Isaiah 51

1Hearken^H8085 to me, ye that follow after^H7291 righteousness^H6664, ye that seek^H1245 Jehovah^H3068: look^H5027 unto the rock^H6697 whence ye were hewn^H2672, and to the hole^H4718 of the pit^H953 whence ye were digged^H5365. 2Look^H5027 unto Abraham^H85 your father^H1, and unto Sarah^H8283 that bare^H2342 you; for when he was but one^H259 I called^H7121 him, and I blessed^H1288 him, and made him many^H7235. 3For Jehovah^H3068 hath comforted^H5162 Zion^H6726; he hath comforted^H5162 all her waste places^H2723, and hath made^H7760 her wilderness^H4057 like Eden^H5731, and her desert^H6160 like the garden^H1588 of Jehovah^H3068; joy^H8342 and gladness^H8057 shall be found^H4672 therein, thanksgiving^H8426, and the voice^H6963 of melody^H2172. 4Attend^H7181 unto me, O my people^H5971; and give ear^H238 unto me, O my nation^H3816: for a law^H8451 shall go forth^H3318 from me, and I will establish^H7280 my justice^H4941 for a light^H216 of the peoples^H5971. 5My righteousness^H6664 is near^H7138, my salvation^H3468 is gone forth^H3318, and mine arms^H2220 shall judge^H8199 the peoples^H5971; the isles^H339 shall wait^H6960 for me, and on mine arm^H2220 shall they trust^H3176. 6Lift up^H5375 your eyes^H5869 to the heavens^H8064, and look^H5027 upon the earth^H776 beneath; for the heavens^H8064 shall vanish away^H4414 like smoke^H6227, and the earth^H776 shall wax old^H1086 like a garment^H899; and they that dwell^H3427 therein shall die^H4191 in like^H3644 manner^H3654: but my salvation^H3444 shall be for ever^H5769, and my righteousness^H6666 shall not be abolished^H2865. 7Hearken^H8085 unto me, ye that know^H3045 righteousness^H6664, the people^H5971 in whose heart^H3820 is my law^H8451; fear^H3372 ye not the reproach^H2781 of men^H582, neither be ye dismayed^H2865 at their revilings^H1421. 8For the moth^H6211 shall eat them up^H398 like a garment^H899, and the worm^H5580 shall eat^H398 them like wool^H6785; but my righteousness^H6666 shall be for ever^H5769, and my salvation^H3444 unto all generations^H1755. 9Awake^H5782, awake^H5782, put on^H3847 strength^H5797, O arm^H2220 of Jehovah^H3068; awake^H5782, as in the days^H3117 of old^H5769, the generations^H1755 of ancient^H6924 times. Is it not thou that didst cut^H2672 Rahab^H7294 in pieces, that didst pierce^H2490 the monster^H8577? 10Is it not thou that driedst^H2717 up the sea^H3220, the waters^H4325 of the great^H7227 deep^H8415; that madest^H7760 the depths^H4615 of the sea^H3220 a way^H1870 for the redeemed^H1350 to pass over^H5674? 11And the ransomed^H6299 of Jehovah^H3068 shall return^H7725, and come^H935 with singing^H7440 unto Zion^H6726; and everlasting^H5769 joy^H8057 shall be upon their heads^H7218: they shall obtain^H5381 gladness^H8342 and joy^H8057; and sorrow^H3015 and sighing^H585 shall flee away^H5127. 12I, even I, am he that comforteth^H5162 you: who art thou, that thou art afraid^H3372 of man^H582 that shall die^H4191, and of the son^H1121 of man^H120 that shall be made^H5414 as grass^H2682; 13and hast forgotten^H7911 Jehovah^H3068 thy Maker^H6213, that stretched forth^H5186 the heavens^H8064, and laid the foundations^H3245 of the earth^H776; and fearest^H6342 continually^H8548 all the day^H3117 because^H6440 of the fury^H2534 of the oppressor^H6693, when^H834 he maketh ready^H3559 to destroy^H7843? and where is the fury^H2534 of the oppressor^H6693? 14The captive exile^H6808 shall speedily^H4116 be loosed^H6605; and he shall not die^H4191 and go down into the pit^H7845, neither shall his bread^H3899 fail^H2637. 15For I am Jehovah^H3068 thy God^H430, who stirreth^H7280 up the sea^H3220, so that the waves^H1530 thereof roar^H1993: Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635 is his name^H8034. 16And I have put^H7760 my words^H1697 in thy mouth^H6310, and have covered^H3680 thee in the shadow^H6738 of my hand^H3027, that I may plant^H5193 the heavens^H8064, and lay the foundations^H3245 of the earth^H776, and say^H559 unto Zion^H6726, Thou art my people^H5971. 17Awake^H5782, awake^H5782, stand up^H6965, O Jerusalem^H3389, that hast drunk^H8354 at the hand^H3027 of Jehovah^H3068 the cup^H3563 of his wrath^H2534; thou hast drunken^H8354 the bowl^H6907 of the cup^H3563 of staggering^H8653, and drained^H4680 it. 18There is none to guide^H5095 her among all the sons^H1121 whom she hath brought forth^H3205; neither is there any that taketh^H2388 her by the hand^H3027 among all the sons^H1121 that she hath brought up^H1431. 19These two^H8147 things are befallen^H7122 thee, who shall bemoan^H5110 thee? desolation^H7701 and destruction^H7667, and the famine^H7458 and the sword^H2719; how shall I comfort^H5162 thee? 20Thy sons^H1121 have fainted^H5968, they lie^H7901 at the head^H7218 of all the streets^H2351, as an antelope^H8377 in a net^H4364; they are full^H4392 of the wrath^H2534 of Jehovah^H3068, the rebuke^H1606 of thy God^H430. 21Therefore hear^H8085 now this, thou afflicted^H6041, and drunken^H7937, but now with wine^H3196: 22Thus saith^H559 thy Lord^H113 Jehovah^H3068, and thy God^H430 that pleadeth^H7378 the cause of his people^H5971, Behold, I have taken out^H3947 of thy hand^H3027 the cup^H3563 of staggering^H8653, even the bowl^H6907 of the cup^H3563 of my wrath^H2534; thou shalt no more^H3254 drink it again^H8354: 23and I will put^H7760 it into the hand^H3027 of them that afflict^H3013 thee, that have said^H559 to thy soul^H5315, Bow down^H7812, that we may go over^H5674; and thou hast laid^H7760 thy back^H1460 as the ground^H776, and as the street^H2351, to them that go over^H5674.
