1: HearH8085 this,H2063 houseH1004 of Jacob,H3290 who are calledH7121 by the nameH8034 of Israel,H3478 and from the wellspringsH4325 of Judah,H3063 have come forthH3318 who swearH7650 by the nameH8034 of Yahweh,H3068 and of the GodH0430 of Israel,H3478 make mentionH2142 [But] notH3808 in truth,H0571 orH3808 in righteousness.H6666

2: ForH3588 after city,H5892 the holyH6944 they call themselvesH7121 and onH5921 the GodH0430 of Israel-H3478 leanH5564 YahwehH3068 of hostsH6635 [is] His name.H8034

3: The former thingsH7223 from then-H0227 I have declaredH5046 and from My mouth,H6310 they went forthH3318 and I caused them to hear itH8085 suddenly,H6597 I did [them]H6213 and they came to pass.H0935

4: Because I knewH1847 thatH3588 obstinate,H7186 you [were]H0859 and sinew,H1517 an ironH1270 your neck [was]H6203 and your browH4696 bronze-H5154

5: and Even I have declared [it]H5046 from thenH0227 BeforeH2962 it came to passH0935 I proclaimed [it] to youH8085 lestH6435 you should say,H0559 My idolH6091 has done themH6213 and my carved image,H6459 and my molded image,H5262 have commanded them.H6680

6: You have heard,H8085 SeeH2372 all thisH3605 and youH0859 will notH3808 declare [it]H5046 I have made you hearH8085 new thingsH2319 from this time,H6258 and Even hidden things,H5341 and notH3808 you did know them.H3045

7: Now,H6258 they are createdH1254 and notH3808 from then-H0227 and beforeH6440 this dayH3117 and not-H3808 you have heard themH8085 lestH6435 you should say,H0559 of course,H2009 I knew them.H3045

8: Surely,H1571 not-H3808 you did hearH8085 surely,H1571 not-H3808 you did knowH3045 surely,H1571 from long agoH0227 notH3808 was opened,H6605 your earH0241 forH3588 I knewH3045 veryH0901 that you would deal treacherously,H0898 and a transgressorH6586 from the wombH0990 were calledH7121

9: For sakeH4616 of My nameH8034 I will deferH0748 My anger,H0639 and [for] My praiseH8416 I will restrain itH2413 so that notH1115 I do cut you off.H3772

10: Behold,H2009 I have refined youH6884 but notH3808 as silver-H3701 I have tested youH0977 in the furnaceH3564 of affliction.H6040

11: For My own sakeH4616 for My own sake,H4616 I will do [it]H6213 forH3588 howH0349 should [My name] be profaned?H2490 and My gloryH3519 to another.H0312 NotH3808 I will give.H5414

12: ListenH8085 to MeH0413 JacobH3290 and Israel,H3478 My called-H7121 I [am]H0589 He-H1931 I [am]H0589 the First,H7223 alsoH0637 I [am]H0589 the Last.H0314

13: IndeedH0637 My handH3027 has laid the foundationH3245 of the earth,H0776 and My right handH3225 has stretched outH2946 the heavens-H8064 [when] callH7121 IH0589 to themH0413 they stand upH5975 together.H3162

14: Assemble yourselves,H6908 all of youH3605 and hear-H8085 whoH4310 has declaredH5046 -H0853 these [things]H0428 YahwehH3069 loves himH0157 He shall doH6213 His pleasureH2656 on Babylon,H0894 and His arm [shall be]H2220 [against] the Chaldeans.H3778

15: IH0589 [even] I,H0589 have spoken-H1696 Yes,H0637 I have called himH7121 I have brought himH0935 and will prosperH6743 his way.H1870

16: Come nearH7126 to MeH0413 hearH8085 this-H2063 notH3808 from the beginning-H7218 in secretH5643 I have spokenH1696 from the timeH6256 that it was,H1961 thereH8033 I [was]-H0589 nowH6258 the LordH0136 GOD,H3069 have sent MeH7971 and His Spirit,H7307

18: Oh thatH3863 you had heededH7181 My commandments!H4687 and would have beenH1961 like a river,H5104 your peaceH7965 and your righteousnessH6666 like the wavesH1530 of the sea.H3220

19: And would have beenH1961 like the sand,H2344 Your descendantsH2233 and the offspringH6631 of your bodyH4578 like the grains of sandH4579 notH3808 would have been cut offH3772 norH3808 destroyedH8045 His nameH8034 from before Me.H6440

20: Go forthH3318 from BabylonH0894 FleeH1272 from the ChaldeansH3778 with a voiceH6963 of singingH7440 DeclareH5046 proclaimH8085 this,H2063 Utter itH3318 toH5704 the endH7097 of the earth-H0776 SayH0559 has redeemedH1350 YahwehH3068 His servantH5650 Jacob.H3290

21: And notH3808 they did thirstH6770 through the deserts.H2723 When He led themH1980 the watersH4325 from the rockH6697 He caused to flowH5140 and He splitH1234 the rockH6697 and gushed outH2100 the waters.H4325

22: [There is] noH0369 peace,H7965 saysH0559 Yahweh,H3068 for the wicked.H7563
