For I
beheld, and there was no man;
even among them, and there was no counsellor, that, when I asked of them, could answer a word.
When I look, there is no one; there is no
counselor among them; when I ask them, they have nothing to say.
Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him;

eternity I am He, and none can deliver out of My hand. When I act, who can reverse it?”

redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships.

rejoice.

Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are
even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me?

tremble or fear. Have I not told you and declared it long ago? You are My witnesses! Is there any God but Me? There is no other Rock; I know not one.”
Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take thereof, and warm himself;
yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread;
yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a
graven image, and falleth down
thereto.
It serves as fuel for man. He takes some of it to warm himself, and he kindles a fire and bakes his bread; he
even fashions it into a god and worships it; he makes an
idol and bows down to it.
And the residue thereof he maketh a god,
even his
graven image: he falleth down unto it, and worshippeth it, and prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me; for thou art my god.
From the rest he makes a god, his
graven image. He bows down to it and worships; he prays to it and says, “Save me, for you are my god.”

shout, ye lower parts of the earth: break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and
every tree therein: for the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and
glorified himself in Israel.

shout aloud, O depths of the earth. Break forth in song, O mountains, you forests and all your trees. For the LORD has redeemed Jacob, and revealed His glory in Israel.

shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure:
even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid.

shepherd will
fulfill all that I desire,’ who says of Jerusalem, ‘She will be rebuilt,’ and of the temple, ‘Let its foundation be laid.’”

elect, I have
even called thee by thy name: I have
surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.

everlasting salvation: ye shall not be
ashamed nor confounded world without end.
I have
sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me
every knee shall bow,
every tongue shall
swear.
By Myself I have
sworn; truth has gone out from My mouth, a word that will not be
revoked:
Every knee will bow before Me,
every tongue will
swear allegiance.
Surely, shall one say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength:
even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be
ashamed.

rage against Him will come to Him and be put to shame.
And
even to your old age I am he; and
even to
hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear;

sustain you and deliver you.
I was
wroth with my people, I have
polluted mine inheritance, and given them into thine hand: thou
didst shew them no mercy; upon the ancient hast thou very
heavily laid thy yoke.

angry with My people; I
profaned My
heritage, and I placed them under your control. You showed them no mercy;
even on the elderly you laid a most heavy yoke.
And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for
ever: so that thou
didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither
didst remember the latter end of it.

forever.’ You did not take these things to heart or consider their outcome.
Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured,
even thy merchants, from thy youth: they shall
wander every one to his quarter; none shall save thee.

I have
even from the beginning declared it to thee; before it came to pass I shewed it thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine
idol hath done them, and my
graven image, and my
molten image, hath commanded them.
Therefore I declared it to you long ago; I
announced it before it came to pass, so that you could not claim, ‘My
idol has done this; my carved image and
molten god has ordained it.’
Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare it? I have shewed thee new things from this time,
even hidden things, and thou
didst not know them.
You have heard these things; look at them all. Will you not acknowledge them? From now on I will tell you of new things, hidden things unknown to you.
They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them.
They are created now, and not long ago; you have not heard of them before
today. So you cannot claim, ‘I already knew them!’
For mine own sake,
even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be
polluted? and I will not give my glory unto another.
For My own sake, My very own sake, I will act; for how can I let Myself be
defamed? I will not yield My glory to another.
I,
even I, have spoken;
yea, I have called him: I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.

Go ye forth of Babylon,
flee ye from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it
even to the end of the earth; say ye, The LORD hath redeemed his servant Jacob.

shout of joy,
proclaim it, let it go out to the ends of the earth, saying, “The LORD has redeemed His servant Jacob!”
That thou mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness,
Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places.

yourselves.’ They will feed along the pathways, and find pasture on
every barren hill.
They shall not hunger nor
thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun
smite them: for he that hath mercy on them shall lead them,
even by the springs of water shall he guide them.

thirst, nor will
scorching heat or sun beat down on them. For He who has
compassion on them will guide them and lead them beside springs of water.

desolate places, and the land of thy destruction, shall
even now be too narrow by reason of the inhabitants, and they that
swallowed thee up shall be far away.

ravaged land will now indeed be too small for your people, and those who
devoured you will be far away.

Even the
captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will
contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.
Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall
vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for
ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look at the earth below; for the heavens will
vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment, and its people will die like gnats. But My salvation will last
forever, and My righteousness will never fail.
For the
moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for
ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.

moth will
devour them like a garment, and the worm will eat them like wool. But My righteousness will last
forever, My salvation through all generations.”
Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto
Zion; and
everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain
gladness and joy; and sorrow and
mourning shall
flee away.
I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass;
“I,
even I, am He who comforts you. Why should you be afraid of
mortal man, of a son of man who
withers like grass?
And forgettest the LORD thy maker, that hath stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and hast feared continually
every day because of the
fury of the
oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy? and where is the
fury of the
oppressor?
But you have forgotten the LORD, your Maker, who stretched out the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth. You live in terror all day long because of the
fury of the
oppressor who is bent on destruction. But where is the
fury of the
oppressor?
Thy sons have
fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as a wild bull in a net: they are full of the
fury of the LORD, the
rebuke of thy God.

fainted; they lie at the head of
every street, like an
antelope in a net. They are full of the wrath of the LORD, the
rebuke of your God.
Thus saith thy Lord the LORD, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thine hand the cup of
trembling,
even the
dregs of the cup of my
fury; thou shalt no more drink it again:
Thus says your Lord, the LORD,
even your God, who defends His people: “See, I have removed from your hand the cup of
staggering. From that
goblet, the cup of My
fury, you will never drink again.
Now therefore, what have I here, saith the LORD, that my people is taken away for
nought? they that rule over them make them to
howl, saith the LORD; and my name continually
every day is
blasphemed.
And now what have I here? declares the LORD. For My people have been taken without cause; those who rule them
taunt, declares the LORD, and My name is
blasphemed continually all day long.
Thy
watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD shall bring again
Zion.

watchmen lift up their voices, together they
shout for joy. For

Zion.

astray; we have turned
every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

hid my face from thee for a moment; but with
everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy
Redeemer.
No weapon that is formed against thee shall
prosper; and
every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt
condemn. This is the
heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.
No weapon formed against you shall
prosper, and you will
refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the
heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their
vindication is from Me,” declares the LORD.

every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye,
buy, and eat;

buy, and eat! Come,
buy wine and milk without money and without cost!

everlasting covenant— My loving devotion promised to David.
Instead of the
thorn shall come up the
fir tree, and instead of the
brier shall come up the
myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an
everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.
Instead of the thornbush, a
cypress will grow, and instead of the
brier, a
myrtle will spring up; they will make a name for the LORD, an
everlasting sign, never to be destroyed.”

everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.

polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;

profaning it and who hold fast to My covenant—

Yea, they are
greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are
shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way,
every one for his gain, from his quarter.
Like
ravenous dogs, they are never satisfied. They are
shepherds with no
discernment; they all turn to their own way, each one seeking his own gain:
Enflaming
yourselves with idols under
every green tree,
slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks?
who burn with
lust among the oaks, under
every luxuriant tree, who slaughter your children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?
Among the smooth stones of the stream is thy portion; they, they are thy lot: even to them hast thou poured a drink offering, thou hast offered a meat offering. Should I receive comfort in these?
Your portion is among the smooth stones of the valley; indeed, they are your lot. Even to them you have poured out a drink offering and offered a grain offering. Should I relent because of these?
Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed: even thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice.
On a high and lofty hill you have made your bed, and there you went up to offer sacrifices.
You went to
Molech with oil and multiplied your perfumes. You have sent your envoys a great distance; you have descended
even to
Sheol itself.
And of whom hast thou been afraid or feared, that thou hast
lied, and hast not remembered me, nor laid it to thy heart? have not I held my peace
even of old, and thou fearest me not?
Whom have you
dreaded and feared, so that you
lied and failed to remember Me or take this to heart? Is it not because I have long been silent that you do not fear Me?
And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumblingblock out of the way of my people.
And it will be said, “Build it up, build it up, prepare the way, take
every obstacle out of the way of My people.”
For I will not
contend for
ever, neither will I be always
wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made.
For I will not
accuse you
forever, nor will I always be
angry; for then the spirit of man would grow weak before Me, with the breath of those I have made.
Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to
undo the heavy burdens, and to let the
oppressed go free, and that ye break
every yoke?

untie the cords of the yoke, to set the
oppressed free and
tear off
every yoke?
As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed’s seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.
“As for Me, this is My covenant with them,” says the LORD. “My Spirit will not depart from you, and My words that I have put in your mouth will not depart from your mouth or from the mouths of your children and grandchildren, from now on and forevermore,” says the LORD.

excellency, a joy of many generations.
The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an
everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.
No longer will the sun be your light by day, nor the brightness of the moon
shine on your night; for the LORD will be your
everlasting light, and your God will be your
splendor.
Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine
everlasting light, and the days of thy
mourning shall be ended.
Your sun will no longer set, and your moon will not
wane; for the LORD will be your
everlasting light, and the days of your sorrow will cease.
Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall
inherit the land for
ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be
glorified.
Then all your people will be righteous; they will possess the land
forever; they are the branch of My planting, the work of My hands, so that I may be
glorified.

rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double:
everlasting joy shall be unto them.
Instead of shame, My people will have a double portion, and instead of
humiliation, they will
rejoice in their share; and so they will
inherit a double portion in their land, and
everlasting joy will be theirs.
For I the LORD love judgment, I
hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an
everlasting covenant with them.

everlasting name?

everlasting renown,
Doubtless thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O LORD, art our father, our
redeemer; thy name is from
everlasting.
Yet You are our Father, though Abraham does not know us and Israel does not acknowledge us. You, O LORD, are our Father; our
Redeemer from
Everlasting is Your name.
Be not
wroth very
sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for
ever: behold, see, we
beseech thee, we are all thy people.
Do not be
angry, O LORD, beyond measure; do not remember our iniquity
forever. Oh, look upon us, we pray; we are all Your people!
Behold, it is written before Me: I will not keep silent, but I will repay; I will pay it back into their laps,
And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
Even before they call, I will answer, and while they are still speaking, I will hear.
For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look,
even to him that is poor and of a
contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.
Has not My hand made all these things? And so they came into being,” declares the LORD. “This is the one I will esteem: he who is humble and
contrite in spirit, who trembles at My word.
But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and
whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.

everyone I send you, you must go, and all that I command you, you must speak.
For, lo, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north, saith the LORD; and they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at the entering of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all the walls thereof round about, and against all the cities of Judah.
For I am about to
summon all the clans and kingdoms of the north,” declares the LORD. “Their kings will come and set up their thrones at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem. They will attack all her surrounding walls and all the other cities of Judah.
Thou therefore
gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I
confound thee before them.
Get
yourself ready. Stand up and tell them
everything that I command you. Do not be
intimidated by them, or I will
terrify you before them.
For pass over the isles of
Chittim, and see; and send unto
Kedar, and consider
diligently, and see if there be such a thing.
Cross over to the coasts of
Cyprus and take a look; send to
Kedar and consider carefully; see if there has
ever been anything like this:
Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which
doth not profit.
Has a nation ever changed its gods, though they are no gods at all? Yet My people have exchanged their Glory for useless idols.
For of old time I have broken thy yoke, and
burst thy bands; and thou saidst, I will not
transgress; when upon
every high hill and under
every green tree thou wanderest, playing the
harlot.
“For long ago you broke your yoke and
tore off your chains, saying, ‘I will not serve!’ Indeed, on
every high hill and under
every green tree you lay down as a
prostitute.
Why trimmest thou thy way to seek love? therefore hast thou also taught the wicked ones thy ways.
How
skillfully you pursue love!
Even the most immoral of women could learn from your ways.
They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man’s, shall he return unto her again? shall not that land be greatly
polluted? but thou hast played the
harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith the LORD.
“If a man divorces his wife and she leaves him to marry another, can he
ever return to her? Would not such a land be completely
defiled? But you have played the
harlot with many lovers— and you would return to Me?” declares the LORD.
Will he reserve his anger for ever? will he keep it to the end? Behold, thou hast spoken and done evil things as thou couldest.
Will He be
angry forever? Will He be
indignant to the end?’ This you have spoken, but you keep doing all the evil you can.”
The LORD said also unto me in the days of
Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that which
backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone up upon
every high mountain and under
every green tree, and there hath played the
harlot.
Now in the days of King
Josiah, the LORD said to me, “Have you seen what faithless Israel has done? She has gone up on
every high hill and under
every green tree to
prostitute herself there.
Go and
proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou
backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am
merciful, saith the LORD, and I will not keep anger for
ever.
Go,
proclaim this message toward the north: ‘Return, O faithless Israel,’ declares the LORD. ‘I will no longer look on you with anger, for I am
merciful,’ declares the LORD. ‘I will not be
angry forever.
Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast
transgressed against the LORD thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under
every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith the LORD.
Only acknowledge your guilt, that you have rebelled against the LORD your God. You have scattered your favors to foreign gods under every green tree and have not obeyed My voice,’” declares the LORD.
We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us: for we have
sinned against the LORD our God, we and our fathers, from our youth
even unto this day, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God.
Let us lie down in our shame; let our disgrace cover us. We have
sinned against the LORD our God, both we and our fathers; from our youth
even to this day we have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God.”
Even a full wind from those places shall come unto me: now also will I give sentence against them.
a wind too strong for that comes from Me. Now I also
pronounce judgments against them.”
The whole city shall
flee for the noise of the
horsemen and
bowmen; they shall go into thickets, and
climb up upon the rocks:
every city shall be
forsaken, and not a man dwell therein.
Every city flees at the sound of the
horseman and archer. They enter the thickets and
climb among the rocks.
Every city is abandoned; no inhabitant is left.
Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall
slay them, and a wolf of the
evenings shall
spoil them, a
leopard shall watch over their cities:
every one that goeth out thence shall be
torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, and their backslidings are increased.
Therefore a lion from the forest will strike them down, a wolf from the desert will
ravage them. A
leopard will lie in wait near their cities, and
everyone who ventures out will be
torn to pieces. For their
rebellious acts are many, and their unfaithful deeds are numerous.
They were as fed horses in the morning:
every one
neighed after his neighbour’s wife.
Nevertheless in those days, saith the LORD, I will not make a full end with you.
“Yet even in those days,” declares the LORD, “I will not make a full end of you.
O ye children of Benjamin, gather
yourselves to
flee out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the
trumpet in Tekoa, and set up a sign of fire in Beth-haccerem: for evil appeareth out of the north, and great destruction.

flee from Jerusalem! Sound the ram’s horn in Tekoa; send up a signal over Beth-haccherem, for
disaster looms from the north,
even great destruction.

shepherds with their flocks shall come unto her; they shall pitch their tents against her round about; they shall feed
every one in his place.
Shepherds and their flocks will come against her; they will pitch their tents all around her, each tending his own portion:
Prepare ye war against her; arise, and let us go up at
noon.
Woe unto us! for the day goeth away, for the shadows of the
evening are stretched out.
‘Prepare for battle against her; rise up, let us attack at
noon.
Woe to us, for the
daylight is
fading; the
evening shadows grow long.
As a fountain casteth out her waters, so she casteth out her wickedness: violence and
spoil is heard in her; before me continually is grief and wounds.
As a well gushes its water, so she pours out her evil. Violence and destruction resound in her; sickness and wounds are ever before Me.
Therefore I am full of the
fury of the LORD; I am
weary with holding in: I will pour it out upon the children abroad, and upon the assembly of young men together: for
even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him that is full of days.
But I am full of the LORD’s wrath; I am
tired of holding it back. “Pour it out on the children in the street, and on the young men gathered together. For both husband and wife will be captured, the old and the very old alike.
For from the least of them
even unto the greatest of them
every one is given to
covetousness; and from the prophet
even unto the priest
every one dealeth falsely.
“For from the least of them to the greatest, all are
greedy for gain; from prophet to priest, all practice
deceit.
Were they
ashamed when they had committed
abomination?
nay, they were not at all
ashamed, neither could they
blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.
Are they
ashamed of the
abomination they have committed? No, they have no shame at all; they do not
even know how to
blush. So they will fall among the fallen; when I
punish them, they will
collapse,” says the LORD.
Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people,
even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not
hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it.
Hear, O earth! I am bringing
disaster on this people, the fruit of their own schemes, because they have paid no attention to My word and have rejected My instruction.
