\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 1 Hear this, house of Jacob,
|
||
|
|
\q1 who are called by the name Israel, and have come from the sperm of Judah;
|
||
|
|
\q1 you who swear by the name of Yahweh and invoke the God of Israel,
|
||
|
|
\q1 but not sincerely nor in a righteous manner.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 2 For they call themselves people of the holy city
|
||
|
|
\q1 and trust in the God of Israel; Yahweh of hosts is his name.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\s5
|

|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 3 "I have declared the things from long ago; they came out from my mouth, and I made them known;
|
||
|
|
\q1 then suddenly I did them, and they came to pass.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 4 Because I knew that you were obstinate,
|
||
|
|
\q1 your neck muscles tight as iron, and your forehead like bronze,
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 5 therefore I declared these things to you beforehand; before they happened I informed you,
|
||
|
|
\q1 so you could not say, 'My idol has done them,' or 'my carved figure, or my cast metal figure has ordained these things.'
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\s5
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 6 You heard about these things; look at all this evidence; and you, will you not admit what I said is true? From now on, I am showing you new things,
|
||
|
|
hidden things that you have not known.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 7 Now, and not from previously, they come into being, and before today you have not heard about them,
|
||
|
|
\q1 so you will not be able to say, 'Yes, I knew about them.'
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\s5
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 8 You never heard; you did not know; these things were not unfolded to your ears beforehand.
|
||
|
|
\q1 For I knew that you have been
|
||
|
|
very deceitful, and that you have been a rebel from birth.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\s5
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 9 For the sake of my name I will defer my anger, and for my honor I will hold back from destroying you.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 10 Look, I refined you, but not as silver; I have purified you in the furnace of affliction.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 11 For my own sake, for my own sake I will act; for how can I allow my name to be dishonored?
|
||
|
|
\q1 I will not give my glory to anyone else.

\v 12 Listen to me, Jacob, and Israel, whom I called:
|
||
|
|
\q1 I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 13 Yes, my hand laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand spread out the heavens;
|
||
|
|
\q1 when I call to them, they stand up together.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

\s5

|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 14 Assemble yourselves, all of you, and listen; Who among you has announced these things?
|
||
|
|
\q1 Yahweh's ally will accomplish his purpose against Babylon. He will carry out Yahweh's will against the Chaldeans.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 15 I, I have spoken, yes, I have summoned him, I have brought him, and he will succeed.
|

\s5

|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 16 Come near to me, listen to this;
|
||
|
|
\q1 from the beginning I have not spoken in secret; when it happens, I am there;
|
||
|
|
\q1 and now the Lord Yahweh has sent me, and his Spirit."

\q1
|

|
|
\v 17 This is what Yahweh, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel says,
|
||
|
|
\q1 "I am Yahweh your God, who teaches you how to succeed,
|
||
|
|
\q1 who leads you by the way that you should go.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 18 If only you had obeyed my commandments!
|
||
|
|
\q1 Then your peace and prosperity would have flowed like a river, and your salvation like the waves of the sea.
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
\s5
|

|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 19 Your descendants would have been as numerous as the sand, and the children from your womb as numerous as the grains of sand;
|
||
|
|
\q1 their name would not have been cut off nor blotted out from before me.

\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 20 Come out from Babylon! Flee from the Chaldeans!
|
||
|
|
\q1 With the sound of a ringing cry announce it! Make this known, make it go out to the ends of the earth!
|
||
|
|
\q1 Say, 'Yahweh has redeemed his servant Jacob.'
|

\s5

\q1
|

|

\v 21 They did not thirst when he led them through the deserts;
|
||
|
|
\q1 he made the water to flow out of the rock for them;
|
||
|
|
\q1 he split open the rock, and the waters gushed out.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 22 There is no peace for the wicked—says Yahweh."
