Isaiah 44:1 (NASB) New American Standard Bible

1 Hear then, O Jacob, my servant, Israel, whom I have chosen.
2 Thus says the LORD who made you, your help, who formed you from the womb: Fear not, O Jacob, my servant, the darling whom I have chosen.
3 I will pour out water upon the thirsty ground, and streams upon the dry land; I will pour out my spirit upon your offspring, and my blessing upon your descendants.
4 They shall spring up amid the verdure like poplars beside the flowing waters.
5 One shall say, "I am the LORD'S," another shall be named after Jacob, And this one shall write on his hand, "The LORD'S," and Israel shall be his surname.
6 Thus says the LORD, Israel's King and redeemer, the LORD of hosts: I am the first and I am the last; there is no God but me.
7 Who is like me? Let him stand up and speak, make it evident, and confront me with it. Who of old announced future events? Let them foretell to us the things to come.
8 Fear not, be not troubled: did I not announce and foretell it long ago? You are my witnesses! Is there a God or any Rock besides me?
9 Idol makers all amount to nothing, and their precious works are of no avail, as they themselves give witness. To their shame, they neither see nor know anything; and they are more deaf than men are.
10 Indeed, all the associates of anyone who forms a god, or casts an idol to no purpose, will be put to shame;
11 they will all assemble and stand forth, to be reduced to fear and shame.
12 The smith fashions an iron image, works it over the coals, shapes it with hammers, and forges it with his strong arm. He is hungry and weak, drinks no water and becomes exhausted.
13 The carpenter stretches a line and marks with a stylus the outline of an idol. He shapes it with a plane and measures it off with a compass, making it like a man in appearance and dignity, to occupy a shrine.
14 He cuts down cedars, takes a holm or an oak, and lays hold of other trees of the forest, which the Lord had planted and the rain made grow
15 to serve man for fuel. With a part of their wood he warms himself, or makes a fire for baking bread; but with another part he makes a god which he adores, an idol which he worships.
16 Half of it he burns in the fire, and on its embers he roasts his meat; he eats what he has roasted until he is full, and then warms himself and says, "Ah! I am warm, I feel the fire."
17 Of what remains he makes a god, his idol, and prostrate before it in worship, he implores it, "Rescue me, for you are my god."
18 The idols have neither knowledge nor reason; their eyes are coated so that they cannot see, and their hearts so that they cannot understand.
19 Yet he does not reflect, nor have the intelligence and sense to say, "Half of the wood I burned in the fire, and on its embers I baked bread and roasted meat which I ate. Shall I then make an abomination out of the rest, or worship a block of wood?"
20 He is chasing ashes-- a thing that cannot save itself when the flame consumes it; yet he does not say, "Is not this thing in my right hand a fraud?"
21 Remember this, O Jacob, you, O Israel, who are my servant! I formed you to be a servant to me; O Israel, by me you shall never be forgotten:
22 I have brushed away your offenses like a cloud, your sins like a mist; return to me, for I have redeemed you.
23 Raise a glad cry, you heavens: the LORD has done this; shout, you depths of the earth. Break forth, you mountains, into song, you forest, with all your trees. For the LORD has redeemed Jacob, and shows his glory through Israel.
24 Thus says the LORD, your redeemer, who formed you from the womb: I am the LORD, who made all things, who alone stretched out the heavens; when I spread out the earth, who was with me?
25 It is I who bring to nought the omens of liars, who make fools of diviners; I turn wise men back and make their knowledge foolish.
26 It is I who confirm the words of my servants, I carry out the plan announced by my messengers; I say to Jerusalem: Be inhabited; to the cities of Judah: Be rebuilt; I will raise up their ruins.
27 It is I who said to the deep: Be dry; I will dry up your wellsprings.
28 I say of Cyrus: My shepherd, who fulfills my every wish; He shall say of Jerusalem, "Let her be rebuilt," and of the temple, "Let its foundations be laid."
1 Yet now H6258 W-ADV hear H8085 VQI2MS , O Jacob H3290 my servant H5650 CMS-1MS ; and Israel H3478 , whom I have chosen H977 :
2 Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS that made H6213 thee , and formed H3335 thee from the womb H990 M-CFS , which will help H5826 thee ; Fear H3372 not H408 NPAR , O Jacob H3290 , my servant H5650 CMS-1MS ; and thou , Jesurun H3484 , whom I have chosen H977 .
3 For H3588 CONJ I will pour H3332 water H4325 OMD upon H5921 PREP him that is thirsty H6771 , and floods H5140 upon H5921 PREP the dry ground H3004 : I will pour H3332 my spirit H7307 CFS-1MS upon H5921 PREP thy seed H2233 CMS-2MS , and my blessing H1293 upon H5921 PREP thine offspring H6631 :
4 And they shall spring up H6779 as among H996 the grass H2682 NMS , as willows H6155 by H5921 PREP the water H4325 NMP courses H2988 .
5 One H2088 DPRO shall say H559 VQY3MS , I H589 PPRO-1MS am the LORD H3068 L-EDS \'s ; and another H2088 W-PMS shall call H7121 VQY3MS himself by the name H8034 of Jacob H3290 ; and another H2088 W-PMS shall subscribe H3789 with his hand H3027 CFS-3MS unto the LORD H3068 L-EDS , and surname H3655 himself by the name H8034 of Israel H3478 .
6 Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS the King H4428 NMS of Israel H3478 , and his redeemer H1350 the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 ; I H589 PPRO-1MS am the first H7223 , and I H589 PPRO-1MS am the last H314 ; and beside H1107 me there is no H369 NPAR God H430 NAME-4MP .
7 And who H4310 W-IGAT , as I , shall call H7121 VQY3MS , and shall declare H5046 it , and set it in order H6186 for me , since I appointed H7760 the ancient H5769 NMS people H5971 NMS ? and the things that are coming H857 , and shall come H935 , let them show H5046 VHY3MP unto them .
8 Fear H6342 ye not H408 ADV , neither H408 ADV be afraid H7297 : have not H3808 I-NADV I told H8085 thee from that time H227 , and have declared H5046 it ? ye H859 W-PPRO-2MP are even my witnesses H5707 . Is there H3426 I-ADV a God H433 NAME-4MS beside H1107 me ? yea , there is no H369 W-NPAR God H6697 NMS ; I know H3045 not H1077 ADV any .
9 They that make H3335 a graven image H6459 are all H3605 CMS-3MP of them vanity H8414 NMS ; and their delectable things H2530 shall not H1077 ADV profit H3276 ; and they H1992 PPRO-3MP are their own witnesses H5707 ; they see H7200 VQY3MP not H1077 ADV , nor H1077 know H3045 ; that H4616 L-CONJ they may be ashamed H954 .
10 Who H4310 IPRO hath formed H3335 a god H410 EDS , or molten H5258 a graven image H6459 that is profitable H3276 for nothing H1115 L-NPAR ?
11 Behold H2005 IJEC , all H3605 NMS his fellows H2270 shall be ashamed H954 : and the workmen H2796 , they H1992 PPRO-3MP are of men H120 : let them all H3605 NMS be gathered together H6908 , let them stand up H5975 ; yet they shall fear H6342 , and they shall be ashamed H954 together H3162 ADV .
12 The blacksmith H2796 with the tongs H4621 both worketh H6466 in the coals H6352 , and fashioneth H3335 it with hammers H4717 , and worketh H6466 it with the strength H3581 CMS-3MS of his arms H2220 : yea H1571 CONJ , he is hungry H7456 AMS , and his strength H3581 CMS faileth H369 W-NPAR : he drinketh H8354 no H3808 NADV water H4325 OMD , and is faint H3286 .
13 The carpenter H2796 stretcheth out H5186 VQQ3MS his rule H6957 ; he marketh it out H8388 with a line H8279 ; he fitteth H6213 it with planes H4741 , and he marketh it out H8388 with the compass H4230 , and maketh H6213 it after the figure H8403 of a man H376 NMS , according to the beauty H8597 of a man H120 NMS ; that it may remain H3427 L-VQFC in the house H1004 .
14 He heweth him down H3772 cedars H730 , and taketh H3947 W-VQY3MS the cypress H8645 and the oak H437 , which he strengtheneth H553 for himself among the trees H6086 of the forest H3293 : he planteth H5193 an ash H766 , and the rain H1653 W-CMS doth nourish H1431 it .
15 Then shall it be H1961 W-VQQ3MS for a man H120 L-CMS to burn H1197 : for he will take H3947 W-VQY3MS thereof H4480 , and warm H2552 himself ; yea H637 CONJ , he kindleth H5400 it , and baketh H644 bread H3899 NMS ; yea H637 CONJ , he maketh H6466 VQY3MS a god H410 EDS , and worshipeth H7812 it ; he maketh H6213 VQQ3MS-3MS it a graven image H6459 , and falleth down H5456 thereto .
16 He burneth H8313 part H2677 thereof in H1119 PREP the fire H784 CMS ; with H5921 PREP part H2677 thereof he eateth H398 VQY3MS flesh H1320 NMS ; he roasteth H6740 roast H6748 , and is satisfied H7646 : yea H637 CONJ , he warmeth H2552 himself , and saith H559 , Aha H1889 IJEC , I am warm H2552 , I have seen H7200 VQQ1MS the fire H217 :
17 And the residue H7611 thereof he maketh H6213 VQQ3MS a god H410 L-NMS , even his graven image H6459 : he falleth down H5456 unto it , and worshipeth H7812 it , and prayeth H6419 unto H413 PREP-3MS it , and saith H559 , Deliver H5337 me ; for H3588 CONJ thou H859 PPRO-2MS art my god H410 .
18 They have not H3808 NADV known H3045 VQQ3MP nor H3808 W-NADV understood H995 VQY3MP : for H3588 CONJ he hath shut H2902 their eyes H5869 , that they cannot see H7200 ; and their hearts H3820 , that they cannot understand H7919 .
19 And none H3808 W-NPAR considereth H7725 VHY3MS in H413 PREP his heart H3820 CMS-3MS , neither H3808 W-NPAR is there knowledge H1847 NFS nor H3808 W-NPAR understanding H8394 to say H559 L-VQFC , I have burned H8313 part H2677 of it in H1119 PREP the fire H784 CMS ; yea H637 W-CONJ , also I have baked H644 bread H3899 NMS upon H5921 PREP the coals H1513 thereof ; I have roasted H6740 flesh H1320 NMS , and eaten H398 it : and shall I make H6213 the residue H3499 thereof an abomination H8441 ? shall I fall down H5456 to the stock H944 of a tree H6086 NMS ?
20 He feedeth H7462 VQPMS on ashes H665 NMS : a deceived H2048 heart H3820 NMS hath turned him aside H5186 , that he cannot H3808 W-NPAR deliver H5337 his soul H5315 NMS-3MS , nor H3808 W-NPAR say H559 VQY3MS , Is there not H3808 W-NPAR a lie H8267 NMS in my right hand H3225 ?
21 Remember H2142 VQI2MS these H428 PMP , O Jacob H3290 and Israel H3478 ; for H3588 CONJ thou H859 PPRO-2FS art my servant H5650 CMS-1MS : I have formed H3335 thee ; thou H859 PPRO-2MS art my servant H5650 : O Israel H3478 , thou shalt not H3808 NADV be forgotten H5382 of me .
22 I have blotted out H4229 , as a thick cloud H5645 , thy transgressions H6588 , and , as a cloud H6051 , thy sins H2403 : return H7725 unto H413 PREP-1MS me ; for H3588 CONJ I have redeemed H1350 thee .
23 Sing H7442 , O ye heavens H8064 NMP ; for H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS hath done H6213 VQQ3MS it : shout H7321 , ye lower parts H8482 of the earth H776 NFS : break forth H6476 into singing H7440 , ye mountains H2022 NMP , O forest H3293 , and every H3605 W-CMS tree H6086 NMS therein : for H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS hath redeemed H1350 Jacob H3290 , and glorified himself H6286 in Israel H3478 .
24 Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS , thy redeemer H1350 , and he that formed H3335 thee from the womb H990 , I H595 PPRO-1MS am the LORD H3068 EDS that maketh H6213 VQPMS all H3605 NMS things ; that stretcheth forth H5186 VQPMS the heavens H8064 NMP alone H905 L-CMS-1MS ; that spreadeth abroad H7554 the earth H776 D-GFS by H854 myself ;
25 That frustrateth H6565 VHPMS the tokens H226 of the liars H907 , and maketh diviners mad H1984 ; that turneth H7725 VHPMS wise H2450 AMP men backward H268 , and maketh their knowledge foolish H5528 ;
26 That confirmeth H6965 VHPMS the word H1697 CMS of his servant H5650 , and performeth H7999 VHY3MS the counsel H6098 W-CFS of his messengers H4397 ; that saith H559 D-VQPMS to Jerusalem H3389 , Thou shalt be inhabited H3427 ; and to the cities H5892 of Judah H3063 , Ye shall be built H1129 , and I will raise up H6965 the decayed places H2723 thereof :
27 That saith H559 D-VQPMS to the deep H6683 , Be dry H2717 , and I will dry up H3001 thy rivers H5104 :
28 That saith H559 D-VQPMS of Cyrus H3566 , He is my shepherd H7462 , and shall perform H7999 all H3605 W-CMS my pleasure H2656 CMS-1MS : even saying H559 to Jerusalem H3389 , Thou shalt be built H1129 VNY2MS ; and to the temple H1964 , Thy foundation shall be laid H3245 .
