“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 —
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 .
who
indeed
call yourselves
after
the holy city and lean
on
the God of Israel; the
LORD
of Hosts is His name .
(for
they
call themselves
of
the holy city ,
and stay
themselves
upon
the God of Israel; Jehovah
of hosts is his name ):
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.
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.
For
I knew that you
are
stubborn;
your
neck is iron and your
forehead
is
bronze.
Because
I knew that thou
art
obstinate,
and
thy
neck is an
iron sinew,
and thy
brow
brass;
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
. ’
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
.
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
.
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
.
They are created now, and not long
ago;
you
have
not
heard
of them
before today.
So
you
cannot
claim
, ‘
I already
knew them !’
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 .
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
.
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
.
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.
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.
See
, I have refined you
, but not as silver; I have tested
you
in the furnace of affliction.
Behold
, I have refined thee
, but not as silver; I have chosen
thee
in the furnace of affliction.
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.
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.
Listen
to
Me, O Jacob, and Israel ,
whom
I
have
called: I am He; I am the first, and
I am the last.
Hearken
unto
me, O Jacob, and Israel my
called: I am he; I am the first, I also
am the last.
Surely
My own
hand founded
the earth, and My right hand spread out the heavens ;
when I summon
them, they stand up together.
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.
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.
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.
I, even I, have spoken; yes
, I have called him .
I have brought him, and he will
succeed
in
his mission
.
I, even I, have spoken; yea
, I have called him ;
I have brought him, and he shall
make
his way
prosperous
.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 .
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 :
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
. ”
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
.
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 !”
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 .
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.
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.
“
There is no peace, ”
says
the
LORD
, “for
the wicked. ”
There is no peace, saith
Jehovah
, to
the wicked.
