Isaiah 48:1
|
|
Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, who are called
by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah; who swear
by the name of Jehovah, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth,
nor in righteousness. |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 48:2 |
|
(for they call themselves of the holy city,
and stay themselves upon the God of Israel; Jehovah of hosts is his name): |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 48:3 |
|
I have declared the former things from of old;
yea, they went forth out of my mouth, and I showed them: suddenly I did them,
and they came to pass. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 48:4 |
|
Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and
thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass; |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 48:5 |
|
therefore I have declared it to thee from of
old; before it came to pass I showed it thee; lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol
hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them.
|
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 48:6 |
|
Thou hast heard it; behold all this; and ye,
will ye not declare it? I have showed thee new things from this time, even hidden
things, which thou hast not known. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 48:7 |
|
They are created now, and not from of old; and
before this day thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew
them. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 48:8 |
|
Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not;
yea, from of old thine ear was not opened: for I knew that thou didst deal very
treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 48:9 |
|
For my name's sake will I defer mine anger,
and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 48:10 |
|
Behold, I have refined thee, but not as silver;
I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 48:11 |
|
For mine own sake, for mine own sake, will I
do it; for how should my name be profaned? and my glory will I not give to another.
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 48:12 |
|
Hearken unto me, O Jacob, and Israel my called:
I am he; I am the first, I also am the last. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 48:13 |
|
Yea, my hand hath laid the foundation of the
earth, and my right hand hath spread out the heavens: when I call unto them, they
stand up together. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 48:14 |
|
Assemble yourselves, all ye, and hear; who among
them hath declared these things? He whom Jehovah loveth shall perform his pleasure
on Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 48:15 |
|
I, even I, have spoken; yea, I have called him;
I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 48:16 |
|
Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; from the
beginning I have not spoken in secret; from the time that it was, there am I:
and now the Lord Jehovah hath sent me, and his Spirit. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 48:17 |
|
Thus saith Jehovah, thy Redeemer, the Holy One
of Israel: I am Jehovah thy God, who teacheth thee to profit, who leadeth thee
by the way that thou shouldest go. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 48:18 |
|
Oh that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments!
then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the
sea: |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 48:19 |
|
thy seed also had been as the sand, and the
offspring of thy bowels like the grains thereof: his name would not be cut off
nor destroyed from before me. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 48:20 |
|
Go ye forth from Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans;
with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it even to the end of the
earth: say ye, Jehovah hath redeemed his servant Jacob. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 48:21 |
|
And they thirsted not when he led them through
the deserts; he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them; he clave the
rock also, and the waters gushed out. |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 48:22 |
|
There is no peace, saith Jehovah, to the wicked.
