Young's Literal Translation

Berean Standard Bible
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. '
“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
.
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.
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.
He pursueth
them, he
passeth
over
in
safety
A
path with his feet he
entereth
not
.
He pursues
them, going
on
safely,
hardly
touching
the
path with his feet.
Who hath
wrought
and done
, Calling the generations from the first
? I, Jehovah,
the first ,
and with
the last I `
am '
He.
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. ”
Seen
have
isles
and fear ,
ends of the earth tremble ,
They
have
drawn
near,
yea,
they come.
The
islands
see
and fear ;
the
ends of the earth tremble .
They approach
and
come forward
.
Each his
neighbour
they
help,
And to his brother he
saith
, `
Be strong .'
Each one
helps
the
other
and says
to his brother, “
Be strong !”
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!
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
thou
, O Israel, My servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, Seed
of Abraham ,
My lover,
“But
you
, O Israel, My servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, descendant
of Abraham My friend—
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
.
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
.
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.
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.
Lo
, all those
displeased
with
thee,
They
are
ashamed and blush,
They
are
as
nothing,
yea,
perish
Do
the
men
who strive
with thee
.
Behold
, all who
rage
against
you
will
be
ashamed and disgraced;
those
who contend
with you
will
be
reduced
to
nothing
and
will
perish
.
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
.
You
will
seek
them but
will
not find
them.
Those
who wage
war against
you
will
come
to
nothing
.
For I ,
Jehovah
thy
God, Am
strengthening
thy
right hand ,
He
who
is
saying
to
thee,
`Fear
not, I have
helped
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
.
Fear
not, O worm Jacob, ye
men of Israel ,
I helped
thee,
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
, Even
thy
redeemer ,
the Holy One of Israel.
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.
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
.
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.
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
.
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.
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
.
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.
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
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 give
in a
wilderness
the cedar
, Shittah
, and
myrtle
, and oil-tree,
I set in a
desert
the fir-pine
and box-wood
together .
I will
plant
cedars
in the wilderness
, acacias
, myrtles
, and olive
trees.
I will
set cypresses
in the desert,
elms
and boxwood
together ,
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.
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. ”
Bring
near
your cause,
saith
Jehovah
, Bring
nigh
your mighty
ones
, saith
the king of Jacob.
“Present
your case
, ”
says
the
LORD.
“Submit
your arguments
, ”
says
the King of Jacob.
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
.
“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
.
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.
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
.
Lo
, ye
`
are '
of
nothing ,
and your work of nought,
An
abomination
--
it
fixeth
on
you.
Behold
, you
are nothing and your work is
of no
value.
Anyone
who
chooses
you is
detestable
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
First to Zion ,
Behold,
behold
them
, And to Jerusalem one
proclaiming
tidings
I
give,
I
was
the
first to tell
Zion :
‘Look
, here
they
are!’
And I
gave
to Jerusalem a
herald
of
good
news.
And
I see
that
there is no man,
Yea,
of
these
that
there is no counsellor,
And
I ask them, and
they return
word:
When
I look,
there is no one;
there is no counselor
among
them;
when
I ask them, they have
nothing
to
say.
`Lo,
all
of
them
`are'
vanity
, Nought
`
are '
their works ,
Wind
and
emptiness
their molten
images !'
See
, they
are all
a
delusion;
their works amount
to
nothing;
their images are
as
empty
as
the
wind.
