Isaiah 48:1 (NIRV) New International Reader's Version

1 People of Jacob, listen to me. You are called by the name of Israel. You come from the family line of Judah. You take oaths in the name of the Lord. You pray to Israel's God. But you aren't honest. You don't mean what you say.
2 You call yourselves citizens of the holy city of Jerusalem. You say you depend on Israel's God. His name is The Lord Who Rules Over All. He says,
3 "Long ago I told you ahead of time what would happen. I announced it and made it known. Then all of a sudden I acted. And those things took place.
4 I knew how stubborn you were. Your neck was as unbending as iron. Your forehead was as hard as bronze.
5 So I told you those things long ago. Before they happened I announced them to you. I did it so you would not be able to say, 'My statues of gods did them. My wooden and metal gods made them happen.'
6 You have heard me tell you those things. Think about all of them. Won't you admit they have taken place? "From now on I will tell you about new things that will happen. I have not made them known to you before.
7 Those things are taking place right now. They did not happen long ago. You have not heard of them before today. So you can't say, 'Oh, yes. I already knew about them.'
8 You have not heard or understood what I said. Your ears have been plugged up for a long time. I knew very well that you would turn against me. From the day you were born, you have refused to obey me.
9 For the honor of my own name I put off showing my anger. I hold it back from you so people will continue to praise me. I do not want to destroy you.
10 I have put you to the test in the furnace of suffering. I have tried to make you pure. But I did not use as much heat as it takes to make silver pure.
11 I tried to purify you for my own honor. I did it for the honor of my name. How can I let myself be dishonored? I will not give up my glory to any other god.
12 "Family of Jacob, listen to me. People of Israel, pay attention. I have chosen you. I am the First and the Last. I am the Lord.
13 With my own hand I laid the foundations of the earth. With my right hand I spread out the heavens. When I send for them, they come and stand ready to obey me.
14 "People of Israel, come together and listen to me. What other god has said ahead of time that certain things would happen? I have chosen Cyrus. He will carry out my plans against Babylon. He will use his powerful arm against the Babylonians.
15 I myself have spoken. I have chosen him to carry out my purpose. I will bring him to Babylon. He will succeed in what I tell him to do.
16 "Come close and listen to me. "From the first time I said Cyrus was coming, I did not do it in secret. When he comes, I will be there." The Lord and King has filled me with his Spirit. People of Israel, he has sent me to you.
17 The Lord is the Holy One of Israel. He sets his people free. He says to them, "I am the Lord your God. I teach you what is best for you. I direct you in the way you should go.
18 I wish you would pay attention to my commands. If you did, peace would flow over you like a river. Holiness would sweep over you like the waves of the ocean.
19 Your family would be like the sand. Your children after you would be as many as the grains of sand by the sea. It would be impossible to count them. I would always accept the members of your family line. They would never be cut off or destroyed."
20 People of Israel, leave Babylon! Hurry up and get away from the Babylonians! Here is what I want you to announce. Make it known with shouts of joy. Send the news out from one end of the earth to the other. Say, "The Lord has set Jacob's people free. They are his servants."
21 They didn't get thirsty when he led them through the deserts. He made water flow out of the rock for them. He broke the rock open, and water came out of it.
22 "There is no peace for those who are evil," says the Lord.
1 Hear H8085 VQI2MP ye this H2063 DPRO , O house H1004 of Jacob H3290 , which are called H7121 by the name H8034 B-CMS of Israel H3478 , and are come forth H3318 out of the waters H4325 of Judah H3063 , which swear H7650 by the name H8034 B-CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS , and make mention H2142 of the God H430 of Israel H3478 , but not H3808 NADV in truth H571 , nor H3808 W-NADV in righteousness H6666 .
2 For H3588 CONJ they call themselves H7121 of the holy H6944 city H5892 M-NFS , and stay themselves H5564 upon H5921 W-PREP the God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 ; The LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 is his name H8034 CMS-3MS .
3 I have declared H5046 VHQ1MS the former things H7223 D-AFP from the beginning H227 ; and they went forth H3318 VQQ3MP out of my mouth H6310 , and I showed H8085 them ; I did H6213 VQQ1MS them suddenly H6597 ADV , and they came to pass H935 .
4 Because I knew H3045 that H3588 CONJ thou H859 PPRO-2MS art obstinate H7186 , and thy neck H6203 is an iron H1270 NMS sinew H1517 , and thy brow H4696 brass H5154 NFS ;
5 I have even from the beginning H227 declared H5046 it to thee ; before H2962 B-ADV it came to pass H935 VQY2MS I showed H8085 it thee : lest H6435 CONJ 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 Thou hast heard H8085 , see H2372 all H3605 this ; and will not H3808 W-NPAR ye H859 W-PPRO-2MP declare H5046 it ? I have showed H8085 thee new things H2319 from this time H6258 , even hidden things H5341 , and thou didst not H3808 W-NPAR know H3045 them .
7 They are created H1254 now H6258 ADV , and not H3808 W-NPAR from the beginning H227 ; even before H6440 WL-CMP the day H3117 NMS when thou heardest H8085 them not H3808 W-NPAR ; lest H6435 CONJ thou shouldest say H559 , Behold H2009 IJEC , I knew H3045 them .
8 Yea H1571 CONJ , thou heardest H8085 VQQ2MS not H3808 ADV ; yea H1571 CONJ , thou knewest H3045 VQQ2MS not H3808 NADV ; yea H1571 CONJ , from that time H227 that thine ear H241 CFS-2MS was not H3808 NADV opened H6605 : for H3588 CONJ I knew H3045 VQQ2MS that thou wouldest deal very treacherously H898 , and wast called H7121 a transgressor H6586 from the womb H990 M-CFS .
9 For my name\'s sake H4616 L-CONJ will I defer H748 VHY1MS mine anger H639 CMS-1MS , and for my praise H8416 will I refrain H2413 for thee , that I cut thee not off H3772 .
10 Behold H2009 IJEC , I have refined H6884 thee , but not H3808 W-NPAR with silver H3701 ; I have chosen H977 thee in the furnace H3564 of affliction H6040 NMS .
11 For mine own sake H4616 , even for mine own sake H4616 , will I do H6213 it : for H3588 CONJ how H349 should my name be polluted H2490 ? and I will not H3808 ADV give H5414 my glory H3519 unto another H312 L-AMS .
12 Hearken H8085 VQI2MS unto H413 PREP-1MS me , O Jacob H3290 and Israel H3478 , my called H7121 ; I H589 PPRO-1MS am he H1931 PPRO-3MS ; I H589 PPRO-1MS am the first H7223 , I H589 PPRO-1MS also H637 CONJ am the last H314 .
13 Mine hand H3027 CFS-1MS also H637 CONJ hath laid the foundation H3245 of the earth H776 GFS , and my right hand H3225 hath spanned H2946 the heavens H8064 NMS : when I H589 PPRO-1MS call H7121 VQPMS unto H413 PREP-3MP them , they stand up H5975 together H3162 ADV .
14 All H3605 ye , assemble yourselves H6908 , and hear H8085 ; which H4310 IPRO among them hath declared H5046 VHQ3MS these H428 PMP things ? The LORD H3068 EDS hath loved H157 him : he will do H6213 VQY3MS his pleasure H2656 CMS-3MS on Babylon H894 , and his arm H2220 shall be on the Chaldeans H3778 LMP .
15 I H589 PPRO-1MS , even I H589 PPRO-1MS , have spoken H1696 VPQ1MS ; yea H637 CONJ , I have called H7121 him : I have brought H935 him , and he shall make his way H1870 prosperous H6743 .
16 Come ye near H7126 unto H413 PREP-1MS me , hear H8085 VQI2MP ye this H2063 DPRO ; I have not H3808 NADV spoken H1696 VPQ1MS in secret H5643 BD-NMS from the beginning H7218 ; from the time H6256 that it was H1961 , there H8033 ADV am I H589 PPRO-1MS : and now H6258 W-ADV the Lord H136 EDS GOD H3069 , and his Spirit H7307 , hath sent H7971 me .
17 Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS , thy Redeemer H1350 , the Holy One H6918 of Israel H3478 ; I H589 PPRO-1MS am the Lord H3068 EDS thy God H430 CMP-2MS which teacheth H3925 thee to profit H3276 , which leadeth H1869 thee by the way H1870 B-NMS that thou shouldest go H1980 .
18 O that H3863 thou hadst hearkened H7181 to my commandments H4687 ! then had thy peace H7965 been H1961 W-VQY3MS as a river H5104 , and thy righteousness H6666 as the waves H1530 of the sea H3220 D-NMS :
19 Thy seed H2233 CMS-2MS also had been H1961 W-VQY3MS as the sand H2344 , and the offspring H6631 of thy bowels H4578 like the gravel H4579 thereof ; his name H8034 CMS-3MS should not H3808 ADV have been cut off H3772 VNI3MS nor H3808 NADV destroyed H8045 from before H6440 me .
20 Go ye forth H3318 of Babylon H894 , flee H1272 ye from the Chaldeans H3778 , with a voice H6963 B-NMS of singing H7440 declare H5046 ye , tell H8085 this H2063 DPRO , utter H3318 it even to H5704 PREP the end H7097 of the earth H776 D-GFS ; say H559 ye , The LORD H3068 EDS hath redeemed H1350 his servant H5650 Jacob H3290 .
21 And they thirsted H6770 not H3808 W-NPAR when he led H1980 them through the deserts H2723 : he caused the waters H4325 OMD to flow H5140 out of the rock H6697 for them : he cleaved H1234 the rock H6697 NMS also , and the waters H4325 OMD gushed out H2100 .
22 There is no H369 NPAR peace H7965 NMS , saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS , unto the wicked H7563 .
