Isaiah 45

1
Thus says the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have grasped, to subdue nations before him and ungird the loins of kings, to open doors before him that gates may not be closed:
2
"I will go before you and level the mountains, I will break in pieces the doors of bronze and cut asunder the bars of iron,
3
I will give you the treasures of darkness and the hoards in secret places, that you may know that it is I, the LORD, the God of Israel, who call you by your name.
4
For the sake of my servant Jacob, and Israel my chosen, I call you by your name, I surname you, though you do not know me.
5
I am the LORD, and there is no other, besides me there is no God; I gird you, though you do not know me,
6
that men may know, from the rising of the sun and from the west, that there is none besides me; I am the LORD, and there is no other.
7
I form light and create darkness, I make weal and create woe, I am the LORD, who do all these things.
8
"Shower, O heavens, from above, and let the skies rain down righteousness; let the earth open, that salvation may sprout forth, and let it cause righteousness to spring up also; I the LORD have created it.
9
"Woe to him who strives with his Maker, an earthen vessel with the potter! Does the clay say to him who fashions it, 'What are you making'? or 'Your work has no handles'?
10
Woe to him who says to a father, 'What are you begetting?' or to a woman, 'With what are you in travail?'"
11
Thus says the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker: "Will you question me about my children, or command me concerning the work of my hands?
12
I made the earth, and created man upon it; it was my hands that stretched out the heavens, and I commanded all their host.
13
I have aroused him in righteousness, and I will make straight all his ways; he shall build my city and set my exiles free, not for price or reward," says the LORD of hosts.
14
Thus says the LORD: "The wealth of Egypt and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and the Sabe'ans, men of stature, shall come over to you and be yours, they shall follow you; they shall come over in chains and bow down to you. They will make supplication to you, saying: 'God is with you only, and there is no other, no god besides him.'"
15
Truly, thou art a God who hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Savior.
16
All of them are put to shame and confounded, the makers of idols go in confusion together.
17
But Israel is saved by the LORD with everlasting salvation; you shall not be put to shame or confounded to all eternity.
18
For thus says the LORD, who created the heavens (he is God!), who formed the earth and made it (he established it; he did not create it a chaos, he formed it to be inhabited!): "I am the LORD, and there is no other.
19
I did not speak in secret, in a land of darkness; I did not say to the offspring of Jacob, 'Seek me in chaos.' I the LORD speak the truth, I declare what is right.
20
"Assemble yourselves and come, draw near together, you survivors of the nations! They have no knowledge who carry about their wooden idols, and keep on praying to a god that cannot save.
21
Declare and present your case; let them take counsel together! Who told this long ago? Who declared it of old? Was it not I, the LORD? And there is no other god besides me, a righteous God and a Savior; there is none besides me.
22
"Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other.
23
By myself I have sworn, from my mouth has gone forth in righteousness a word that shall not return: 'To me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.'
24
"Only in the LORD, it shall be said of me, are righteousness and strength; to him shall come and be ashamed, all who were incensed against him.
25
In the LORD all the offspring of Israel shall triumph and glory."


Isaiah 46

1
Bel bows down, Nebo stoops, their idols are on beasts and cattle; these things you carry are loaded as burdens on weary beasts.
2
They stoop, they bow down together, they cannot save the burden, but themselves go into captivity.
3
"Hearken to me, O house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, who have been borne by me from your birth, carried from the womb;
4
even to your old age I am He, and to gray hairs I will carry you. I have made, and I will bear; I will carry and will save.
5
"To whom will you liken me and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be alike?
6
Those who lavish gold from the purse, and weigh out silver in the scales, hire a goldsmith, and he makes it into a god; then they fall down and worship!
7
They lift it upon their shoulders, they carry it, they set it in its place, and it stands there; it cannot move from its place. If one cries to it, it does not answer or save him from his trouble.
8
"Remember this and consider, recall it to mind, you transgressors,
9
remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me,
10
declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, 'My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose,'
11
calling a bird of prey from the east, the man of my counsel from a far country. I have spoken, and I will bring it to pass; I have purposed, and I will do it.
12
"Hearken to me, you stubborn of heart, you who are far from deliverance:
13
I bring near my deliverance, it is not far off, and my salvation will not tarry; I will put salvation in Zion, for Israel my glory."


Isaiah 47

1
Come down and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon; sit on the ground without a throne, O daughter of the Chalde'ans! For you shall no more be called tender and delicate.
2
Take the millstones and grind meal, put off your veil, strip off your robe, uncover your legs, pass through the rivers.
3
Your nakedness shall be uncovered, and your shame shall be seen. I will take vengeance, and I will spare no man.
4
Our Redeemer--the LORD of hosts is his name--is the Holy One of Israel.
5
Sit in silence, and go into darkness, O daughter of the Chalde'ans; for you shall no more be called the mistress of kingdoms.
6
I was angry with my people, I profaned my heritage; I gave them into your hand, you showed them no mercy; on the aged you made your yoke exceedingly heavy.
7
You said, "I shall be mistress for ever," so that you did not lay these things to heart or remember their end.
8
Now therefore hear this, you lover of pleasures, who sit securely, who say in your heart, "I am, and there is no one besides me; I shall not sit as a widow or know the loss of children":
9
These two things shall come to you in a moment, in one day; the loss of children and widowhood shall come upon you in full measure, in spite of your many sorceries and the great power of your enchantments.
10
You felt secure in your wickedness, you said, "No one sees me"; your wisdom and your knowledge led you astray, and you said in your heart, "I am, and there is no one besides me."
11
But evil shall come upon you, for which you cannot atone; disaster shall fall upon you, which you will not be able to expiate; and ruin shall come on you suddenly, of which you know nothing.
12
Stand fast in your enchantments and your many sorceries, with which you have labored from your youth; perhaps you may be able to succeed, perhaps you may inspire terror.
13
You are wearied with your many counsels; let them stand forth and save you, those who divide the heavens, who gaze at the stars, who at the new moons predict what shall befall you.
14
Behold, they are like stubble, the fire consumes them; they cannot deliver themselves from the power of the flame. No coal for warming oneself is this, no fire to sit before!
15
Such to you are those with whom you have labored, who have trafficked with you from your youth; they wander about each in his own direction; there is no one to save you.


Isaiah 48

1
Hear this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and who came forth from the loins of Judah; who swear by the name of the LORD, and confess the God of Israel, but not in truth or right.
2
For they call themselves after the holy city, and stay themselves on the God of Israel; the LORD of hosts is his name.
3
"The former things I declared of old, they went forth from my mouth and I made them known; then suddenly I did them and they came to pass.
4
Because I know that you are obstinate, and your neck is an iron sinew and your forehead brass,
5
I declared them to you from of old, before they came to pass I announced them to you, lest you should say, 'My idol did them, my graven image and my molten image commanded them.'
6
"You have heard; now see all this; and will you not declare it? From this time forth I make you hear new things, hidden things which you have not known.
7
They are created now, not long ago; before today you have never heard of them, lest you should say, 'Behold, I knew them.'
8
You have never heard, you have never known, from of old your ear has not been opened. For I knew that you would deal very treacherously, and that from birth you were called a rebel.
9
"For my name's sake I defer my anger, for the sake of my praise I restrain it for you, that I may not cut you off.
10
Behold, I have refined you, but not like silver; I have tried you in the furnace of affliction.
11
For my own sake, for my own sake, I do it, for how should my name be profaned? My glory I will not give to another.
12
"Hearken to me, O Jacob, and Israel, whom I called! I am He, I am the first, and I am the last.
13
My hand laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand spread out the heavens; when I call to them, they stand forth together.
14
"Assemble, all of you, and hear! Who among them has declared these things? The LORD loves him; he shall perform his purpose on Babylon, and his arm shall be against the Chalde'ans.
15
I, even I, have spoken and called him, I have brought him, and he will prosper in his way.
16
Draw near to me, hear this: from the beginning I have not spoken in secret, from the time it came to be I have been there." And now the Lord GOD has sent me and his Spirit.
17
Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: "I am the LORD your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you in the way you should go.
18
O that you had hearkened to my commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea;
19
your offspring would have been like the sand, and your descendants like its grains; their name would never be cut off or destroyed from before me."
20
Go forth from Babylon, flee from Chalde'a, declare this with a shout of joy, proclaim it, send it forth to the end of the earth; say, "The LORD has redeemed his servant Jacob!"
21
They thirsted not when he led them through the deserts; he made water flow for them from the rock; he cleft the rock and the water gushed out.
22
"There is no peace," says the LORD, "for the wicked."


Isaiah 49

1
Listen to me, O coastlands, and hearken, you peoples from afar. The LORD called me from the womb, from the body of my mother he named my name.
2
He made my mouth like a sharp sword, in the shadow of his hand he hid me; he made me a polished arrow, in his quiver he hid me away.
3
And he said to me, "You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified."
4
But I said, "I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity; yet surely my right is with the LORD, and my recompense with my God."
5
And now the LORD says, who formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob back to him, and that Israel might be gathered to him, for I am honored in the eyes of the LORD, and my God has become my strength--
6
he says: "It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the preserved of Israel; I will give you as a light to the nations, that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth."
7
Thus says the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel and his Holy One, to one deeply despised, abhorred by the nations, the servant of rulers: "Kings shall see and arise; princes, and they shall prostrate themselves; because of the LORD, who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you."
8
Thus says the LORD: "In a time of favor I have answered you, in a day of salvation I have helped you; I have kept you and given you as a covenant to the people, to establish the land, to apportion the desolate heritages;
9
saying to the prisoners, 'Come forth,' to those who are in darkness, 'Appear.' They shall feed along the ways, on all bare heights shall be their pasture;
10
they shall not hunger or thirst, neither scorching wind nor sun shall smite them, for he who has pity on them will lead them, and by springs of water will guide them.
11
And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be raised up.
12
Lo, these shall come from afar, and lo, these from the north and from the west, and these from the land of Syene."
13
Sing for joy, O heavens, and exult, O earth; break forth, O mountains, into singing! For the LORD has comforted his people, and will have compassion on his afflicted.
14
But Zion said, "The LORD has forsaken me, my Lord has forgotten me."
15
"Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, yet I will not forget you.
16
Behold, I have graven you on the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me.
17
Your builders outstrip your destroyers, and those who laid you waste go forth from you.
18
Lift up your eyes round about and see; they all gather, they come to you. As I live, says the LORD, you shall put them all on as an ornament, you shall bind them on as a bride does.
19
"Surely your waste and your desolate places and your devastated land--surely now you will be too narrow for your inhabitants, and those who swallowed you up will be far away.
20
The children born in the time of your bereavement will yet say in your ears: 'The place is too narrow for me; make room for me to dwell in.'
21
Then you will say in your heart: 'Who has borne me these? I was bereaved and barren, exiled and put away, but who has brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; whence then have these come?'"
22
Thus says the Lord GOD: "Behold, I will lift up my hand to the nations, and raise my signal to the peoples; and they shall bring your sons in their bosom, and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders.
23
Kings shall be your foster fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers. With their faces to the ground they shall bow down to you, and lick the dust of your feet. Then you will know that I am the LORD; those who wait for me shall not be put to shame."
24
Can the prey be taken from the mighty, or the captives of a tyrant be rescued?
25
Surely, thus says the LORD: "Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken, and the prey of the tyrant be rescued, for I will contend with those who contend with you, and I will save your children.
26
I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh, and they shall be drunk with their own blood as with wine. Then all flesh shall know that I am the LORD your Savior, and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob."


Isaiah 50

1
Thus says the LORD: "Where is your mother's bill of divorce, with which I put her away? Or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities you were sold, and for your transgressions your mother was put away.
2
Why, when I came, was there no man? When I called, was there no one to answer? Is my hand shortened, that it cannot redeem? Or have I no power to deliver? Behold, by my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a desert; their fish stink for lack of water, and die of thirst.
3
I clothe the heavens with blackness, and make sackcloth their covering."
4
The Lord GOD has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with a word him that is weary. Morning by morning he wakens, he wakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.
5
The Lord GOD has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, I turned not backward.
6
I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to those who pulled out the beard; I hid not my face from shame and spitting.
7
For the Lord GOD helps me; therefore I have not been confounded; therefore I have set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame;
8
he who vindicates me is near. Who will contend with me? Let us stand up together. Who is my adversary? Let him come near to me.
9
Behold, the Lord GOD helps me; who will declare me guilty? Behold, all of them will wear out like a garment; the moth will eat them up.
10
Who among you fears the LORD and obeys the voice of his servant, who walks in darkness and has no light, yet trusts in the name of the LORD and relies upon his God?
11
Behold, all you who kindle a fire, who set brands alight! Walk by the light of your fire, and by the brands which you have kindled! This shall you have from my hand: you shall lie down in torment.
