1: Listen,H8085 coastlands,H0339 to MeH0413 and take heed,H7181 you peoples,H3816 from afar-H7350 YahwehH3068 from the womb-H0990 has called MeH7121 from the matrixH4578 of My motherH0517 He has made mentionH2142 of My name.H8034

2: And He has madeH7760 My mouthH6310 like a sword-H2719 sharpH2299 in the shadowH6738 of His handH3027 He has hidden HeH2244 and made MeH7760 a shaft-H2671 polishedH1305 in His quiverH0827 He has hidden Me.H5641

3: And He saidH0559 My servant,H5650 You [are]H0859 Israel,H3478 In WhomH0834 I will be glorified.H6286

4: And IH0589 said,H0559 in vain,H7385 I have laboredH3021 for nothing,H8414 and in vain-H1892 my strengthH3581 I have spentH3615 yet surelyH0403 my just reward [is]H4941 withH0854 Yahweh,H3068 and my workH6468 withH0854 my God.H0430

5: Now,H6258 saysH0559 YahwehH3069 who formed MeH3335 from the wombH0990 [to be] Servant,H5650 to bring backH7725 JacobH3290 to HimH0413 so that IsraelH3478 to HimH3808 is gathered,H0622 for I shall be gloriousH3513 in the eyesH5869 of YahwehH3069 and My GodH0430 shall beH1961 My strength.H5797

6: And indeed He says,H0559 it is too small a thingH7043 that You should beH1961 ServantH5650 to raise upH6965 -H0853 the tribesH7626 of Jacob,H3290 and the preserved ones ofH5336 Israel-H3478 to restoreH7725 and I will give YouH5414 as a light toH0216 the Gentiles,H1471 that You should beH1961 My salvationH3444 toH5704 the endsH7097 of the earth.H0776

7: ThusH3541 saysH0559 Yahweh,H3068 the RedeemerH1350 of Israel,H3478 their Holy one,H6918 to Him whom man despises,H0960 to him whoH5315 to Him whom abhors,H8581 the nationH1471 to the ServantH5650 of rulers,H4910 KingsH4428 shall seeH7200 and arise,H6965 PrincesH8269 and shall worship,H7812 becauseH4616 of YahwehH3068 whoH0834 is faithful,H0539 the Holy oneH6918 of Israel,H3478 and He has chosen You.H0977

8: ThusH3541 saysH0559 Yahweh,H3068 in timeH6256 an acceptableH7522 I have heard YouH6030 and in the dayH3117 of salvationH3444 I have helped YouH5826 and I will preserve YouH5341 and give YouH5414 as a covenant toH1285 the people,H5971 to restoreH6965 the earth,H0776 to cause them to inheritH5157 the heritages-H5159 desolate.H8074

9: That You may sayH0559 to the prisoners,H0631 go forth-H3318 to those who [are]H0834 in darkness,H2822 Show yourselves.H1540 AlongH5921 the roads,H1870 they shall feedH7462 and on allH3605 desolate heightsH8205 their pastures [shall be].H4830

10: NeitherH3808 they shall hungerH7456 norH3808 thirst-H6770 and neitherH3808 shall strike themH5221 heatH8273 nor sunH8121 forH3588 He who has mercy on themH7355 will lead themH5090 and Even byH5921 the springsH4002 of waterH4325 He will guide them.H5095

11: And I will makeH7760 eachH3605 of My mountainsH2022 a road,H1870 and My highwaysH4546 shall be elevated.H7311

12: Surely,H2009 theseH0428 from afar-H7350 shall comeH0935 and Look,H2009 theseH0428 from the northH6828 and the west-H3220 and theseH0428 from the landH0776 of the Sinites.H5515

13: Sing,H7442 heavens-H8064 and Be joyful,H1523 earth-H0776 and break outH6476 mountains!H2022 in singing,H7440 forH3588 has comfortedH5162 YahwehH3068 His people,H5971 and on His afflictedH6041 will have mercy.H7355

14: But said,H0559 ZionH6726 has forsaken meH5800 YahwehH3068 and my LordH0136 has forgotten me.H7911

15: Can forgetH7911 a womanH0802 her nursing child,H5764 and not have compassion onH7355 the sonH1121 of her womb?H0990 surely,H1571 theseH0428 may forget,H7911 and yet I willH0595 notH3808 forget you.H7911

16: See,H2005 onH5921 the palms [of My hands]-H3709 I have inscribed youH2710 Your walls [are]H2346 before MeH5048 continually.H8548

17: Shall make haste-H4116 Your sonsH1121 Your destroyersH2040 and those who laid you wasteH2717 from youH4480 shall go away.H3318

18: Lift upH5375 look around,H5439 your eyesH5869 and see-H7200 all theseH3605 gather together,H6908 [and] comeH0935 [As] live,H2416 IH0589 saysH5002 Yahweh,H3068 surelyH3588 with them all,H3605 as an ornament,H5716 You shall clothe yourselvesH3847 and bind them [on you]H7194 as a bride [does].H3618

19: ForH3588 your wasteH2723 and desolate places,H8074 and the landH0776 of your destruction,H2035 evenH3588 nowH6258 will be too smallH3334 for the inhabitants,H3427 and will be far awayH7368 those who swallowed you up.H1104

20: AgainH5750 will sayH0559 in your ears,H0241 the sonsH1121 you will have after you have lost the others,H7923 too smallH6862 the place [is]H4725 Give a placeH5066 and where I may dwell.H3427

21: And you will sayH0559 in your heart,H3824 whoH4310 has begottenH3205 -H0853 these,H0428 since IH0589 have lost my childrenH7921 and am barren,H1565 a captiveH1473 and wandering to and fro?H5493 and these?H0428 whoH4310 has brought upH1431 there,H2005 IH0589 was leftH7604 alone-H0905 [But] these,H0428 whereH0375 [were] they.H1992

22: ThusH3541 saysH0559 the LordH0136 GOD,H3069 behold,H2009 I will lift in an oathH5375 toH0413 the nations,H1471 My handH3027 and forH0413 the peoples-H5971 set upH7311 My standardH5251 and they shall bringH0935 your sonsH1121 in [their] arms,H2684 and your daughtersH1323 onH5921 [their] shouldersH3802 shall be carried.H5375

23: And shall beH1961 KingsH4428 your foster fathers,H0539 and their queensH8282 your nursing mothers.H3243 With [their] facesH0639 to the earth,H0776 they shall bow downH7812 and the dustH6083 of your feet-H7272 lick upH3897 and you will knowH3045 thatH3588 I [am]H0589 Yahweh-H3068 forH0834 notH3808 they shall be ashamedH0954 who wait for Me.H6960

24: Shall be takenH3947 from the mighty,H1368 the preyH4455 OrH0518 the captivesH7628 of the righteousH6662 be delivered?H4422

25: butH3588 thusH3541 saysH0559 Yahweh,H3068 EvenH1571 the captivesH7628 of the mightyH1368 shall be taken away,H3947 and the preyH4455 of the terribleH6184 be delivered-H4422 forH0854 with him who contends with youH3401 IH0595 will contendH7378 andH0853 your childrenH1121 IH0595 will save.H3467

26: And I will feedH0398 -H0853 those who oppress youH3238 -H0853 with their own flesh-H1320 and as with sweet wine-H6071 with their own blood,H1818 they shall be drunkH7937 and shall knowH3045 allH3605 fleshH1320 thatH3588 I [am]H0589 YahwehH3068 your SaviorH3467 and your Redeemer,H1350 the Mighty oneH0046 of Jacob.H3290
