Yet now hear,
O Jacob
my servant;
and Israel,
whom I have chosen:
Thus saith
the LORD
that made
thee, and formed
thee from the womb,
which will help
thee; Fear
not, O Jacob,
my servant;
and thou, Jesurun,
whom I have chosen.
For I will pour
water
upon him that is thirsty,
and floods
upon the dry ground:
I will pour
my spirit
upon thy seed,
and my blessing
upon thine offspring:
And they shall spring up
as among
the grass,
as willows
by the water
courses.
One shall say,
I am the LORD'S;
and another shall call
himself by the name
of Jacob;
and another shall subscribe
with his hand
unto the LORD,
and surname
himself by the name
of Israel.
Thus saith
the LORD
the King
of Israel,
and his redeemer
the LORD
of hosts;
I am the first,
and I am the last;
and beside
me there is no God.
And who, as I, shall call,
and shall declare
it, and set it in order
for me, since I appointed
the ancient
people?
and the things that are coming,
and shall come,
let them shew
unto them.
Fear
ye not, neither be afraid:
have not I told
thee from that time,
and have declared
it? ye are even my witnesses.
Is there
a God
beside
me? yea, there is no God;
I know
not any.
They that make
a graven image
are all of them vanity;
and their delectable things
shall not profit;
and they are their own witnesses;
they see
not, nor know;
that they may be ashamed.
Who hath formed
a god,
or molten
a graven image
that is profitable
for nothing?
Behold, all his fellows
shall be ashamed:
and the workmen,
they are of men:
let them all be gathered together,
let them stand up;
yet they shall fear,
and they shall be ashamed
together.
The smith
with the tongs
both worketh
in the coals,
and fashioneth
it with hammers,
and worketh
it with the strength
of his arms:
yea, he is hungry,
and his strength
faileth:
he drinketh
no water,
and is faint.

The carpenter
stretcheth out
his rule;
he marketh it out
with a line;
he fitteth
it with planes,
and he marketh it out
with the compass,
and maketh
it after the figure
of a man,
according to the beauty
of a man;
that it may remain
in the house.

He heweth him down
cedars,
and taketh
the cypress
and the oak,
which he strengtheneth
for himself among the trees
of the forest:
he planteth
an ash,
and the rain
doth nourish
it.
Then shall it be for a man
to burn:
for he will take
thereof, and warm
himself; yea, he kindleth
it, and baketh
bread;
yea, he maketh
a god,
and worshippeth
it; he maketh
it a graven image,
and falleth down
thereto.

He burneth
part
thereof in
the fire;
with part
thereof he eateth
flesh;
he roasteth
roast,
and is satisfied:
yea, he warmeth
himself, and saith,
Aha,
I am warm,
I have seen
the fire:

And the residue
thereof he maketh
a god,
even his graven image:
he falleth down
unto it, and worshippeth
it, and prayeth
unto it, and saith,
Deliver
me; for thou art my god.
They have not known
nor understood:
for he hath shut
their eyes,
that they cannot see;
and their hearts,
that they cannot understand.
And none considereth
in his heart,
neither is there knowledge
nor understanding
to say,
I have burned
part
of it in
the fire;
yea, also I have baked
bread
upon the coals
thereof; I have roasted
flesh,
and eaten
it: and shall I make
the residue
thereof an abomination?
shall I fall down
to the stock
of a tree?

He feedeth
on ashes:
a deceived
heart
hath turned him aside,
that he cannot deliver
his soul,
nor say,
Is there not a lie
in my right hand?
Remember
these, O Jacob
and Israel;
for thou art my servant:
I have formed
thee; thou art my servant:
O Israel,
thou shalt not be forgotten
of me.
I have blotted out,
as a thick cloud,
thy transgressions,
and, as a cloud,
thy sins:
return
unto me; for I have redeemed
thee.
Sing,
O ye heavens;
for the LORD
hath done
it: shout,
ye lower parts
of the earth:
break forth
into singing,
ye mountains,
O forest,
and every tree
therein: for the LORD
hath redeemed
Jacob,
and glorified
himself in Israel.
Thus saith
the LORD,
thy redeemer,
and he that formed
thee from the womb,
I am the LORD
that maketh
all things; that stretcheth forth
the heavens
alone; that spreadeth abroad
the earth
by myself;
That frustrateth
the tokens
of the liars,
and maketh diviners
mad;
that turneth
wise
men backward,
and maketh their knowledge
foolish;

That confirmeth
the word
of his servant,
and performeth
the counsel
of his messengers;
that saith
to Jerusalem,
Thou shalt be inhabited;
and to the cities
of Judah,
Ye shall be built,
and I will raise up
the decayed places
thereof:
That saith
to the deep,
Be dry,
and I will dry up
thy rivers:
That saith
of Cyrus,
He is my shepherd,
and shall perform
all my pleasure:
even saying
to Jerusalem,
Thou shalt be built;
and to the temple,
Thy foundation shall be laid.
