Isaiah 48:1 (NRSV) New Revised Standard Version

1 Hear this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and who came forth from the loins of Judah; who swear by the name of the LORD, and invoke the God of Israel, but not in truth or right.
2 For they call themselves after the holy city, and lean on the God of Israel; the LORD of hosts is his name.
3 The former things I declared long ago, they went out from my mouth and I made them known; then suddenly I did them and they came to pass.
4 Because I know that you are obstinate, and your neck is an iron sinew and your forehead brass,
5 I declared them to you from long ago, before they came to pass I announced them to you, so that you would not say, "My idol did them, my carved image and my cast image commanded them."
6 You have heard; now see all this; and will you not declare it? From this time forward I make you hear new things, hidden things that you have not known.
7 They are created now, not long ago; before today you have never heard of them, so that you could not say, "I already knew them."
8 You have never heard, you have never known, from of old your ear has not been opened. For I knew that you would deal very treacherously, and that from birth you were called a rebel.
9 For my name's sake I defer my anger, for the sake of my praise I restrain it for you, so that I may not cut you off.
10 See, I have refined you, but not like silver; I have tested you in the furnace of adversity.
11 For my own sake, for my own sake, I do it, for why should my name be profaned? My glory I will not give to another.
12 Listen to me, O Jacob, and Israel, whom I called: I am He; I am the first, and I am the last.
13 My hand laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand spread out the heavens; when I summon them, they stand at attention.
14 Assemble, all of you, and hear! Who among them has declared these things? The LORD loves him; he shall perform his purpose on Babylon, and his arm shall be against the Chaldeans.
15 I, even I, have spoken and called him, I have brought him, and he will prosper in his way.
16 Draw near to me, hear this! From the beginning I have not spoken in secret, from the time it came to be I have been there. And now the Lord GOD has sent me and his spirit.
17 Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am the LORD your God, who teaches you for your own good, who leads you in the way you should go.
18 O that you had paid attention to my commandments! Then your prosperity would have been like a river, and your success like the waves of the sea;
19 your offspring would have been like the sand, and your descendants like its grains; their name would never be cut off or destroyed from before me.
20 Go out from Babylon, flee from Chaldea, declare this with a shout of joy, proclaim it, send it forth to the end of the earth; say, "The LORD has redeemed his servant Jacob!"
21 They did not thirst when he led them through the deserts; he made water flow for them from the rock; he split open the rock and the water gushed out.
22 "There is no peace," says the LORD, "for the wicked."
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 .
