Hear{H8085} ye this, O house{H1004} of Jacob,{H3290} who are called{H7121} by the name{H8034} of Israel,{H3478} and are come forth{H3318} out of the waters{H4325} of Judah;{H3063} who swear{H7650} by the name{H8034} of Jehovah,{H3068} and make mention{H2142} of the God{H430} of Israel,{H3478} but not in truth,{H571} nor in righteousness{H6666}

(for they call{H7121} themselves of the holy{H6944} city,{H5892} and stay{H5564} themselves upon the God{H430} of Israel;{H3478} Jehovah{H3068} of hosts{H6635} is his name):{H8034}

I have declared{H5046} the former things{H7223} from of old;{H227} yea, they went forth{H3318} out of my mouth,{H6310} and I showed{H8085} them: suddenly{H6597} I did{H6213} them, and they came to pass.{H935}

Because I knew{H1847} that thou art obstinate,{H7186} and thy neck{H6203} is an iron{H1270} sinew,{H1517} and thy brow{H4696} brass;{H5154}

therefore I have declared{H5046} it to thee from of old; before{H227} it came to pass{H935} I showed{H8085} it thee; lest thou shouldest say,{H559} Mine idol{H6090} hath done{H6213} them, and my graven image,{H6459} and my molten image,{H5262} hath commanded{H6680} them.

Thou hast heard{H8085} it; behold{H2372} all this; and ye, will ye not declare{H5046} it? I have showed{H8085} thee new things{H2319} from this time,{H6258} even hidden things,{H5341} which thou hast not known.{H3045}

They are created{H1254} now, and not from of old; and before{H6440} this day{H3117} thou heardest{H8085} them not; lest thou shouldest say,{H559} Behold, I knew{H3045} them.

Yea, thou heardest{H8085} not; yea, thou knewest{H3045} not; yea, from of old thine ear{H241} was not opened:{H6605} for I knew{H3045} that thou didst deal very{H898} treacherously,{H898} and wast called{H7121} a transgressor{H6586} from the womb.{H990}

For my name's{H8034} sake will I defer{H748} mine anger,{H639} and for my praise{H8416} will I refrain{H2413} for thee, that I cut thee not off.{H3772}

Behold, I have refined{H6884} thee, but not as silver;{H3701} I have chosen{H977} thee in the furnace{H3564} of affliction.{H6040}

For mine own sake, for mine own sake, will I do{H6213} it; for how should [my name] be profaned?{H2490} and my glory{H3519} will I not give{H5414} to another.{H312}

Hearken{H8085} unto me, O Jacob,{H3290} and Israel{H3478} my called:{H7121} I am he; I am the first,{H7223} I also am the last.{H314}

Yea, my hand{H3027} hath laid the foundation{H3245} of the earth,{H776} and my right hand{H3225} hath spread{H2946} out the heavens:{H8064} when I call{H7121} unto them, they stand up{H5975} together.{H3162}

Assemble{H6908} yourselves, all ye, and hear;{H8085} who among them hath declared{H5046} these things? He whom Jehovah{H3068} loveth{H157} shall perform{H6213} his pleasure{H2656} on Babylon,{H894} and his arm{H2220} [shall be on] the Chaldeans.{H3778}

I, even I, have spoken;{H1696} yea, I have called{H7121} him; I have brought{H935} him, and he shall make his way{H1870} prosperous.{H6743}

Come{H7126} ye near{H7126} unto me, hear{H8085} ye this; from the beginning{H7218} I have not spoken{H1696} in secret;{H5643} from the time{H6256} that it was, there am I: and now the Lord{H136} Jehovah{H3069} hath sent{H7971} me, and his Spirit.{H7307}

Thus saith{H559} Jehovah,{H3068} thy Redeemer,{H1350} the Holy One{H6918} of Israel:{H3478} I am Jehovah{H3068} thy God,{H430} who teacheth{H3925} thee to profit,{H3276} who leadeth{H1869} thee by the way{H1870} that thou shouldest go.{H3212}

Oh that{H3863} thou hadst hearkened{H7181} to my commandments!{H4687} then had thy peace{H7965} been as a river,{H5104} and thy righteousness{H6666} as the waves{H1530} of the sea:{H3220}

thy seed{H2233} also had been as the sand,{H2344} and the offspring{H6631} of thy bowels{H4578} like the grains{H4579} thereof: his name{H8034} would not be cut off{H3772} nor destroyed{H8045} from before{H6440} me.

Go ye forth{H3318} from Babylon,{H894} flee{H1272} ye from the Chaldeans;{H3778} with a voice{H6963} of singing{H7440} declare{H5046} ye, tell{H8085} this, utter{H3318} it even to the end{H7097} of the earth:{H776} say{H559} ye, Jehovah{H3068} hath redeemed{H1350} his servant{H5650} Jacob.{H3290}

And they thirsted{H6770} not when he led{H3212} them through the deserts;{H2723} he caused the waters{H4325} to flow{H5140} out of the rock{H6697} for them; he clave{H1234} the rock{H6697} also, and the waters{H4325} gushed out.{H2100}

There is no peace,{H7965} saith{H559} Jehovah,{H3068} to the wicked.{H7563}
