1 # Yet now hear <08085> (8798), O Jacob <03290> my servant <05650>; and Israel <03478>, whom I have chosen <0977> (8804):
2 Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> that made <06213> (8802) thee, and formed <03335> (8802) thee from the womb <0990>, which will help <05826> (8799) thee; Fear <03372> (8799) not, O Jacob <03290> , my servant <05650>; and thou, Jesurun <03484>, whom I have chosen <0977> (8804).
3 For I will pour <03332> (8799) water <04325> upon him that is thirsty <06771>, and floods <05140> (8802) upon the dry ground <03004>: I will pour <03332> (8799) my spirit <07307> upon thy seed <02233>, and my blessing <01293> upon thine offspring <06631>:
 - PROVISION
4 And they shall spring up <06779> (8804) as among <0996> the grass <02682>, as willows <06155> by the water <04325> courses <02988>.
5 One shall say <0559> (8799), I am the LORD'S <03068>; and another shall call <07121> (8799) himself by the name <08034> of Jacob <03290>; and another shall subscribe <03789> (8799) with his hand <03027> unto the LORD <03068>, and surname <03655> (8762) himself by the name <08034> of Israel <03478>.
6 Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> the King <04428> of Israel <03478>, and his redeemer <01350> (8802) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>; I am the first <07223>, and I am the last <0314>; and beside <01107> me there is no God <0430>.
7 And who, as I, shall call <07121> (8799), and shall declare <05046> (8686) it, and set it in order <06186> (8799) for me, since I appointed <07760> (8800) the ancient <05769> people <05971>? and the things that are coming <0857> (8802), and shall come <0935> (8799), let them shew <05046> (8686) unto them.
8 Fear <06342> (8799) ye not, neither be afraid <07297> (8799) (8676) <07297> (8804): have not I told <08085> (8689) thee from that time <0227>, and have declared <05046> (8689) it? ye are even my witnesses <05707>. Is there <03426> a God <0433> beside <01107> me? yea, there is no God <06697>; I know <03045> (8804) not any.
9 # They that make <03335> (8802) a graven image <06459> are all of them vanity <08414>; and their delectable things <02530> (8803) shall not profit <03276> (8686); and they are their own witnesses <05707>; they see <07200> (8799) not, nor know <03045> (8799); that they may be ashamed <0954> (8799).
10 Who hath formed <03335> (8804) a god <0410>, or molten <05258> (8804) a graven image <06459> that is profitable <03276> (8687) for nothing <01115>?
11 Behold, all his fellows <02270> shall be ashamed <0954> (8799): and the workmen <02796>, they are of men <0120> : let them all be gathered together <06908> (8691), let them stand up <05975> (8799); yet they shall fear <06342> (8799), and they shall be ashamed <0954> (8799) together <03162>.
12 The smith <01270> <02796> with the tongs <04621> both worketh <06466> (8804) in the coals <06352> , and fashioneth <03335> (8799) it with hammers <04717>, and worketh <06466> (8799) it with the strength <03581> of his arms <02220>: yea, he is hungry <07457>, and his strength <03581> faileth <0369>: he drinketh <08354> (8804) no water <04325> , and is faint <03286> (8799).
13 The carpenter <02796> <06086> stretcheth out <05186> (8804) his rule <06957>; he marketh it out <08388> (8762) with a line <08279>; he fitteth <06213> (8799) it with planes <04741>, and he marketh it out <08388> (8762) with the compass <04230>, and maketh <06213> (8799) it after the figure <08403> of a man <0376>, according to the beauty <08597> of a man <0120>; that it may remain <03427> (8800) in the house <01004>.
14 He heweth him down <03772> (8800) cedars <0730>, and taketh <03947> (8799) the cypress <08645> and the oak <0437>, which he strengtheneth <0553> (8762) for himself among the trees <06086> of the forest <03293>: he planteth <05193> (8804) an ash <0766>, and the rain <01653> doth nourish <01431> (8762) it.
15 Then shall it be for a man <0120> to burn <01197> (8763): for he will take <03947> (8799) thereof, and warm <02552> (8799) himself; yea, he kindleth <05400> (8686) it, and baketh <0644> (8804) bread <03899>; yea, he maketh <06466> (8799) a god <0410>, and worshippeth <07812> (8691) it; he maketh <06213> (8804) it a graven image <06459>, and falleth down <05456> (8799) thereto.
16 He burneth <08313> (8804) part <02677> thereof in <01119> the fire <0784>; with part <02677> thereof he eateth <0398> (8799) flesh <01320>; he roasteth <06740> (8799) roast <06748>, and is satisfied <07646> (8799): yea, he warmeth <02552> (8799) himself, and saith <0559> (8799), Aha <01889>, I am warm <02552> (8804), I have seen <07200> (8804) the fire <0217>:
17 And the residue <07611> thereof he maketh <06213> (8804) a god <0410>, even his graven image <06459> : he falleth down <05456> (8799) unto it, and worshippeth <07812> (8691) it, and prayeth <06419> (8691) unto it, and saith <0559> (8799), Deliver <05337> (8685) me; for thou art my god <0410>.
18 They have not known <03045> (8804) nor understood <0995> (8799): for he hath shut <02902> (8804) their eyes <05869>, that they cannot see <07200> (8800); and their hearts <03826>, that they cannot understand <07919> (8687) .
19 And none considereth <07725> (8686) in his heart <03820>, neither is there knowledge <01847> nor understanding <08394> to say <0559> (8800), I have burned <08313> (8804) part <02677> of it in <01119> the fire <0784> ; yea, also I have baked <0644> (8804) bread <03899> upon the coals <01513> thereof; I have roasted <06740> (8799) flesh <01320>, and eaten <0398> (8799) it: and shall I make <06213> (8799) the residue <03499> thereof an abomination <08441> ? shall I fall down <05456> (8799) to the stock <0944> of a tree <06086>?
20 He feedeth <07462> (8802) on ashes <0665>: a deceived <02048> (8795) heart <03820> hath turned him aside <05186> (8689), that he cannot deliver <05337> (8686) his soul <05315>, nor say <0559> (8799), Is there not a lie <08267> in my right hand <03225>?
21 # Remember <02142> (8798) these, O Jacob <03290> and Israel <03478>; for thou art my servant <05650>: I have formed <03335> (8804) thee; thou art my servant <05650>: O Israel <03478>, thou shalt not be forgotten <05382> (8735) of me.
22 I have blotted out <04229> (8804), as a thick cloud <05645>, thy transgressions <06588>, and, as a cloud <06051> , thy sins <02403>: return <07725> (8798) unto me; for I have redeemed <01350> (8804) thee.
23 Sing <07442> (8798), O ye heavens <08064>; for the LORD <03068> hath done <06213> (8804) it : shout <07321> (8685), ye lower parts <08482> of the earth <0776>: break forth <06476> (8798) into singing <07440> , ye mountains <02022>, O forest <03293>, and every tree <06086> therein: for the LORD <03068> hath redeemed <01350> (8804) Jacob <03290>, and glorified <06286> (8691) himself in Israel <03478>.
24 Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>, thy redeemer <01350> (8802), and he that formed <03335> (8802) thee from the womb <0990>, I am the LORD <03068> that maketh <06213> (8802) all things; that stretcheth forth <05186> (8802) the heavens <08064> alone; that spreadeth abroad <07554> (8802) the earth <0776> by myself;
25 That frustrateth <06565> (8688) the tokens <0226> of the liars <0907>, and maketh diviners <07080> (8802) mad <01984> (8779); that turneth <07725> (8688) wise <02450> men backward <0268>, and maketh their knowledge <01847> foolish <05528> (8762);
26 That confirmeth <06965> (8688) the word <01697> of his servant <05650>, and performeth <07999> (8686) the counsel <06098> of his messengers <04397>; that saith <0559> (8802) to Jerusalem <03389>, Thou shalt be inhabited <03427> (8714); and to the cities <05892> of Judah <03063>, Ye shall be built <01129> (8735), and I will raise up <06965> (8787) the decayed places <02723> thereof:
27 That saith <0559> (8802) to the deep <06683>, Be dry <02717> (8798), and I will dry up <03001> (8686) thy rivers <05104>:
28 That saith <0559> (8802) of Cyrus <03566>, He is my shepherd <07462> (8802), and shall perform <07999> (8686) all my pleasure <02656>: even saying <0559> (8800) to Jerusalem <03389>, Thou shalt be built <01129> (8735); and to the temple <01964>, Thy foundation shall be laid <03245> (8735).
