Berean Standard Bible
And
now ,
hear
, O Jacob ,
My servant, And
Israel, whom I have fixed
on:
But
now listen
, O Jacob My servant, Israel, whom I have chosen.
Thus
said
Jehovah
, thy
Maker, and
thy
Former,
From the womb He
doth
help thee;
Fear
not, my servant Jacob
, And
Jeshurun, whom I have fixed
on
.
This
is
the
word
of
the
LORD
, your
Maker, who
formed
you
from the womb and
who
will
help you:
“Do
not be
afraid
, O
Jacob
My servant, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen
.
For I pour waters
on a
thirsty one
, And floods
on a
dry land,
I pour My Spirit on thy
seed
, And My blessing on thine
offspring.
For I will
pour water
on the
thirsty land
, and currents
on the
dry ground.
I will
pour out
My Spirit on your
descendants
, and My blessing on your
offspring.
And
they have
sprung
up
as
among grass ,
As
willows by streams of
water
.
They will
sprout
among the
grass like
willows by flowing
streams.
This
`
one '
saith
, For
Jehovah
I `am'
, And
this
calleth
`
himself '
by the name of Jacob, And this
`one'
writeth
`with'
his hand, `For
Jehovah
, '
and by
the name of Israel surnameth
himself
.
One will
say
, ‘
I belong
to
the
LORD
, ’
another
will
call
himself by the name of Jacob, and still
another
will
write
on
his hand, ‘The
LORD’s
, ’
and will
take
the name of Israel. ”
Thus said
Jehovah
, king of
Israel,
And his
Redeemer, Jehovah
of Hosts: `
I `
am '
the first ,
and I the last, And besides
Me
there is no God.
Thus says
the
LORD
, the
King and Redeemer of
Israel
, the
LORD
of Hosts: “
I am the first and I am
the last, and there is no God but
Me
.
And
who as
I,
doth
call
and
declare it,
And
arrange
it
for
Me, Since My
placing
the
people of
antiquity,
And
things that
are
coming,
And
those
that
do
come, declare
they
to them?
Who then
is
like
Me?
Let
him
say
so!
Let
him
declare his
case
before
Me, since I
established
an
ancient
people .
Let
him
foretell
the
things to
come, and
what
is
to take
place.
Fear
not ,
nor
be
afraid,
Have I not from
that
time
caused
thee
to
hear,
and declared? And
ye
`
are '
My witnesses ,
Is there a
God besides
Me? yea,
there is none,
A
Rock I have
not known
.
Do
not 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
. ”
Framers
of
a
graven
image
`are'
all of them
emptiness
, And their
desirable
things do
not
profit,
And
their
own
witnesses
they `
are ',
They
see not,
nor
know
, that
they may
be
ashamed
.
All makers
of idols
are
nothing
, and the
things they treasure
are worthless.
Their
witnesses
fail
to
see or
comprehend
, so
they are
put
to
shame
.
Who hath
formed
a god ,
And
a
molten
image
poured
out
--
not
profitable
?
Who fashions
a god or
casts
an
idol
which
profits
him
nothing
?
Lo
, all his companions are
ashamed,
As
to artizans
--
they
`are'
of
men
, All
of
them gather
together,
they
stand up,
They
fear,
they are
ashamed
together
.
Behold
, all his companions will
be
put
to shame
, for
the
craftsmen
themselves
are
only
human.
Let
them all
assemble
and
take
their
stand ;
they will
all
be
brought
to
terror
and
shame
.
He
hath
wrought
iron
`with'
an
axe,
And hath
wrought
with
coals ,
And
with hammers doth
form
it,
And doth
work
it by
his powerful
arm,
Yea,
he is
hungry ,
and there
is
no
power,
He doth
not
drink water ,
and he
is
wearied
.
The
blacksmith
takes
a
tool
and labors
over
the
coals ;
he
fashions
an
idol
with hammers and forges
it with
his strong
arms.
Yet
he grows
hungry and loses
his
strength;
he fails
to
drink water and grows
faint
.
He
hath
wrought
`with'
wood,
He
hath
stretched
out
a rule,
He doth
mark
it out with a line,
He maketh
it with carving
tools,
And with a compass he marketh
it
out,
And
maketh
it according
to
the form
of a
man, According
to
the
beauty
of
a
man, To
remain
in the
house
.
The
woodworker
extends
a measuring
line;
he marks
it out with a stylus;
he shapes
it with chisels
and outlines
it
with a compass .
He fashions
it in
the likeness
of man, like
man in
all
his
glory
, that
it
may
dwell
in a
shrine
.
Cutting
down to
himself
cedars ,
He
taketh
also
a cypress ,
and
an
oak ,
And
he strengtheneth
`
it '
for
himself
Among the trees of a
forest ,
He hath
planted
an
ash
, and the shower
doth
nourish
`
it '
.
He
cuts
down cedars or
retrieves
a cypress or
oak .
He lets
it grow
strong
among the trees of the
forest .
He plants
a
laurel
, and the rain
makes
it grow
.
And
it hath
been
for man to
burn,
And
he taketh
of them,
and
becometh
warm,
Yea,
he
kindleth
`
it '
, and hath
baked
bread,
Yea,
he maketh
a god,
and boweth
himself,
He hath
made
it a graven
image,
And he falleth
down to it.
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.
Half of it he
hath
burnt
in the fire, By
`this'
half
of
it
he eateth
flesh,
He roasteth
a
roasting,
and is satisfied ,
Yea
, he is
warm,
and saith:
`Aha
, I have
become
warm ,
I have
enjoyed
the light
.
He
burns
half of it in the fire, and
he roasts
meat
on
that
half.
He eats
the
roast
and is satisfied .
Indeed
, he warms
himself
and says
, “Ah!
I am
warm ;
I see
the fire
. ”
And
its
remnant
for
a god he
hath
made
--
For
his graven image ,
He falleth
down to it ,
and worshippeth,
And
prayeth
unto
it ,
and he
saith
, `Deliver
me, for my god thou
`art'
. '
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. ”
They have
not
known,
nor
do they
understand
, For He hath
daubed
their eyes from
seeing,
Their heart
from
acting
wisely
.
They do not
comprehend
or
discern
, for He has
shut
their eyes so
they
cannot
see
and
closed
their minds
so
they
cannot
understand
.
And none
doth
turn
`it'
back
unto
his heart, Nor
hath
knowledge nor
understanding
to say, `
Half of it I
have
burned
in the fire, Yea,
also,
I have
baked bread over
its coals ,
I roast
flesh
and I eat,
And
its
remnant
for
an
abomination
I make ,
To
the stock
of a
tree
I fall
down .'
And no
one
considers
in
his heart, no
one
has
the
knowledge or
insight
to say, “I
burned
half of it in the fire, and
I baked bread on
its coals ;
I roasted
meat
and I ate.
Shall
I make something
detestable
with
the rest
of it?
Shall
I bow
down to
a
block
of
wood?”
Feeding
on ashes ,
the
heart is
deceived,
It
hath
turned
him aside
, And he delivereth
not
his
soul
, nor
saith:
`
Is there
not a
lie
in my right hand? '
He
feeds
on ashes .
His
deluded
heart has
led
him astray
, and he cannot
deliver
himself
or
say
, “
Is not this
thing
in my right hand a
lie
? ”
Remember these, O Jacob, and
Israel,
For My servant thou
`art'
, I formed
thee
, a
servant to
Me
thou
`art',
O Israel, thou
dost
not
forget Me
.
Remember these things
, O Jacob, for you
are
My servant, O
Israel.
I have
made
you
, and
you
are
My
servant ;
O Israel, I
will
never
forget you
.
I have blotted out ,
as
`by'
a thick
cloud, Thy
transgressions,
And as
`by'
a
cloud
thy
sins ,
Return unto
Me, for I have redeemed thee
.
I have blotted out your
transgressions
like
a cloud, and your
sins like
a
mist.
Return to
Me, for I have redeemed you
.
Sing, O heavens, for Jehovah
hath
wrought,
Shout, O lower
parts
of earth ,
Break forth, O mountains, with
singing,
Forest,
and every
tree
in
it,
For Jehovah
hath
redeemed Jacob, And in Israel He
doth
beautify
Himself
.
Sing for
joy
, O heavens, for the
LORD
has
done
this;
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.
Thus said
Jehovah
, thy
redeemer ,
And
thy
framer
from the womb: `
I `
am '
Jehovah
, doing
all things, Stretching
out the heavens by Myself ,
Spreading
out the earth --
who
`is'
with
Me?
Thus says
the
LORD
, your
Redeemer who
formed
you
from the womb: “
I am the
LORD
, who
has
made
all things, who
alone
stretched
out the heavens ,
who
by Myself spread
out the earth ,
Making
void
the tokens
of devisers,
And diviners it
maketh
mad
, Turning
the wise backward,
And their knowledge it
maketh
foolish.
who
foils
the signs
of false
prophets
and makes
fools
of
diviners, who
confounds
the wise and turns
their knowledge into
nonsense,
Confirming
the word
of His servant ,
The counsel of His messengers it
perfecteth
, Who is
saying
of Jerusalem, She is
inhabited, And of cities of Judah, They shall
be built
, and her
wastes
I raise
up
,
who
confirms
the message
of His servant and
fulfills
the counsel of His messengers, who says
of Jerusalem, ‘
She will
be
inhabited, ’
and of the
cities of Judah, ‘
They will
be rebuilt
, and I will
restore
their
ruins
, ’
Who is
saying
to the deep
, Be dry, and thy
rivers
I cause
to
dry up,
who says
to the depths
of
the
sea
, ‘
Be dry, and I will
dry up your
currents
, ’
Who is
saying
of Cyrus, My shepherd ,
And
all my
delight
He
doth
perfect
, So
as
to
say
of Jerusalem, Thou
art
built
, And of the temple, Thou
art
founded
.
who says
of Cyrus, ‘
My shepherd will
fulfill
all that
I
desire
, ’
who
says
of Jerusalem, ‘She
will
be
rebuilt
, ’
and of the temple, ‘Let
its
foundation
be
laid
. ’”
