|
|
9. Whom I have taken hold of, from the ends of the earth, And from its near places I have called thee, And I say to thee, My servant Thou art, I have chosen thee, and not rejected thee.
|
9. Thou whom H834 I have taken H2388 from the ends H4480 H7098 of the earth H776 , and called H7121 thee from the chief men H4480 H678 thereof , and said H559 unto thee, Thou H859 art my servant H5650 ; I have chosen H977 thee , and not H3808 cast thee away H3988 .

|
|
12. Thou seekest them, and findest them not, The men who debate with thee, They are as nothing, yea, as nothing, The men who war with thee.
|
12. Thou shalt seek H1245 them , and shalt not H3808 find H4672 them H376 , even them that contended H4695 with thee: they H376 that war H4421 against thee shall be H1961 as nothing H369 , and as a thing of naught H657 .

|
18. I will open H6605 rivers H5104 in H5921 high places H8205 , and fountains H4599 in the midst H8432 of the valleys H1237 : I will make H7760 the wilderness H4057 a pool H98 of water H4325 , and the dry H6723 land H776 springs H4161 of water H4325 .
|
|

|
|
22. They bring nigh, and declare to us that which doth happen, The first things -- what they are declare ye, And we set our heart, and know their latter end, Or the coming things cause us to hear.
|
22. Let them bring them forth H5066 , and show H5046 us H853 what H834 shall happen H7136 : let them show H5046 the former things H7223 , what H4100 they H2007 be , that we may consider H7760 H3820 them , and know H3045 the latter end H319 of them; or H176 declare H8085 us things for to come H935 .

|
24. Behold H2005 , ye H859 are of nothing H4480 H369 , and your work H6467 of naught H4480 H659 : an abomination H8441 is he that chooseth H977 you.
|
|
25. I have stirred up one from the north, And he cometh, From the rising of the sun he calleth in My name, And he cometh in on prefects as on clay, And as a potter treadeth down mire.
|
25. I have raised up H5782 one from the north H4480 H6828 , and he shall come H857 : from the rising H4480 H4217 of the sun H8121 shall he call H7121 upon my name H8034 : and he shall come H935 upon princes H5461 as H3644 upon mortar H2563 , and as H3644 the potter H3335 treadeth H7429 clay H2916 .
|
|
26. Who hath declared from the first, and we know? And beforetime, and we say, `Righteous?` yea, there is none declaring, Yea, there is none proclaiming, Yea, there is none hearing your sayings.
|
26. Who H4310 hath declared H5046 from the beginning H4480 H7218 , that we may know H3045 ? and formerly H4480 H6440 , that we may say H559 , He is righteous H6662 ? yea H637 , there is none H369 that showeth H5046 , yea H637 , there is none H369 that declareth H8085 , yea H637 , there is none H369 that heareth H8085 your words H561 .

|
|
28. And I see that there is no man, Yea, of these that there is no counsellor, And I ask them, and they return word:
|
28. For I beheld H7200 , and there was no H369 man H376 ; even among them H4480 H428 , and there was no H369 counselor H3289 , that , when I asked H7592 of them , could answer H7725 a word H1697 .
|
|
29. `Lo, all of them are vanity, Nought are their works, Wind and emptiness their molten images!`
|
29. Behold H2005 , they are all H3605 vanity H205 ; their works H4639 are nothing H657 : their molten images H5262 are wind H7307 and confusion H8414 .
