Yet now hear,{H8085} O Jacob{H3290} my servant,{H5650} and Israel,{H3478} who I have chosen:{H977}

Thus saith{H559} Jehovah{H3068} that made{H6213} thee, and formed{H3335} thee from the womb,{H990} who will help{H5826} thee: Fear{H3372} not, O Jacob{H3290} my servant;{H5650} and thou, Jeshurun,{H3484} whom I have chosen.{H977}

For I will pour{H3332} water{H4325} upon him that is thirsty,{H6771} and streams{H5140} upon the dry ground;{H3004} I will pour{H3332} my Spirit{H7307} upon thy seed,{H2233} and my blessing{H1293} upon thine offspring:{H6631}

and they shall spring up{H6779} among{H996} the grass,{H2682} as willows{H6155} by the {H4325} watercourses.{H2988}

One shall say,{H559} I am Jehovah's;{H3068} and another shall call{H7121} [himself] by the name{H8034} of Jacob;{H3290} and another shall subscribe{H3789} with his hand{H3027} unto Jehovah,{H3068} and surname{H3655} [himself] by the name{H8034} of Israel.{H3478}

Thus saith{H559} Jehovah,{H3068} the King{H4428} of Israel,{H3478} and his Redeemer,{H1350} Jehovah{H3068} of hosts:{H6635} I am the first,{H7223} and I am the last;{H314} and besides{H1107} me there is no God.{H430}

And who, as I, shall call,{H7121} and shall declare{H5046} it, and set it in order{H6186} for me, since I established{H7760} the ancient{H5769} people?{H5971} and the things that are coming,{H857} and that shall come{H935} to pass, let them declare.{H5046}

Fear{H6342} ye not, neither be afraid:{H7297} have I not declared{H5046} unto thee of old,{H227} and showed{H8085} it? and ye are my witnesses.{H5707} Is there{H3426} a God{H433} besides{H1107} me? yea, there is no Rock;{H6697} I know{H3045} not any.

They that fashion{H3335} a graven image{H6459} are all of them vanity;{H8414} and the things{H2530} that they delight in shall not profit;{H3276} and their own witnesses{H5707} see{H7200} not, nor know:{H3045} that they may be put to shame.{H954}

Who hath fashioned{H3335} a god,{H410} or molten{H5258} an image{H6459} that is profitable{H3276} for nothing?{H1115}

Behold, all his fellows{H2270} shall be put to shame;{H954} and the workmen,{H2796} they are of men:{H120} let them all be gathered together,{H6908} let them stand up;{H5975} they shall fear,{H6342} they shall be put to shame{H954} together.{H3162}

The smith{H1270} [maketh] an axe,{H4621} and worketh{H6466} in the coals,{H6352} and fashioneth{H3335} it with hammers,{H4717} and worketh{H6466} it with his strong{H3581} arm:{H2220} yea, he is hungry,{H7457} and his strength{H3581} faileth;{H369} he drinketh{H8354} no water,{H4325} and is faint.{H3286}

The carpenter{H2796} stretcheth out{H5186} a line;{H8279} he marketh it out{H8388} with a pencil;{H8279} he shapeth{H6213} it with planes,{H4741} and he marketh it out{H8388} with the compasses,{H4230} and shapeth{H6213} it after the figure{H8403} of a man,{H376} according to the beauty{H8597} of a man,{H120} to dwell{H3427} in a house.{H1004}

He heweth him down{H3772} cedars,{H730} and taketh{H3947} the holm-tree{H8645} and the oak,{H437} and strengtheneth{H553} for himself one among the trees{H6086} of the forest:{H3293} he planteth{H5193} a fir-tree,{H766} and the rain{H1653} doth nourish{H1431} it.

Then shall it be for a man{H120} to burn;{H1197} and he taketh{H3947} thereof, and warmeth{H2552} himself; yea, he kindleth{H5400} it, and baketh{H644} bread:{H3899} yea, he maketh{H6466} a god,{H410} and worshippeth{H7812} it; he maketh{H6213} it a graven image,{H6459} and falleth down{H5456} thereto.

He burneth{H8313} part{H2677} thereof in{H1119} the fire;{H784} with part{H2677} thereof he eateth{H398} flesh;{H1320} he roasteth{H6740} roast,{H6748} and is satisfied;{H7646} yea, he warmeth{H2552} himself, and saith,{H559} Aha,{H1889} I am warm,{H2552} I have seen{H7200} the fire.{H217}

And the residue{H7611} thereof he maketh{H6213} a god,{H410} even his graven image;{H6459} he falleth down{H5456} unto it and worshippeth,{H7812} and prayeth{H6419} unto it, and saith,{H559} Deliver{H5337} me; for thou art my god.{H410}

They know{H3045} not, neither do they consider:{H995} for he hath shut{H2902} their eyes,{H5869} that they cannot see;{H7200} and their hearts,{H3826} that they cannot understand.{H7919}

And none calleth{H7725} to mind,{H3820} neither is there knowledge{H1847} nor understanding{H8394} to say,{H559} I have burned{H8313} part{H2677} of it in{H1119} the fire;{H784} yea, also I have baked{H644} bread{H3899} upon the coals{H1513} thereof; I have roasted{H6740} flesh{H1320} and eaten{H398} it: and shall I make{H6213} the residue{H3499} thereof an abomination?{H8441} shall I fall down{H5456} to the stock{H944} of a tree?{H6086}

He feedeth{H7462} on ashes;{H665} a deceived{H2048} heart{H3820} hath turned him aside;{H5186} and he cannot deliver{H5337} his soul,{H5315} nor say,{H559} Is there not a lie{H8267} in my right hand?{H3225}

Remember{H2142} these things, O Jacob,{H3290} and Israel;{H3478} for thou art my servant:{H5650} I have formed{H3335} thee; thou art my servant:{H5650} O Israel,{H3478} thou shalt not be forgotten{H5382} of me.

I have blotted out,{H4229} as a thick cloud,{H5645} thy transgressions,{H6588} and, as a cloud,{H6051} thy sins:{H2403} return{H7725} unto me; for I have redeemed{H1350} thee.

Sing,{H7442} O ye heavens,{H8064} for Jehovah{H3068} hath done{H6213} it; shout,{H7321} ye lower parts{H8482} of the earth;{H776} break forth{H6476} into singing,{H7440} ye mountains,{H2022} O forest,{H3293} and every tree{H6086} therein: for Jehovah{H3068} hath redeemed{H1350} Jacob,{H3290} and will glorify{H6286} himself in Israel.{H3478}

Thus saith{H559} Jehovah,{H3068} thy Redeemer,{H1350} and he that formed{H3335} thee from the womb:{H990} I am Jehovah,{H3068} that maketh{H6213} all things; that stretcheth forth{H5186} the heavens{H8064} alone; that spreadeth abroad{H7554} the earth{H776} (who is with me?);

that frustrateth{H6565} the signs{H226} of the liars,{H907} and maketh diviners{H7080} mad;{H1984} that turneth{H7725} wise{H2450} men backward,{H268} and maketh their knowledge{H1847} foolish;{H5528}

that confirmeth{H6965} the word{H1697} of his servant,{H5650} and performeth{H7999} the counsel{H6098} of his messengers;{H4397} that saith{H559} of Jerusalem,{H3389} She shall be inhabited;{H3427} and of the cities{H5892} of Judah,{H3063} They shall be built,{H1129} and I will raise up{H6965} the waste places{H2723} thereof;

that saith{H559} to the deep,{H6683} Be dry,{H2717} and I will dry up{H3001} thy rivers;{H5104}

That saith{H559} of Cyrus,{H3566} [He is] my shepherd,{H7462} and shall perform{H7999} all my pleasure,{H2656} even saying{H559} of Jerusalem,{H3389} She shall be built;{H1129} and of the temple,{H1964} Thy foundation shall be laid.{H3245}
