Isaías 40

1Comfort^H5162 ye, comfort^H5162 ye my people^H5971, saith^H559 your God^H430. 2Speak^H1696 ye comfortably^H3820 to Jerusalem^H3389; and cry^H7121 unto her, that her warfare^H6635 is accomplished^H4390, that her iniquity^H5771 is pardoned^H7521, that she hath received^H3947 of Jehovah's^H3068 hand^H3027 double^H3718 for all her sins^H2403. 3The voice^H6963 of one that crieth^H7121, Prepare^H6437 ye in the wilderness^H4057 the way^H1870 of Jehovah^H3068; make level^H3474 in the desert^H6160 a highway^H4546 for our God^H430. 4Every valley^H1516 shall be exalted^H5375, and every mountain^H2022 and hill^H1389 shall be made low^H8213; and the uneven^H6121 shall be made level^H4334, and the rough places^H7406 a plain^H1237: 5and the glory^H3519 of Jehovah^H3068 shall be revealed^H1540, and all flesh^H1320 shall see^H7200 it together^H3162; for the mouth^H6310 of Jehovah^H3068 hath spoken^H1696 it. 6The voice^H6963 of one saying^H559, Cry^H7121. And one said^H559, What shall I cry^H7121? All flesh^H1320 is grass^H2682, and all the goodliness^H2617 thereof is as the flower^H6731 of the field^H7704. 7The grass^H2682 withereth^H3001, the flower^H6731 fadeth^H5034, because the breath^H7307 of Jehovah^H3068 bloweth^H5380 upon it; surely^H403 the people^H5971 is grass^H2682. 8The grass^H2682 withereth^H3001, the flower^H6731 fadeth^H5034; but the word^H1697 of our God^H430 shall stand^H6965 forever^H5769. 9O thou that tellest good tidings^H1319 to Zion^H6726, get thee up^H5927 on a high^H1364 mountain^H2022; O thou that tellest good tidings^H1319 to Jerusalem^H3389, lift up^H7311 thy voice^H6963 with strength^H3581; lift it up^H7311, be not afraid^H3372; say^H559 unto the cities^H5892 of Judah^H3063, Behold, your God^H430! 10Behold, the Lord^H136 Jehovah^H136 will come^H935 as a mighty^H2389 one, and his arm^H2220 will rule^H4910 for him: Behold, his reward^H7939 is with him, and his recompense^H6468 before^H6440 him. 11He will feed^H7462 his flock^H5739 like a shepherd^H7462, he will gather^H6908 the lambs^H2922 in his arm^H2220, and carry^H5375 them in his bosom^H2436, and will gently lead^H5095 those that have their young^H5763. 12Who hath measured^H4058 the waters^H4325 in the hollow of his hand^H8168, and meted out^H8505 heaven^H8064 with the span^H2239, and comprehended^H3557 the dust^H6083 of the earth^H776 in a measure^H7991, and weighed^H8254 the mountains^H2022 in scales^H6425, and the hills^H1389 in a balance^H3976? 13Who hath directed^H8505 the Spirit^H7307 of Jehovah^H3068, or being his counsellor^H376 hath taught^H3045 him? 14With whom took he counsel^H3289, and who instructed^H995 him, and taught^H3925 him in the path^H734 of justice^H4941, and taught^H3925 him knowledge^H1847, and showed^H3045 to him the way^H1870 of understanding^H8394? 15Behold, the nations^H1471 are as a drop^H4752 of a bucket^H1805, and are accounted^H2803 as the small dust^H7834 of the balance^H3976: Behold, he taketh up^H5190 the isles^H339 as a very little thing^H1851. 16And Lebanon^H3844 is not^H369 sufficient^H1767 to burn^H1197, nor the beasts^H2416 thereof sufficient^H1767 for a burnt-offering^H5930. 17All the nations^H1471 are as nothing before him; they are accounted^H2803 by him as less than nothing^H657, and vanity^H8414. 18To whom then will ye liken^H1819 God^H410? or what likeness^H1823 will ye compare^H6186 unto him? 19The image^H6459, a workman^H2796 hath cast^H5258 it, and the goldsmith^H6884 overlayeth^H7554 it with gold^H2091, and casteth^H6884 for it silver^H3701 chains^H7577. 20He that is too impoverished^H5533 for such an oblation^H8641 chooseth^H977 a tree^H6086 that will not rot^H7537; he seeketh^H1245 unto him a skilful^H2450 workman^H2796 to set^H3559 up a graven image^H6459, that shall not be moved^H4131. 21Have ye not known^H3045? have yet not heard^H8085? hath it not been told^H5046 you from the beginning^H7218? have ye not understood^H995 from the foundations^H4146 of the earth^H776? 22 It is he that sitteth^H3427 above the circle^H2329 of the earth^H776, and the inhabitants^H3427 thereof are as grasshoppers^H2284; that stretcheth out^H5186 the heavens^H8064 as a curtain^H1852, and spreadeth them out^H4969 as a tent^H168 to dwell in^H3427; 23that bringeth^H5414 princes^H7336 to nothing; that maketh^H6213 the judges^H8199 of the earth^H776 as vanity^H8414. 24Yea, they have not been planted^H5193; yea, they have not been sown^H2232; yea, their stock^H1503 hath not taken root^H8327 in the earth^H776: moreover he bloweth^H5398 upon them, and they wither^H3001, and the whirlwind^H5591 taketh^H5375 them away as stubble^H7179. 25To whom then will ye liken^H1819 me, that I should be equal^H7737 to him? saith^H559 the Holy One^H6918. 26Lift up^H5375 your eyes^H5869 on high^H4791, and see^H7200 who hath created^H1254 these, that bringeth out^H3318 their host^H6635 by number^H4557; he calleth^H7121 them all by name^H8034; by the greatness^H7230 of his might^H202, and for that he is strong^H533 in power^H3581, not one^H376 is lacking^H5737. 27Why sayest^H559 thou, O Jacob^H3290, and speakest^H1696, O Israel^H3478, My way^H1870 is hid^H5641 from Jehovah^H3068, and the justice^H4941 due to me is passed away^H5674 from my God^H430? 28Hast thou not known^H3045? hast thou not heard^H8085? The everlasting^H5769 God^H430, Jehovah^H3068, the Creator^H1254 of the ends^H7098 of the earth^H776, fainteth^H3286 not, neither is weary^H3021; there is no searching^H2714 of his understanding^H8394. 29He giveth^H5414 power^H3581 to the faint^H3287; and to him that hath no might^H202 he increaseth^H7235 strength^H6109. 30Even the youths^H5288 shall faint^H3286 and be weary^H3021, and the young men^H970 shall utterly^H3782 fall^H3782: 31but they that wait^H6960 for Jehovah^H3068 shall renew^H2498 their strength^H3581; they shall mount up^H5927 with wings^H83 as eagles^H5404; they shall run^H7323, and not be weary^H3021; they shall walk^H3212, and not faint^H3286.
