Isaiah 48

1 ♥ 📝 H ear^H8085 ye this, O house^H1004 of Jacob,^H3290 who are called^H7121 by the name^H8034 of Israel,^H3478 and are come forth^H3318 out of the waters^H4325 of Judah;^H3063 who swear^H7650 by the name^H8034 of Jehovah,^H3068 and make mention^H2142 of the God^H430 of Israel,^H3478 but not in truth,^H571 nor in righteousness^H6666

2 ♥ 📝 (for they call^H7121 themselves of the holy^H6944 city,^H5892 and stay^H5564 themselves upon the God^H430 of Israel;^H3478 Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635 is his name):^H8034

3 ♥ 📝 I have declared^H5046 the former things^H7223 from of old;^H227 yea, they went forth^H3318 out of my mouth,^H6310 and I showed^H8085 them: suddenly^H6597 I did^H6213 them, and they came to pass.^H935

4 ♥ 📝 Because I knew^H1847 that thou art obstinate,^H7186 and thy neck^H6203 is an iron^H1270 sinew,^H1517 and thy brow^H4696 brass;^H5154

5 ♥ 📝 therefore I have declared^H5046 it to thee from of old; before^H227 it came to pass^H935 I showed^H8085 it thee; lest thou shouldest say,^H559 Mine idol^H6090 hath done^H6213 them, and my graven image,^H6459 and my molten image,^H5262 hath commanded^H6680 them.

6 ♥ 📝 Thou hast heard^H8085 it; behold^H2372 all this; and ye, will ye not declare^H5046 it? I have showed^H8085 thee new things^H2319 from this time,^H6258 even hidden things,^H5341 which thou hast not known.^H3045

7 ♥ 📝 They are created^H1254 now, and not from of old; and before^H6440 this day^H3117 thou heardest^H8085 them not; lest thou shouldest say,^H559 Behold, I knew^H3045 them.

8 ♥ 📝 Yea, thou heardest^H8085 not; yea, thou knewest^H3045 not; yea, from of old thine ear^H241 was not opened:^H6605 for I knew^H3045 that thou didst deal very^H898 treacherously,^H898 and wast called^H7121 a transgressor^H6586 from the womb.^H990

9 ♥ 📝 For my name's^H8034 sake will I defer^H748 mine anger,^H639 and for my praise^H8416 will I refrain^H2413 for thee, that I cut thee not off.^H3772

10 ♥ 📝 Behold, I have refined^H6884 thee, but not as silver;^H3701 I have chosen^H977 thee in the furnace^H3564 of affliction.^H6040

11 ♥ 📝 For mine own sake, for mine own sake, will I do^H6213 it; for how should [my name] be profaned?^H2490 and my glory^H3519 will I not give^H5414 to another.^H312

12 ♥ 📝 Hearken^H8085 unto me, O Jacob,^H3290 and Israel^H3478 my called:^H7121 I am he; I am the first,^H7223 I also am the last.^H314

13 ♥ 📝 Yea, my hand^H3027 hath laid the foundation^H3245 of the earth,^H776 and my right hand^H3225 hath spread^H2946 out the heavens:^H8064 when I call^H7121 unto them, they stand up^H5975 together.^H3162

14 ♥ 📝 Assemble^H6908 yourselves, all ye, and hear;^H8085 who among them hath declared^H5046 these things? He whom Jehovah^H3068 loveth^H157 shall perform^H6213 his pleasure^H2656 on Babylon,^H894 and his arm^H2220 [shall be on] the Chaldeans.^H3778

15 ♥ 📝 I, even I, have spoken;^H1696 yea, I have called^H7121 him; I have brought^H935 him, and he shall make his way^H1870 prosperous.^H6743

16 ♥ 📝 Come^H7126 ye near^H7126 unto me, hear^H8085 ye this; from the beginning^H7218 I have not spoken^H1696 in secret;^H5643 from the time^H6256 that it was, there am I: and now the Lord^H136 Jehovah^H3069 hath sent^H7971 me, and his Spirit.^H7307

17 ♥ 📝 Thus saith^H559 Jehovah,^H3068 thy Redeemer,^H1350 the Holy One^H6918 of Israel:^H3478 I am Jehovah^H3068 thy God,^H430 who teacheth^H3925 thee to profit,^H3276 who leadeth^H1869 thee by the way^H1870 that thou shouldest go.^H3212

18 ♥ 📝 Oh that^H3863 thou hadst hearkened^H7181 to my commandments!^H4687 then had thy peace^H7965 been as a river,^H5104 and thy righteousness^H6666 as the waves^H1530 of the sea:^H3220

19 ♥ 📝 thy seed^H2233 also had been as the sand,^H2344 and the offspring^H6631 of thy bowels^H4578 like the grains^H4579 thereof: his name^H8034 would not be cut off^H3772 nor destroyed^H8045 from before^H6440 me.

20 ♥ 📝 Go ye forth^H3318 from Babylon,^H894 flee^H1272 ye from the Chaldeans;^H3778 with a voice^H6963 of singing^H7440 declare^H5046 ye, tell^H8085 this, utter^H3318 it even to the end^H7097 of the earth:^H776 say^H559 ye, Jehovah^H3068 hath redeemed^H1350 his servant^H5650 Jacob.^H3290

21 ♥ 📝 And they thirsted^H6770 not when he led^H3212 them through the deserts;^H2723 he caused the waters^H4325 to flow^H5140 out of the rock^H6697 for them; he clave^H1234 the rock^H6697 also, and the waters^H4325 gushed out.^H2100

22 ♥ 📝 There is no peace,^H7965 saith^H559 Jehovah,^H3068 to the wicked.^H7563
