  41:1 ¶
Hold a feast to me, ye islands: for the princes shall renew [their] strength: let them draw nigh and speak together: then let them declare judgement. |
|
41:1 ¶
Keep silence°°
before°
me, O islands;°
and let the people°
renew°°
[their] strength:°
let them come near;°°
then°
let them speak:°°
let us come near°°
together°
to judgment.° |
|
41:2
Who raised up righteousness from the east, [and] called it to his feet, so that it should go? shall appoint [it] an adversary of Gentiles, and shall dismay kings, and bury their swords in the earth, and cast forth their bows and arrows as sticks? |
|
41:2
Who°
raised up°°
the righteous°
[man] from the east,°°
called°°
him to his foot,°
gave°°
the nations°
before°
him, and made [him] rule°°
over kings?°
he gave°°
[them] as the dust°
to his sword,°
[and] as driven°°
stubble°
to his bow.° |
|
41:3
And he shall pursue them; the way of his feet shall proceed in peace. |
|
41:3
He pursued°°
them, [and] passed°°
safely;°
[even] by the way°
[that] he had not°
gone°°
with his feet.° |
|
41:4
Who has wrought and done these things? he has called it who called it from the generations of old; I God, the first and to [all] futurity, I AM. |
|
41:4
Who°
hath wrought°°
and done°°
[it], calling°°
the generations°
from the beginning?°°
I°
Yahweh,°
the first,°
and with°
the last;°
I°
[am] he.° |
|
41:5
The nations saw, and feared; the ends of the earth drew nigh, and came together, |
|
41:5
The isles°
saw°°
[it], and feared;°°
the ends°
of the earth°
were afraid,°°
drew near,°°
and came.°° |
|
41:6
every one judging for his neighbor and [that] to assist his brother: and one will say, |
|
41:6
They helped°°
every one°°
his neighbour;°
and [every one] said°°
to his brother,°
Be of good courage.°° |
|
41:7
The artificer has become strong, and the coppersmith that smites with the hammer, [and] forges also: sometimes he will say, It is a piece well joined: they have fastened them with nails; they will fix them, and they shall not be moved. |
|
41:7
So the carpenter°
encouraged°°°
the goldsmith,°°
[and] he that smootheth°°
[with] the hammer°°
him that smote°°
the anvil,°
saying,°°
It°
[is] ready°
for the sodering:°
and he fastened°°
it with nails,°
[that] it should not°
be moved.°° |
|
41:8
But thou, Israel, art my servant Jacob, and he whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham{gr.Abraam}, whom I have loved: |
|
41:8
But thou,°
Israel,°
[art] my servant,°
Jacob°
whom°
I have chosen,°°
the seed°
of Abraham°
my friend.°° |
|
41:9
whom I have taken hold of from the ends of the earth, and from the high places of it I have called thee, and said to thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and I have not forsaken thee. |
|
41:9
[Thou] whom°
I have taken°°
from the ends°°
of the earth,°
and called°°
thee from the chief men°°
thereof, and said°°
unto thee, Thou°
[art] my servant;°
I have chosen°°
thee, and not°
cast thee away.°° |
|
41:10 ¶
Fear not; for I am with thee: wander not; for I am thy God, who have strengthened thee; and I have helped thee, and have established thee with my just right hand. |
|
41:10 ¶
Fear°°
thou not;°
for°
I°
[am] with°
thee: be not°
dismayed;°°
for°
I°
[am] thy Elohim:°
I will strengthen°°
thee; yea,°
I will help°°
thee; yea,°
I will uphold°°
thee with the right hand°
of my righteousness.° |
|
41:11
Behold, all thine adversaries shall be ashamed and confounded; for they shall be as if they were not: and all thine opponents shall perish. |
|
41:11
Behold,°
all°
they that were incensed°°
against thee shall be ashamed°°
and confounded:°°
they shall be°
as nothing;°
and they°°
that strive°
with thee shall perish.°° |
|
41:12
Thou shalt seek them, and thou shalt not find the men who shall insolently rage against thee: for they shall be as if they were not, and they that war against thee shall not be. |
|
41:12
Thou shalt seek°°
them, and shalt not°
find°°
them,°
[even] them°
that contended°
with thee: they°
that war°
against thee shall be°
as nothing,°
and as a thing of nought.° |
|
41:13
For I am thy God, who holdeth thy right hand, who saith to thee, |
|
41:13
For°
I°
Yahweh°
thy Elohim°
will hold°°
thy right hand,°
saying°°
unto thee, Fear°°
not;°
I°
will help°°
thee. |
|
41:14
Fear not, Jacob, [and thou] Israel few in number; I have helped thee, saith thy God, he that redeems thee, O Israel. |
|
41:14
Fear°°
not,°
thou worm°
Jacob,°
[and] ye men°
of Israel;°
I°
will help°°
thee, saith°°
Yahweh,°
and thy redeemer,°°
the Holy One°
of Israel.° |
|
41:15
Behold, I have made thee as new saw-shaped threshing wheels of a waggon; and thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat the hills to powder, and make [them] as chaff: |
|
41:15
Behold,°
I will make°°
thee a new°
sharp°
threshing°
instrument°
having°
teeth:°
thou shalt thresh°°
the mountains,°
and beat [them] small,°°
and shalt make°°
the hills°
as chaff.° |
|
41:16
and thou shalt winnow [them], and the wind shall carry them away, and a tempest shall scatter them: but thou shalt rejoice in the holy ones of Israel. |
|
41:16
Thou shalt fan°°
them, and the wind°
shall carry them away,°°
and the whirlwind°
shall scatter°°
them: and thou°
shalt rejoice°°
in Yahweh,°
[and] shalt glory°°
in the Holy One°
of Israel.° |
|
41:17
And the poor and the needy shall exult; for [when] they shall seek water, and there shall be none, [and] their tongue is parched with thirst, I the Lord God, I the God of Israel will hear, and will not forsake them: |
|
41:17
[When] the poor°
and needy°
seek°°
water,°
and [there is] none,°
[and] their tongue°
faileth°°
for thirst,°
I°
Yahweh°
will hear°°
them, I the Elohim°
of Israel°
will not°
forsake°°
them. |
|
41:18
but I will open rivers on the mountains, and fountains in the midst of plains: I will make the desert pools of water, and a thirsty land watercourses. |
|
41:18
I will open°°
rivers°
in°
high places,°
and fountains°
in the midst°
of the valleys:°
I will make°°
the wilderness°
a pool°
of water,°
and the dry°
land°
springs°
of water.° |
|
41:19
I will plant in the dry land the cedar and box, the myrtle and cypress, and white poplar: |
|
41:19
I will plant°°
in the wilderness°
the cedar,°
the shittah tree,°
and the myrtle,°
and the oil°
tree;°
I will set°°
in the desert°
the fir tree,°
[and] the pine,°
and the box tree°
together:° |
|
41:20
that they may see, and know, and perceive, and understand together, that the hand of the Lord has wrought these [works], and the Holy One of Israel has displayed [them]. |
|
41:20
That°
they may see,°°
and know,°°
and consider,°°
and understand°°
together,°
that°
the hand°
of Yahweh°
hath done°°
this,°
and the Holy One°
of Israel°
hath created°°
it. |
|
41:21
Your judgement draws nigh, saith the Lord God; your counsel have drawn nigh, saith the King of Jacob. |
|
41:21
Produce°°
your cause,°
saith°°
Yahweh;°
bring forth°°
your strong°
[reasons], saith°°
the King°
of Jacob.° |
|
41:22
Let them draw nigh, and declare to you what things shall come to pass; or tell [us] what things were of old, and we will apply [our] understanding, and we shall know what are the last and the future things: |
|
41:22
Let them bring [them] forth,°°
and shew°°
us°
what°
shall happen:°°
let them shew°°
the former things,°
what°
they°
[be], that we may consider°°°
them, and know°°
the latter end°
of them; or°
declare°°
us things for to come.°° |
|
41:23
tell us, declare ye to us the things that are coming on at the last [time], and we shall know that ye are gods: do good, and do evil, and we shall wonder, and see at the same time |
|
41:23
Shew°°
the things that are to come°°
hereafter,°
that we may know°°
that°
ye°
[are] elohim:°
yea,°
do good,°°
or do evil,°°
that we may be dismayed,°°
and behold°°
[it] together.° |
|
41:24
whence ye are, and whence is your works: they have chosen you an abomination out of the earth. |
|
41:24
Behold,°
ye°
[are] of nothing,°°
and your work°
of nought:°°
an abomination°
[is he that] chooseth°°
you. |
|
41:25
But I have raised up him that [comes] from the north, and him that [comes] from the rising of the sun: they shall be called by my name: let the princes come, and as potter's clay, and as a potter treading clay, so shall ye be trodden down. |
|
41:25
I have raised up°°
[one] from the north,°°
and he shall come:°°
from the rising°°
of the sun°
shall he call°°
upon my name:°
and he shall come°°
upon princes°
as°
[upon] morter,°
and as°
the potter°°
treadeth°°
clay.° |
|
41:26
For who will declare the things from the beginning, that we may know also the former things, and we will say that they are true? there is no one that speaks beforehand, nor anyone that hears your words. |
|
41:26
Who°
hath declared°°
from the beginning,°°
that we may know?°°
and beforetime,°°
that we may say,°°
[He is] righteous?°
yea,°
[there is] none°
that sheweth,°°
yea,°
[there is] none°
that declareth,°°
yea,°
[there is] none°
that heareth°°
your words.° |
|
41:27
I will give dominion to Zion{gr.Sion}, and will comfort Jerusalem by the way. |
|
41:27
The first°
[shall say] to Zion,°
Behold,°
behold°
them: and I will give°°
to Jerusalem°
one that bringeth good tidings.°° |
|
41:28
For from among the nations, behold, [there was] no one; and of their idols there was none to declare [anything]: and if I should ask them, Whence are ye? they could not answer me. |
|
41:28
For I beheld,°°
and [there was] no°
man;°
even among them,°°
and [there was] no°
counsellor,°°
that, when I asked°°
of them, could answer°°
a word.° |
|
41:29
For [these] are your makers, [as ye think], and they that cause you to err in vain. |
|
41:29
Behold,°
they [are] all°
vanity;°
their works°
[are] nothing:°
their molten images°
[are] wind°
and confusion.° |
