1 Keep silence 2790 before me, O islands 339; and let the people 3816 renew 2498 their strength 3581: let them come near 5066; then let them speak 1696: let us come near 7126 together 3162 to judgment 4941.
2 Who raised up 5782 the righteous 6664 man from the east 4217, called 7121 him to his foot 7272, gave 5414 the nations 1471 before 6440 him, and made him rule 7287 over kings 4428? he gave 5414 them as the dust 6083 to his sword 2719, and as driven 5086 stubble 7179 to his bow 7198.
3 He pursued 7291 them, and passed 5674 safely 7965; even by the way 734 that he had not gone 935 with his feet 7272.
4 Who hath wrought 6466 and done 6213 it, calling 7121 the generations 1755 from the beginning 7218? I the LORD 3068, the first 7223, and with the last 314; I am he.
5 The isles 339 saw 7200 it, and feared 3372; the ends 7098 of the earth 776 were afraid 2729, drew near 7126, and came 857.
6 They helped 5826 every one 376 his neighbour 7453; and every one said 559 to his brother 251, Be of good courage 2388.
7 So the carpenter 2796 encouraged 2388 the goldsmith 6884, and he that smootheth 2505 with the hammer 6360 him that smote 1986 the anvil 6471, saying 559, It is ready 2896 for the sodering 1694: and he fastened 2388 it with nails 4548, that it should not be moved 4131.
8 But thou, Israel 3478, art my servant 5650, Jacob 3290 whom I have chosen 977, the seed 2233 of Abraham 85 my friend 157.
9 Thou whom I have taken 2388 from the ends 7098 of the earth 776, and called 7121 thee from the chief men 678 thereof, and said 559 unto thee, Thou art my servant 5650; I have chosen 977 thee, and not cast thee away 3988.
10 Fear 3372 thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed 8159; for I am thy God 430: I will strengthen 553 thee; yea, I will help 5826 thee; yea, I will uphold 8551 thee with the right hand 3225 of my righteousness 6664.
11 Behold, all they that were incensed 2734 against thee shall be ashamed 954 and confounded 3637: they shall be as nothing; and they 582 that strive 7379 with thee shall perish 6.
12 Thou shalt seek 1245 them, and shalt not find 4672 them, even them 582 that contended 4695 with thee: they that war 4421 against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought 657.
13 For I the LORD 3068 thy God 430 will hold 2388 thy right hand 3225, saying 559 unto thee, Fear 3372 not; I will help 5826 thee.
14 Fear 3372 not, thou worm 8438 Jacob 3290, and ye men 4962 of Israel 3478; I will help 5826 thee, saith 5002 the LORD 3068, and thy redeemer 1350, the Holy One 6918 of Israel 3478.
15 Behold, I will make 7760 thee a new 2319 sharp 2742 threshing 4173 instrument having 1167 teeth 6374: thou shalt thresh 1758 the mountains 2022, and beat them small 1854, and shalt make 7760 the hills 1389 as chaff 4671.
16 Thou shalt fan 2219 them, and the wind 7307 shall carry them away 5375, and the whirlwind 5591 shall scatter 6327 them: and thou shalt rejoice 1523 in the LORD 3068, and shalt glory 1984 in the Holy One 6918 of Israel 3478.
17 When the poor 6041 and needy 34 seek 1245 water 4325, and there is none, and their tongue 3956 faileth 5405 for thirst 6772, I the LORD 3068 will hear 6030 them, I the God 430 of Israel 3478 will not forsake 5800 them.
18 I will open 6605 rivers 5104 in high places 8205, and fountains 4599 in the midst 8432 of the valleys 1237: I will make 7760 the wilderness 4057 a pool 98 of water 4325, and the dry 6723 land 776 springs 4161 of water 4325.
19 I will plant 5414 in the wilderness 4057 the cedar 730, the shittah tree 7848, and the myrtle 1918, and the oil 8081 tree 6086; I will set 7760 in the desert 6160 the fir tree 1265, and the pine 8410, and the box tree 8391 together 3162:
20 That they may see 7200, and know 3045, and consider 7760, and understand 7919 together 3162, that the hand 3027 of the LORD 3068 hath done 6213 this, and the Holy One 6918 of Israel 3478 hath created 1254 it.
21 Produce 7126 your cause 7379, saith 559 the LORD 3068; bring forth 5066 your strong 6110 reasons, saith 559 the King 4428 of Jacob 3290.
22 Let them bring them forth 5066, and shew 5046 us what shall happen 7136: let them shew 5046 the former things 7223, what they be, that we may consider 7760 3820 them, and know 3045 the latter end 319 of them; or declare 8085 us things for to come 935.
23 Shew 5046 the things that are to come 857 hereafter 268, that we may know 3045 that ye are gods 430: yea, do good 3190, or do evil 7489, that we may be dismayed 8159, and behold 7200 it together 3162.
24 Behold, ye are of nothing 369, and your work 6467 of nought 659: an abomination 8441 is he that chooseth 977 you.
25 I have raised up 5782 one from the north 6828, and he shall come 857: from the rising 4217 of the sun 8121 shall he call 7121 upon my name 8034: and he shall come 935 upon princes 5461 as upon morter 2563, and as the potter 3335 treadeth 7429 clay 2916.
26 Who hath declared 5046 from the beginning 7218, that we may know 3045? and beforetime 6440, that we may say 559, He is righteous 6662? yea, there is none that sheweth 5046, yea, there is none that declareth 8085, yea, there is none that heareth 8085 your words 561.
27 The first 7223 shall say to Zion 6726, Behold 2009, behold 2009 them: and I will give 5414 to Jerusalem 3389 one that bringeth good tidings 1319.
28 For I beheld 7200, and there was no man 376; even among them, and there was no counsellor 3289, that, when I asked 7592 of them, could answer 7725 a word 1697.
29 Behold, they are all vanity 205; their works 4639 are nothing 657: their molten images 5262 are wind 7307 and confusion 8414.
