HearH8085 you this,H2063 O houseH1004 of Jacob,H3290 which are calledH7121 by the nameH8034 of Israel,H3478 and are comeH3318 forthH3318 out of the watersH4325 of Judah,H3063 which swearH7650 by the nameH8034 of the LORD,H3068 and make mentionH2142 of the GodH430 of Israel,H3478 but not in truth,H571 norH3808 in righteousness.H6666
2
For they callH7121 themselves of the holyH6944 city,H5892 and stayH5564 themselves on the GodH430 of Israel;H3478 The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is his name.H8034
3
I have declaredH5046 the formerH7223 things from the beginning;H227 and they wentH3318 forthH3318 out of my mouth,H6310 and I showedH8085 them; I didH6213 them suddenly,H6597 and they cameH935 to pass.
4
Because I knewH1847 that you are obstinate,H7186 and your neckH6203 is an ironH1270 sinew,H1517 and your browH4696 brass;H5154
5
I have even from the beginningH227 declaredH5046 it to you; beforeH2962 it cameH935 to pass I showedH8085 it you: lestH6435 you should say,H559 My idolH6090 has doneH6213 them, and my gravenH6459 image, and my moltenH5262 image, has commandedH6680 them.
6
You have heard,H8085 seeH2372 allH3605 this; and will not you declareH5046 it? I have showedH8085 you newH2319 things from this time,H6258 even hiddenH5341 things, and you did not knowH3045 them.
7
They are createdH1254 now,H6258 and not from the beginning;H227 even beforeH6440 the dayH3117 when you heardH8085 them not; lestH6435 you should say,H559 Behold,H2009 I knewH3045 them.
8
Yes,H1571 you heardH8085 not; yes,H1571 you knewH3045 not; yes,H1571 from that timeH227 that your earH241 was not opened:H6605 for I knewH3045 that you would deal veryH898 treacherously,H898 and were calledH7121 a transgressorH6586 from the womb.H990
9
For my name'sH8034 sakeH4616 will I deferH748 my anger,H639 and for my praiseH8416 will I refrainH2413 for you, that I cutH3772 you not off.
10
Behold,H2009 I have refinedH6884 you, but not with silver;H3701 I have chosenH977 you in the furnaceH3564 of affliction.H6040
11
For my own sake,H4616 even for my own sake,H4616 will I doH6213 it: for howH349 should my name be polluted?H2490 and I will not giveH5414 my gloryH3519 to another.H312
12
ListenH8085 to me, O JacobH3290 and Israel,H3478 my called;H7121 I am he; I am the first,H7223 I alsoH637 am the last.H314
13
My handH3027 alsoH637 has laid the foundationH3245 of the earth,H776 and my rightH3225 handH3225 has spannedH2946 the heavens:H8064 when I callH7121 to them, they standH5975 up together.H3162
14
AllH3605 you, assembleH6908 yourselves, and hear;H8085 whichH4310 among them has declaredH5046 theseH428 things? The LORDH3068 has lovedH157 him: he will doH6213 his pleasureH2656 on Babylon,H894 and his armH2220 shall be on the Chaldeans.H3778
15
I, even I, have spoken;H1696 yes,H637 I have calledH7121 him: I have broughtH935 him, and he shall make his wayH1870 prosperous.H6743
16
ComeH7126 you nearH7126 to me, hearH8085 you this;H2063 I have not spokenH1696 in secretH5643 from the beginning;H7218 from the timeH6256 that it was, thereH8033 am I: and nowH6258 the LordH136 GOD,H3069 and his Spirit,H7307 has sentH7971 me.
17
ThusH3541 saidH559 the LORD,H3068 your Redeemer,H1350 the HolyH6918 One of Israel;H3478 I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430 which teachesH3925 you to profit,H3276 which leadsH1869 you by the wayH1870 that you should go.H3212
18
O that you had listenedH7181 to my commandments!H4687 then had your peaceH7965 beenH1961 as a river,H5104 and your righteousnessH6666 as the wavesH1530 of the sea:H3220
19
Your seedH2233 also had beenH1961 as the sand,H2344 and the offspringH6631 of your bowelsH4578 like the gravelH4579 thereof; his nameH8034 should not have been cutH3772 off norH3808 destroyedH8045 from beforeH6440 me.
20
GoH3318 you forthH3318 of Babylon,H894 fleeH1272 you from the Chaldeans,H3778 with a voiceH6963 of singingH7440 declareH5046 you, tellH8085 this,H2063 utterH3318 it even to the endH7097 of the earth;H776 sayH559 you, The LORDH3068 has redeemedH1350 his servantH5650 Jacob.H3290
21
And they thirstedH6770 not when he ledH3212 them through the deserts:H2723 he caused the watersH4325 to flowH5140 out of the rockH6697 for them: he splitH1234 the rockH6697 also, and the watersH4325 gushedH2100 out.
22
There is noH369 peace,H7965 saidH559 the LORD,H3068 to the wicked.H7563
