¹ H8085 Hear [H8798]   H1004 ye this, O house H3290 of Jacob H7121 , which are called [H8737]   H8034 by the name H3478 of Israel H3318 , and are come forth [H8804]   H4325 out of the waters H3063 of Judah H7650 , which swear [H8737]   H8034 by the name H3068 of the LORD H2142 , and make mention [H8686]   H430 of the God H3478 of Israel H571 , but not in truth H6666 , nor in righteousness.

² H7121 For they call [H8738]   H6944 themselves of the holy H5892 city H5564 , and stay [H8738]   H430 themselves upon the God H3478 of Israel H3068 ; The LORD H6635 of hosts H8034 is his name.

³ H5046 I have declared [H8689]   H7223 the former things H227 from the beginning H3318 ; and they went forth [H8804]   H6310 out of my mouth H8085 , and I shewed [H8686]   H6213 them; I did [H8804]   H6597 them suddenly H935 , and they came to pass [H8799]  .

⁴ H1847 Because I knew H7186 that thou art obstinate H6203 , and thy neck H1270 is an iron H1517 sinew H4696 , and thy brow H5154 brass;

⁵ H227 I have even from the beginning H5046 declared [H8686]   H935 it to thee; before it came to pass [H8799]   H8085 I shewed [H8689]   H559 it thee: lest thou shouldest say [H8799]   H6090 , Mine idol H6213 hath done [H8804]   H6459 them, and my graven image H5262 , and my molten image H6680 , hath commanded [H8765]   them.

⁶ H8085 Thou hast heard [H8804]   H2372 , see [H8798]   H5046 all this; and will not ye declare [H8686]   H8085 it ? I have shewed [H8689]   H2319 thee new things H6258 from this time H5341 , even hidden things [H8803]   H3045 , and thou didst not know [H8804]   them.

⁷ H1254 They are created [H8738]   H6440 now, and not from the beginning; even before H3117 the day H8085 when thou heardest [H8804]   H559 them not; lest thou shouldest say [H8799]   H3045 , Behold, I knew [H8804]   them.

⁸ H8085 Yea, thou heardest [H8804]   H3045 not; yea, thou knewest [H8804]   H241 not; yea, from that time that thine ear H6605 was not opened [H8765]   H3045 : for I knew [H8804]   H898 that thou wouldest deal very [H8800]   H898 treacherously [H8799]   H7121 , and wast called [H8795]   H6586 a transgressor [H8802]   H990 from the womb.

⁹ H8034 For my name's H748 sake will I defer [H8686]   H639 mine anger H8416 , and for my praise H2413 will I refrain [H8799]   H3772 for thee, that I cut thee not off [H8687]  .

¹⁰ H6884 Behold, I have refined [H8804]   H3701 thee, but not with silver H977 ; I have chosen [H8804]   H3564 thee in the furnace H6040 of affliction.

¹¹ H6213 For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do [H8799]   H2490 it : for how should my name be polluted [H8735]   H5414 ? and I will not give [H8799]   H3519 my glory H312 unto another.

¹² H8085 Hearken [H8798]   H3290 unto me, O Jacob H3478 and Israel H7121 , my called [H8794]   H7223 ; I am he; I am the first H314 , I also am the last.

¹³ H3027 Mine hand H3245 also hath laid the foundation [H8804]   H776 of the earth H3225 , and my right hand H2946 hath spanned [H8765]   H8064 the heavens H7121 : when I call [H8802]   H5975 unto them, they stand up [H8799]   H3162 together.

¹⁴ H6908 All ye, assemble [H8734]   H8085 yourselves, and hear [H8798]   H5046 ; which among them hath declared [H8689]   H3068 these things ? The LORD H157 hath loved [H8804]   H6213 him: he will do [H8799]   H2656 his pleasure H894 on Babylon H2220 , and his arm H3778 shall be on the Chaldeans.

¹⁵ H1696 I, even I, have spoken [H8765]   H7121 ; yea, I have called [H8804]   H935 him: I have brought [H8689]   H1870 him, and he shall make his way H6743 prosperous [H8689]  .

¹⁶ H7126 Come [H8798]   H7126 ye near [H8798]   H8085 unto me, hear [H8798]   H1696 ye this; I have not spoken [H8765]   H5643 in secret H7218 from the beginning H6256 ; from the time H136 that it was, there am I: and now the Lord H3069 GOD H7307 , and his Spirit H7971 , hath sent [H8804]   me.

¹⁷ H559 Thus saith [H8804]   H3068 the LORD H1350 , thy Redeemer [H8802]   H6918 , the Holy One H3478 of Israel H3068 ; I am the LORD H430 thy God H3925 which teacheth [H8764]   H3276 thee to profit [H8687]   H1869 , which leadeth [H8688]   H1870 thee by the way H3212 that thou shouldest go [H8799]  .

¹⁸ H3863 O that H7181 thou hadst hearkened [H8689]   H4687 to my commandments H7965 ! then had thy peace H5104 been as a river H6666 , and thy righteousness H1530 as the waves H3220 of the sea:

¹⁹ H2233 Thy seed H2344 also had been as the sand H6631 , and the offspring H4578 of thy bowels H4579 like the gravel H8034 thereof; his name H3772 should not have been cut off [H8735]   H8045 nor destroyed [H8735]   H6440 from before me.

²⁰ H3318 Go ye forth [H8798]   H894 of Babylon H1272 , flee [H8798]   H3778 ye from the Chaldeans H6963 , with a voice H7440 of singing H5046 declare [H8685]   H8085 ye, tell [H8685]   H3318 this, utter [H8685]   H7097 it even to the end H776 of the earth H559 ; say [H8798]   H3068 ye, The LORD H1350 hath redeemed [H8804]   H5650 his servant H3290 Jacob.

²¹ H6770 And they thirsted [H8804]   H3212 not when he led [H8689]   H2723 them through the deserts H4325 : he caused the waters H5140 to flow [H8689]   H6697 out of the rock H1234 for them: he clave [H8799]   H6697 the rock H4325 also, and the waters H2100 gushed out [H8799]  .

²² H7965 There is no peace H559 , saith [H8804]   H3068 the LORD H7563 , unto the wicked.
