Who stirred
up from the east a
righteous
one?
He
calleth
him to His foot, He
giveth

He
causeth

rule ,
He giveth
`
them '
as dust `
to '
his sword, As driven stubble `
to '
his bow.

as driven stubble to his bow.

them, he passeth
over
in
safety
A
path
with his feet he
entereth
not
.

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 !

whom I have chosen, Seed of Abraham ,
My lover,
But
thou, Israel, art
my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the
seed 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.
Thou
whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from
the
chief
men
thereof
, and said
unto
thee, Thou art my
servant;
I have chosen thee, and not cast
thee away
.

thee
I `
am ',

strengthened
thee ,
Yea, I have
helped
thee ,
yea, I upheld
thee ,
With the right hand of My righteousness.

thou
not ;

, all those
displeased
with
thee,
They are
ashamed and blush,
They are
as nothing ,
yea,
perish
Do
the
men
who
strive with thee.

, all they that
were
incensed
against
thee
shall
be

be
as nothing ;

them, and findest
them
not, The
men
who
debate
with thee ,

as nothing, yea,
as nothing,

men
who
war
with
thee
.

seek
them, and shalt
not find

I see
that

word :

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 .

their works ,
Wind
and
emptiness
their molten images !'
Behold
, they
are all
vanity ;
their works are
nothing:
their molten images are
