1 Comfort H5162 ye , comfort H5162 ye my people H5971 , saith H559 VQY3MS your God H430 .
2 Speak H1696 ye comfortably H3820 NMS to Jerusalem H3389 , and cry H7121 unto H413 PREP-3FS her , that H3588 CONJ her warfare H6635 is accomplished H4390 , that H3588 CONJ her iniquity H5771 is pardoned H7521 : for H3588 CONJ she hath received H3947 of the LORD H3068 EDS \'s hand H3027 M-GFS double H3718 for all H3605 B-CMS her sins H2403 .
3 The voice H6963 CMS of him that crieth H7121 in the wilderness H4057 , Prepare H6437 ye the way H1870 NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS , make straight H3474 in the desert H6160 a highway H4546 for our God H430 .
4 Every H3605 NMS valley H1516 shall be exalted H5375 , and every H3605 NMS mountain H2022 CMS and hill H1389 shall be made low H8213 : and the crooked H6121 shall be made H1961 W-VQQ3MS straight H4334 , and the rough places H7406 plain H1237 :
5 And the glory H3519 of the LORD H3068 EDS shall be revealed H1540 , and all H3605 CMS flesh H1320 NMS shall see H7200 it together H3162 ADV-3MS : for H3588 CONJ the mouth H6310 of the LORD H3068 EDS hath spoken H1696 it .
6 The voice H6963 CMS said H559 , Cry H7121 VQI2MP . And he said H559 , What H4100 IGAT shall I cry H7121 ? All H3605 NMS flesh H1320 D-NMS is grass H2682 NMS , and all H3605 NMS the goodliness H2617 thereof is as the flower H6731 K-NMS of the field H7704 D-NMS :
7 The grass H2682 NMS withereth H3001 , the flower H6731 fadeth H5034 : because H3588 CONJ the spirit H7307 NFS of the LORD H3068 EDS bloweth H5380 upon it : surely H403 ADV the people H5971 D-NMS is grass H2682 NMS .
8 The grass H2682 NMS withereth H3001 , the flower H6731 fadeth H5034 : but the word H1697 W-CMS of our God H430 shall stand H6965 VQY3MS forever H5769 .
9 O Zion H6726 , that bringest good tidings H1319 , get thee up H5927 into H5921 PREP the high H1364 mountain H2022 CMS ; O Jerusalem H3389 , that bringest good tidings H1319 , lift up H7311 thy voice H6963 with strength H3581 ; lift it up H7311 , be not afraid H3372 ; say H559 VQI2FS unto the cities H5892 of Judah H3063 , Behold H2009 IJEC your God H430 !
10 Behold H2009 IJEC , the Lord H136 EDS GOD H3069 will come H935 VQY3MS with strong H2389 hand , and his arm H2220 shall rule H4910 for him : behold H2009 IJEC , his reward H7939 is with H854 PREP-3MS him , and his work H6468 before H6440 him .
11 He shall feed H7462 his flock H5739 like a shepherd H7462 : he shall gather H6908 the lambs H2922 with his arm H2220 , and carry H5375 VQY3MS them in his bosom H2436 , and shall gently lead H5095 those that are with young H5763 .
12 Who H4310 IPRO hath measured H4058 the waters H4325 OMD in the hollow of his hand H8168 , and meted out H8505 VPQ3MS heaven H8064 W-NMP with the span H2239 , and comprehended H3557 the dust H6083 CMS of the earth H776 D-GFS in a measure H7991 , and weighed H8254 the mountains H2022 NMP in scales H6425 , and the hills H1389 in a balance H3976 ?
13 Who H4310 IPRO hath directed H8505 the Spirit H7307 NFS of the LORD H3068 EDS , or being his counselor H6098 hath taught H3045 him ?
14 With whom H4310 IPRO took he counsel H3289 , and who instructed H995 him , and taught H3925 him in the path H734 of judgment H4941 NMS , and taught H3925 him knowledge H1847 NFS , and showed H3045 to him the way H1870 W-NMS of understanding H8394 ?
15 Behold H2005 IJEC , the nations H1471 NMP are as a drop H4752 of a bucket H1805 , and are counted H2803 as the small dust H7834 of the balance H3976 : behold H2005 IJEC , he taketh up H5190 the isles H339 as a very little thing H1851 .
16 And Lebanon H3844 is not H369 NPAR sufficient H1767 to burn H1197 , nor H369 NPAR the beasts H2416 W-CFS-3MS thereof sufficient H1767 for a burnt offering H5930 .
17 All H3605 NMS nations H1471 D-NMP before H5048 PREP-3MS him are as nothing H369 ; and they are counted H2803 VNQ3MP to him less than nothing H657 , and vanity H8414 .
18 To H413 W-PREP whom H4310 IPRO then will ye liken H1819 God H410 EDS ? or what H4100 W-IPRO likeness H1823 will ye compare H6186 unto him ?
19 The workman H2796 melteth H5258 a graven image H6459 , and the goldsmith H6884 spreadeth it over H7554 with gold H2091 , and casteth H6884 silver H3701 NMS chains H7577 .
20 He that is so impoverished H5533 that he hath no oblation H8641 chooseth H977 a tree H6086 NMS that will not H3808 ADV rot H7537 ; he seeketh H1245 unto him a cunning H2450 AMS workman H2796 to prepare H3559 a graven image H6459 , that shall not H3808 NADV be moved H4131 VNY3MS .
21 Have ye not H3808 D-NPAR known H3045 ? have ye not H3808 D-NPAR heard H8085 ? hath it not H3808 D-NPAR been told H5046 you from the beginning H7218 ? have ye not H3808 D-NPAR understood H995 from the foundations H4146 of the earth H776 D-GFS ?
22 It is he that sitteth H3427 D-VQPMS upon H5921 PREP the circle H2329 of the earth H776 D-GFS , and the inhabitants H3427 thereof are as grasshoppers H2284 ; that stretcheth out H5186 the heavens H8064 NMP as a curtain H1852 , and spreadeth them out H4969 as a tent H168 to dwell in H3427 :
23 That bringeth H5414 the princes H7336 to nothing H369 ; he maketh H6213 VQQ3MS the judges H8199 of the earth H776 GFS as vanity H8414 .
24 Yea H637 CONJ , they shall not H1077 ADV be planted H5193 ; yea H637 CONJ , they shall not H1077 ADV be sown H2232 : yea H637 CONJ , their stock H1503 shall not H1077 ADV take root H8327 in the earth H776 B-NFS : and he shall also H1571 W-CONJ blow H5398 upon them , and they shall wither H3001 , and the whirlwind H5591 shall take them away H5375 as stubble H7179 .
25 To H413 W-PREP whom H4310 IPRO then will ye liken H1819 me , or shall I be equal H7737 ? saith H559 VQY3MS the Holy One H6918 AMS .
26 Lift up H5375 your eyes H5869 on high H4791 , and behold H7200 who H4310 IPRO hath created H1254 these H428 PMP things , that bringeth out H3318 their host H6635 by number H4557 : he calleth H7121 VQY3MS them all H3605 by names H8034 B-CMS by the greatness H7230 M-NMS of his might H202 , for that he is strong H533 W-JMS in power H3581 CMS ; not H3808 NADV one H376 NMS faileth H5737 .
27 Why H4100 L-IPRO sayest H559 VQY2MS thou , O Jacob H3290 , and speakest H1696 , O Israel H3478 , My way H1870 is hid H5641 from the LORD H3068 , and my judgment H4941 CMS-1MS is passed over H5674 VQY3MS from my God H430 ?
28 Hast thou not H3808 ADV known H3045 VQQ2MS ? hast thou not H3808 NADV heard H8085 VQQ2MS , that the everlasting H5769 NMS God H430 CDP , the LORD H3068 EDS , the Creator H1254 of the ends H7098 CFP of the earth H776 D-GFS , fainteth H3286 not H3808 NADV , neither H3808 W-NADV is weary H3021 ? there is no H369 NPAR searching H2714 NMS of his understanding H8394 .
29 He giveth H5414 VQPMS power H3581 CMS to the faint H3287 ; and to them that have no H369 might H202 he increaseth H7235 strength H6109 .
30 Even the youths H5288 NMP shall faint H3286 and be weary H3021 , and the young men H970 shall utterly fall H3782 :
31 But they that wait upon H6960 the LORD H3068 EDS shall renew H2498 their strength H3581 NMS ; they shall mount up H5927 with wings H83 as eagles H5404 ; they shall run H7323 VQY3MP , and not H3808 W-NPAR be weary H3021 ; and they shall walk H1980 , and not H3808 W-NPAR faint H3286 .
