1: Keep silenceH2790 before MeH0413 coastlands-H0339 and the peopleH3816 let renewH2498 [their] strength-H3581 let them come near-H5066 thenH0227 let them speak-H1696 togetherH3162 for judgmentH4941 let us come near.H7126

2: WhoH4310 raised upH5782 one from the east,H4217 who in righteousnessH6664 called himH7121 to his feet,H7272 who gaveH5414 before himH6440 the nationsH1471 and over kings?H4428 made [him] ruleH7287 who gave [them]H5414 as the dustH6083 [to] his sword,H2719 as stubbleH7179 drivenH5086 to His bow.H7198

3: Who pursued themH7291 [and] passedH5674 safely-H7965 by the wayH0734 with his feetH7272 notH3808 [that] he had gone.H0935

4: WhoH4310 has performedH6466 and done [it]H6213 CallingH7121 the generationsH1755 from the beginning?H7218 I [am]H0589 Yahweh,H3068 the first,H7223 and withH0853 the last-H0314 I [am]H0589 He.H1931

5: Saw [it]H7200 the coastlandsH0339 and feared-H3372 the endsH7098 of the earthH0776 were afraid,H2729 they drew near,H7126 and came.H0857

6: EveryoneH0376 -H0853 his neighbor-H7453 helpedH5826 and to his brother,H0251 saidH0559 Be of good courage.H2388

7: So encouragedH2388 the craftsmanH2796 -H0853 the goldsmith,H6884 He who smoothsH2505 [with] the hammerH6360 -H0853 [inspired] him who strikesH1986 the anvil,H6471 Saying,H0559 for the soldering,H1694 readyH2896 it [is]H1931 and he fastened itH2388 with pegs,H4548 notH3808 [That] it might totter.H4131

8: But you [are],H0859 Israel,H3478 My servant,H5650 JacobH3290 whomH0834 I have chosen,H0977 the descendantsH2233 of AbrahamH0085 My friend.H0157

9: WhomH0834 [You] I have takenH2388 from the endsH7098 of the earth,H0776 and from its farthest regionsH0678 calledH7121 and saidH0559 My servant-H5650 You [are]H0859 I have chosen youH0977 and notH3808 have cast you away.H3988

10: Not-H0408 fearH3372 forH3588 with youH5973 I [am]H0589 notH0408 Be dismayed-H8159 forH3588 I [am]H0589 your God.H0430 I will strengthen youH0553 Yes,H0637 I will help youH5826 Yes,H0637 I will uphold youH8551 with right handH3225 My righteous.H6664

11: Behold,H2005 shall be ashamedH0954 and disgraced-H3637 allH3605 those who were incensedH2734 they shall beH1961 as nothing-H0369 and shall perishH0006 those whoH0376 strive with you.H7379

12: You shall seek themH1245 and notH3808 find themH4672 Those who,H0376 contended with youH4695 shall beH1961 as nothing,H0369 and as a nonexistent thingH0657 Those whoH0376 war against you.H4421

13: ForH3588 IH0589 YahwehH3069 your GodH0430 will holdH2388 your right hand,H3225 SayingH0559 not-H0408 fearH3372 IH0589 will help you.H5826

14: Not,H0408 fear youH3372 wormH8438 Jacob,H3290 You menH4962 of Israel-H3478 IH0589 will help youH5826 saysH5002 Yahweh,H3068 and your Redeemer,H1350 the Holy oneH6918 of Israel.H3478

15: Behold,H2009 I will make youH7760 into a threshing sledgeH4173 sharpH2742 newH2319 withH1167 teeth-H6374 You shall threshH1758 the mountains,H2022 and beat [them] small,H1854 and the hillsH1389 like chaffH4671 make.H7760

16: You shall winnow themH2219 and the windH7307 shall carry them away,H5375 and the whirlwindH5591 shall scatterH6327 themH0853 and YouH0859 shall rejoiceH1523 in Yahweh,H3068 in the Holy oneH6918 of IsraelH3478 [And] glory.H1984

17: The poorH6041 and needyH0034 seekH1245 water,H4325 but [there is] none,H0369 their tonguesH3956 for thirst,H6772 failH5405 IH0589 YahwehH3068 will hear themH6030 [I] the GodH0430 of IsraelH3478 notH3808 will forsake them.H5800

18: I will openH6605 inH5921 desolate heights,H8205 riversH5104 and in the midstH8432 of the valleys-H1237 fountainsH4599 I will makeH7760 the wildernessH4057 a poolH0098 of water,H4325 and the landH0776 dryH6723 springsH4161 of water.H4325

19: I will plantH5414 in the wildernessH4057 the cedar,H0730 and the acacia tree,H7848 and the myrtle,H1918 and the tree-H6086 oilH8081 I will setH7760 in the desertH6160 the cypress tree,H1265 [and] the pine,H8410 and the box treeH8391 together-H3162

20: thatH4616 they may see,H7200 and know,H3045 and consider,H7760 and understandH7919 together,H3162 thatH3588 the handH3027 of YahwehH3068 has doneH6213 this,H2063 and the Holy oneH6918 of IsraelH3478 has created it.H1254

21: PresentH7126 your case,H7379 saysH0559 Yahweh-H3068 bring forthH5066 your strong [reasons]H6110 saysH0559 the KingH4428 of Jacob.H3290

22: Let them bring forth,H5066 and showH5046 -H0853 whatH0834 will happen-H7136 the former things,H7223 whatH4100 they [were]H2007 let them showH5046 that we may consider themH7760 that we may consider themH3820 and knowH3045 the latter end of themH0319 OrH0176 things to comeH0935 declare to us.H8085

23: ShowH5046 the things that are to comeH0857 hereafter,H0268 that we may knowH3045 thatH3588 gods-H0430 you [are]H0859 Yes,H0637 do good,H3190 or do evil,H7489 that we may be dismayed,H8159 and see [it]H7200 together.H3162

24: Indeed,H2005 you [are]H0859 nothing,H0369 and your work [is]H6467 nothing-H0659 [is] an abominationH8441 [He who] choosesH0977

25: I have raised up oneH5782 from the north,H6828 and he shall come-H0857 from the risingH4217 of the sunH8121 he shall callH7121 on My name-H8034 and he shall comeH0935 against princesH5461 as [though]H3644 mortar,H2563 and asH3644 the potterH3335 treadsH7429 clay.H2916

26: WhoH4310 has declaredH5046 from the beginning,H7218 that we may know?H3045 and former times,H6440 that we may say,H0559 [He is] righteous?H6662 surely,H0637 [there is] no oneH0369 who shows,H5046 surely,H0637 [there is] no oneH0369 who declares,H8085 surely,H0637 [there is] no oneH0369 who hearsH8085 your words.H0561

27: The first time [I said]H7223 to Zion,H6726 Look,H2009 there they areH2005 and to JerusalemH3389 one who brings good tidingsH1319 I will give.H5414

28: For I looked,H7200 and [there was] noH0369 man-H0376 and I looked among these,H0428 but [there was] noH0369 counselor,H3289 and who when I asked of themH7592 and could answerH7725 a word.H1697

29: Indeed,H2005 they [are] allH3605 worthless-H0205 nothing,H0657 their works [are]H4639 windH7307 and confusionH8414 their molded images [are].H5262
