King James Version
And
now ,
hear, O Jacob ,
My servant ,
And Israel, whom I have fixed
on
:
Yet
now hear, O Jacob my servant ;
and 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
.
Thus saith
the
LORD
that
made
thee
, and formed
thee
from the womb ,
which
will
help thee; Fear not, O
Jacob, my
servant;
and thou
, Jesurun,
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
upon
him
that
is
thirsty, and floods upon
the
dry ground:
I will
pour my spirit upon
thy seed, and my blessing upon
thine offspring :
And they have
sprung
up as among grass, As willows by streams
of
water.
And they shall
spring
up as among the
grass, as willows by the
water courses
.
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 shall
say
, I am the
LORD's;
and another
shall
call
himself by the name of Jacob ;
and another
shall
subscribe
with his hand unto
the
LORD
, and surname
himself
by 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 saith
the
LORD
the
King of Israel, and his redeemer the
LORD
of hosts ;
I am the first, and I am
the last ;
and beside
me there is no God.
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 ?
And who ,
as I, shall
call ,
and shall
declare it, and set
it in
order
for me, since I
appointed
the ancient
people ?
and the
things that are coming, and shall
come, let
them shew
unto
them.
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
.
Fear ye
not, neither
be afraid :
have not I
told
thee
from that time, and have
declared it
? ye are even
my witnesses .
Is there a God beside
me? yea, there is no
God;
I know
not any
.
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.
They
that
make
a graven image are all of them vanity;
and their delectable
things shall
not profit ;
and they
are
their own witnesses ;
they see not, nor know ;
that they may be ashamed.
Who hath formed a god, And
a
molten image poured
out
--
not
profitable?
Who hath formed a god, or
molten a
graven
image that
is
profitable for
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 fellows
shall
be
ashamed :
and
the
workmen
, they are of men :
let
them all
be
gathered
together, let
them
stand up ;
yet
they shall
fear, and
they shall
be
ashamed together.
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
smith
with the
tongs
both
worketh
in
the
coals, and fashioneth
it
with hammers, and worketh
it with
the
strength
of
his arms:
yea, he is hungry, and his
strength
faileth:
he drinketh
no
water, and is 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
carpenter
stretcheth
out his
rule ;
he marketh
it out with a line ;
he fitteth
it with planes
, and he marketh it out with
the
compass
, and maketh it after
the figure
of a man, according to the beauty of a man ;
that
it
may
remain in the house.
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
heweth
him
down cedars, and
taketh the
cypress and the
oak, which
he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the
forest :
he planteth
an ash, and the rain
doth nourish it.
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
.
Then
shall
it be
for a
man to burn :
for
he will
take
thereof
, and warm himself;
yea, he kindleth it, and baketh
bread ;
yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth
it;
he maketh
it a graven image, and falleth down thereto
.
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 burneth
part
thereof
in the fire ;
with
part
thereof
he eateth flesh ;
he roasteth roast
, and is satisfied :
yea, he warmeth
himself
, and saith ,
Aha, I am
warm, I have seen
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 '
. '
And the
residue
thereof
he
maketh
a god ,
even
his graven image :
he falleth down unto
it, and worshippeth it
, and prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me ;
for thou art my
god
.
They have not known ,
nor do
they
understand,
For He hath daubed
their eyes from
seeing
, Their heart
from
acting
wisely
.
They have not known nor understood:
for he hath shut
their eyes, that
they
cannot
see;
and
their hearts,
that
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 none considereth
in
his heart, neither
is
there
knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part
of
it
in the fire ;
yea, also I have baked bread upon
the
coals thereof;
I have
roasted
flesh, and eaten
it:
and
shall
I
make
the
residue
thereof
an abomination ?
shall
I fall
down
to the stock of a tree ?
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
feedeth
on ashes :
a
deceived heart
hath turned him aside, that
he cannot
deliver
his soul, nor say,
Is there not a lie in my right hand?
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, O Jacob and Israel ;
for thou art my
servant:
I have
formed thee ;
thou art my
servant:
O Israel, thou shalt
not be
forgotten
of
me.
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.

as a cloud ,
thy sins :
return unto me ;

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, O ye
heavens ;
for the
LORD
hath done
it:
shout, ye
lower parts of the
earth :
break forth into
singing
, ye
mountains, O
forest, and every tree therein:
for the
LORD
hath redeemed Jacob, and glorified
himself
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 saith
the
LORD
, thy redeemer, and he
that
formed
thee
from the womb ,
I am the
LORD
that
maketh
all things ;
that
stretcheth
forth
the heavens alone;
that
spreadeth
abroad
the earth by
myself;
Making
void
the tokens of devisers
, And diviners
it
maketh mad ,
Turning
the
wise backward, And their knowledge it
maketh
foolish .
That
frustrateth
the tokens of the
liars
, and maketh diviners
mad ;
that
turneth
wise men
backward, and maketh
their knowledge foolish ;
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 ,
That
confirmeth
the word of his servant, and
performeth
the counsel of his messengers ;
that
saith
to
Jerusalem, Thou
shalt
be
inhabited ;
and to
the
cities of Judah, Ye
shall be built, and I will
raise up the
decayed
places
thereof:
Who
is
saying
to the deep, Be dry, and thy
rivers
I cause
to
dry up ,
That
saith
to the deep, Be dry, and I will
dry up thy
rivers:
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
.
That
saith
of Cyrus, He
is
my shepherd, and shall
perform
all my pleasure:
even
saying
to Jerusalem, Thou shalt
be
built ;
and to
the temple, Thy
foundation
shall
be
laid
.
