Young's Literal Translation
“Be
silent before
Me, O islands
, and let
the peoples renew
their
strength.
Let
them
come forward
and
testify;
let
us
together draw near for
judgment
.
Keep
silent towards
Me, O isles
, And the peoples pass
on
`to'
power,
They
come nigh,
then
they
speak,
`
Together --
to
judgment
we
draw near. '
Who has
aroused
one
from the east and
called
him to his feet
in
righteousness
?
He hands
nations
over
to
him and subdues
kings before
him .
He turns
them to
dust with
his sword, to windblown
chaff
with
his bow.
Who stirred
up
from the east a
righteous
one?
He
calleth
him to His foot,
He giveth
before
him nations,
And kings He
causeth
him to
rule,
He giveth
`
them '
as
dust `to'
his sword, As
driven
stubble
`
to '
his bow.
He pursues
them, going
on
safely,
hardly
touching
the
path with his feet.
He pursueth
them, he
passeth
over
in
safety
A
path with his feet he
entereth
not
.
Who has
performed
this
and carried
it
out
, calling forth
the generations from the beginning
? I, the
LORD—
the first and the last —
I am He. ”
Who hath
wrought
and done
, Calling the generations from the first
? I, Jehovah,
the first ,
and with
the last I `
am '
He.
The
islands
see
and fear ;
the
ends of the earth tremble .
They approach
and
come forward
.
Seen
have
isles
and fear ,
ends of the earth tremble ,
They have
drawn
near,
yea,
they
come.
Each one
helps
the
other
and says
to his brother, “
Be strong !”
Each his
neighbour
they
help,
And to his brother he
saith
, `
Be strong .'
The
craftsman
encourages
the
goldsmith,
and he
who
wields
the hammer cheers
him who strikes
the
anvil, saying of
the
welding
, “
It is good .”
He nails
it down
so
it will
not be
toppled.
And strengthen
doth
an
artizan
the refiner,
A
smoother
`with'
a
hammer ,
Him who is
beating
`on'
an
anvil, Saying, `For
joining
it `
is '
good ,'
And
he strengtheneth
it with
nails,
it is
not moved!
“But
you
, O Israel, My servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, descendant
of Abraham My friend—
--
And
thou
, O Israel, My servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, Seed
of Abraham ,
My lover,
I brought
you
from the ends of the earth and called
you
from its farthest
corners.
I said
, ‘You
are
My servant .’
I have chosen and not rejected you
.
Whom
I have
taken
hold
of,
from the ends of the earth ,
And from its near
places
I have
called
thee
, And
I
say
to
thee,
My servant Thou
`art',
I have chosen thee,
and not rejected thee
.
Do
not fear
, for I am with
you;
do
not be
afraid
, for I am your
God .
I will
strengthen
you;
I will
surely
help
you;
I will
uphold
you
with My
right hand of righteousness.
Be
not afraid
, for with
thee
I `
am ',
Look
not around
, for I `
am '
thy
God ,
I have
strengthened
thee,
Yea,
I have
helped
thee,
yea,
I upheld
thee,
With the
right hand of My
righteousness.
Behold
, all who
rage
against
you
will
be
ashamed
and
disgraced;
those who
contend
with you
will
be
reduced
to
nothing
and will
perish.
Lo
, all those displeased
with thee,
They
are
ashamed
and blush,
They
are
as
nothing,
yea,
perish Do
the
men
who
strive
with
thee
.
You
will
seek
them but
will
not
find
them .
Those
who wage
war
against
you
will
come
to
nothing.
Thou
seekest
them ,
and
findest
them not,
The
men
who debate
with
thee,
They
are
as
nothing ,
yea,
as
nothing,
The
men
who
war
with
thee
.
For I am
the
LORD
your
God, who
takes
hold
of
your
right hand and
tells
you:
Do
not
fear, I will
help
you
.
For I ,
Jehovah
thy
God, Am
strengthening
thy
right hand ,
He
who
is
saying
to
thee,
`
Fear not
, I have
helped
thee
. '
Do
not
fear, O worm of
Jacob, O
few
men of Israel .
I will
help
you
, ”
declares
the
LORD.
“Your
Redeemer is
the Holy One of Israel.
Fear not
, O worm Jacob, ye
men of Israel ,
I helped
thee
, an
affirmation
of
Jehovah,
Even
thy
redeemer ,
the Holy One of Israel.
Behold
, I will
make
you
into
a threshing
sledge,
new and
sharp, with
many
teeth .
You
will
thresh
the
mountains and crush
them
, and reduce
the
hills to
chaff.
Lo
, I have
set
thee
for
a new sharp threshing
instrument
, Possessing
teeth ,
thou
threshest
mountains ,
And beatest
small
, and hills as
chaff thou
makest
.
You
will
winnow
them, and a wind will
carry
them away;
a gale
will
scatter
them .
But
you
will
rejoice
in the
LORD;
you
will
glory
in the Holy One of Israel.
Thou
winnowest
them, and a wind lifteth
them up,
And
a whirlwind
scattereth
them ,
And
thou
--
thou
rejoicest
in Jehovah,
In the Holy One of Israel dost
boast
thyself
.
The poor and needy seek
water, but
there is none ;
their tongues
are
parched
with thirst .
I
, the
LORD
, will
answer them ;
I
, the God of Israel ,
will
not
forsake them.
The poor and the
needy are
seeking
water, And
there is none ,
Their tongue
with thirst hath
failed
, I
, Jehovah
do
answer them, The God of Israel --
I
forsake them not
.
I will
open rivers
on the
barren
heights
, and fountains
in the
middle
of the
valleys .
I will
turn
the
desert
into
a pool
of water, and the
dry land into
flowing
springs.
I open on high
places
rivers
, And in midst
of valleys fountains,
I make
a wilderness
become
a
pond
of water, And a
dry land become
springs of
water
.
I will
plant
cedars
in the
wilderness, acacias
, myrtles
, and olive
trees.
I will
set cypresses
in the
desert ,
elms
and boxwood
together ,
I give
in a
wilderness the
cedar
, Shittah
, and
myrtle
, and oil-tree,
I set in a
desert the
fir-pine
and box-wood
together .
so that all
may
see and know, may
consider
and understand
, that
the hand of the
LORD
has
done this and the Holy One of Israel has
created
it. ”
So that they
see ,
and know, And regard
, and
act
wisely
together,
For
the hand of Jehovah
hath
done this ,
And the Holy One of Israel hath
prepared
it.
“Present
your case
, ”
says
the
LORD.

your arguments
, ”

near
your cause
, saith
Jehovah,
Bring
nigh
your mighty
ones
, saith
the king of Jacob.
“Let
them
come
and tell
us what
will
happen .
Tell
the former
things, so
that
we may
reflect
on
them
and know the
outcome.
Or announce
to
us
what
is
coming.
They
bring
nigh,
and declare
to
us that
which
doth
happen ,
The first
things --
what
they
`are'
declare
ye
, And
we set
our
heart,
and know their
latter
end,
Or the
coming things
cause
us
to
hear
.
Tell
us
the things that are to
come
, so
that
we may
know that you
are gods .
Yes
, do something
good or evil, that
we may
look on
together in
dismay
.
Declare
the things that are coming
hereafter
, And
we know that ye
`
are '
gods, Yea,
ye
may
do good or do
evil, And
we look around
and
see
`it'
together.
Behold
, you
are nothing and your work is
of no
value.
Anyone
who
chooses
you is
detestable
.
Lo
, ye
`
are '
of
nothing ,
and your work of nought,
An
abomination
--
it
fixeth
on
you.
I have raised
up one from the north, and he has
come—
one
from the east
who
calls
on
My name .
He will
march
over
rulers
as if
they
were
mortar
, like
a potter who
treads
the
clay
.
I have stirred
up `
one '
from the north, And he cometh,
From the rising
of
the
sun
he
calleth
in
My name ,
And
he cometh
in
`on'
prefects
as `on'
clay
, And
as
a potter treadeth
down
mire
.
Who has
declared this
from the beginning
, so
that
we may
know ,
and from
times
past
, so
that
we may
say :
‘He
was
right’
? No
one
announced
it
, no
one
foretold
it
, no
one
heard
your words
.
Who hath
declared from the first
, and
we know ?
And beforetime
, and
we say ,
`Righteous
? '
yea
, there
is
none
declaring
, Yea,
there
is
none
proclaiming,
Yea,
there
is
none
hearing
your sayings
.
I
was
the
first to tell
Zion :
‘Look
, here
they
are!’
And I
gave
to Jerusalem a
herald
of
good
news.
First to Zion, Behold,
behold
them,
And to Jerusalem one
proclaiming
tidings
I
give,
When
I look,
there is no one;
there is no counselor
among
them;
when
I ask them, they have
nothing
to
say.
And
I see
that
there is no man,
Yea,
of
these
that
there is no counsellor,
And
I ask them, and
they return
word:
See
, they
are
all a
delusion;
their works amount
to
nothing;
their images are
as
empty
as
the
wind.
`Lo
, all of
them
`are'
vanity,
Nought
`are'
their works ,
Wind
and
emptiness
their molten
images !'
