1. Thus says the LORD to his anointed, Cyrus, whose right hand I grasp, Subduing nations before him, and making kings run in his service, Opening doors before him and leaving the gates unbarred:
|
1. Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 to his anointed H4899 , to Cyrus H3566 , whose H834 right hand H3225 I have holden H2388 , to subdue H7286 nations H1471 before H6440 him ; and I will loose H6605 the loins H4975 of kings H4428 , to open H6605 before H6440 him the two leaved gates H1817 ; and the gates H8179 shall not H3808 be shut H5462 ;
|
|
2. I will go before you and level the mountains; Bronze doors I will shatter, and iron bars I will snap.
|
2. I H589 will go H1980 before H6440 thee , and make the crooked places straight H3474 H1921 : I will break in pieces H7665 the gates H1817 of brass H5154 , and cut in sunder H1438 the bars H1280 of iron H1270 :
|
|
3. I will give you treasures out of the darkness, and riches that have been hidden away, That you may know that I am the LORD, the God of Israel, who calls you by your name.
|
3. And I will give H5414 thee the treasures H214 of darkness H2822 , and hidden riches H4301 of secret places H4565 , that H4616 thou mayest know H3045 that H3588 I H589 , the LORD H3068 , which call H7121 thee by thy name H8034 , am the God H430 of Israel H3478 .
|
|
4. For the sake of Jacob, my servant, of Israel my chosen one, I have called you by your name, giving you a title, though you knew me not.
|
4. For Jacob H3290 my servant's sake H4616 H5650 , and Israel H3478 mine elect H972 , I have even called H7121 thee by thy name H8034 : I have surnamed H3655 thee , though thou hast not H3808 known H3045 me.
|
|
5. I am the LORD and there is no other, there is no God besides me. It is I who arm you, though you know me not,
|
5. I H589 am the LORD H3068 , and there is none H369 else H5750 , there is no H369 God H430 beside H2108 me : I girded H247 thee , though thou hast not H3808 known H3045 me:
|
|
6. so that toward the rising and the setting of the sun men may know that there is none besides me. I am the LORD, there is no other;
|
6. That H4616 they may know H3045 from the rising H4480 H4217 of the sun H8121 , and from the west H4480 H4628 , that H3588 there is none H657 beside H1107 me. I H589 am the LORD H3068 , and there is none H369 else H5750 .
|
|
7. I form the light, and create the darkness, I make well-being and create woe; I, the LORD, do all these things.
|
7. I form H3335 the light H216 , and create H1254 darkness H2822 : I make H6213 peace H7965 , and create H1254 evil H7451 : I H589 the LORD H3068 do H6213 all H3605 these H428 things .
|
|
8. Let justice descend, O heavens, like dew from above, like gentle rain let the skies drop it down. Let the earth open and salvation bud forth; let justice also spring up! I, the LORD, have created this.
|
8. Drop down H7491 , ye heavens H8064 , from above H4480 H4605 , and let the skies H7834 pour down H5140 righteousness H6664 : let the earth H776 open H6605 , and let them bring forth H6509 salvation H3468 , and let righteousness H6666 spring up H6779 together H3162 ; I H589 the LORD H3068 have created H1254 it.
|
|
9. Woe to him who contends with his Maker; a potsherd among potsherds of the earth! Dare the clay say to its modeler, "What are you doing?" or, "What you are making has no hands"?
|
9. Woe H1945 unto him that striveth H7378 with H854 his Maker H3335 ! Let the potsherd H2789 strive with H854 the potsherds H2789 of the earth H127 . Shall the clay H2563 say H559 to him that fashioneth H3335 it, What H4100 makest H6213 thou? or thy work H6467 , He hath no H369 hands H3027 ?
|
|
10. Woe to him who asks a father, "What are you begetting?" or a woman, "What are you giving birth to?"
|
10. Woe H1945 unto him that saith H559 unto his father H1 , What H4100 begettest H3205 thou? or to the woman H802 , What H4100 hast thou brought forth H2342 ?
|
|
11. Thus says the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, his maker: You question me about my children, or prescribe the work of my hands for me!
|
11. Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 , the Holy One H6918 of Israel H3478 , and his Maker H3335 , Ask H7592 me of things to come H857 concerning H5921 my sons H1121 , and concerning H5921 the work H6467 of my hands H3027 command H6680 ye me.
|
|
12. It was I who made the earth and created mankind upon it; It was my hands that stretched out the heavens; I gave the order to all their host.
|
12. I H595 have made H6213 the earth H776 , and created H1254 man H120 upon H5921 it: I H589 , even my hands H3027 , have stretched out H5186 the heavens H8064 , and all H3605 their host H6635 have I commanded H6680 .
|
|
13. It was I who stirred up one for the triumph of justice; all his ways I make level. He shall rebuild my city and let my exiles go free Without price or ransom, says the LORD of hosts.
|
13. I H595 have raised him up H5782 in righteousness H6664 , and I will direct H3474 all H3605 his ways H1870 : he H1931 shall build H1129 my city H5892 , and he shall let go H7971 my captives H1546 , not H3808 for price H4242 nor H3808 reward H7810 , saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 .
|
|
14. Thus says the LORD: The earnings of Egypt, the gain of Ethiopia, and the Sabeans, tall of stature, Shall come over to you and belong to you; they shall follow you, coming in chains. Before you they shall fall prostrate, saying in prayer: "With you only is God, and nowhere else; the gods are nought.
|
14. Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 , The labor H3018 of Egypt H4714 , and merchandise H5505 of Ethiopia H3568 and of the Sabeans H5436 , men H376 of stature H4060 , shall come over H5674 unto H5921 thee , and they shall be H1961 thine : they shall come H1980 after H310 thee ; in chains H2131 they shall come over H5674 , and they shall fall down H7812 unto H413 thee , they shall make supplication H6419 unto H413 thee, saying , Surely H389 God H410 is in thee ; and there is none H369 else H5750 , there is no H657 God H430 .
|
|
15. Truly with you God is hidden, the God of Israel, the savior!
|
15. Verily H403 thou H859 art a God H410 that hidest thyself H5641 , O God H430 of Israel H3478 , the Savior H3467 .
|
|
16. Those are put to shame and disgrace who vent their anger against him; Those go in disgrace who carve images.
|
16. They shall be ashamed H954 , and also H1571 confounded H3637 , all H3605 of them : they shall go H1980 to confusion H3639 together H3162 that are makers H2796 of idols H6736 .
|
|
17. Israel, you are saved by the LORD, saved forever! You shall never be put to shame or disgrace in future ages."
|
17. But Israel H3478 shall be saved H3467 in the LORD H3068 with an everlasting H5769 salvation H8668 : ye shall not H3808 be ashamed H954 nor H3808 confounded H3637 world without end H5704 H5769 H5703 .
|
|
18. For thus says the LORD, The creator of the heavens, who is God, The designer and maker of the earth who established it, Not creating it to be a waste, but designing it to be lived in: I am the LORD, and there is no other.
|
18. For H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 that created H1254 the heavens H8064 ; God H430 himself H1931 that formed H3335 the earth H776 and made H6213 it; he H1931 hath established H3559 it , he created H1254 it not H3808 in vain H8414 , he formed H3335 it to be inhabited H3427 : I H589 am the LORD H3068 ; and there is none H369 else H5750 .
|
|
19. I have not spoken from hiding nor from some dark place of the earth, And I have not said to the descendants of Jacob, "Look for me in an empty waste." I, the LORD, promise justice, I foretell what is right.
|
19. I have not H3808 spoken H1696 in secret H5643 , in a dark H2822 place H4725 of the earth H776 : I said H559 not H3808 unto the seed H2233 of Jacob H3290 , Seek H1245 ye me in vain H8414 : I H589 the LORD H3068 speak H1696 righteousness H6664 , I declare H5046 things that are right H4339 .
|
|
20. Come and assemble, gather together, you fugitives from among the gentiles! They are without knowledge who bear wooden idols and pray to gods that cannot save.
|
20. Assemble yourselves H6908 and come H935 ; draw near H5066 together H3162 , ye that are escaped H6412 of the nations H1471 : they have no knowledge H3045 H3808 that set up H5375 H853 the wood H6086 of their graven image H6459 , and pray H6419 unto H413 a god H410 that cannot H3808 save H3467 .
|
|
21. Come here and declare in counsel together: Who announced this from the beginning and foretold it from of old? Was it not I, the LORD, besides whom there is no other God? There is no just and saving God but me.
|
21. Tell H5046 ye , and bring them near H5066 ; yea H637 , let them take counsel H3289 together H3162 : who H4310 hath declared H8085 this H2063 from ancient time H4480 H6924 ? who hath told H5046 it from that time H4480 H227 ? have not H3808 I H589 the LORD H3068 ? and there is no H369 God H430 else H5750 beside H4480 H1107 me ; a just H6662 God H410 and a Savior H3467 ; there is none H369 beside H2108 me.
|
|
22. Turn to me and be safe, all you ends of the earth, for I am God; there is no other!
|
22. Look H6437 unto H413 me , and be ye saved H3467 , all H3605 the ends H657 of the earth H776 : for H3588 I H589 am God H410 , and there is none H369 else H5750 .
|
|
23. By myself I swear, uttering my just decree and my unalterable word: To me every knee shall bend; by me every tongue shall swear,
|
23. I have sworn H7650 by myself , the word H1697 is gone out H3318 of my mouth H4480 H6310 in righteousness H6666 , and shall not H3808 return H7725 , That H3588 unto me every H3605 knee H1290 shall bow H3766 , every H3605 tongue H3956 shall swear H7650 .
|
|
24. Saying, "Only in the LORD are just deeds and power. Before him in shame shall come all who vent their anger against him.
|
24. Surely H389 , shall one say H559 , in the LORD H3068 have I righteousness H6666 and strength H5797 : even to H5704 him shall men come H935 ; and all H3605 that are incensed H2734 against him shall be ashamed H954 .
|
|
25. In the LORD shall be the vindication and the glory of all the descendants of Israel."
|
25. In the LORD H3068 shall all H3605 the seed H2233 of Israel H3478 be justified H6663 , and shall glory H1984 .
