 for me. {nursing fathers: Heb. nourishers} {queens: Heb. princesses}
Shall the preyH4455 be takenH3947 from the mightyH1368, or the lawfulH6662 captiveH7628 deliveredH4422? {lawful…: Heb. captivity of the just}
But thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Even the captivesH7628 of the mightyH1368 shall be taken awayH3947, and the preyH4455 of the terribleH6184 shall be deliveredH4422: for I will contendH7378 with him that contendethH3401 with thee, and I will saveH3467 thy childrenH1121. {captives: Heb. captivity}
And I will feedH398 them that oppressH3238 thee with their own fleshH1320; and they shall be drunkenH7937 with their own bloodH1818, as with sweet wineH6071: and all fleshH1320 shall knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 am thy SaviourH3467 and thy RedeemerH1350, the mighty OneH46 of JacobH3290. {sweet: or, new}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Where is the billH5612 of your mother'sH517 divorcementH3748, whom I have put awayH7971? or which of my creditorsH5383 is it to whom I have soldH4376 you? Behold, for your iniquitiesH5771 have ye soldH4376 yourselves, and for your transgressionsH6588 is your motherH517 put awayH7971.
Wherefore, when I cameH935, was there no manH376? when I calledH7121, was there none to answerH6030? Is my handH3027 shortenedH7114 at allH7114, that it cannot redeemH6304? or have I no powerH3581 to deliverH5337? behold, at my rebukeH1606 I dry upH2717 the seaH3220, I makeH7760 the riversH5104 a wildernessH4057: their fishH1710 stinkethH887, because there is no waterH4325, and diethH4191 for thirstH6772.
I clotheH3847 the heavensH8064 with blacknessH6940, and I makeH7760 sackclothH8242 their coveringH3682.
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.
For the LordH136 GODH3069 will helpH5826 me; therefore shall I not be confoundedH3637: therefore have I setH7760 my faceH6440 like a flintH2496, and I knowH3045 that I shall not be ashamedH954.
He is nearH7138 that justifiethH6663 me; who will contendH7378 with me? let us standH5975 togetherH3162: who is mine adversaryH1167+H4941? let him come nearH5066 to me. {mine…: Heb. the master of my cause?}
Behold, the LordH136 GODH3069 will helpH5826 me; who is he that shall condemnH7561 me? lo, they all shall wax oldH1086 as a garmentH899; the mothH6211 shall eat them upH398.
Who is among you that fearethH3373 the LORDH3068, that obeyethH8085 the voiceH6963 of his servantH5650, that walkethH1980 in darknessH2825, and hath no lightH5051? let him trustH982 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, and stayH8172 upon his GodH430.
Behold, all ye that kindleH6919 a fireH784, that compass yourselves aboutH247 with sparksH2131: walkH3212 in the lightH217 of your fireH784, and in the sparksH2131 that ye have kindledH1197. This shall ye have of mine handH3027; ye shall lie downH7901 in sorrowH4620.
HearkenH8085 to me, ye that follow afterH7291 righteousnessH6664, ye that seekH1245 the LORDH3068: lookH5027 unto the rockH6697 whence ye are hewnH2672, and to the holeH4718 of the pitH953 whence ye are diggedH5365.
LookH5027 unto AbrahamH85 your fatherH1, and unto SarahH8283 that bareH2342 you: for I calledH7121 him aloneH259, and blessedH1288 him, and increasedH7235 him.
For the LORDH3068 shall comfortH5162 ZionH6726: he will comfortH5162 all her waste placesH2723; and he will makeH7760 her wildernessH4057 like EdenH5731, and her desertH6160 like the gardenH1588 of the LORDH3068; joyH8342 and gladnessH8057 shall be foundH4672 therein, thanksgivingH8426, and the voiceH6963 of melodyH2172.
HearkenH7181 unto me, my peopleH5971; and give earH238 unto me, O my nationH3816: for a lawH8451 shall proceedH3318 from me, and I will make my judgmentH4941 to restH7280 for a lightH216 of the peopleH5971.
My righteousnessH6664 is nearH7138; my salvationH3468 is gone forthH3318, and mine armsH2220 shall judgeH8199 the peopleH5971; the islesH339 shall waitH6960 upon me, and on mine armH2220 shall they trustH3176.
Lift upH5375 your eyesH5869 to the heavensH8064, and lookH5027 upon the earthH776 beneath: for the heavensH8064 shall vanish awayH4414 like smokeH6227, and the earthH776 shall wax oldH1086 like a garmentH899, and they that dwellH3427 therein shall dieH4191 in likeH3644 mannerH3654: but my salvationH3444 shall be for everH5769, and my righteousnessH6666 shall not be abolishedH2865.
HearkenH8085 unto me, ye that knowH3045 righteousnessH6664, the peopleH5971 in whose heartH3820 is my lawH8451; fearH3372 ye not the reproachH2781 of menH582, neither be ye afraidH2865 of their revilingsH1421.
For the mothH6211 shall eat them upH398 like a garmentH899, and the wormH5580 shall eatH398 them like woolH6785: but my righteousnessH6666 shall be for everH5769, and my salvationH3444 from generationH1755 to generationH1755.
AwakeH5782, awakeH5782, put onH3847 strengthH5797, O armH2220 of the LORDH3068; awakeH5782, as in the ancientH6924 daysH3117, in the generationsH1755 of oldH5769. Art thou not it that hath cutH2672 RahabH7294, and woundedH2490 the dragonH8577?
Art thou not it which hath driedH2717 the seaH3220, the watersH4325 of the greatH7227 deepH8415; that hath madeH7760 the depthsH4615 of the seaH3220 a wayH1870 for the ransomedH1350 to pass overH5674?
Therefore the redeemedH6299 of the LORDH3068 shall returnH7725, and comeH935 with singingH7440 unto ZionH6726; and everlastingH5769 joyH8057 shall be upon their headH7218: they shall obtainH5381 gladnessH8342 and joyH8057; and sorrowH3015 and mourningH585 shall flee awayH5127.
I, even I, am he that comfortethH5162 you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraidH3372 of a manH582 that shall dieH4191, and of the sonH1121 of manH120 which shall be madeH5414 as grassH2682;
And forgettestH7911 the LORDH3068 thy makerH6213, that hath stretched forthH5186 the heavensH8064, and laid the foundationsH3245 of the earthH776; and hast fearedH6342 continuallyH8548 every dayH3117 becauseH6440 of the furyH2534 of the oppressorH6693, as ifH834 he were readyH3559 to destroyH7843? and where is the furyH2534 of the oppressorH6693? {were…: or, made himself ready}
The captive exileH6808 hastenethH4116 that he may be loosedH6605, and that he should not dieH4191 in the pitH7845, nor that his breadH3899 should failH2637.
But I am the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, that dividedH7280 the seaH3220, whose wavesH1530 roaredH1993: The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is his nameH8034.
And I have putH7760 my wordsH1697 in thy mouthH6310, and I have coveredH3680 thee in the shadowH6738 of mine handH3027, that I may plantH5193 the heavensH8064, and lay the foundationsH3245 of the earthH776, and sayH559 unto ZionH6726, Thou art my peopleH5971.
AwakeH5782, awakeH5782, stand upH6965, O JerusalemH3389, which hast drunkH8354 at the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 the cupH3563 of his furyH2534; thou hast drunkenH8354 the dregsH6907 of the cupH3563 of tremblingH8653, and wrung them outH4680.
There is none to guideH5095 her among all the sonsH1121 whom she hath brought forthH3205; neither is there any that takethH2388 her by the handH3027 of all the sonsH1121 that she hath brought upH1431.
These twoH8147 things are comeH7122 unto thee; who shall be sorryH5110 for thee? desolationH7701, and destructionH7667, and the famineH7458, and the swordH2719: by whom shall I comfortH5162 thee? {are…: Heb. happened} {destruction: Heb. breaking}
Thy sonsH1121 have faintedH5968, they lieH7901 at the headH7218 of all the streetsH2351, as a wild bullH8377 in a netH4364: they are fullH4392 of the furyH2534 of the LORDH3068, the rebukeH1606 of thy GodH430.
Therefore hearH8085 now this, thou afflictedH6041, and drunkenH7937, but not with wineH3196:
Thus saithH559 thy LordH113 the LORDH3068, and thy GodH430 that pleadethH7378 the cause of his peopleH5971, Behold, I have taken outH3947 of thine handH3027 the cupH3563 of tremblingH8653, even the dregsH6907 of the cupH3563 of my furyH2534; thou shalt no moreH3254 drink it againH8354:
But I will putH7760 it into the handH3027 of them that afflictH3013 thee; which have saidH559 to thy soulH5315, Bow downH7812, that we may go overH5674: and thou hast laidH7760 thy bodyH1460 as the groundH776, and as the streetH2351, to them that went overH5674.
AwakeH5782, awakeH5782; put onH3847 thy strengthH5797, O ZionH6726; put onH3847 thy beautifulH8597 garmentsH899, O JerusalemH3389, the holyH6944 cityH5892: for henceforth there shall no moreH3254 comeH935 into thee the uncircumcisedH6189 and the uncleanH2931.
ShakeH5287 thyself from the dustH6083; ariseH6965, and sit downH3427, O JerusalemH3389: looseH6605 thyself from the bandsH4147 of thy neckH6677, O captiveH7628 daughterH1323 of ZionH6726.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Ye have soldH4376 yourselves for noughtH2600; and ye shall be redeemedH1350 without moneyH3701.
For thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069, My peopleH5971 went downH3381 aforetimeH7223 into EgyptH4714 to sojournH1481 there; and the AssyrianH804 oppressedH6231 them without causeH657.
Now therefore, what have I here, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that my peopleH5971 is taken awayH3947 for noughtH2600? they that ruleH4910 over them make them to howlH3213, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; and my nameH8034 continuallyH8548 every dayH3117 is blasphemedH5006.
Therefore my peopleH5971 shall knowH3045 my nameH8034: therefore they shall know in that dayH3117 that I am he that doth speakH1696: behold, it is I.
How beautifulH4998 upon the mountainsH2022 are the feetH7272 of him that bringeth good tidingsH1319, that publishethH8085 peaceH7965; that bringeth good tidingsH1319 of goodH2896, that publishethH8085 salvationH3444; that saithH559 unto ZionH6726, Thy GodH430 reignethH4427!
Thy watchmenH6822 shall lift upH5375 the voiceH6963; with the voiceH6963 togetherH3162 shall they singH7442: for they shall seeH7200 eyeH5869 to eyeH5869, when the LORDH3068 shall bring againH7725 ZionH6726.
Break forth into joyH6476, singH7442 togetherH3162, ye waste placesH2723 of JerusalemH3389: for the LORDH3068 hath comfortedH5162 his peopleH5971, he hath redeemedH1350 JerusalemH3389.
The LORDH3068 hath made bareH2834 his holyH6944 armH2220 in the eyesH5869 of all the nationsH1471; and all the endsH657 of the earthH776 shall seeH7200 the salvationH3444 of our GodH430.
DepartH5493 ye, departH5493 ye, go ye outH3318 from thence, touchH5060 no uncleanH2931 thing; go ye outH3318 of the midstH8432 of her; be ye cleanH1305, that bearH5375 the vesselsH3627 of the LORDH3068.
For ye shall not go outH3318 with hasteH2649, nor goH3212 by flightH4499: for the LORDH3068 will goH1980 beforeH6440 you; and the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 will be your rerewardH622. {be…: Heb. gather you up}
SingH7442, O barrenH6135, thou that didst not bearH3205; break forthH6476 into singingH7440, and cry aloudH6670, thou that didst not travail with childH2342: for moreH7227 are the childrenH1121 of the desolateH8074 than the childrenH1121 of the married wifeH1166, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
EnlargeH7337 the placeH4725 of thy tentH168, and let them stretch forthH5186 the curtainsH3407 of thine habitationsH4908: spareH2820 not, lengthenH748 thy cordsH4340, and strengthenH2388 thy stakesH3489;
For thou shalt break forthH6555 on the right handH3225 and on the leftH8040; and thy seedH2233 shall inheritH3423 the GentilesH1471, and make the desolateH8074 citiesH5892 to be inhabitedH3427.
FearH3372 not; for thou shalt not be ashamedH954: neither be thou confoundedH3637; for thou shalt not be put to shameH2659: for thou shalt forgetH7911 the shameH1322 of thy youthH5934, and shalt not rememberH2142 the reproachH2781 of thy widowhoodH491 any more.
For thy MakerH6213 is thine husbandH1166; the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is his nameH8034; and thy RedeemerH1350 the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478; The GodH430 of the whole earthH776 shall he be calledH7121.
For the LORDH3068 hath calledH7121 thee as a womanH802 forsakenH5800 and grievedH6087 in spiritH7307, and a wifeH802 of youthH5271, when thou wast refusedH3988, saithH559 thy GodH430.
For a smallH6996 momentH7281 have I forsakenH5800 thee; but with greatH1419 merciesH7356 will I gatherH6908 thee.
In a littleH8241 wrathH7110 I hidH5641 my faceH6440 from thee for a momentH7281; but with everlastingH5769 kindnessH2617 will I have mercyH7355 on thee, saithH559 the LORDH3068 thy RedeemerH1350.
For this is as the watersH4325 of NoahH5146 unto me: for as I have swornH7650 that the watersH4325 of NoahH5146 should no more go overH5674 the earthH776; so have I swornH7650 that I would not be wrothH7107 with thee, nor rebukeH1605 thee.
For the mountainsH2022 shall departH4185, and the hillsH1389 be removedH4131; but my kindnessH2617 shall not departH4185 from thee, neither shall the covenantH1285 of my peaceH7965 be removedH4131, saithH559 the LORDH3068 that hath mercyH7355 on thee.
O thou afflictedH6041, tossed with tempestH5590, and not comfortedH5162, behold, I will layH7257 thy stonesH68 with fair coloursH6320, and lay thy foundationsH3245 with sapphiresH5601.
And I will makeH7760 thy windowsH8121 of agatesH3539, and thy gatesH8179 of carbunclesH68+H688, and all thy bordersH1366 of pleasantH2656 stonesH68.
And all thy childrenH1121 shall be taughtH3928 of the LORDH3068; and greatH7227 shall be the peaceH7965 of thy childrenH1121.
In righteousnessH6666 shalt thou be establishedH3559: thou shalt be farH7368 from oppressionH6233; for thou shalt not fearH3372: and from terrorH4288; for it shall not come nearH7126 thee.
Behold, they shall surelyH1481 gather togetherH1481, but notH657 by me: whosoeverH4310 shall gather togetherH1481 against thee shall fallH5307 for thy sake.
Behold, I have createdH1254 the smithH2796 that blowethH5301 the coalsH6352 in the fireH784, and that bringeth forthH3318 an instrumentH3627 for his workH4639; and I have createdH1254 the wasterH7843 to destroyH2254.
No weaponH3627 that is formedH3335 against thee shall prosperH6743; and every tongueH3956 that shall riseH6965 against thee in judgmentH4941 thou shalt condemnH7561. This is the heritageH5159 of the servantsH5650 of the LORDH3068, and their righteousnessH6666 is of me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
HoH1945, every one that thirstethH6771, comeH3212 ye to the watersH4325, and he that hath no moneyH3701; comeH3212 ye, buyH7666, and eatH398; yea, comeH3212, buyH7666 wineH3196 and milkH2461 without moneyH3701 and without priceH4242.
Wherefore do ye spendH8254 moneyH3701 for that which is not breadH3899? and your labourH3018 for that which satisfiethH7654 notH3808? hearkenH8085 diligentlyH8085 unto me, and eatH398 ye that which is goodH2896, and let your soulH5315 delightH6026 itself in fatnessH1880. {spend: Heb. weigh}
InclineH5186 your earH241, and comeH3212 unto me: hearH8085, and your soulH5315 shall liveH2421; and I will makeH3772 an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285 with you, even the sureH539 merciesH2617 of DavidH1732.
Behold, I have givenH5414 him for a witnessH5707 to the peopleH3816, a leaderH5057 and commanderH6680 to the peopleH3816.
Behold, thou shalt callH7121 a nationH1471 that thou knowestH3045 not, and nationsH1471 that knewH3045 not thee shall runH7323 unto thee because of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and for the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478; for he hath glorifiedH6286 thee.
SeekH1875 ye the LORDH3068 while he may be foundH4672, callH7121 ye upon him while he is nearH7138:
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}
For my thoughtsH4284 are not your thoughtsH4284, neither are your waysH1870 my waysH1870, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
For as the heavensH8064 are higherH1361 than the earthH776, so are my waysH1870 higherH1361 than your waysH1870, and my thoughtsH4284 than your thoughtsH4284.
For as the rainH1653 cometh downH3381, and the snowH7950 from heavenH8064, and returnethH7725 not thither, but waterethH7301 the earthH776, and maketh it bring forthH3205 and budH6779, that it may giveH5414 seedH2233 to the sowerH2232, and breadH3899 to the eaterH398:
So shall my wordH1697 be that goeth forthH3318 out of my mouthH6310: it shall not returnH7725 unto me voidH7387, but it shall accomplishH6213 that which I pleaseH2654, and it shall prosperH6743 in the thing whereto I sentH7971 it.
For ye shall go outH3318 with joyH8057, and be led forthH2986 with peaceH7965: the mountainsH2022 and the hillsH1389 shall break forthH6476 beforeH6440 you into singingH7440, and all the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704 shall clapH4222 their handsH3709.
Instead of the thornH5285 shall come upH5927 the fir treeH1265, and instead of the brierH5636 shall come upH5927 the myrtle treeH1918: and it shall be to the LORDH3068 for a nameH8034, for an everlastingH5769 signH226 that shall not be cut offH3772.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, KeepH8104 ye judgmentH4941, and doH6213 justiceH6666: for my salvationH3444 is nearH7138 to comeH935, and my righteousnessH6666 to be revealedH1540. {judgment: or, equity}
BlessedH835 is the manH582 that doethH6213 this, and the sonH1121 of manH120 that layeth holdH2388 on it; that keepethH8104 the sabbathH7676 from pollutingH2490 it, and keepethH8104 his handH3027 from doingH6213 any evilH7451.
Neither let the sonH1121 of the strangerH5236, that hath joinedH3867 himself to the LORDH3068, speakH559, sayingH559, The LORDH3068 hath utterlyH914 separatedH914 me from his peopleH5971: neither let the eunuchH5631 sayH559, Behold, I am a dryH3002 treeH6086.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 unto the eunuchsH5631 that keepH8104 my sabbathsH7676, and chooseH977 the things that pleaseH2654 me, and take holdH2388 of my covenantH1285;
Even unto them will I giveH5414 in mine houseH1004 and within my wallsH2346 a placeH3027 and a nameH8034 betterH2896 than of sonsH1121 and of daughtersH1323: I will giveH5414 them an everlastingH5769 nameH8034, that shall not be cut offH3772.
Also the sonsH1121 of the strangerH5236, that joinH3867 themselves to the LORDH3068, to serveH8334 him, and to loveH157 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, to be his servantsH5650, every one that keepethH8104 the sabbathH7676 from pollutingH2490 it, and taketh holdH2388 of my covenantH1285;
Even them will I bringH935 to my holyH6944 mountainH2022, and make them joyfulH8055 in my houseH1004 of prayerH8605: their burnt offeringsH5930 and their sacrificesH2077 shall be acceptedH7522 upon mine altarH4196; for mine houseH1004 shall be calledH7121 an houseH1004 of prayerH8605 for all peopleH5971.
The LordH136 GODH3069 which gatherethH6908 the outcastsH1760 of IsraelH3478 saithH5002, Yet will I gatherH6908 others to him, beside those that are gatheredH6908 unto him. {beside…: Heb. to his gathered}
ListenH8085, O islesH339, unto me; and hearkenH7181, ye peopleH3816, from farH7350; The LORDH3068 hath calledH7121 me from the wombH990; from the bowelsH4578 of my motherH517 hath he made mentionH2142 of my nameH8034.
And he hath madeH7760 my mouthH6310 like a sharpH2299 swordH2719; in the shadowH6738 of his handH3027 hath he hidH2244 me, and madeH7760 me a polishedH1305 shaftH2671; in his quiverH827 hath he hidH5641 me;
And saidH559 unto me, Thou art my servantH5650, O IsraelH3478, in whom I will be glorifiedH6286.
Then I saidH559, I have labouredH3021 in vainH7385, I have spentH3615 my strengthH3581 for noughtH8414, and in vainH1892: yet surelyH403 my judgmentH4941 is with the LORDH3068, and my workH6468 with my GodH430. {my work: or, my reward}
And now, saithH559 the LORDH3068 that formedH3335 me from the wombH990 to be his servantH5650, to bringH7725 JacobH3290 againH7725 to him, Though IsraelH3478 be not gatheredH622, yet shall I be gloriousH3513 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068, and my GodH430 shall be my strengthH5797. {Though…: or, That Israel may be gathered to him, and I may, etc}
And he saidH559, It is a light thingH7043 that thou shouldest be my servantH5650 to raise upH6965 the tribesH7626 of JacobH3290, and to restoreH7725 the preservedH5341+H5336 of IsraelH3478: I will also giveH5414 thee for a lightH216 to the GentilesH1471, that thou mayest be my salvationH3444 unto the endH7097 of the earthH776. {It is…: or, Art thou lighter than that thou shouldest, etc} {preserved: or, desolations}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the RedeemerH1350 of IsraelH3478, and his Holy OneH6918, to him whom manH5315 despisethH960, to him whom the nationH1471 abhorrethH8581, to a servantH5650 of rulersH4910, KingsH4428 shall seeH7200 and ariseH6965, princesH8269 also shall worshipH7812, because of the LORDH3068 that is faithfulH539, and the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, and he shall chooseH977 thee. {whom man…: or, that is despised in soul}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, In an acceptableH7522 timeH6256 have I heardH6030 thee, and in a dayH3117 of salvationH3444 have I helpedH5826 thee: and I will preserveH5341 thee, and giveH5414 thee for a covenantH1285 of the peopleH5971, to establishH6965 the earthH776, to cause to inheritH5157 the desolateH8074 heritagesH5159; {establish: or, raise up}
That thou mayest sayH559 to the prisonersH631, Go forthH3318; to them that are in darknessH2822, ShewH1540 yourselves. They shall feedH7462 in the waysH1870, and their pasturesH4830 shall be in all high placesH8205.
They shall not hungerH7456 nor thirstH6770; neither shall the heatH8273 nor sunH8121 smiteH5221 them: for he that hath mercyH7355 on them shall leadH5090 them, even by the springsH4002 of waterH4325 shall he guideH5095 them.
And I will makeH7760 all my mountainsH2022 a wayH1870, and my highwaysH4546 shall be exaltedH7311.
Behold, these shall comeH935 from farH7350: and, lo, these from the northH6828 and from the westH3220; and these from the landH776 of SinimH5515.
SingH7442, O heavensH8064; and be joyfulH1523, O earthH776; and break forthH6476 into singingH7440, O mountainsH2022: for the LORDH3068 hath comfortedH5162 his peopleH5971, and will have mercyH7355 upon his afflictedH6041.
But ZionH6726 saidH559, The LORDH3068 hath forsakenH5800 me, and my LordH136 hath forgottenH7911 me.
Can a womanH802 forgetH7911 her sucking childH5764, that she should not have compassionH7355 on the sonH1121 of her wombH990? yea, they may forgetH7911, yet will I not forgetH7911 thee. {that…: Heb. from having compassion}
Behold, I have gravenH2710 thee upon the palms of my handsH3709; thy wallsH2346 are continuallyH8548 before me.
Thy childrenH1121 shall make hasteH4116; thy destroyersH2040 and they that made thee wasteH2717 shall go forthH3318 of thee.
Lift upH5375 thine eyesH5869 round aboutH5439, and beholdH7200: all these gather themselves togetherH6908, and comeH935 to thee. As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, thou shalt surely clotheH3847 thee with them all, as with an ornamentH5716, and bindH7194 them on thee, as a brideH3618 doeth.
For thy wasteH2723 and thy desolate placesH8074, and the landH776 of thy destructionH2035, shall even now be too narrowH3334 by reason of the inhabitantsH3427, and they that swallowed thee upH1104 shall be far awayH7368.
The childrenH1121 which thou shalt have, after thou hast lostH7923 the other, shall sayH559 again in thine earsH241, The placeH4725 is too straitH6862 for me: giveH5066 placeH4725 to me that I may dwellH3427.
Then shalt thou sayH559 in thine heartH3824, Who hath begottenH3205 me these, seeing I have lost my childrenH7921, and am desolateH1565, a captiveH1540, and removing to and froH5493? and who hath brought upH1431 these? Behold, I was leftH7604 alone; these, whereH375 had they been?
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069, Behold, I will lift upH5375 mine handH3027 to the GentilesH1471, and set upH7311 my standardH5251 to the peopleH5971: and they shall bringH935 thy sonsH1121 in their armsH2684, and thy daughtersH1323 shall be carriedH5375 upon their shouldersH3802. {arms: Heb. bosom}
And kingsH4428 shall be thy nursing fathersH539, and their queensH8282 thy nursing mothersH3243: they shall bow downH7812 to thee with their faceH639 toward the earthH776, and lick upH3897 the dustH6083 of thy feetH7272; and thou shalt knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068: for they shall not be ashamedH954 that waitH6960 for me. {nursing fathers: Heb. nourishers} {queens: Heb. princesses}
Shall the preyH4455 be takenH3947 from the mightyH1368, or the lawfulH6662 captiveH7628 deliveredH4422? {lawful…: Heb. captivity of the just}
But thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Even the captivesH7628 of the mightyH1368 shall be taken awayH3947, and the preyH4455 of the terribleH6184 shall be deliveredH4422: for I will contendH7378 with him that contendethH3401 with thee, and I will saveH3467 thy childrenH1121. {captives: Heb. captivity}
And I will feedH398 them that oppressH3238 thee with their own fleshH1320; and they shall be drunkenH7937 with their own bloodH1818, as with sweet wineH6071: and all fleshH1320 shall knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 am thy SaviourH3467 and thy RedeemerH1350, the mighty OneH46 of JacobH3290. {sweet: or, new}
And I will pourH8210 upon the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, and upon the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, the spiritH7307 of graceH2580 and of supplicationsH8469: and they shall lookH5027 upon me whom they have piercedH1856, and they shall mournH4553 for him, as one mournethH5594 for his onlyH3173 son, and shall be in bitternessH4843 for him, as one that is in bitternessH4843 for his firstbornH1060.
BeholdG2400, he comethG2064 withG3326 cloudsG3507; andG2532 everyG3956 eyeG3788 shall seeG3700 himG846, andG2532 they also whichG3748 piercedG1574 himG846: andG2532 allG3956 kindredsG5443 of the earthG1093 shall wailG2875 becauseG1909 of himG846. Even soG3483, AmenG281.
And I will pourH8210 upon the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, and upon the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, the spiritH7307 of graceH2580 and of supplicationsH8469: and they shall lookH5027 upon me whom they have piercedH1856, and they shall mournH4553 for him, as one mournethH5594 for his onlyH3173 son, and shall be in bitternessH4843 for him, as one that is in bitternessH4843 for his firstbornH1060.
Who hath believedH539 our reportH8052? and to whom is the armH2220 of the LORDH3068 revealedH1540? {report: or, doctrine?: Heb. hearing?}
For he shall grow upH5927 beforeH6440 him as a tender plantH3126, and as a rootH8328 out of a dryH6723 groundH776: he hath no formH8389 nor comelinessH1926; and when we shall seeH7200 him, there is no beautyH4758 that we should desireH2530 him.
He is despisedH959 and rejectedH2310 of menH376; a manH376 of sorrowsH4341, and acquaintedH3045 with griefH2483: and we hid as it wereH4564 our facesH6440 from him; he was despisedH959, and we esteemedH2803 him not. {we hid…: or, he hid as it were his face from us: Heb. as an hiding of faces from him, or, from us}
SurelyH403 he hath borneH5375 our griefsH2483, and carriedH5445 our sorrowsH4341: yet we did esteemH2803 him strickenH5060, smittenH5221 of GodH430, and afflictedH6031.
But he was woundedH2490 for our transgressionsH6588, he was bruisedH1792 for our iniquitiesH5771: the chastisementH4148 of our peaceH7965 was upon him; and with his stripesH2250 we are healedH7495. {wounded: or, tormented} {stripes: Heb. bruise}
All we like sheepH6629 have gone astrayH8582; we have turnedH6437 every oneH376 to his own wayH1870; and the LORDH3068 hath laidH6293 on him the iniquityH5771 of us all. {laid…: Heb. made the iniquity of us all to meet on him}
He was oppressedH5065, and he was afflictedH6031, yet he openedH6605 not his mouthH6310: he is broughtH2986 as a lambH7716 to the slaughterH2874, and as a sheepH7353 beforeH6440 her shearersH1494 is dumbH481, so he openethH6605 not his mouthH6310.
He was takenH3947 from prisonH6115 and from judgmentH4941: and who shall declareH7878 his generationH1755? for he was cut offH1504 out of the landH776 of the livingH2416: for the transgressionH6588 of my peopleH5971 was he strickenH5061. {from prison…: or, he was taken away by distress and judgment: but, etc} {was he…: Heb. was the stroke upon him}
And he madeH5414 his graveH6913 with the wickedH7563, and with the richH6223 in his deathH4194; because he had doneH6213 no violenceH2555, neither was any deceitH4820 in his mouthH6310. {death: Heb. deaths}
Yet it pleasedH2654 the LORDH3068 to bruiseH1792 him; he hath put him to griefH2470: when thou shalt makeH7760 his soulH5315 an offering for sinH817, he shall seeH7200 his seedH2233, he shall prolongH748 his daysH3117, and the pleasureH2656 of the LORDH3068 shall prosperH6743 in his handH3027. {thou…: or, his soul shall make an offering}
He shall seeH7200 of the travailH5999 of his soulH5315, and shall be satisfiedH7646: by his knowledgeH1847 shall my righteousH6662 servantH5650 justifyH6663 manyH7227; for he shall bearH5445 their iniquitiesH5771.
Therefore will I divideH2505 him a portion with the greatH7227, and he shall divideH2505 the spoilH7998 with the strongH6099; because he hath poured outH6168 his soulH5315 unto deathH4194: and he was numberedH4487 with the transgressorsH6586; and he bareH5375 the sinH2399 of manyH7227, and made intercessionH6293 for the transgressorsH6586.
SingH7442, O barrenH6135, thou that didst not bearH3205; break forthH6476 into singingH7440, and cry aloudH6670, thou that didst not travail with childH2342: for moreH7227 are the childrenH1121 of the desolateH8074 than the childrenH1121 of the married wifeH1166, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
EnlargeH7337 the placeH4725 of thy tentH168, and let them stretch forthH5186 the curtainsH3407 of thine habitationsH4908: spareH2820 not, lengthenH748 thy cordsH4340, and strengthenH2388 thy stakesH3489;
For thou shalt break forthH6555 on the right handH3225 and on the leftH8040; and thy seedH2233 shall inheritH3423 the GentilesH1471, and make the desolateH8074 citiesH5892 to be inhabitedH3427.
FearH3372 not; for thou shalt not be ashamedH954: neither be thou confoundedH3637; for thou shalt not be put to shameH2659: for thou shalt forgetH7911 the shameH1322 of thy youthH5934, and shalt not rememberH2142 the reproachH2781 of thy widowhoodH491 any more.
For thy MakerH6213 is thine husbandH1166; the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is his nameH8034; and thy RedeemerH1350 the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478; The GodH430 of the whole earthH776 shall he be calledH7121.
For the LORDH3068 hath calledH7121 thee as a womanH802 forsakenH5800 and grievedH6087 in spiritH7307, and a wifeH802 of youthH5271, when thou wast refusedH3988, saithH559 thy GodH430.
For a smallH6996 momentH7281 have I forsakenH5800 thee; but with greatH1419 merciesH7356 will I gatherH6908 thee.
In a littleH8241 wrathH7110 I hidH5641 my faceH6440 from thee for a momentH7281; but with everlastingH5769 kindnessH2617 will I have mercyH7355 on thee, saithH559 the LORDH3068 thy RedeemerH1350.
For this is as the watersH4325 of NoahH5146 unto me: for as I have swornH7650 that the watersH4325 of NoahH5146 should no more go overH5674 the earthH776; so have I swornH7650 that I would not be wrothH7107 with thee, nor rebukeH1605 thee.
For the mountainsH2022 shall departH4185, and the hillsH1389 be removedH4131; but my kindnessH2617 shall not departH4185 from thee, neither shall the covenantH1285 of my peaceH7965 be removedH4131, saithH559 the LORDH3068 that hath mercyH7355 on thee.
O thou afflictedH6041, tossed with tempestH5590, and not comfortedH5162, behold, I will layH7257 thy stonesH68 with fair coloursH6320, and lay thy foundationsH3245 with sapphiresH5601.
And I will makeH7760 thy windowsH8121 of agatesH3539, and thy gatesH8179 of carbunclesH68+H688, and all thy bordersH1366 of pleasantH2656 stonesH68.
And all thy childrenH1121 shall be taughtH3928 of the LORDH3068; and greatH7227 shall be the peaceH7965 of thy childrenH1121.
In righteousnessH6666 shalt thou be establishedH3559: thou shalt be farH7368 from oppressionH6233; for thou shalt not fearH3372: and from terrorH4288; for it shall not come nearH7126 thee.
Behold, they shall surelyH1481 gather togetherH1481, but notH657 by me: whosoeverH4310 shall gather togetherH1481 against thee shall fallH5307 for thy sake.
Behold, I have createdH1254 the smithH2796 that blowethH5301 the coalsH6352 in the fireH784, and that bringeth forthH3318 an instrumentH3627 for his workH4639; and I have createdH1254 the wasterH7843 to destroyH2254.
No weaponH3627 that is formedH3335 against thee shall prosperH6743; and every tongueH3956 that shall riseH6965 against thee in judgmentH4941 thou shalt condemnH7561. This is the heritageH5159 of the servantsH5650 of the LORDH3068, and their righteousnessH6666 is of me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
ListenH8085, O islesH339, unto me; and hearkenH7181, ye peopleH3816, from farH7350; The LORDH3068 hath calledH7121 me from the wombH990; from the bowelsH4578 of my motherH517 hath he made mentionH2142 of my nameH8034.
And he hath madeH7760 my mouthH6310 like a sharpH2299 swordH2719; in the shadowH6738 of his handH3027 hath he hidH2244 me, and madeH7760 me a polishedH1305 shaftH2671; in his quiverH827 hath he hidH5641 me;
And saidH559 unto me, Thou art my servantH5650, O IsraelH3478, in whom I will be glorifiedH6286.
Then I saidH559, I have labouredH3021 in vainH7385, I have spentH3615 my strengthH3581 for noughtH8414, and in vainH1892: yet surelyH403 my judgmentH4941 is with the LORDH3068, and my workH6468 with my GodH430. {my work: or, my reward}
And now, saithH559 the LORDH3068 that formedH3335 me from the wombH990 to be his servantH5650, to bringH7725 JacobH3290 againH7725 to him, Though IsraelH3478 be not gatheredH622, yet shall I be gloriousH3513 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068, and my GodH430 shall be my strengthH5797. {Though…: or, That Israel may be gathered to him, and I may, etc}
And he saidH559, It is a light thingH7043 that thou shouldest be my servantH5650 to raise upH6965 the tribesH7626 of JacobH3290, and to restoreH7725 the preservedH5341+H5336 of IsraelH3478: I will also giveH5414 thee for a lightH216 to the GentilesH1471, that thou mayest be my salvationH3444 unto the endH7097 of the earthH776. {It is…: or, Art thou lighter than that thou shouldest, etc} {preserved: or, desolations}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the RedeemerH1350 of IsraelH3478, and his Holy OneH6918, to him whom manH5315 despisethH960, to him whom the nationH1471 abhorrethH8581, to a servantH5650 of rulersH4910, KingsH4428 shall seeH7200 and ariseH6965, princesH8269 also shall worshipH7812, because of the LORDH3068 that is faithfulH539, and the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, and he shall chooseH977 thee. {whom man…: or, that is despised in soul}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, In an acceptableH7522 timeH6256 have I heardH6030 thee, and in a dayH3117 of salvationH3444 have I helpedH5826 thee: and I will preserveH5341 thee, and giveH5414 thee for a covenantH1285 of the peopleH5971, to establishH6965 the earthH776, to cause to inheritH5157 the desolateH8074 heritagesH5159; {establish: or, raise up}
That thou mayest sayH559 to the prisonersH631, Go forthH3318; to them that are in darknessH2822, ShewH1540 yourselves. They shall feedH7462 in the waysH1870, and their pasturesH4830 shall be in all high placesH8205.
They shall not hungerH7456 nor thirstH6770; neither shall the heatH8273 nor sunH8121 smiteH5221 them: for he that hath mercyH7355 on them shall leadH5090 them, even by the springsH4002 of waterH4325 shall he guideH5095 them.
And I will makeH7760 all my mountainsH2022 a wayH1870, and my highwaysH4546 shall be exaltedH7311.
Behold, these shall comeH935 from farH7350: and, lo, these from the northH6828 and from the westH3220; and these from the landH776 of SinimH5515.
SingH7442, O heavensH8064; and be joyfulH1523, O earthH776; and break forthH6476 into singingH7440, O mountainsH2022: for the LORDH3068 hath comfortedH5162 his peopleH5971, and will have mercyH7355 upon his afflictedH6041.
But ZionH6726 saidH559, The LORDH3068 hath forsakenH5800 me, and my LordH136 hath forgottenH7911 me.
Can a womanH802 forgetH7911 her sucking childH5764, that she should not have compassionH7355 on the sonH1121 of her wombH990? yea, they may forgetH7911, yet will I not forgetH7911 thee. {that…: Heb. from having compassion}
Behold, I have gravenH2710 thee upon the palms of my handsH3709; thy wallsH2346 are continuallyH8548 before me.
Thy childrenH1121 shall make hasteH4116; thy destroyersH2040 and they that made thee wasteH2717 shall go forthH3318 of thee.
Lift upH5375 thine eyesH5869 round aboutH5439, and beholdH7200: all these gather themselves togetherH6908, and comeH935 to thee. As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, thou shalt surely clotheH3847 thee with them all, as with an ornamentH5716, and bindH7194 them on thee, as a brideH3618 doeth.
For thy wasteH2723 and thy desolate placesH8074, and the landH776 of thy destructionH2035, shall even now be too narrowH3334 by reason of the inhabitantsH3427, and they that swallowed thee upH1104 shall be far awayH7368.
The childrenH1121 which thou shalt have, after thou hast lostH7923 the other, shall sayH559 again in thine earsH241, The placeH4725 is too straitH6862 for me: giveH5066 placeH4725 to me that I may dwellH3427.
Then shalt thou sayH559 in thine heartH3824, Who hath begottenH3205 me these, seeing I have lost my childrenH7921, and am desolateH1565, a captiveH1540, and removing to and froH5493? and who hath brought upH1431 these? Behold, I was leftH7604 alone; these, whereH375 had they been?
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069, Behold, I will lift upH5375 mine handH3027 to the GentilesH1471, and set upH7311 my standardH5251 to the peopleH5971: and they shall bringH935 thy sonsH1121 in their armsH2684, and thy daughtersH1323 shall be carriedH5375 upon their shouldersH3802. {arms: Heb. bosom}
And kingsH4428 shall be thy nursing fathersH539, and their queensH8282 thy nursing mothersH3243: they shall bow downH7812 to thee with their faceH639 toward the earthH776, and lick upH3897 the dustH6083 of thy feetH7272; and thou shalt knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068: for they shall not be ashamedH954 that waitH6960 for me. {nursing fathers: Heb. nourishers} {queens: Heb. princesses}
Shall the preyH4455 be takenH3947 from the mightyH1368, or the lawfulH6662 captiveH7628 deliveredH4422? {lawful…: Heb. captivity of the just}
But thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Even the captivesH7628 of the mightyH1368 shall be taken awayH3947, and the preyH4455 of the terribleH6184 shall be deliveredH4422: for I will contendH7378 with him that contendethH3401 with thee, and I will saveH3467 thy childrenH1121. {captives: Heb. captivity}
And I will feedH398 them that oppressH3238 thee with their own fleshH1320; and they shall be drunkenH7937 with their own bloodH1818, as with sweet wineH6071: and all fleshH1320 shall knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 am thy SaviourH3467 and thy RedeemerH1350, the mighty OneH46 of JacobH3290. {sweet: or, new}
Behold my servantH5650, whom I upholdH8551; mine electH972, in whom my soulH5315 delightethH7521; I have putH5414 my spiritH7307 upon him: he shall bring forthH3318 judgmentH4941 to the GentilesH1471.
He shall not cryH6817, nor lift upH5375, nor cause his voiceH6963 to be heardH8085 in the streetH2351.
A bruisedH7533 reedH7070 shall he not breakH7665, and the smokingH3544 flaxH6594 shall he not quenchH3518: he shall bring forthH3318 judgmentH4941 unto truthH571. {smoking: or, dimly burning} {quench: Heb. quench it}
He shall not failH3543 nor be discouragedH7533, till he have setH7760 judgmentH4941 in the earthH776: and the islesH339 shall waitH3176 for his lawH8451. {discouraged: Heb. broken}
Thus saithH559 GodH410 the LORDH3068, he that createdH1254 the heavensH8064, and stretched them outH5186; he that spread forthH7554 the earthH776, and that which cometh outH6631 of it; he that givethH5414 breathH5397 unto the peopleH5971 upon it, and spiritH7307 to them that walkH1980 therein:
I the LORDH3068 have calledH7121 thee in righteousnessH6664, and will holdH2388 thine handH3027, and will keepH5341 thee, and giveH5414 thee for a covenantH1285 of the peopleH5971, for a lightH216 of the GentilesH1471;
To openH6491 the blindH5787 eyesH5869, to bring outH3318 the prisonersH616 from the prisonH4525, and them that sitH3427 in darknessH2822 out of the prisonH3608 houseH1004.
I am the LORDH3068: that is my nameH8034: and my gloryH3519 will I not giveH5414 to anotherH312, neither my praiseH8416 to graven imagesH6456.
Behold, the former thingsH7223 are come to passH935, and new thingsH2319 do I declareH5046: before they spring forthH6779 I tellH8085 you of them.
SingH7891 unto the LORDH3068 a newH2319 songH7892, and his praiseH8416 from the endH7097 of the earthH776, ye that go downH3381 to the seaH3220, and all that is thereinH4393; the islesH339, and the inhabitantsH3427 thereof. {all…: Heb. the fulness thereof}
Let the wildernessH4057 and the citiesH5892 thereof lift upH5375 their voice, the villagesH2691 that KedarH6938 doth inhabitH3427: let the inhabitantsH3427 of the rockH5553 singH7442, let them shoutH6681 from the topH7218 of the mountainsH2022.
Let them giveH7760 gloryH3519 unto the LORDH3068, and declareH5046 his praiseH8416 in the islandsH339.
The LORDH3068 shall go forthH3318 as a mighty manH1368, he shall stir upH5782 jealousyH7068 like a manH376 of warH4421: he shall cryH7321, yea, roarH6873; he shall prevailH1396 against his enemiesH341. {prevail: or, behave himself mightily}
I have long timeH5769 holden my peaceH2814; I have been stillH2790, and refrainedH662 myself: now will I cryH6463 like a travailing womanH3205; I will destroyH5395+H8074 and devourH7602 at onceH3162. {devour: Heb. swallow, or, sup up}
I will make wasteH2717 mountainsH2022 and hillsH1389, and dry upH3001 all their herbsH6212; and I will makeH7760 the riversH5104 islandsH339, and I will dry upH3001 the poolsH98.
And I will bringH3212 the blindH5787 by a wayH1870 that they knewH3045 not; I will leadH1869 them in pathsH5410 that they have not knownH3045: I will makeH7760 darknessH4285 lightH216 beforeH6440 them, and crooked thingsH4625 straightH4334. These thingsH1697 will I doH6213 unto them, and not forsakeH5800 them. {straight: Heb. into straightness}
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.
HearH8085, ye deafH2795; and lookH5027, ye blindH5787, that ye may seeH7200.
Who is blindH5787, but my servantH5650? or deafH2795, as my messengerH4397 that I sentH7971? who is blindH5787 as he that is perfectH7999, and blindH5787 as the LORD'SH3068 servantH5650?
SeeingH7200+H7200 many thingsH7227, but thou observestH8104 not; openingH6491 the earsH241, but he hearethH8085 not.
The LORDH3068 is well pleasedH2654 for his righteousness'H6664 sake; he will magnifyH1431 the lawH8451, and make it honourableH142. {it: or, him}
But this is a peopleH5971 robbedH962 and spoiledH8154; they are all of them snaredH6351 in holesH2352+H970, and they are hidH2244 in prisonH3608 housesH1004: they are for a preyH957, and none deliverethH5337; for a spoilH4933, and none saithH559, RestoreH7725. {they are all…: or, in snaring all the young men of them} {for a spoil: Heb. a treading}
Who among you will give earH238 to this? who will hearkenH7181 and hearH8085 for the time to comeH268? {for…: Heb. for the after time?}
Who gaveH5414 JacobH3290 for a spoilH4933+H4882, and IsraelH3478 to the robbersH962? did not the LORDH3068, he against whomH2098 we have sinnedH2398? for they wouldH14 not walkH1980 in his waysH1870, neither were they obedientH8085 unto his lawH8451.
Therefore he hath pouredH8210 upon him the furyH2534 of his angerH639, and the strengthH5807 of battleH4421: and it hath set him on fireH3857 round aboutH5439, yet he knewH3045 not; and it burnedH1197 him, yet he laidH7760 it not to heartH3820.
Now therefore be not grievedH6087, nor angryH2734 with yourselvesH5869, that ye soldH4376 me hither: for GodH430 did sendH7971 me before youH6440 to preserve lifeH4241. {nor…: Heb. neither let there be anger in your eyes}
But as for you, ye thoughtH2803 evilH7451 against me; but GodH430 meant itH2803 unto goodH2896, toH4616 bring to passH6213, as it is this dayH3117, to saveH2421 muchH7227 peopleH5971 aliveH2421.
HearkenH8085 unto me, O houseH1004 of JacobH3290, and all the remnantH7611 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, which are borneH6006 by me from the bellyH990, which are carriedH5375 from the wombH7356:
HearkenH8085 unto me, ye stoutheartedH47+H3820, that are far fromH7350 righteousnessH6666:
LookH5027 unto AbrahamH85 your fatherH1, and unto SarahH8283 that bareH2342 you: for I calledH7121 him aloneH259, and blessedH1288 him, and increasedH7235 him.
ThisH2098 peopleH5971 have I formedH3335 for myself; they shall shew forthH5608 my praiseH8416.
BeholdG2396, thouG4771 art calledG2028 a JewG2453, andG2532 restestG1879 in the lawG3551, andG2532 makest thy boastG2744 ofG1722 GodG2316,
AndG2532 knowestG1097 his willG2307, andG2532 approvestG1381 the things that are more excellentG1308, being instructedG2727 out ofG1537 the lawG3551; {approvest…: or, triest the things that differ}
AndG5037 art confidentG3982 that thou thyselfG4572 artG1511 a guideG3595 of the blindG5185, a lightG5457 of them which are inG1722 darknessG4655,
An instructorG3810 of the foolishG878, a teacherG1320 of babesG3516, which hastG2192 the formG3446 of knowledgeG1108 andG2532 of the truthG225 inG1722 the lawG3551.
ForG1063 the nameG3686 of GodG2316 is blasphemedG987 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484 throughG1223 youG5209, asG2531 it is writtenG1125.
Who is blindH5787, but my servantH5650? or deafH2795, as my messengerH4397 that I sentH7971? who is blindH5787 as he that is perfectH7999, and blindH5787 as the LORD'SH3068 servantH5650?
AndG2532 soG3779 it is writtenG1125, The firstG4413 manG444 AdamG76 was madeG1096+G1519 a livingG2198 soulG5590; the lastG2078 AdamG76 was madeG1519 a quickeningG2227 spiritG4151.
HowbeitG235 that was notG3756 firstG4412 which is spiritualG4152, butG235 that which is naturalG5591; and afterwardG1899 that which is spiritualG4152.
The firstG4413 manG444 is ofG1537 the earthG1093, earthyG5517: the secondG1208 manG444 is the LordG2962 fromG1537 heavenG3772.
AndG2532 wasG2258 thereG1563 untilG2193 the deathG5054 of HerodG2264: thatG2443 it might be fulfilledG4137 whichG3588 was spokenG4483 ofG5259 the LordG2962 byG1223 the prophetG4396, sayingG3004, Out ofG1537 EgyptG125 have I calledG2564 myG3450 sonG5207.
IG1473 amG1510 the trueG228 vineG288, andG2532 myG3450 FatherG3962 isG2076 the husbandmanG1092.
AndG1161 she shall bring forthG5088 a sonG5207, andG2532 thou shalt callG2564 hisG846 nameG3686 JESUSG2424: forG1063 heG846 shall saveG4982 hisG846 peopleG2992 fromG575 theirG846 sinsG266. {JESUS: that is, Saviour, Heb}
AndG2532 the angelG32 answeredG611 and saidG2036 unto herG846, The HolyG40 GhostG4151 shall comeG1904 uponG1909 theeG4571, andG2532 the powerG1411 of the HighestG5310 shall overshadowG1982 theeG4671: thereforeG1352 alsoG2532 that holy thingG40 which shall be bornG1080 ofG1537 theeG4675 shall be calledG2564 the SonG5207 of GodG2316.
AndG2532 takeG1209 the helmetG4030 of salvationG4992, andG2532 the swordG3162 of the SpiritG4151, which isG3603 the wordG4487 of GodG2316:
ThinkG3543 notG3361 thatG3754 I am comeG2064 to sendG906 peaceG1515 onG1909 earthG1093: I cameG2064 notG3756 to sendG906 peaceG1515, butG235 a swordG3162.
ThereforeG3767, whenG3753 he was gone outG1831, JesusG2424 saidG3004, NowG3568 isG1392 the SonG5207 of manG444 glorifiedG1392, andG2532 GodG2316 is glorifiedG1392 inG1722 himG846.
IfG1487 GodG2316 be glorifiedG1392 inG1722 himG846, GodG2316 shallG1392 alsoG2532 glorifyG1392 himG846 inG1722 himselfG1438, andG2532 shallG1392 straightwayG2117 glorifyG1392 himG846.
Now will I singH7891 to my wellbelovedH3039 a songH7892 of my belovedH1730 touching his vineyardH3754. My wellbelovedH3039 hath a vineyardH3754 in a very fruitfulH1121+H8081 hillH7161: {a very…: Heb. the horn of the son of oil}
And he fencedH5823 it, and gathered out the stonesH5619 thereof, and plantedH5193 it with the choicest vineH8321, and builtH1129 a towerH4026 in the midstH8432 of it, and also madeH2672 a winepressH3342 therein: and he lookedH6960 that it should bring forthH6213 grapesH6025, and it brought forthH6213 wild grapesH891. {fenced: or, made a wall about} {made: Heb. hewed}
And now, O inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and menH376 of JudahH3063, judgeH8199, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyardH3754.
What could have been doneH6213 more to my vineyardH3754, that I have not doneH6213 in it? whereforeH4069, when I lookedH6960 that it should bring forthH6213 grapesH6025, brought it forthH6213 wild grapesH891?
And now go to; I will tellH3045 you what I will doH6213 to my vineyardH3754: I will take awayH5493 the hedgeH4881 thereof, and it shall be eaten upH1197; and break downH6555 the wallH1447 thereof, and it shall be trodden downH4823: {trodden…: Heb. for a treading}
And I will layH7896 it wasteH1326: it shall not be prunedH2168, nor diggedH5737; but there shall come upH5927 briersH8068 and thornsH7898: I will also commandH6680 the cloudsH5645 that they rainH4305 no rainH4306 upon it.
For the vineyardH3754 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and the menH376 of JudahH3063 his pleasantH8191 plantH5194: and he lookedH6960 for judgmentH4941, but behold oppressionH4939; for righteousnessH6666, but behold a cryH6818. {his…: Heb. plant of his pleasures} {oppression: Heb. a scab}
IG1473 amG1510 the trueG228 vineG288, andG2532 myG3450 FatherG3962 isG2076 the husbandmanG1092.
He cameG2064 untoG1519 his ownG2398, andG2532 his ownG2398 receivedG3880 himG846 notG3756.
ThenG5119 began heG756 to upbraidG3679 the citiesG4172 whereinG1722+G3739 mostG4118 of hisG846 mighty worksG1411 were doneG1096, becauseG3754 they repentedG3340 notG3756:
WoeG3759 unto theeG4671, ChorazinG5523! woeG3759 unto theeG4671, BethsaidaG966! forG3754 ifG1487 the mighty worksG1411, whichG3588 were doneG1096 inG1722 youG5213, had been doneG1096 inG1722 TyreG5184 andG2532 SidonG4605, they would have repentedG3340 long agoG302+G3819 inG1722 sackclothG4526 andG2532 ashesG4700.
ButG4133 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, It shall beG2071 more tolerableG414 for TyreG5184 andG2532 SidonG4605 atG1722 the dayG2250 of judgmentG2920, thanG2228 for youG5213.
AndG2532 thouG4771, CapernaumG2584, whichG3588 art exaltedG5312 untoG2193 heavenG3772, shalt be brought downG2601 toG2193 hellG86: forG3754 ifG1487 the mighty worksG1411, whichG3588 have been doneG1096 inG1722 theeG4671, had been doneG1096 inG1722 SodomG4670, it would have remainedG302+G3306 untilG3360 this dayG4594.
ButG4133 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, ThatG3754 it shall beG2071 more tolerableG414 for the landG1093 of SodomG4670 inG1722 the dayG2250 of judgmentG2920, thanG2228 for theeG4671.
AtG1722 thatG1565 timeG2540 JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG2036, I thankG1843 theeG4671, O FatherG3962, LordG2962 of heavenG3772 andG2532 earthG1093, becauseG3754 thou hast hidG613 these thingsG5023 fromG575 the wiseG4680 andG2532 prudentG4908, andG2532 hast revealedG601 themG846 unto babesG3516.
Even soG3483, FatherG3962: forG3754 soG3779 it seemedG1096 goodG2107 in thyG4675 sightG1715.
All thingsG3956 are deliveredG3860 unto meG3427 ofG5259 myG3450 FatherG3962: andG2532 no manG3762 knowethG1921 the SonG5207, butG1508 the FatherG3962; neitherG3761 knowethG1921 any manG5100 the FatherG3962, saveG1508 the SonG5207, and heG2532 toG3739 whomsoeverG1437 the SonG5207 willG1014 revealG601 him.
ComeG1205 untoG4314 meG3165, allG3956 ye that labourG2872 andG2532 are heavy ladenG5412, and IG2504 will giveG373 youG5209 restG373.
TakeG142 myG3450 yokeG2218 uponG1909 youG5209, andG2532 learnG3129 ofG575 meG1700; forG3754 I amG1510 meekG4235 andG2532 lowlyG5011 in heartG2588: andG2532 ye shall findG2147 restG372 unto yourG5216 soulsG5590.
ForG1063 myG3450 yokeG2218 is easyG5543, andG2532 myG3450 burdenG5413 isG2076 lightG1645.
WhoG3739, when he was reviledG3058, reviledG486 notG3756 againG486; when he sufferedG3958, he threatenedG546 notG3756; butG1161 committedG3860 himself to him that judgethG2919 righteouslyG1346: {himself: or, his cause}
NowG1161 I sayG3004 that JesusG2424 ChristG5547 wasG1096 a ministerG1249 of the circumcisionG4061 forG5228 the truthG225 of GodG2316, toG1519 confirmG950 the promisesG1860 made unto the fathersG3962:
ButG1161 he answeredG611 and saidG2036, I amG649 notG3756 sentG649 butG1508 untoG1519 the lostG622 sheepG4263 of the houseG3624 of IsraelG2474.
And JudahH3063 saidH559 unto his brethrenH251, What profitH1215 is it if we slayH2026 our brotherH251, and concealH3680 his bloodH1818?
ComeH3212, and let us sellH4376 him to the IshmeelitesH3459, and let not our handH3027 be upon him; for he is our brotherH251 and our fleshH1320. And his brethrenH251 were contentH8085. {were…: Heb. hearkened}
Then JudahH3063 came nearH5066 unto him, and saidH559, OhH994 my lordH113, let thy servantH5650, I pray thee, speakH1696 a wordH1697 in my lord'sH113 earsH241, and let not thine angerH639 burnH2734 against thy servantH5650: for thou art even as PharaohH6547.
My lordH113 askedH7592 his servantsH5650, sayingH559, HaveH3426 ye a fatherH1, or a brotherH251?
And we saidH559 unto my lordH113, We haveH3426 a fatherH1, an old manH2205, and a childH3206 of his old ageH2208, a little oneH6996; and his brotherH251 is deadH4191, and he alone is leftH3498 of his motherH517, and his fatherH1 lovethH157 him.
And thou saidstH559 unto thy servantsH5650, Bring him downH3381 unto me, that I may setH7760 mine eyesH5869 upon him.
And we saidH559 unto my lordH113, The ladH5288 cannotH3201 leaveH5800 his fatherH1: for if he should leaveH5800 his fatherH1, his father would dieH4191.
And thou saidstH559 unto thy servantsH5650, ExceptH3808 your youngestH6996 brotherH251 come downH3381 with you, ye shall seeH7200+H3254 my faceH6440 no moreH7200+H3254.
And it came to pass when we came upH5927 unto thy servantH5650 my fatherH1, we toldH5046 him the wordsH1697 of my lordH113.
And our fatherH1 saidH559, Go againH7725, and buyH7666 us a littleH4592 foodH400.
And we saidH559, We cannotH3201 go downH3381: if our youngestH6996 brotherH251 beH3426 with us, then will we go downH3381: for we mayH3201 not seeH7200 the man'sH376 faceH6440, exceptH369 our youngestH6996 brotherH251 be with us.
And thy servantH5650 my fatherH1 saidH559 unto us, Ye knowH3045 that my wifeH802 bareH3205 me twoH8147 sons:
And the oneH259 went outH3318 from me, and I saidH559, SurelyH2963 he is torn in piecesH2963; and I saw himH7200 not sinceH2008:
And if ye takeH3947 this also fromH5973 meH6440, and mischiefH611 befall himH7136, ye shall bring downH3381 my gray hairsH7872 with sorrowH7451 to the graveH7585.
Now therefore when I comeH935 to thy servantH5650 my fatherH1, and the ladH5288 be not with us; seeing that his lifeH5315 is bound upH7194 in the lad's lifeH5315;
It shall come to pass, when he seethH7200 that the ladH5288 is not with us, that he will dieH4191: and thy servantsH5650 shall bring downH3381 the gray hairsH7872 of thy servantH5650 our fatherH1 with sorrowH3015 to the graveH7585.
For thy servantH5650 became suretyH6148 for the ladH5288 untoH5973 my fatherH1, sayingH559, If I bringH935 him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blameH2398 to my fatherH1 for everH3117.
Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servantH5650 abideH3427 instead of the ladH5288 a bondmanH5650 to my lordH113; and let the ladH5288 go upH5927 with his brethrenH251.
For howH349 shall I go upH5927 to my fatherH1, and the ladH5288 be not with me? lest peradventure I seeH7200 the evilH7451 that shall come onH4672 my fatherH1. {come…: Heb. find my father}
ThenG1161 PaulG3972 andG2532 BarnabasG921 waxed boldG3955, and saidG2036, It wasG2258 necessaryG316 that the wordG3056 of GodG2316 shouldG2980 firstG4412 have been spokenG2980 to youG5213: butG1161 seeingG1894 ye putG683 itG846 from youG683, andG2532 judgeG2919 yourselvesG1438 unworthyG3756+G514 of everlastingG166 lifeG2222, loG2400, we turnG4762 toG1519 the GentilesG1484.
ForG1063 soG3779 hathG1781 the LordG2962 commandedG1781 usG2254, saying, I have setG5087 theeG4571 to beG1519 a lightG5457 of the GentilesG1484, that thouG4571 shouldest beG1511 forG1519 salvationG4991 untoG2193 the endsG2078 of the earthG1093.
A lightG5457 toG1519 lightenG602 the GentilesG1484, andG2532 the gloryG1391 of thyG4675 peopleG2992 IsraelG2474.
He is despisedH959 and rejectedH2310 of menH376; a manH376 of sorrowsH4341, and acquaintedH3045 with griefH2483: and we hid as it wereH4564 our facesH6440 from him; he was despisedH959, and we esteemedH2803 him not. {we hid…: or, he hid as it were his face from us: Heb. as an hiding of faces from him, or, from us}
Behold, we are servantsH5650 this dayH3117, and for the landH776 that thou gavestH5414 unto our fathersH1 to eatH398 the fruitH6529 thereof and the goodH2898 thereof, behold, we are servantsH5650 in it:
WhichG3739 noneG3762 of the princesG758 of thisG5127 worldG165 knewG1097: forG1487+G1063 had they knownG1097 it, theyG302 wouldG4717 notG3756 have crucifiedG4717 the LordG2962 of gloryG1391.
