1: And yet nowH6258 hear,H8085 JacobH3290 My servant-H5650 and Israel,H3478 I have chosen-H0977

2: ThusH3541 saysH0559 YahwehH3068 who made youH6213 and formed youH3335 from the womb,H0990 [who] will help youH5826 not,H0408 fearH3372 My servant-H5650 Jacob,H3290 and you Jeshurun,H3484 I have chosenH0977

3: ForH3588 I will pourH3332 waterH4325 onH5921 him who is thirsty,H6771 and floodsH5140 onH5921 the dry ground-H3004 I will pourH3332 My SpiritH7307 onH5921 your descendants,H2233 and My blessingH1293 onH5921 your offspring-H6631

4: and they will spring upH6779 amongH0996 the grass,H2682 Like willowsH6155 byH5921 coursesH2988 the watercourses.H4325

5: This [one]H2088 will say,H0559 Yahweh's'-H3068 I [am]H0589 and this [one]H2088 will call [himself]H7121 by the nameH8034 of Jacob-H3290 and this [one]H2088 will writeH3789 [with] his handH3027 Yahweh's,H3068 and by the nameH8034 of IsraelH3478 name [himself].H3655

6: ThusH3541 saysH0559 YahwehH3068 the KingH4428 of Israel,H3478 and his RedeemerH1350 YahwehH3068 of hosts-H6635 I [am]H0589 the First,H7223 and I [am]H0589 the Last-H0314 and Besides MeH1107 [there is] noH0369 God.H0430

7: And who,H4310 as I doH3644 can proclaim,H7121 and let him declare itH5046 and set it in orderH6186 Since I appointedH7760 the people?H5971 ancientH5769 and the things that are coming,H0857 andH0834 shall come,H0935 let them show theseH5046

8: Not,H0408 do fearH6342 norH0408 be afraid-H7297 have notH3808 from then [on],H0227 I told youH8085 and declared [it]H5046 and You [are]H0859 My witnesses.H5707 Is thereH3426 a GodH0433 besides MeH1107 and indeed [there is] no otherH0369 Rock-H6697 notH1077 I know [one].H3045

9: Those who makeH3335 an imageH6459 all of themH3605 [are] useless-H8414 and their precious thingsH2530 notH1077 shall profit-H3276 and their own witnesses-H5707 they [are]H1992 neither,H1077 they seeH7200 norH1077 know-H3045 thatH4616 they may be ashamed.H0954

10: WhoH4310 would formH3335 a god,H0410 or an imageH6459 moldH5258 nothingH1115 [That] profits him?H3276

11: surely,H2005 allH3605 his companionsH2270 would be ashamed-H0954 and the workmen,H2796 they [are]H1992 [mere] men.H0120 Let be gathered together,H6908 them allH3605 let them stand up-H5975 yet they shall fear,H6342 they shall be ashamedH0954 together.H3162

12: The blacksmithH2796 the blacksmithH1270 with the tongsH4621 and works oneH6466 in the coals,H6352 and with hammers,H4717 Fashions itH3335 and works itH6466 with his arms.H2220 The strengthH3581 of Even so,H1571 he is hungry,H7456 and [there is] no-H0369 strengthH3581 noH3808 He drinksH8354 water,H4325 and is faint.H3286

13: WoodworkerH2790 the craftsmanH6086 stretches outH5186 [his] rule-H6957 He marks one outH8388 with chalk-H8279 He fashions itH6213 with a plane,H4741 and with the compass,H4230 He marks it outH8388 and makes itH6213 like the figureH8403 of a man,H0376 According to the beautyH8597 of a man-H0120 that it may remainH3427 in the house.H1004

14: He cuts downH3772 cedars,H0730 and takesH3947 the cypressH8645 and the oak,H0437 and He secures [it]H0553 among the treesH6086 of the forest.H3293 He plantsH5193 a pine,H0766 and the rainH1653 nourishes [it].H1431

15: And it shall beH1961 for a manH0120 to burn,H1197 for he will take someH3947 of itH1992 and warm himselfH2552 Yes,H0637 he kindles [it]H5400 and bakesH0644 bread-H3899 indeed,H0637 he makesH6466 a god,H0410 and worships [it]H7812 He makes itH6213 a carved image,H6459 and falls downH5456

16: Half of itH2677 He burnsH8313 inH1119 the fire-H0784 withH5921 this halfH2677 meat-H1320 he eatsH0398 He roastsH6740 a roast,H6748 and is satisfied.H7646 Even,H0637 He warms [himself]H2552 and says,H0559 Ah,H1889 I am warm,H2552 I have seenH7200 the fire.H0217

17: And the rest of itH7611 into a god,H0410 he makesH6213 His carved image-H6459 He falls downH5456 before itH5456 and worships [it]H7812 and PraysH6419 to itH0413 and says,H0559 Deliver meH5337 forH3588 my godH0410 you [are].H0859

18: NotH3808 they do knowH3045 norH3808 understand,H0995 forH3588 He has shutH2902 so that they cannot see-H7200 their eyes,H5869 so that they cannot understandH7919 [And] their hearts.H3826

19: And no oneH3808 considersH7725 inH0413 his heart,H3820 norH3808 [is there] knowledgeH1847 norH3808 understandingH8394 to say,H0559 half of itH2677 I have burnedH8313 inH1119 the fire-H0784 and Yes,H0637 I have bakedH0644 onH5921 its coalsH1513 breadH3899 I have roastedH6740 meat,H1320 and eaten [it]H0398 and the rest of itH3499 an abomination?H8441 shall I makeH6213 before a blockH0944 of woodH6086 shall I fall down?H5456

20: He feedsH7462 on ashes-H0665 a heartH3820 deceivedH2048 has turned him aside,H5186 and cannotH3808 he deliverH5337 -H0853 his soul,H5315 norH3808 say,H0559 [is there] notH3808 a lieH8267 in my right hand?H3225

21: RememberH2142 these,H0428 JacobH3290 and Israel-H3478 forH3588 My servant-H5650 you [are]H0859 I have formed youH3335 servant,H5650 you [are]H0859 Israel,H3478 notH3808 you will be forgotten by Me.H5382

22: I have blotted out,H4229 like a [thick] cloud,H5645 your transgressions,H6588 and like a cloud,H6051 your sins-H2403 ReturnH7725 to MeH0413 forH3588 I have redeemed you.H1350

23: Sing,H7442 heavens-H8064 forH3588 has done [it]H6213 YahwehH3069 Shout,H7321 you lower partsH8482 of the earth-H0776 Break forthH6476 you mountains,H2022 into singing,H7440 forest,H3293 and everyH3605 treeH6086 forH3588 has redeemedH1350 YahwehH3069 Jacob,H3290 and in IsraelH3478 glorified Himself.H6286

24: ThusH3541 saysH0559 Yahweh,H3068 your Redeemer,H1350 and He who formed youH3335 from the womb,H0990 I [am]H0595 YahwehH3068 who makesH6213 all [things]H3605 who stretches outH5186 the heavensH8064 all alone-H0905 who spreads abroadH7554 the earthH0776 wasteH4325 by Myself.H0854

25: Who frustratesH6565 the signsH0226 of the babblers,H0907 and divinersH7080 drives mad-H1984 who turnsH7725 wise menH2450 backward,H0268 and their knowledgeH1847 makes foolishness-H5528

26: who confirmsH6965 the wordH1697 of His servant,H5650 and the counselH6098 of His messengers-H4397 performsH7999 who saysH0559 to Jerusalem,H3389 You shall be inhabited-H3427 and to the citiesH5892 of Judah,H3063 You shall be built,H1129 and her waste placesH2723 I will raise up.H6965

27: Who saysH0559 to the deep,H6683 Be dry,H2717 and your rivers-H5104 I will dry up.H3001

28: Who saysH0559 of Cyrus,H3566 [He is] My shepherdH7473 and allH3605 My pleasure-H2656 he shall performH7999 and SayingH0559 to Jerusalem,H3389 You shall be built-H1129 and to the temple,H1964 Your foundation shall be laid.H3245
