1: ComfortH5162 yes comfortH5162 My people,H5971 saysH0559 your God.H0430

2: SpeakH1696 uponH5921 comfortH3820 to Jerusalem,H3389 and cry outH7121 to herH0413 thatH3588 is ended,H4390 her warfareH6635 thatH3588 is pardoned,H7521 her iniquityH5771 forH3588 she has receivedH3947 from the handH3027 of YahwehH3069 DoubleH3718 for allH3605 her sins.H2403

3: The voiceH6963 of one cryingH7121 in the wilderness,H4057 PrepareH6437 the wayH1870 of Yahweh,H3068 Make straightH3474 in the desertH6160 a highwayH4546 for our God.H0430

4: EveryH3605 valleyH1516 shall be exalted,H5375 and everyH3605 mountainH2022 and hillH1389 brought low-H8213 and shall be madeH1961 the crooked placesH6121 straight,H4334 and the rough placesH7406 smooth-H1237

5: and shall be revealed,H1540 the gloryH3519 of YahwehH3068 and shall see [it]H7200 allH3605 fleshH1320 together-H3162 forH3588 the mouthH6310 of YahwehH3068 has spoken.H1696

6: The voiceH6963 said,H0559 Cry out.H7121 And he said,H0559 whatH4100 shall I cry?H7121 allH3605 flesh [is]H1320 grass,H2682 and allH3605 its loveliness [is]H2617 like the flowerH6731 of the field.H7704

7: Withers,H3001 the grassH2682 fades,H5034 the flowerH6731 becauseH3588 the breathH7307 of YahwehH3068 blowsH5380 surelyH0403 grassH2682 the people [are].H5971

8: Withers,H3001 the grassH2682 fades,H5034 the flowerH6731 but the wordH1697 of our GodH0430 standsH6965 forever.H5769

9: IntoH5921 the mountain-H2022 highH1364 Get upH5927 who bring good tidings,H1319 Zion,H6726 Lift upH7311 with strength-H3581 your voiceH6963 You who bring good tidings,H1319 Jerusalem,H3389 Lift [it] up,H7311 notH0408 be afraid-H3372 SayH0559 to the citiesH5892 of Judah,H3063 beholdH2009 your God!H0430

10: behold,H2009 the LordH0136 GODH3069 with a mighty [hand]H2389 shall comeH0935 and His armH2220 shall ruleH4910 behold,H2009 His reward [is]H7939 with HimH0854 and His workH6468 before Him.H6440

11: Like a shepherdH7462 His flockH5739 He will feed-H7462 with His arm,H2220 He will gatherH6908 the lambsH2922 and in His bosom,H2436 carry [them]H5375 those who are with youngH5763 [And] gently lead.H5095

12: WhoH4310 has measuredH4058 in the hollow of His hand,H8168 the watersH4325 and heavenH8064 with a span,H2239 MeasuredH8505 and calculatedH3557 in a measure,H7991 the dustH6083 of the earthH0776 and WeighedH8254 in scales,H6425 the mountainsH2022 and the hillsH1389 in a balance?H3976

13: whoH4310 has directedH8505 -H0853 the SpiritH7307 of Yahweh,H3068 OrH0376 [as] His counselorH6098 has taught Him.H3045

14: WithH0854 whomH4310 did He take counsel,H3289 and [who] instructed HimH0995 and taught HimH3925 in the pathH0734 of justice,H4941 and who taught HimH3925 knowledge,H1847 and the wayH1870 of understandingH8394 showed Him?H3045

15: behold,H2005 the nations [are]H1471 as a dropH4752 in a bucket,H1805 and as the small dust onH7834 the scales-H3976 are countedH2803 Look,H2005 the islesH0339 as a very small thingH1851 He lifts up.H5190

16: And LebanonH3844 [is] notH0369 sufficientH1767 to burn,H1197 and its beastsH2416 [are] notH0369 sufficient forH1767 a burnt offering.H5930

17: AllH3605 nationsH1471 [are] as nothing-H0369 before HimH5048 less than nothing,H0657 and worthlessH8414 and they are countedH2803

18: Then toH0413 whomH4310 will you likenH1819 God?H0410 Or whatH4100 likenessH1823 will you compareH6186

19: An image,H6459 moldsH5258 the workmanH2796 and the goldsmithH6884 with gold,H2091 overspreads itH7554 and chainsH7577 silverH3701 the silversmith casts.H6884

20: Whoever [is] too impoverishedH5533 for [such] a contributionH8641 a treeH6086 notH3808 [that] will rot-H7537 ChoosesH0977 a workmanH2796 skillfulH2450 He seeksH1245 to prepareH3559 a carved image,H6459 [that] notH3808 will totter.H4131

21: Have notH3808 you known?H3045 have notH3808 you heard?H8085 Has notH3808 it been told youH5046 from the beginning?H7218 have notH3808 you understoodH0995 from the foundationsH4146 of the earth?H0776

22: [it is] He who sitsH3427 aboveH5921 the circleH2329 of the earth,H0776 and its inhabitants [are]H3427 like grasshoppers-H2284 who stretches outH5186 like a curtain,H1852 the heavensH8064 and spreads them outH4969 like a tentH0168 to dwell in-H3427

23: He bringsH5414 the princesH7336 to nothing-H0369 the judgesH8199 of the earthH0776 uselessH8414 He makes.H6213

24: Scarcely,H0637 notH1077 shall they be planted-H5193 Scarcely,H0637 notH1077 shall they be sown,H2232 Scarcely,H0637 notH1077 shall take rootH8327 in the earth,H0776 their stockH1503 and when alsoH1571 He will blowH5398 and they will wither,H3001 and the whirlwindH5591 like stubbleH7179 will take them away.H5375

25: Then toH0413 whomH4310 will you liken MeH1819 Or [to whom] shall I be equal?H7737 saysH0559 the Holy one.H6918

26: Lift upH5375 on high,H4791 your eyesH5869 and seeH7200 whoH4310 has createdH1254 these [things]H0428 who brings outH3318 by number,H4557 their hostH6635 them allH3605 by nameH8034 He callsH7121 by greatH7230 His strength,H0202 and strongH0533 [His] power-H3581 oneH0376 NotH3808 is missing.H5737

27: WhyH4100 do you sayH0559 Jacob,H3290 and speak,H1696 Israel,H3478 is hiddenH5641 My wayH1870 from YahwehH3068 and by my GodH0430 my just claimH4941 is passed over.H5674

28: Have notH3808 you known?H3045 loH0518 notH3808 have you heard,H8085 the God,H0430 everlastingH5769 Yahweh,H3068 the CreatorH1254 of the endsH7098 of the earth,H0776 neither,H3808 faintsH3286 norH3808 is weary?H3021 notH0369 is unsearchableH2714 His understanding.H8394

29: He givesH5414 to the weak-H3287 powerH3581 and to noH0369 [those who have] strengthH0202 mightH6109 He increases.H7235

30: And Even shall faintH3286 the youthsH5288 and be weary,H3021 and the young menH0970 utterlyH3782 shall fall,H3782

31: but those who wait onH6960 YahwehH3068 shall renewH2498 [their] strength-H3581 they shall mount upH5927 with wingsH0083 like eagles-H5404 they shall run,H7323 and notH3808 be weary-H3021 they shall walk,H1980 and notH3808 faint.H3286
