Isaiah 51

1Hearken to meH413, ye that followH7291 afterH413 righteousnessH6664, ye that seekH1245 the LORDH3068: lookH5027 unto the rockH6697 whence ye were hewnH2672, and to the hole of the pitH953 whence ye were digged. 2LookH5027 unto AbrahamH85 your fatherH1, and unto SarahH8283 that bare youH3588: for when he was but one I calledH7121 him, and I blessedH1288 him, and madeH7121 him manyH7235. 3For the LORDH3068 hath comfortedH5162 ZionH6726: he hath comfortedH5162 allH3605 herH3605 wasteH2723 placesH2723, and hath madeH7760 herH3605 wildernessH4057 like EdenH5731, and herH3605 desertH6160 like the gardenH1588 of the LORDH3068; joyH8057 and gladnessH8057 shall be foundH4672 therein, thanksgivingH8426, and the voiceH6963 of melodyH2172. 4Attend unto meH413, O my peopleH5971; and giveH238 earH238 unto meH413, O my nationH5971: for a lawH8451 shall goH3318 forthH3318 from meH413, and I will makeH3588 my judgmentH4941 to restH7280 for a lightH216 of the peoplesH5971. 5My righteousnessH6664 is nearH7138, my salvationH3468 is goneH3318 forthH3318, and mine armsH2220 shall judgeH8199 the peoplesH5971; the islesH339 shall waitH3176 for meH413, and on mine armH2220 shall they trust. 6LiftH5375 upH5375 your eyesH5869 to the heavensH8064, and lookH5027 uponH1961 the earthH776 beneathH8478: for the heavensH8064 shall vanish awayH5375 like smokeH6227, and the earthH776 shall wax oldH5769 like a garmentH899, and they that dwellH3427 therein shall dieH4191 in like mannerH3651: but my salvationH3444 shall be for everH5769, and my righteousnessH6666 shall notH3808 be abolished. 7Hearken unto meH413, ye that knowH3045 righteousnessH6664, the peopleH5971 in whose heartH3820 is my lawH8451; fearH3372 ye notH408 the reproachH2781 of menH582, neitherH408 be ye dismayedH2865 at their revilingsH1421. 8For the mothH6211 shall eatH398 them upH398 like a garmentH899, and the worm shall eatH398 them like woolH6785: but my righteousnessH6666 shall be for everH5769, and my salvationH3444 unto allH1755 generationsH1755. 9AwakeH5782, awakeH5782, putH3847 on strengthH5797, O armH2220 of the LORDH3068; awakeH5782, as in the daysH3117 of oldH5769, the generationsH1755 of ancientH5769 timesH3117. Art thou notH3808 it that cutH2672 RahabH7294 in piecesH2672, that piercedH2490 the dragonH8577? 10Art thou notH3808 it whichH1931 dried upH7760 the seaH3220, the watersH4325 of the greatH7227 deepH8415; that madeH7760 the depthsH8415 of the seaH3220 a wayH1870 for the redeemedH1350 to passH5674 over? 11And the ransomedH6299 of the LORDH3068 shall returnH7725, and comeH935 with singingH7440 unto ZionH6726; and everlastingH5769 joyH8057 shall be uponH5921 their headsH7218: they shall obtainH5381 gladnessH8057 and joyH8057, and sorrowH3015 and sighingH585 shall fleeH5127 awayH7725. 12I, even I, am he that comforteth youH859: who art thou, that thou art afraidH3372 of manH120 that shall dieH4191, and of the sonH1121 of manH120 whichH1931 shall be madeH5414 as grassH2682; 13and hast forgottenH7911 the LORDH3068 thy Maker, that stretchedH5186 forth the heavensH8064, and laidH3245 the foundationsH3245 of the earthH776; and fearest continuallyH8548 allH3605 the dayH3117 becauseH834 of the furyH2534 of the oppressorH6693, when he maketh readyH3559 to destroyH7843? and whereH834 is the furyH2534 of the oppressorH6693? 14The captive exileH6808 shall speedily be loosed; and he shall notH3808 dieH4191 and go downH6808 into the pitH7845, neitherH3808 shall his breadH3899 failH3808. 15For I am the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, whichH6635 stirreth upH3220 the seaH3220, that the wavesH1530 thereof roarH1993: the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is his nameH8034. 16And I have putH7760 my wordsH1697 in thy mouthH6310, and have coveredH3680 thee in the shadowH6738 of mine handH3027, that I may plantH5193 the heavensH8064, and layH7760 the foundationsH3245 of the earthH776, and sayH559 unto ZionH6726, Thou art my peopleH5971. 17AwakeH5782, awakeH5782, standH6965 upH6965, O JerusalemH3389, whichH834 hast drunkH8354 at the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 the cupH3563 of his furyH2534; thou hast drunken the bowl of the cupH3563 of staggering, and drainedH4680 it. 18There is noneH369 to guideH5095 herH3605 among allH3605 the sonsH1121 whom she hath broughtH3205 forthH3205; neitherH369 is there anyH3605 that taketh herH3605 by the handH3027 of allH3605 the sonsH1121 that she hath broughtH3205 upH1431. 19TheseH2007 twoH8147 things are befallenH7122 thee; who shall bemoan thee? desolation and destructionH7667, and the famineH7458 and the swordH2719; howH4310 shall I comfortH5162 thee? 20Thy sonsH1121 have faintedH5968, they lieH7901 at the topH7218 of allH3605 the streetsH2351, as an antelopeH8377 in a net; they are fullH4392 of the furyH2534 of the LORDH3068, the rebukeH1606 of thy GodH430. 21Therefore hearH8085 nowH4994 this, thou afflictedH6041, and drunken, but notH3808 with wineH3196: 22ThusH3541 saith thy LordH3068 the LORDH3068, and thy GodH430 that pleadeth the cause of his peopleH5971, BeholdH2009, I have takenH3947 outH3027 of thine handH3027 the cupH3563 of staggering, evenH5750 the bowl of the cupH3563 of my furyH2534; thou shalt noH3808 moreH5750 drinkH8354 it againH5750: 23and I will putH7760 it intoH776 the handH3027 of them that afflict thee; whichH834 have saidH559 to thy soulH5315, BowH7812 downH7812, that weH834 may goH5674 over: and thou hast laidH7760 thy back as the groundH776, and as the streetH2351, to them that goH5674 over.
