  51:1 ¶
Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, and seek the Lord: look to the solid rock, which ye have hewn, and to the hole of the pit which ye have dug. |
|
51:1 ¶
Hearken°°
to°
me, ye that follow after°°
righteousness,°
ye that seek°°
Yahweh:°
look°°
unto°
the rock°
[whence] ye are hewn,°°
and to°
the hole°
of the pit°
[whence] ye are digged.°° |
|
51:2
Look to Abraham{gr.Abraam} your father, and to Sarah{gr.Sarrha} that bore you: for he was alone when I called him, and blessed him, and loved him, and multiplied him. |
|
51:2
Look°°
unto°
Abraham°
your father,°
and unto°
Sarah°
[that] bare°°
you: for°
I called°°
him alone,°
and blessed°°
him, and increased°°
him. |
|
51:3
And now I will comfort thee, O Zion{gr.Sion}: and I have comforted all her desert places; and I will make her desert places as a garden, and her western places as the garden of the Lord; they shall find in her gladness and exultation, thanksgiving and the voice of praise. |
|
51:3
For°
Yahweh°
shall comfort°°
Zion:°
he will comfort°°
all°
her waste places;°
and he will make°°
her wilderness°
like Eden,°
and her desert°
like the garden°
of Yahweh;°
joy°
and gladness°
shall be found°°
therein, thanksgiving,°
and the voice°
of melody.° |
|
51:4 ¶
Hear me, hear me, my people; and ye kings, hearken to me: for a law shall proceed from me, and my judgment [shall be] for a light of the nations. |
|
51:4 ¶
Hearken°°
unto°
me, my people;°
and give ear°°
unto°
me, O my nation:°
for°
a law°
shall proceed°°
from°°
me, and I will make my judgment°
to rest°°
for a light°
of the people.° |
|
51:5
My righteousness speedily draws nigh, and my salvation shall go forth as light, and on mine arm shall the Gentiles trust: the isles shall wait for me, and on mine arm shall they trust. |
|
51:5
My righteousness°
[is] near;°
my salvation°
is gone forth,°°
and mine arms°
shall judge°°
the people;°
the isles°
shall wait°°
upon°
me, and on°
mine arm°
shall they trust.°° |
|
51:6
Lift up your eyes to the sky, and look on the earth beneath: for the sky was darkened like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and the inhabitants shall die in like manner: but my righteousness shall not fail. |
|
51:6
Lift up°°
your eyes°
to the heavens,°
and look°°
upon°
the earth°
beneath:°°
for°
the heavens°
shall vanish away°°
like smoke,°
and the earth°
shall wax old°°
like a garment,°
and they that dwell°°
therein shall die°°
in like°
manner:°°°
but my salvation°
shall be°
for ever,°
and my righteousness°
shall not°
be abolished.°° |
|
51:7 ¶
Hear me, ye that know judgment, the people in whose heart is my law: fear not the reproach of men, and be not overcome by their contempt. |
|
51:7 ¶
Hearken°°
unto°
me, ye that know°°
righteousness,°
the people°
in whose heart°
[is] my law;°
fear°°
ye not°
the reproach°
of men,°
neither°
be ye afraid°°
of their revilings.°° |
|
51:8
For as a garment will be devoured by time, and as wool will be devoured by a moth, [so shall they be consumed]; but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation for all generations. |
|
51:8
For°
the moth°
shall eat them up°°
like a garment,°
and the worm°
shall eat°°
them like wool:°
but my righteousness°
shall be°
for ever,°
and my salvation°
from generation°
to generation.° |
|
51:9 ¶
Awake, awake, O Jerusalem, and put on the strength of thine arm; awake as in the early time, as the ancient generation. |
|
51:9 ¶
Awake,°°
awake,°°
put on°°
strength,°
O arm°
of Yahweh;°
awake,°°
as in the ancient°
days,°
in the generations°
of old.°
[Art] thou°
not°
it°
that hath cut°°
Rahab,°°
[and] wounded°°
the dragon?° |
|
51:10
Art thou not it that dried the sea, the water, [even] the abundance of the deep; that made the depths of the sea a way of passage for the delivered and redeemed? |
|
51:10
[Art] thou°
not°
it°
which hath dried°°
the sea,°
the waters°
of the great°
deep;°
that hath made°°
the depths°
of the sea°
a way°
for the ransomed°°
to pass over?°° |
|
51:11
for by [the help of] the Lord they shall return, and come to Zion{gr.Sion} with joy and everlasting exultation, for praise and joy shall come upon their head: pain, and grief, and groaning, have fled away. |
|
51:11
Therefore the redeemed°°
of Yahweh°
shall return,°°
and come°°
with singing°
unto Zion;°
and everlasting°
joy°
[shall be] upon°
their head:°
they shall obtain°°
gladness°
and joy;°
[and] sorrow°
and mourning°
shall flee away.°° |
|
51:12
I, [even] I, am he that comforts thee: consider who thou art, that thou wast afraid of mortal man, and of the son of man, who are withered as grass. |
|
51:12
I,°
[even] I,°
[am] he°
that comforteth°°
you: who°
[art] thou,°
that thou shouldest be afraid°°
of a man°°
[that] shall die,°°
and of the son°°
of man°
[which] shall be made°°
[as] grass;° |
|
51:13
And thou hast forgotten God who made thee, who made the sky and founded the earth; and thou wert continually afraid because of the wrath of him that afflicted thee: for [whereas] he counselled to take thee away, yet now where is the wrath of him that afflicted thee? |
|
51:13
And forgettest°°
Yahweh°
thy maker,°°
that hath stretched forth°°
the heavens,°
and laid the foundations°°
of the earth;°
and hast feared°°
continually°
every°
day°
because°°
of the fury°
of the oppressor,°°
as°
if°
he were ready°°
to destroy?°°
and where°
[is] the fury°
of the oppressor?°° |
|
51:14
For in thy deliverance he shall not halt, nor tarry; |
|
51:14
The captive exile°°
hasteneth°°
that he may be loosed,°°
and that he should not°
die°°
in the pit,°
nor°
that his bread°
should fail.°° |
|
51:15
for I am thy God, that troubles the sea, and causes the waves thereof to roar: the Lord of hosts is my name. |
|
51:15
But I°
[am] Yahweh°
thy Elohim,°
that divided°°
the sea,°
whose waves°
roared:°°
Yahweh°
Sabaoth°
[is] his name.° |
|
51:16
I will put my words into thy mouth, and I will shelter thee under the shadow of mine hand, with which I fixed the sky, and founded the earth: and [the Lord] shall say to Zion{gr.Sion}, Thou art my people. |
|
51:16
And I have put°°
my words°
in thy mouth,°
and I have covered°°
thee in the shadow°
of mine hand,°
that I may plant°°
the heavens,°
and lay the foundations°°
of the earth,°
and say°°
unto Zion,°
Thou°
[art] my people.° |
|
51:17 ¶
Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, that hast drunk at the hand of the Lord the cup of his fury: for thou hast drunk out and drained the cup of calamity, the cup of wrath: |
|
51:17 ¶
Awake,°°
awake,°°
stand up,°°
O Jerusalem,°
which°
hast drunk°°
at the hand°°
of Yahweh°°
the cup°
of his fury;°
thou hast drunken°°°
the dregs°
of the cup°
of trembling,°
[and] wrung [them] out.°° |
|
51:18
and there was none to comfort thee of all the children whom thou borest; and there was none to take hold of thine hand, not even of all the children whom thou has reared. |
|
51:18
[There is] none°
to guide°°
her among all°°
the sons°
[whom] she hath brought forth;°°
neither°
[is there any] that taketh°°
her by the hand°
of all°°
the sons°
[that] she hath brought up.°° |
|
51:19
Wherefore these things are against thee; who shall sympathize with thee in thy grief? downfall, and destruction, famine, and sword: who shall comfort thee? |
|
51:19
These°
two°
[things] are come°°
unto thee; who°
shall be sorry°°
for thee? desolation,°
and destruction,°
and the famine,°
and the sword:°
by whom°
shall I comfort°°
thee? |
|
51:20
Thy sons are the perplexed ones, that sleep at the top of every street as a half-boiled beet; they that are full of the anger of the Lord, caused to faint by the Lord God. |
|
51:20
Thy sons°
have fainted,°°
they lie°°
at the head°
of all°
the streets,°
as a wild bull°
in a net:°
they are full°
of the fury°
of Yahweh,°
the rebuke°
of thy Elohim.° |
|
51:21 ¶
Therefore hear, thou afflicted one, and drunken, [but] not with wine; |
|
51:21 ¶
Therefore°
hear°°
now°
this,°
thou afflicted,°
and drunken,°°
but not°
with wine:°° |
|
51:22
thus saith the Lord God that judges his people, Behold, I have taken out of thine hand the cup of calamity, the cup of my wrath; and thou shalt not drink it any more. |
|
51:22
Thus°
saith°°
thy Adonim°
Yahweh,°
and thy Elohim°
[that] pleadeth°°
the cause°
of his people,°
Behold,°
I have taken°
out°°
of thine hand°°°
the cup°
of trembling,°
[even]°
the dregs°
of the cup°
of my fury;°
thou shalt no°
more°°
drink°
it again:°°° |
|
51:23
And I will give it into the hands of them that injured thee, and them that afflicted thee; who said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may pass over: and thou didst level thy body with the ground to them passing by without. |
|
51:23
But I will put°°
it into the hand°
of them that afflict°°
thee; which°
have said°°
to thy soul,°
Bow down,°°
that we may go over:°°
and thou hast laid°°
thy body°
as the ground,°
and as the street,°
to them that went over.°° |
