ISA-44:1 Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I
have chosen:
ISA-44:2 Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee
from the womb, [which] will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my
servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen.
ISA-44:3 For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and
floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed,
and my blessing upon thine offspring:
ISA-44:4 And they shall spring up [as] among the grass, as
willows by the water courses.
ISA-44:5 One shall say, I [am] the LORD's; and another shall
call [himself] by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe
[with] his hand unto the LORD, and surname [himself] by the name
of Israel.
ISA-44:6 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his
redeemer the LORD of hosts; I [am] the first, and I [am] the
last; and beside me [there is] no God.
ISA-44:7 And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and
set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people?
and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them show
unto them.
ISA-44:8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee
from that time, and have declared [it]? ye [are] even my
witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, [there is] no God; I
know not [any].
ISA-44:9 They that make a graven image [are] all of them vanity;
and their delectable things shall not profit; and they [are]
their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be
ashamed.
ISA-44:10 Who hath formed a god, or molten a graven image [that]
is profitable for nothing?
ISA-44:11 Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed: and the
workmen, they [are] of men: let them all be gathered together,
let them stand up; [yet] they shall fear, [and] they shall be
ashamed together.
ISA-44:12 The smith with the tongs both worketh in the coals,
and fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with the strength
of his arms: yea, he is hungry, and his strength faileth: he
drinketh no water, and is faint.
ISA-44:13 The carpenter stretcheth out [his] rule; he marketh it
out with a line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it
out with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of a man,
according to the beauty of a man; that it may remain in the
house.
ISA-44:14 He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the cypress and
the oak, which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of
the forest: he planteth an ash, and the rain doth nourish [it].
ISA-44:15 Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take
thereof, and warm himself; yea, he kindleth [it], and baketh
bread; yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth [it]; he maketh it
a graven image, and falleth down thereto.
ISA-44:16 He burneth part thereof in the fire; with part thereof
he eateth flesh; he roasteth roast, and is satisfied: yea, he
warmeth [himself], and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the
fire:
ISA-44:17 And the residue thereof he maketh a god, [even] his
graven image: he falleth down unto it, and worshippeth [it], and
prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me; for thou [art] my god.
ISA-44:18 They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut
their eyes, that they cannot see; [and] their hearts, that they
cannot understand.
ISA-44:19 And none considereth in his heart, neither [is there]
knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in
the fire; yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I
have roasted flesh, and eaten [it]: and shall I make the residue
thereof an abomination? shall I fall down to the stock of a tree?
ISA-44:20 He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him
aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, [Is there] not
a lie in my right hand?
ISA-44:21 Remember these, O Jacob and Israel; for thou [art] my
servant: I have formed thee; thou [art] my servant: O Israel,
thou shalt not be forgotten of me.
ISA-44:22 I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy
transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I
have redeemed thee.
ISA-44:23 Sing, O ye heavens; for the LORD hath done [it]: shout,
ye lower parts of the earth: break forth into singing, ye
mountains, O forest, and every tree therein: for the LORD hath
redeemed Jacob, and glorified himself in Israel.
ISA-44:24 Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed
thee from the womb, I [am] the LORD that maketh all [things];
that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad
the earth by myself;
ISA-44:25 That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh
diviners mad; that turneth wise [men] backward, and maketh their
knowledge foolish;
ISA-44:26 That confirmeth the word of his servant, and
performeth the counsel of his messengers; that saith to
Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah,
Ye shall be built, and I will raise up the decayed places
thereof:
ISA-44:27 That saith to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up thy
rivers:
ISA-44:28 That saith of Cyrus, [He is] my shepherd, and shall
perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be
built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid.
