4They will spring up like grass in a meadow, like poplar trees by flowing streams.H6779H996H2682H6155H4325H2988
5Some will say, 'I belong to the LORD'; others will call themselves by the name of Jacob; still others will write on their hand, 'The LORD's,' and will take the name Israel.H559H3068H7121H8034H3290H3789H3027H3068H3655H8034H3478
6"This is what the LORD says—Israel's King and Redeemer, the LORD Almighty: I am the first and I am the last; apart from me there is no God.H559H3068H4428H3478H1350H3068H6635H7223H314H1107H430
7Who then is like me? Let them proclaim it. Let them declare and lay out before me what has happened since I established my ancient people, and what is yet to come—yes, let them foretell what will come.H7121H5046H6186H7760H5769H5971H857H935H5046
8Do not tremble, do not be afraid. Did I not proclaim this and foretell it long ago? You are my witnesses. Is there any God besides me? No, there is no other Rock; I know not one."H6342H7297H7297H8085H227H5046H5707H3426H433H1107H6697H3045
9All who make idols are nothing, and the things they treasure are worthless. Those who would speak up for them are blind; they are ignorant, to their own shame.H3335H6459H8414H2530H3276H5707H7200H3045H954
10Who shapes a god and casts an idol, which can profit nothing?H3335H410H5258H6459H3276H1115
11People like that will be put to shame; skilled workers are only human beings. Let them all come together and take their stand; they will be brought down to terror and shame.H2270H954H2796H120H6908H5975H6342H954H3162
12The blacksmith takes a tool and works with it in the coals; he shapes an idol with hammers, he forges it with the might of his arm. He gets hungry and loses his strength; he drinks no water and grows faint.H1270H2796H4621H6466H6352H3335H4717H6466H3581H2220H7457H3581H369H8354H4325H3286
13The carpenter measures with a line and makes an outline with a marker; he roughs it out with chisels and marks it with compasses. He shapes it in human form, human form in all its glory, that it may dwell in a shrine.H2796H6086H5186H6957H8388H8279H6213H4741H8388H4230H6213H8403H376H8597H120H3427H1004
14He cut down cedars, or perhaps took a cypress or oak. He let it grow among the trees of the forest, or planted a pine, and the rain made it grow.H3772H730H3947H8645H437H553H6086H3293H5193H766H1653H1431
15It is used as fuel for burning; some of it he takes and warms himself, he kindles a fire and bakes bread. But he also fashions a god and worships it; he makes an idol and bows down to it.H120H1197H3947H2552H5400H644H3899H6466H410H7812H6213H6459H5456
16Half of the wood he burns in the fire; over it he prepares his meal, he roasts his meat and eats his fill. He also warms himself and says, "Ah! I am warm; I see the fire."H8313H2677H1119H784H2677H398H1320H6740H6748H7646H2552H559H1889H2552H7200H217
17From the rest he makes a god, his idol; he bows down to it and worships. He prays to it and says, "Save me! You are my god!"H7611H6213H410H6459H5456H7812H6419H559H5337H410
18They know nothing, they understand nothing; their eyes are plastered over so they cannot see, and their minds closed so they cannot understand.H3045H995H2902H5869H7200H3826H7919
19No one stops to think, no one has the knowledge or understanding to say, "Half of it I used for fuel; I even baked bread over its coals, I roasted meat and I ate. Shall I make a detestable thing from what is left? Shall I bow down to a block of wood?"H7725H3820H1847H8394H559H8313H2677H1119H784H644H3899H1513H6740H1320H398H6213H3499H8441H5456H944H6086
20Such people feed on ashes, a deluded heart misleads them; they cannot save themselves, or say, "Is not this thing in my right hand a lie?"H7462H665H2048H3820H5186H5337H5315H559H8267H3225
21"Remember these things, Jacob, for you, Israel, are my servant. I have made you, you are my servant; Israel, I will not forget you.H2142H3290H3478H5650H3335H5650H3478H5382
22I have swept away your offenses like a cloud, your sins like the morning mist. Return to me, for I have redeemed you."H4229H5645H6588H6051H2403H7725H1350
23Sing for joy, you heavens, for the LORD has done this; shout aloud, you earth beneath. Burst into song, you mountains, you forests and all your trees, for the LORD has redeemed Jacob, he displays his glory in Israel.H7442H8064H3068H6213H7321H8482H776H6476H7440H2022H3293H6086H3068H1350H3290H6286H3478
24"This is what the LORD says—your Redeemer, who formed you in the womb: I am the LORD, who has made all things, who alone stretched out the heavens, who spread out the earth by myself,H559H3068H1350H3335H990H3068H6213H5186H8064H7554H776
25who foils the signs of false prophets and makes fools of diviners, who overthrows the learning of the wise and turns it into nonsense,H6565H226H907H7080H1984H7725H2450H268H1847H5528
26who carries out the words of his servants and fulfills the predictions of his messengers, who says of Jerusalem, 'It shall be inhabited,' of the towns of Judah, 'They shall be rebuilt,' and of their ruins, 'I will restore them,'H6965H1697H5650H7999H6098H4397H559H3389H3427H5892H3063H1129H6965H2723
27who says to the watery deep, 'Be dry, and I will dry up your streams,'H559H6683H2717H3001H5104
28who says of Cyrus, 'He is my shepherd and will accomplish all that I please; he will say of Jerusalem, "Let it be rebuilt," and of the temple, "Let its foundations be laid." 'H559H3566H7462H7999H2656H559H3389H1129H1964H3245
