40COMFORT, COMFORT My people, says your God.H5162H5162H5971H559H430 2Speak tenderly to the heart of Jerusalem, and cry to her that her time of service {and} her warfare are ended, that [her punishment is accepted and] her iniquity is pardoned, that she has received [punishment] from the Lord's hand double for all her sins.H1696H3820H3389H7121H6635H4390H5771H7521H3947H3068H3027H3718H2403 3A voice of one who cries: Prepare in the wilderness the way of the Lord [clear away the obstacles]; make straight {and} smooth in the desert a highway for our God!H6963H7121H4057H6437H1870H3068H3474H6160H4546H430 4Every valley shall be lifted {and} filled up, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the crooked {and} uneven shall be made straight {and} level, and the rough places a plain.H1516H5375H2022H1389H8213H6121H4334H7406H1237 5And the glory (majesty and splendor) of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it.H3519H3068H1540H1320H7200H3162H6310H3068H1696 6A voice says, Cry [prophesy]! And I said, What shall I cry? [The voice answered, Proclaim:] All flesh is as frail as grass, and all that makes it attractive [its kindness, its goodwill, its mercy from God, its glory and comeliness, however good] is transitory, like the flower of the field.H6963H559H7121H559H7121H1320H2682H2617H6731H7704 7The grass withers, the flower fades, when the breath of the Lord blows upon it; surely [all] the people are like grass.H2682H3001H6731H5034H7307H3068H5380H403H5971H2682 8The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever.H2682H3001H6731H5034H1697H430H6965H5769 9O you who bring good tidings to Zion, get up to the high mountain. O you who bring good tidings to Jerusalem, lift up your voice with strength, lift it up, be not afraid; say to the cities of Judah, Behold your God!H6726H1319H5927H1364H2022H3389H1319H7311H6963H3581H7311H3372H559H5892H3063H430 10Behold, the Lord God will come with might, and His arm will rule for Him. Behold, His reward is with Him, and His recompense before Him.H136H3069H935H2389H2220H4910H7939H6468H6440 11He will feed His flock like a shepherd: He will gather the lambs in His arm, He will carry them in His bosom and will gently lead those that have their young.H7462H5739H7462H6908H2922H2220H5375H2436H5095H5763 12Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, marked off the heavens with a [nine-inch] span, enclosed the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales and the hills in a balance?H4058H4325H8168H8505H8064H2239H3557H6083H776H7991H8254H2022H6425H1389H3976 13Who has directed the Spirit of the Lord, or as His counselor has taught Him?H8505H7307H3068H376H6098H3045 14With whom did He take counsel, that instruction might be given Him? Who taught Him the path of justice and taught Him knowledge and showed Him the way of understanding?H3289H995H3925H734H4941H3925H1847H3045H1870H8394 15Behold, the nations are like a drop from a bucket and are counted as small dust on the scales; behold, He takes up the isles like a very little thing.H1471H4752H1805H2803H7834H3976H5190H339H1851 16And all Lebanon's [forests] cannot supply sufficient fuel, nor all its wild beasts furnish victims enough to burn sacrifices [worthy of the Lord].H3844H369H1767H1197H2416H1767H5930 17All the nations are as nothing before Him; they are regarded by Him as less than nothing and emptiness (waste, futility, and worthlessness).H1471H2803H657H8414 18To whom then will you liken God? Or with what likeness will you compare Him?H1819H410H1823H6186 19The graven image! A workman casts it, and a goldsmith overlays it with gold and casts silver chains for it.H2796H5258H6459H6884H7554H2091H6884H3701H7577 20He who is so impoverished that he has no offering {or} oblation {or} rich gift to give [to his god is constrained to make a wooden offering, an idol; so he] chooses a tree that will not rot; he seeks out a skillful craftsman to carve {and} set up an image that will not totter {or} deteriorate.H5533H5534H8641H977H6086H7537H1245H2450H2796H3559H6459H4131 21[You worshipers of idols, you are without excuse.] Do you not know? Have you not heard? Has it not been told you from the beginning? [These things ought to convince you of God's omnipotence and of the folly of bowing to idols.] Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?H3045H8085H5046H7218H995H4146H776 22It is God Who sits above the circle (the horizon) of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; it is He Who stretches out the heavens like [gauze] curtains and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in,H3427H2329H776H3427H2284H5186H8064H1852H4969H168H3427 23Who brings dignitaries to nothing, Who makes the judges {and} rulers of the earth as chaos (emptiness, falsity, and futility).H5414H7336H6213H8199H776H8414 24Yes, these men are scarcely planted, scarcely are they sown, scarcely does their stock take root in the earth, when [the Lord] blows upon them and they wither, and the whirlwind {or} tempest takes them away like stubble.H5193H2232H1503H8327H776H5398H3001H5591H5375H7179 25To whom then will you liken Me, that I should be equal to him? says the Holy One.H1819H7737H559H6918 26Lift up your eyes on high and see! Who has created these? He Who brings out their host by number and calls them all by name; through the greatness of His might and because He is strong in power, not one is missing {or} lacks anything.H5375H5869H4791H7200H1254H3318H6635H4557H7121H8034H7230H202H533H3581H376H5737 27Why, O Jacob, do you say, and declare, O Israel, My way {and} my lot are hidden from the Lord, and my right is passed over without regard from my God?H559H3290H1696H3478H1870H5641H3068H4941H5674H430 28Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, does not faint or grow weary; there is no searching of His understanding.H3045H8085H5769H430H3068H1254H7098H776H3286H3021H2714H8394 29He gives power to the faint {and} weary, and to him who has no might He increases strength [causing it to multiply and making it to abound].H5414H3581H3287H202H7235H6109 30Even youths shall faint and be weary, and [selected] young men shall feebly stumble {and} fall exhausted;H5288H3286H3021H970H3782H3782 31But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] shall change {and} renew their strength {and} power; they shall lift their wings {and} mount up [close to God] as eagles [mount up to the sun]; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint {or} become tired.H6960H3068H2498H3581H5927H83H5404H7323H3021H3212H3286
