1 # Listen <08085> (8798), O isles <0339>, unto me; and hearken <07181> (8685), ye people <03816>, from far <07350>; The LORD <03068> hath called <07121> (8804) me from the womb <0990>; from the bowels <04578> of my mother <0517> hath he made mention <02142> (8689) of my name <08034>.
2 And he hath made <07760> (8799) my mouth <06310> like a sharp <02299> sword <02719>; in the shadow <06738> of his hand <03027> hath he hid <02244> (8689) me, and made <07760> (8799) me a polished <01305> (8803) shaft <02671>; in his quiver <0827> hath he hid <05641> (8689) me;

3 And said <0559> (8799) unto me, Thou art my servant <05650>, O Israel <03478>, in whom I will be glorified <06286> (8691).
4 Then I said <0559> (8804), I have laboured <03021> (8804) in vain <07385>, I have spent <03615> (8765) my strength <03581> for nought <08414>, and in vain <01892>: yet surely <0403> my judgment <04941> is with the LORD <03068>, and my work <06468> with my God <0430>.
5 And now, saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> that formed <03335> (8802) me from the womb <0990> to be his servant <05650>, to bring <07725> <00> Jacob <03290> again <07725> (8788) to him, Though Israel <03478> be not gathered <0622> (8735), yet shall I be glorious <03513> (8735) in the eyes <05869> of the LORD <03068>, and my God <0430> shall be my strength <05797>.
6 And he said <0559> (8799), It is a light thing <07043> (8738) that thou shouldest be my servant <05650> to raise up <06965> (8687) the tribes <07626> of Jacob <03290>, and to restore <07725> (8687) the preserved <05341> (8803) (8675) <05336> of Israel <03478>: I will also give <05414> (8804) thee for a light <0216> to the Gentiles <01471>, that thou mayest be my salvation <03444> unto the end <07097> of the earth <0776>.
7 # Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>, the Redeemer <01350> (8802) of Israel <03478>, and his Holy One <06918>, to him whom man <05315> despiseth <0960>, to him whom the nation <01471> abhorreth <08581> (8764), to a servant <05650> of rulers <04910> (8802), Kings <04428> shall see <07200> (8799) and arise <06965> (8804) , princes <08269> also shall worship <07812> (8691), because of the LORD <03068> that is faithful <0539> (8737), and the Holy One <06918> of Israel <03478>, and he shall choose <0977> (8799) thee.
8 Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>, In an acceptable <07522> time <06256> have I heard <06030> (8804) thee, and in a day <03117> of salvation <03444> have I helped <05826> (8804) thee: and I will preserve <05341> (8799) thee, and give <05414> (8799) thee for a covenant <01285> of the people <05971>, to establish <06965> (8687) the earth <0776>, to cause to inherit <05157> (8687) the desolate <08074> (8802) heritages <05159>;
9 That thou mayest say <0559> (8800) to the prisoners <0631> (8803), Go forth <03318> (8798); to them that are in darkness <02822>, Shew <01540> (8734) yourselves. They shall feed <07462> (8799) in the ways <01870>, and their pastures <04830> shall be in all high places <08205>.
10 They shall not hunger <07456> (8799) nor thirst <06770> (8799); neither shall the heat <08273> nor sun <08121> smite <05221> (8686) them: for he that hath mercy <07355> (8764) on them shall lead <05090> (8762) them, even by the springs <04002> of water <04325> shall he guide <05095> (8762) them.
11 And I will make <07760> (8804) all my mountains <02022> a way <01870>, and my highways <04546> shall be exalted <07311> (8799).
12 Behold, these shall come <0935> (8799) from far <07350>: and, lo, these from the north <06828> and from the west <03220> ; and these from the land <0776> of Sinim <05515>.
13 # Sing <07442> (8798), O heavens <08064>; and be joyful <01523> (8798), O earth <0776>; and break forth <06476> (8798) into singing <07440>, O mountains <02022>: for the LORD <03068> hath comforted <05162> (8765) his people <05971>, and will have mercy <07355> (8762) upon his afflicted <06041>.
14 But Zion <06726> said <0559> (8799), The LORD <03068> hath forsaken <05800> (8804) me, and my Lord <0136> hath forgotten <07911> (8804) me.
15 Can a woman <0802> forget <07911> (8799) her sucking child <05764>, that she should not have compassion <07355> (8763) on the son <01121> of her womb <0990>? yea, they may forget <07911> (8799), yet will I not forget <07911> (8799) thee.
16 Behold, I have graven <02710> (8804) thee upon the palms of my hands <03709>; thy walls <02346> are continually <08548> before me.
17 Thy children <01121> shall make haste <04116> (8765); thy destroyers <02040> (8764) and they that made thee waste <02717> (8688) shall go forth <03318> (8799) of thee.
18 # Lift up <05375> (8798) thine eyes <05869> round about <05439>, and behold <07200> (8798): all these gather themselves together <06908> (8738), and come <0935> (8804) to thee. As I live <02416>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>, thou shalt surely clothe <03847> (8799) thee with them all, as with an ornament <05716>, and bind <07194> (8762) them on thee, as a bride <03618> doeth.
19 For thy waste <02723> and thy desolate places <08074> (8802), and the land <0776> of thy destruction <02035> , shall even now be too narrow <03334> (8799) by reason of the inhabitants <03427> (8802), and they that swallowed thee up <01104> (8764) shall be far away <07368> (8804).
20 The children <01121> which thou shalt have, after thou hast lost <07923> the other, shall say <0559> (8799) again in thine ears <0241>, The place <04725> is too strait <06862> for me: give <05066> (8798) place <04725> to me that I may dwell <03427> (8799).
21 Then shalt thou say <0559> (8804) in thine heart <03824>, Who hath begotten <03205> (8804) me these, seeing I have lost my children <07921> (8803), and am desolate <01565>, a captive <01540> (8802), and removing to and fro <05493> (8803)? and who hath brought up <01431> (8765) these? Behold, I was left <07604> (8738) alone; these, where <0375> had they been?
22 Thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, Behold, I will lift up <05375> (8799) mine hand <03027> to the Gentiles <01471>, and set up <07311> (8686) my standard <05251> to the people <05971>: and they shall bring <0935> (8689) thy sons <01121> in their arms <02684>, and thy daughters <01323> shall be carried <05375> (8735) upon their shoulders <03802>.
23 And kings <04428> shall be thy nursing fathers <0539> (8802), and their queens <08282> thy nursing mothers <03243> (8688): they shall bow down <07812> (8691) to thee with their face <0639> toward the earth <0776>, and lick up <03897> (8762) the dust <06083> of thy feet <07272>; and thou shalt know <03045> (8804) that I am the LORD <03068>: for they shall not be ashamed <0954> (8799) that wait <06960> (8802) for me.
24 # Shall the prey <04455> be taken <03947> (8714) from the mighty <01368>, or the lawful <06662> captive <07628> delivered <04422> (8735)?
25 But thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>, Even the captives <07628> of the mighty <01368> shall be taken away <03947> (8714), and the prey <04455> of the terrible <06184> shall be delivered <04422> (8735): for I will contend <07378> (8799) with him that contendeth <03401> with thee, and I will save <03467> (8686) thy children <01121>.
26 And I will feed <0398> (8689) them that oppress <03238> (8688) thee with their own flesh <01320>; and they shall be drunken <07937> (8799) with their own blood <01818>, as with sweet wine <06071>: and all flesh <01320> shall know <03045> (8804) that I the LORD <03068> am thy Saviour <03467> (8688) and thy Redeemer <01350> (8802), the mighty One <046> of Jacob <03290>.
