44"But now hear, O Jacob my servant, Israel whom I have chosen!H8085H3290H5650H3478H977 2Thus says the LORD who made you, who formed you from the womb and will help you: Fear not, O Jacob my servant, Jeshurun whom I have chosen.H559H3068H6213H3335H990H5826H3372H3290H5650H3484H977 3For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour my Spirit upon your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants.H3332H4325H6771H5140H3004H3332H7307H2233H1293H6631 4They shall spring up among the grass like willows by flowing streams.H6779H996H2682H6155H4325H2988 5This one will say, 'I am the LORD's,' another will call on the name of Jacob, and another will write on his hand, 'The LORD's,' and name himself by the name of Israel."H559H3068H7121H8034H3290H3789H3027H3068H3655H8034H3478 6Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts: "I am the first and I am the last; besides me there is no god.H559H3068H4428H3478H1350H3068H6635H7223H314H1107H430 7Who is like me? Let him proclaim it. Let him declare and set it before me, since I appointed an ancient people. Let them declare what is to come, and what will happen.H7121H5046H6186H7760H5769H5971H857H935H5046 8Fear not, nor be afraid; have I not told you from of old and declared it? And you are my witnesses! Is there a God besides me? There is no Rock; I know not any."H6342H7297H7297H8085H227H5046H5707H3426H433H1107H6697H3045 9All who fashion idols are nothing, and the things they delight in do not profit. Their witnesses neither see nor know, that they may be put to shame.H3335H6459H8414H2530H3276H5707H7200H3045H954 10Who fashions a god or casts an idol that is profitable for nothing?H3335H410H5258H6459H3276H1115 11Behold, all his companions shall be put to shame, and the craftsmen are only human. Let them all assemble, let them stand forth. They shall be terrified; they shall be put to shame together.H2270H954H2796H120H6908H5975H6342H954H3162 12The ironsmith takes a cutting tool and works it over the coals. He fashions it with hammers and works it with his strong arm. He becomes hungry, and his strength fails; he drinks no water and is faint.H1270H2796H4621H6466H6352H3335H4717H6466H3581H2220H7457H3581H369H8354H4325H3286 13The carpenter stretches a line; he marks it out with a pencil. He shapes it with planes and marks it with a compass. He shapes it into the figure of a man, with the beauty of a man, to dwell in a house.H2796H6086H5186H6957H8388H8279H6213H4741H8388H4230H6213H8403H376H8597H120H3427H1004 14He cuts down cedars, or he chooses a cypress tree or an oak and lets it grow strong among the trees of the forest. He plants a cedar and the rain nourishes it.H3772H730H3947H8645H437H553H6086H3293H5193H766H1653H1431 15Then it becomes fuel for a man. He takes a part of it and warms himself; he kindles a fire and bakes bread. Also he makes a god and worships it; he makes it an idol and falls down before it.H120H1197H3947H2552H5400H644H3899H6466H410H7812H6213H6459H5456 16Half of it he burns in the fire. Over the half he eats meat; he roasts it and is satisfied. Also he warms himself and says, "Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire!"H8313H2677H1119H784H2677H398H1320H6740H6748H7646H2552H559H1889H2552H7200H217 17And the rest of it he makes into a god, his idol, and falls down to it and worships it. He prays to it and says, "Deliver me, for you are my god!"H7611H6213H410H6459H5456H7812H6419H559H5337H410 18They know not, nor do they discern, for he has shut their eyes, so that they cannot see, and their hearts, so that they cannot understand.H3045H995H2902H5869H7200H3826H7919 19No one considers, nor is there knowledge or discernment to say, "Half of it I burned in the fire; I also baked bread on its coals; I roasted meat and have eaten. And shall I make the rest of it an abomination? Shall I fall down before a block of wood?"H7725H3820H1847H8394H559H8313H2677H1119H784H644H3899H1513H6740H1320H398H6213H3499H8441H5456H944H6086 20He feeds on ashes; a deluded heart has led him astray, and he cannot deliver himself or say, "Is there not a lie in my right hand?"H7462H665H2048H3820H5186H5337H5315H559H8267H3225 21Remember these things, O Jacob, and Israel, for you are my servant; I formed you; you are my servant; O Israel, you will not be forgotten by me.H2142H3290H3478H5650H3335H5650H3478H5382 22I have blotted out your transgressions like a cloud and your sins like mist; return to me, for I have redeemed you.H4229H5645H6588H6051H2403H7725H1350 23Sing, O heavens, for the LORD has done it; shout, O depths of the earth; break forth into singing, O mountains, O forest, and every tree in it! For the LORD has redeemed Jacob, and will be glorified in Israel.H7442H8064H3068H6213H7321H8482H776H6476H7440H2022H3293H6086H3068H1350H3290H6286H3478 24Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, who formed you from the womb: "I am the LORD, who made all things, who alone stretched out the heavens, who spread out the earth by myself,H559H3068H1350H3335H990H3068H6213H5186H8064H7554H776 25who frustrates the signs of liars and makes fools of diviners, who turns wise men back and makes their knowledge foolish,H6565H226H907H7080H1984H7725H2450H268H1847H5528 26who confirms the word of his servant and fulfills the counsel of his messengers, who says of Jerusalem, 'She shall be inhabited,' and of the cities of Judah, 'They shall be built, and I will raise up their ruins';H6965H1697H5650H7999H6098H4397H559H3389H3427H5892H3063H1129H6965H2723 27who says to the deep, 'Be dry; I will dry up your rivers';H559H6683H2717H3001H5104 28who says of Cyrus, 'He is my shepherd, and he shall fulfill all my purpose'; saying of Jerusalem, 'She shall be built,' and of the temple, 'Your foundation shall be laid.'"H559H3566H7462H7999H2656H559H3389H1129H1964H3245
