Berean Standard Bible
Hear
ye
this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and
are
come
forth
out
of
the waters
of Judah ;
who swear by the name of Jehovah
, and
make
mention
of
the God of Israel ,
but not in truth ,
nor
in
righteousness .
“Listen
to
this, O house of Jacob, you
who are called by the name of Israel, who
have
descended
from
the line
of Judah ,
who swear by the name of the
LORD
, who
invoke
the God of Israel —
but not in truth or
righteousness —
(for
they
call themselves
of
the holy city ,
and stay
themselves
upon
the God of Israel; Jehovah
of hosts is his name ):
who
indeed
call yourselves
after
the holy city and lean
on
the God of Israel; the
LORD
of Hosts is His name .
I have
declared
the former things from
of
old
; yea,
they went
forth
out of my mouth ,
and I showed
them :
suddenly I did
them
, and they came to pass.
I foretold
the former things long
ago
; they came
out of My mouth and I proclaimed
them .
Suddenly I acted
, and they came to pass.
Because
I knew that thou
art
obstinate,
and
thy
neck is an
iron sinew,
and thy
brow
brass;
For
I knew that you
are
stubborn;
your
neck is iron and your
forehead
is
bronze.
therefore I have
declared it to thee
from
of
old
; before it came to pass I
showed
it
thee;
lest
thou
shouldest
say
, Mine
idol hath
done them,
and
my graven
image ,
and my
molten image,
hath
commanded
them
.
Therefore I declared it to you
long
ago
; I
announced
it
before it came to pass, so
that
you
could
not
claim,
‘My
idol has
done this;
my carved
image and molten god
has
ordained
it
. ’
Thou
hast
heard it
; behold
all this;
and
ye,
will ye
not declare
it
? I have
showed
thee
new things from
this
time
, even
hidden things ,
which
thou
hast
not
known
.
You
have
heard these
things
; look
at
them
all .
Will you
not acknowledge
them
? From
now
on
I will
tell
you
of
new things, hidden things unknown
to
you
.
They are created now, and not from
of
old
; and
before
this
day
thou
heardest
them
not ;
lest
thou
shouldest
say,
Behold
, I knew them .
They are created now, and not long
ago
; you
have
not heard
of
them
before
today.
So
you
cannot
claim
, ‘
I already
knew them !’
Yea,
thou
heardest
not
; yea,
thou
knewest
not
; yea,
from
of
old
thine
ear
was
not opened:
for I knew that
thou
didst
deal
very
treacherously,
and
wast
called a transgressor
from the
womb
.
You
have
never
heard
; you
have
never
understood
; for
a
long
time
your
ears
have
not been
open.
For I knew how
deceitful
you
are;
you
have
been
called a rebel
from birth
.
For my
name's
sake will
I defer
mine
anger,
and
for my praise will
I refrain
for
thee
, that I
cut
thee
not off.
For the
sake of
My
name
I will
delay
My
wrath;
for the
sake
of
My praise I will
restrain
it
, so
that you
will
not be
cut
off.
Behold
, I have refined thee
, but not as silver; I have chosen
thee
in the furnace of affliction.
See
, I have refined you
, but not as silver; I have tested
you
in the furnace of affliction.
For mine
own sake, for
mine
own sake, will
I do
it
; for how should
`my
name'
be profaned
? and
my
glory
will
I not give
to another.
For My
own sake, My
very
own sake, I will
act
; for how can
I
let
Myself
be defamed
? I will
not yield
My
glory
to another.
Hearken
unto
me, O Jacob, and Israel my
called: I am he; I am the first, I also
am the last.
Listen
to
Me, O Jacob, and Israel ,
whom
I
have
called: I am He; I am the first, and
I am the last.
Yea,
my hand hath
laid
the
foundation
of
the earth, and my right hand hath
spread out the heavens :
when I call
unto
them, they stand up together.
Surely
My own
hand founded
the earth, and My right hand spread out the heavens ;
when I summon
them, they stand up together.
Assemble
yourselves
, all ye
, and hear;
who
among
them
hath
declared
these things? He
whom
Jehovah
loveth
shall
perform
his pleasure
on
Babylon, and his arm `shall
be on'
the Chaldeans.
Come
together
, all of
you
, and listen:
Which
of
the
idols
has
foretold
these things? The
LORD’s
chosen
ally
will
carry
out
His desire
against
Babylon, and His arm will
be against
the Chaldeans.
I, even I, have spoken; yea
, I have called him ;
I have brought him, and he shall
make
his way
prosperous
.
I, even I, have spoken; yes
, I have called him .
I have brought him, and he will
succeed
in
his mission
.
Come ye
near unto
me ,
hear
ye
this ;
from the beginning I have not spoken in secret; from the time that
it was
, there
am
I :
and now the Lord Jehovah
hath
sent me, and
his Spirit.
Come near to
Me and
listen
to
this :
From the beginning I have not spoken in secret; from the time it happened
, I was
there.”
And now the Lord GOD
has
sent me, accompanied
by
His Spirit.
Thus saith
Jehovah,
thy
Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am Jehovah
thy
God, who teacheth
thee
to
profit
, who leadeth
thee
by
the way that
thou
shouldest
go.
Thus says
the
LORD
your
Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “
I am the
LORD
your
God, who teaches
you
for
your
benefit
, who directs
you
in
the way you
should
go.
Oh
that
thou
hadst
hearkened
to my commandments !
then
had
thy
peace been as
a river, and thy
righteousness as
the
waves of the sea :
If
only
you
had
paid
attention
to My commandments ,
your
peace would
have
been like
a river, and your
righteousness like
waves of the sea .
thy
seed
also
had
been as the sand, and the
offspring of
thy
bowels
like
the
grains thereof:
his
name would not
be cut off nor
destroyed
from before
me
.
Your
descendants
would
have
been as countless
as
the sand, and your
offspring as
numerous
as
its
grains ;
their
name would never
be cut off or
eliminated
from My
presence
. ”
Go
ye
forth
from
Babylon ,
flee ye
from the Chaldeans ;
with a voice
of singing
declare
ye
, tell
this
, utter
it even
to the end
of the earth :
say
ye
, Jehovah
hath
redeemed his servant Jacob .
Leave
Babylon !
Flee from the Chaldeans !
Declare
it
with a shout
of joy
, proclaim
it
, let
it go
out
to the ends
of the earth, saying,
“The
LORD
has
redeemed His servant Jacob !”
And
they thirsted
not when he led them through the deserts; he caused
the
waters
to
flow out
of
the
rock
for them; he clave
the rock also
, and the
waters
gushed out.
They did
not thirst
when He led them through the deserts; He made
water
flow for them from
the
rock
; He split
the rock, and water
gushed out.
There is no peace, saith
Jehovah
, to
the wicked.
“
There is no peace, ”
says
the
LORD
, “for
the wicked. ”
