1 Hear 8085 ye this, O house 1004 of Jacob 3290, which are called 7121 by the name 8034 of Israel 3478, and are come forth 3318 out of the waters 4325 of Judah 3063, which swear 7650 by the name 8034 of the LORD 3068, and make mention 2142 of the God 430 of Israel 3478, but not in truth 571, nor in righteousness 6666.
2 For they call 7121 themselves of the holy 6944 city 5892, and stay 5564 themselves upon the God 430 of Israel 3478; The LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 is his name 8034.
3 I have declared 5046 the former things 7223 from the beginning 227; and they went forth 3318 out of my mouth 6310, and I shewed 8085 them; I did 6213 them suddenly 6597, and they came to pass 935.
4 Because I knew 1847 that thou art obstinate 7186, and thy neck 6203 is an iron 1270 sinew 1517, and thy brow 4696 brass 5154;
5 I have even from the beginning 227 declared 5046 it to thee; before it came to pass 935 I shewed 8085 it thee: lest thou shouldest say 559, Mine idol 6090 hath done 6213 them, and my graven image 6459, and my molten image 5262, hath commanded 6680 them.
6 Thou hast heard 8085, see 2372 all this; and will not ye declare 5046 it? I have shewed 8085 thee new things 2319 from this time 6258, even hidden things 5341, and thou didst not know 3045 them.
7 They are created 1254 now, and not from the beginning; even before 6440 the day 3117 when thou heardest 8085 them not; lest thou shouldest say 559, Behold, I knew 3045 them.
8 Yea, thou heardest 8085 not; yea, thou knewest 3045 not; yea, from that time that thine ear 241 was not opened 6605: for I knew 3045 that thou wouldest deal very 898 treacherously 898, and wast called 7121 a transgressor 6586 from the womb 990.
9 For my name's 8034 sake will I defer 748 mine anger 639, and for my praise 8416 will I refrain 2413 for thee, that I cut thee not off 3772.
10 Behold, I have refined 6884 thee, but not with silver 3701; I have chosen 977 thee in the furnace 3564 of affliction 6040.
11 For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do 6213 it: for how should my name be polluted 2490? and I will not give 5414 my glory 3519 unto another 312.
12 Hearken 8085 unto me, O Jacob 3290 and Israel 3478, my called 7121; I am he; I am the first 7223, I also am the last 314.
13 Mine hand 3027 also hath laid the foundation 3245 of the earth 776, and my right hand 3225 hath spanned 2946 the heavens 8064: when I call 7121 unto them, they stand up 5975 together 3162.
14 All ye, assemble 6908 yourselves, and hear 8085; which among them hath declared 5046 these things? The LORD 3068 hath loved 157 him: he will do 6213 his pleasure 2656 on Babylon 894, and his arm 2220 shall be on the Chaldeans 3778.
15 I, even I, have spoken 1696; yea, I have called 7121 him: I have brought 935 him, and he shall make his way 1870 prosperous 6743.
16 Come 7126 ye near 7126 unto me, hear 8085 ye this; I have not spoken 1696 in secret 5643 from the beginning 7218; from the time 6256 that it was, there am I: and now the Lord 136 GOD 3069, and his Spirit 7307, hath sent 7971 me.
17 Thus saith 559 the LORD 3068, thy Redeemer 1350, the Holy One 6918 of Israel 3478; I am the LORD 3068 thy God 430 which teacheth 3925 thee to profit 3276, which leadeth 1869 thee by the way 1870 that thou shouldest go 3212.
18 O that 3863 thou hadst hearkened 7181 to my commandments 4687! then had thy peace 7965 been as a river 5104, and thy righteousness 6666 as the waves 1530 of the sea 3220:
19 Thy seed 2233 also had been as the sand 2344, and the offspring 6631 of thy bowels 4578 like the gravel 4579 thereof; his name 8034 should not have been cut off 3772 nor destroyed 8045 from before 6440 me.
20 Go ye forth 3318 of Babylon 894, flee 1272 ye from the Chaldeans 3778, with a voice 6963 of singing 7440 declare 5046 ye, tell 8085 this, utter 3318 it even to the end 7097 of the earth 776; say 559 ye, The LORD 3068 hath redeemed 1350 his servant 5650 Jacob 3290.
21 And they thirsted 6770 not when he led 3212 them through the deserts 2723: he caused the waters 4325 to flow 5140 out of the rock 6697 for them: he clave 1234 the rock 6697 also, and the waters 4325 gushed out 2100.
22 There is no peace 7965, saith 559 the LORD 3068, unto the wicked 7563.
