Isaiah 41:18-29

18I will openH6605 1riversH5104 on the bareH8205 heightsH8205, And springsH4599 in the midstH8432 of the valleysH1237; I will makeH7760 2the wildernessH4057 a poolH98 of waterH4325, And the dryH6723 landH776 fountainsH4161 of waterH4325.19I will putH5414 the cedarH730 in the wildernessH4057, The acaciaH7848, the 3myrtleH1918, and the oliveH8081 treeH8410; I will placeH7760 the 4juniperH1265 in the desertH6160, TogetherH3164 with the elmH8410 treeH8410 and the cypressH8391,20SoH4616 thatH4616 5they may seeH7200 and recognizeH3045, And considerH7760 and gainH7919 insightH7919 asH3164 wellH3164, That the 6handH3027 of the LordH3068 has doneH6213 thisH2088, And the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478 has createdH1254 it.

21“7PresentH7126 your caseH7379,” the LordH3068 saysH559. “BringH5066 forwardH5066 your evidenceH6110,” The 8KingH4428 of JacobH3290 saysH559.229Let them bringH5066 them forwardH5066 and declareH5046 to us whatH834 is going to takeH7136 placeH7136; As for the 10formerH7223 events, declareH5046 whatH4100 they were, So that we may considerH7760H3820 them and knowH3045 their outcomeH319. OrH176 announceH8085 to us what is comingH935;2311DeclareH5046 the thingsH857 that are goingH857 toH857 comeH857 afterwardH268, So that we may knowH3045 that you are godsH430; IndeedH637, 12doH3190 goodH3190 or evilH7489, that we may beH8159 afraidH8159 and fearH3372 togetherH3164.24BeholdH2005, 13you are lessH4480 thanH4480 nothingH369, And 14your workH6467 is lessH4480 thanH4480 nothingH657! He who choosesH977 you is an 15abominationH8441.

25“I have putH5782 16one from the northH6828 intoH5782 motionH5782, and he has comeH857; From the risingH4217 of the sunH8121 he will callH7121 on My nameH8034; And he will comeH935 upon rulersH5461 as upon 1718mortarH2563, As the potterH3335 treadsH7429 onH7429 clayH2563.”26WhoH4310 has 19declaredH5046 this from the beginningH7218, that we might knowH3045? Or from formerH6440 timesH6440, that we may sayH559, “He is rightH6662!”? ThereH369 wasH369 20noH369 oneH369 atH637 allH637 who declaredH5046, ThereH369 wasH369 noH369 oneH369 atH637 allH637 who proclaimedH8085, ThereH369 wasH369 noH369 oneH369 atH637 allH637 who heardH8085 your wordsH561.27“21PreviouslyH7223 I said to ZionH6726, ‘BeholdH2009, hereH2009 they are.’ And to JerusalemH3389, ‘I will giveH5414 a 22messengerH1319 ofH1319 goodH1319 newsH1319.’28But 23when I lookH7200, thereH369 isH369 noH369 oneH376, And thereH369 isH369 noH369 24counselorH3289 25amongH4480 them Who, if I askH7592, can 26giveH7725 an answerH1697.29BeholdH2005, allH3605 of them are 27falseH205; Their 28worksH4639 are 29nothingH657, Their castH5262 metalH5262 imagesH5262 are 30windH7307 and emptinessH8414.
