1. Hear you this, 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 Yahweh, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness
|
1. Hear H8085 ye this H2063 , O house H1004 of Jacob H3290 , which are called H7121 by the name H8034 of Israel H3478 , and are come forth H3318 out of the waters H4480 H4325 of Judah H3063 , which swear H7650 by the name H8034 of the LORD H3068 , and make mention H2142 of the God H430 of Israel H3478 , but not H3808 in truth H571 , nor H3808 in righteousness H6666 .
|
|
2. (for they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves on the God of Israel; Yahweh of Hosts is his name):
|
2. For H3588 they call themselves H7121 of the holy H6944 city H4480 H5892 , and stay themselves H5564 upon H5921 the God H430 of Israel H3478 ; The LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 is his name H8034 .
|
|
3. I have declared the former things from of old; yes, they went forth out of my mouth, and I shown them: suddenly I did them, and they happened.
|
3. I have declared H5046 the former things H7223 from the beginning H4480 H227 ; and they went forth H3318 out of my mouth H4480 H6310 , and I showed H8085 them ; I did H6213 them suddenly H6597 , and they came to pass H935 .
|
|
4. Because I knew that you are obstinate, and your neck is an iron sinew, and your brow brass;
|
4. Because I knew H4480 H3045 that H3588 thou H859 art obstinate H7186 , and thy neck H6203 is an iron H1270 sinew H1517 , and thy brow H4696 brass H5154 ;
|
|
5. therefore I have declared it to you from of old; before it came to pass I shown it you; lest you should say, My idol has done them, and my engraved image, and my molten image, has commanded them.
|
5. I have even from the beginning H4480 H227 declared H5046 it to thee; before H2962 it came to pass H935 I showed H8085 it thee: lest H6435 thou shouldest say H559 , Mine idol H6090 hath done H6213 them , and my graven image H6459 , and my molten image H5262 , hath commanded H6680 them.
|
|
6. You have heard it; see all this; and you , will you not declare it? I have shown you new things from this time, even hidden things, which you have not known.
|
6. Thou hast heard H8085 , see H2372 all H3605 this ; and will not H3808 ye H859 declare H5046 it ? I have showed H8085 thee new things H2319 from this time H4480 H6258 , even hidden things H5341 , and thou didst not H3808 know H3045 them.
|
|
7. They are created now, and not from of old; and before this day you didn't hear them; lest you should say, Behold, I knew them.
|
7. They are created H1254 now H6258 , and not H3808 from the beginning H4480 H227 ; even before H6440 the day H3117 when thou heardest H8085 them not H3808 ; lest H6435 thou shouldest say H559 , Behold H2009 , I knew H3045 them.
|
|
8. Yes, you didn't hear; yes, you didn't know; yes, from of old your ear was not opened: for I knew that you did deal very treacherously, and was called a transgressor from the womb.
|
8. Yea H1571 , thou heardest H8085 not H3808 ; yea H1571 , thou knewest H3045 not H3808 ; yea H1571 , from that time H4480 H227 that thine ear H241 was not H3808 opened H6605 : for H3588 I knew H3045 that thou wouldest deal very treacherously H898 H898 , and wast called H7121 a transgressor H6586 from the womb H4480 H990 .
|
|
9. For my name's sake will I defer my anger, and for my praise will I refrain for you, that I not cut you off.
|
9. For my name's sake H4616 H8034 will I defer H748 mine anger H639 , and for my praise H8416 will I refrain H2413 for thee , that I cut thee not off H3772 H1115 .
|
|
10. Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction.
|
10. Behold H2009 , I have refined H6884 thee , but not H3808 with silver H3701 ; I have chosen H977 thee in the furnace H3564 of affliction H6040 .
|
|
11. For my own sake, for my own sake, will I do it; for how should my name be profaned? and my glory I will not give to another.
|
11. For mine own sake H4616 , even for mine own sake H4616 , will I do H6213 it : for H3588 how H349 should my name be polluted H2490 ? and I will not H3808 give H5414 my glory H3519 unto another H312 .
|
|
12. Listen to me, O Jacob, and Israel my called: I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.
|
12. Hearken H8085 unto H413 me , O Jacob H3290 and Israel H3478 , my called H7121 ; I H589 am he H1931 ; I H589 am the first H7223 , I H589 also H637 am the last H314 .
|
|
13. Yes, my hand has laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand has spread out the heavens: when I call to them, they stand up together.
|
13. Mine hand H3027 also H637 hath laid the foundation H3245 of the earth H776 , and my right hand H3225 hath spanned H2946 the heavens H8064 : when I H589 call H7121 unto H413 them , they stand up H5975 together H3162 .
|
|
14. Assemble yourselves, all you , and hear; who among them has declared these things? He whom Yahweh loves shall perform his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans.
|
14. All H3605 ye , assemble yourselves H6908 , and hear H8085 ; which H4310 among them hath declared H5046 H853 these H428 things ? The LORD H3068 hath loved H157 him : he will do H6213 his pleasure H2656 on Babylon H894 , and his arm H2220 shall be on the Chaldeans H3778 .
|
|
15. I, even I, have spoken; yes, I have called him; I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.
|
15. I H589 , even I H589 , have spoken H1696 ; yea H637 , I have called H7121 him : I have brought H935 him , and he shall make his way H1870 prosperous H6743 .
|
|
16. Come you near to me, hear you this; from the beginning I have not spoken in secret; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord Yahweh has sent me, and his Spirit.
|
16. Come ye near H7126 unto H413 me, hear H8085 ye this H2063 ; I have not H3808 spoken H1696 in secret H5643 from the beginning H4480 H7218 ; from the time H4480 H6256 that it was H1961 , there H8033 am I H589 : and now H6258 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 , and his Spirit H7307 , hath sent H7971 me.
|
|
17. Thus says Yahweh, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am Yahweh your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way that you should go.
|
17. Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 , thy Redeemer H1350 , the Holy One H6918 of Israel H3478 ; I H589 am the Lord H3068 thy God H430 which teacheth H3925 thee to profit H3276 , which leadeth H1869 thee by the way H1870 that thou shouldest go H1980 .
|
|
18. Oh that you had listened to my commandments! then had your peace been as a river, and your righteousness as the waves of the sea:
|
18. O that H3863 thou hadst hearkened H7181 to my commandments H4687 ! then had thy peace H7965 been H1961 as a river H5104 , and thy righteousness H6666 as the waves H1530 of the sea H3220 :
|
|
19. your seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of your loins like the grains of it: his name would not be cut off nor destroyed from before me.
|
19. Thy seed H2233 also had been H1961 as the sand H2344 , and the offspring H6631 of thy bowels H4578 like the gravel H4579 thereof ; his name H8034 should not H3808 have been cut off H3772 nor H3808 destroyed H8045 from before H4480 H6440 me.
|
|
20. Go you forth from 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 , Yahweh has redeemed his servant Jacob.
|
20. Go ye forth H3318 of Babylon H4480 H894 , flee H1272 ye from the Chaldeans H4480 H3778 , with a voice H6963 of singing H7440 declare H5046 ye, tell H8085 this H2063 , utter H3318 it even to H5704 the end H7097 of the earth H776 ; say H559 ye , The LORD H3068 hath redeemed H1350 his servant H5650 Jacob H3290 .
|
|
21. They didn't thirst when he led them through the deserts; he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them; he split the rock also, and the waters gushed out.
|
21. And they thirsted H6770 not H3808 when he led H1980 them through the deserts H2723 : he caused the waters H4325 to flow H5140 out of the rock H4480 H6697 for them : he cleaved H1234 the rock H6697 also , and the waters H4325 gushed out H2100 .
|
|
22. There is no peace, says Yahweh, to the wicked.
|
22. There is no H369 peace H7965 , saith H559 the LORD H3068 , unto the wicked H7563 .
