Bible Text  (Scroll to Verse)  [Copy]

1 Hear you this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, which swear by the name of the LORD [Yahweh], and make mention of the God of Israel, [but] not in truth, nor in righteousness.
2 For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel; The LORD [Yahweh] of hosts [is] his name.
3 I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I showed them; I did [them] suddenly, and they came to pass.
4 Because I knew that you [are] obstinate, and your neck [is] an iron sinew, and your brow brass;
5 I have even from the beginning declared [it] to you; before it came to pass I showed [it] you: lest you should say, My idol has done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, has commanded them.
6 You have heard, see all this; and will not you declare [it]? I have showed you new things from this time, even hidden things, and you did not know them.
7 They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when you heard them not; lest you should say, Behold, I knew them.
8 Yes, you heard not; yes, you knew not; yes, from that time [that] your ear was not opened: for I knew that you would deal very treacherously, and were called a transgressor from the womb.
9 For my name's sake will I defer my anger, and for my praise will I refrain for you, that I cut you not off.
10 Behold, I have refined you, but not with silver; I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction.
11 For my own sake, [even] for my own sake, will I do [it]: for how should [my name] be polluted? and I will not give my glory to another.
12 Listen to me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I [am] he; I [am] the first, I also [am] the last.
13 My hand also has laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand has spanned the heavens: [when] I call to them, they stand up together.
14 All you, assemble yourselves, and hear; which among them has declared these [things]? The LORD [Yahweh] has loved him: he will do his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm [will be on] the Chaldeans.
15 I, [even] I, have spoken; yes, I have called him: I have brought him, and he will make his way prosperous.
16 Come you near to me, hear you this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there [am] I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, has sent me.
17 Thus says the LORD [Yahweh], your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I [am] the LORD [Yahweh] your God which teaches you to profit, which leads you by the way [that] you should go.
 - PROVISION
18 O that you had listened to my commandments! then had your peace been as a river, and your righteousness as the waves of the sea:
19 Your seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of your bowels like the gravel of it; his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me.
 - COVENANT OF FLESH
20 Go you forth of Babylon, flee you from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing declare you, tell this, utter it [even] to the end of the earth; say you, The LORD [Yahweh] has redeemed his servant Jacob.
21 And they thirsted not [when] he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he cleaved the rock also, and the waters gushed out.
22 [There is] no peace, says the LORD [Yahweh], to the wicked.
