forever.’ You did not take these things to heart or consider their outcome.

that thou art
obstinate, and thy neck is an iron
sinew, and thy
brow brass;

idol hath done them, and my
graven image, and my
molten image, hath commanded them.

that are in darkness,

yourselves.’ They will feed along the pathways, and find pasture on every barren hill.

thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun
smite them: for he

compassion on them will guide them and lead them beside springs of water.
Thy children shall make
haste; thy destroyers and they
that made thee waste shall go forth of thee.
Your builders
hasten back; your destroyers and wreckers depart from you.
For thy waste and thy
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.
For your ruined and
desolate places and your
ravaged land will now indeed be too small for your people, and those who
devoured you will be far away.
The children which thou shalt have, after thou hast lost the other, shall say again in thine ears, The place is too strait for me: give place to me that I may dwell.

drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know
that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy
Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.

drunk on their own blood, as with wine. Then all mankind will know
that I, the LORD, am your
Savior and your
Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”
Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand
shortened at all,
that it cannot
redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my
rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinketh, because there is no water, and dieth for
thirst.
Why was no one there when I arrived? Why did no one answer when I called? Is My hand too short to
redeem you? Or do I lack the strength to deliver you? Behold, My
rebuke dries up the sea; I turn the rivers into a desert; the fish
rot for lack of water and die of
thirst.

that is

discipleship, to
sustain the
weary with a word. He awakens Me morning by morning; He awakens My ear to
listen as a disciple.
I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them
that plucked off the hair: I
hid not my face from shame and
spitting.
I offered My back to those who struck Me, and My cheeks to those who
tore out My
beard. I did not hide My face from
scorn and
spittle.
For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know
that I shall not be
ashamed.
Because the Lord GOD helps Me, I have not been disgraced; therefore I have set My face like flint, and I know that I will not be put to shame.
He is near
that justifieth me; who will
contend with me? let us stand together: who is mine
adversary? let him come near to me.

dare to
contend with Me? Let us
confront each other! Who has a case against Me? Let him approach Me!
Behold, the Lord GOD will help me; who is he
that shall
condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the
moth shall eat them up.

condemn Me? See, they will all wear out like a garment; the
moths will
devour them.

that follow after righteousness, ye
that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are

quarry from which you were
hewn.

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.

that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.

scorn of men; do not be broken by their insults.

Rahab, and wounded the
dragon?

Rahab to pieces, who pierced through the
dragon?

mortal man, of a son of man who
withers like grass?

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?

fury of the
oppressor who is bent on destruction. But where is the
fury of the
oppressor?

captive exile hasteneth
that he may be loosed, and

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.
But I will put it into the hand of them
that afflict thee; which have said to thy soul, Bow down,
that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street, to them
that went over.
I will place it in the hands of your tormentors, who told you: ‘Lie down, so we can walk over you,’ so that you made your back like the ground, like a street to be traversed.”
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.
Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in
that day
that I am he
that doth speak: behold, it is I.
Therefore My people will know My name; therefore they will know on that day that I am He who speaks. Here I am!”

As many were
astonied at thee; his
visage was so
marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:
Just as many were
appalled at Him— His appearance was disfigured beyond
that of any man, and His form was
marred beyond human likeness—
So shall he
sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for
that which had not been told them shall they see; and
that which they had not heard shall they consider.
so He will
sprinkle many nations. Kings will shut their mouths because of Him. For they will see what they have not been told, and they will understand what they have not heard.

comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty
that we should desire him.

iniquities; the punishment
that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are
healed.

that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry
aloud, thou
that didst not
travail with child: for more are the children of the
desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD.

aloud, you who have never
travailed; because more are the children of the
desolate woman than of her who has a husband,” says the LORD.

Noah unto me: for as I have
sworn that the waters of
Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I
sworn that I would not be
wroth with thee, nor
rebuke thee.

Noah, when I
swore that the waters of
Noah would never again cover the earth. So I have
sworn that I will not be

compassion on you.
Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.

craftsman who fans the coals into flame and forges a weapon fit for its task; and I have created the destroyer to
wreak havoc.
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.

prosper, and you will
refute every tongue
that accuses you. This is the
heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their

that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
Why
spend money on
that which is not bread, and your labor on
that which does not satisfy?

that He may have
compassion, and to our God, for He will freely
pardon.

bud,
that it may give seed to the
sower, and bread to the eater:
For just as rain and snow fall from heaven and do not return without watering the earth, making it
bud and
sprout, and providing seed to
sow and food to eat,
So shall my word be
that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall
accomplish that which I please, and it shall
prosper in the thing

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.”
Blessed is the man
that doeth this, and the son of man
that layeth hold on it;

that of sons and daughters. I will give them an
everlasting name
that will not be cut off.
Also the sons of the stranger,
that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one
that keepeth the sabbath from
polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;
And the foreigners who join themselves to the LORD to minister to Him, to love the name of the LORD, and to be His servants— all who keep the Sabbath without
profaning it and who hold fast to My covenant—
The Lord GOD which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.
Thus declares the Lord GOD, who gathers the
