1 Hearken 8085 to me, ye that follow after 7291 righteousness 6664, ye that seek 1245 the LORD 3068: look 5027 unto the rock 6697 whence ye are hewn 2672, and to the hole 4718 of the pit 953 whence ye are digged 5365.
2 Look 5027 unto Abraham 85 your father 1, and unto Sarah 8283 that bare 2342 you: for I called 7121 him alone 259, and blessed 1288 him, and increased 7235 him.
3 For the LORD 3068 shall comfort 5162 Zion 6726: he will comfort 5162 all her waste places 2723; and he will make 7760 her wilderness 4057 like Eden 5731, and her desert 6160 like the garden 1588 of the LORD 3068; joy 8342 and gladness 8057 shall be found 4672 therein, thanksgiving 8426, and the voice 6963 of melody 2172.
4 Hearken 7181 unto me, my people 5971; and give ear 238 unto me, O my nation 3816: for a law 8451 shall proceed 3318 from me, and I will make my judgment 4941 to rest 7280 for a light 216 of the people 5971.
5 My righteousness 6664 is near 7138; my salvation 3468 is gone forth 3318, and mine arms 2220 shall judge 8199 the people 5971; the isles 339 shall wait 6960 upon me, and on mine arm 2220 shall they trust 3176.
6 Lift up 5375 your eyes 5869 to the heavens 8064, and look 5027 upon the earth 776 beneath: for the heavens 8064 shall vanish away 4414 like smoke 6227, and the earth 776 shall wax old 1086 like a garment 899, and they that dwell 3427 therein shall die 4191 in like 3644 manner 3654: but my salvation 3444 shall be for ever 5769, and my righteousness 6666 shall not be abolished 2865.
7 Hearken 8085 unto me, ye that know 3045 righteousness 6664, the people 5971 in whose heart 3820 is my law 8451; fear 3372 ye not the reproach 2781 of men 582, neither be ye afraid 2865 of their revilings 1421.
8 For the moth 6211 shall eat them up 398 like a garment 899, and the worm 5580 shall eat 398 them like wool 6785: but my righteousness 6666 shall be for ever 5769, and my salvation 3444 from generation 1755 to generation 1755.
9 Awake 5782, awake 5782, put on 3847 strength 5797, O arm 2220 of the LORD 3068; awake 5782, as in the ancient 6924 days 3117, in the generations 1755 of old 5769. Art thou not it that hath cut 2672 Rahab 7294, and wounded 2490 the dragon 8577?
10 Art thou not it which hath dried 2717 the sea 3220, the waters 4325 of the great 7227 deep 8415; that hath made 7760 the depths 4615 of the sea 3220 a way 1870 for the ransomed 1350 to pass over 5674?
11 Therefore the redeemed 6299 of the LORD 3068 shall return 7725, and come 935 with singing 7440 unto Zion 6726; and everlasting 5769 joy 8057 shall be upon their head 7218: they shall obtain 5381 gladness 8342 and joy 8057; and sorrow 3015 and mourning 585 shall flee away 5127.
12 I, even I, am he that comforteth 5162 you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid 3372 of a man 582 that shall die 4191, and of the son 1121 of man 120 which shall be made 5414 as grass 2682;
13 And forgettest 7911 the LORD 3068 thy maker 6213, that hath stretched forth 5186 the heavens 8064, and laid the foundations 3245 of the earth 776; and hast feared 6342 continually 8548 every day 3117 because 6440 of the fury 2534 of the oppressor 6693, as if 834 he were ready 3559 to destroy 7843? and where is the fury 2534 of the oppressor 6693?
14 The captive exile 6808 hasteneth 4116 that he may be loosed 6605, and that he should not die 4191 in the pit 7845, nor that his bread 3899 should fail 2637.
15 But I am the LORD 3068 thy God 430, that divided 7280 the sea 3220, whose waves 1530 roared 1993: The LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 is his name 8034.
16 And I have put 7760 my words 1697 in thy mouth 6310, and I have covered 3680 thee in the shadow 6738 of mine hand 3027, that I may plant 5193 the heavens 8064, and lay the foundations 3245 of the earth 776, and say 559 unto Zion 6726, Thou art my people 5971.
17 Awake 5782, awake 5782, stand up 6965, O Jerusalem 3389, which hast drunk 8354 at the hand 3027 of the LORD 3068 the cup 3563 of his fury 2534; thou hast drunken 8354 the dregs 6907 of the cup 3563 of trembling 8653, and wrung them out 4680.
18 There is none to guide 5095 her among all the sons 1121 whom she hath brought forth 3205; neither is there any that taketh 2388 her by the hand 3027 of all the sons 1121 that she hath brought up 1431.
19 These two 8147 things are come 7122 unto thee; who shall be sorry 5110 for thee? desolation 7701, and destruction 7667, and the famine 7458, and the sword 2719: by whom shall I comfort 5162 thee?
20 Thy sons 1121 have fainted 5968, they lie 7901 at the head 7218 of all the streets 2351, as a wild bull 8377 in a net 4364: they are full 4392 of the fury 2534 of the LORD 3068, the rebuke 1606 of thy God 430.
21 Therefore hear 8085 now this, thou afflicted 6041, and drunken 7937, but not with wine 3196:
22 Thus saith 559 thy Lord 113 the LORD 3068, and thy God 430 that pleadeth 7378 the cause of his people 5971, Behold, I have taken out 3947 of thine hand 3027 the cup 3563 of trembling 8653, even the dregs 6907 of the cup 3563 of my fury 2534; thou shalt no more 3254 drink it again 8354:
23 But I will put 7760 it into the hand 3027 of them that afflict 3013 thee; which have said 559 to thy soul 5315, Bow down 7812, that we may go over 5674: and thou hast laid 7760 thy body 1460 as the ground 776, and as the street 2351, to them that went over 5674.
