Keep silence{H2790} before me, O islands;{H339} and let the peoples{H3816} renew{H2498} their strength:{H3581} let them come near;{H5066} then let them speak;{H1696} let us come near{H7126} together{H3162} to judgment.{H4941}

Who hath raised up{H5782} one from the east,{H4217} whom he calleth{H7121} in righteousness{H6664} to his foot?{H7272} he giveth{H5414} nations{H1471} before{H6440} him, and maketh him rule{H7287} over kings;{H4428} he giveth{H5414} them as the dust{H6083} to his sword,{H2719} as the driven{H5086} stubble{H7179} to his bow.{H7198}

He pursueth{H7291} them, and passeth{H5674} on safely,{H7965} even by a way{H734} that he had not gone{H935} with his feet.{H7272}

Who hath wrought{H6466} and done{H6213} it, calling{H7121} the generations{H1755} from the beginning?{H7218} I, Jehovah,{H3068} the first,{H7223} and with the last,{H314} I am he.

The isles{H339} have seen,{H7200} and fear;{H3372} the ends{H7098} of the earth{H776} tremble;{H2729} they draw near,{H7126} and come.{H857}

They help{H5826} every one{H376} his neighbor;{H7453} and [every one] saith{H559} to his brother,{H251} Be of good courage.{H2388}

So the carpenter{H2796} encourageth{H2388} the goldsmith,{H6884} [and] he that smootheth{H2505} with the hammer{H6360} him that smiteth{H1986} the anvil,{H6471} saying{H559} of the soldering,{H1694} It is good;{H2896} and he fasteneth{H2388} it with nails,{H4548} that it should not be moved.{H4131}

But thou, Israel,{H3478} my servant,{H5650} Jacob{H3290} whom I have chosen,{H977} the seed{H2233} of Abraham{H85} my friend,{H157}

thou whom I have taken{H2388} hold of from the ends{H7098} of the earth,{H776} and called{H7121} from the corners{H678} thereof, and said{H559} unto thee, Thou art my servant,{H5650} I have chosen{H977} thee and not cast thee away;{H3988}

Fear{H3372} thou not, for I am with thee; be not dismayed,{H8159} for I am thy God;{H430} I will strengthen{H553} thee; yea, I will help{H5826} thee; yea, I will uphold{H8551} thee with the right hand{H3225} of my righteousness.{H6664}

Behold, all they that are incensed{H2734} against thee shall be put to shame{H3637} and confounded:{H954} they{H582} that strive{H7379} with thee shall be as nothing, and shall perish.{H6}

Thou shalt seek{H1245} them, and shalt not find{H4672} them, even them{H582} that contend{H4695} with thee: they that war{H4421} against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.{H657}

For I, Jehovah{H3068} thy God,{H430} will hold{H2388} thy right hand,{H3225} saying{H559} unto thee, Fear{H3372} not; I will help{H5826} thee.

Fear{H3372} not, thou worm{H8438} Jacob,{H3290} and ye men{H4962} of Israel;{H3478} I will help{H5826} thee, saith{H5002} Jehovah,{H3068} and thy Redeemer{H1350} is the Holy One{H6918} of Israel.{H3478}

Behold, I have made{H7760} thee [to be] a new{H2319} sharp{H2742} threshing{H4173} instrument having{H1167} teeth;{H6374} thou shalt thresh{H1758} the mountains,{H2022} and beat them small,{H1854} and shalt make{H7760} the hills{H1389} as chaff.{H4671}

Thou shalt winnow{H2219} them, and the wind{H7307} shall carry them away,{H5375} and the whirlwind{H5591} shall scatter{H6327} them; and thou shalt rejoice{H1523} in Jehovah,{H3068} thou shalt glory{H1984} in the Holy One{H6918} of Israel.{H3478}

The poor{H6041} and needy{H34} seek{H1245} water,{H4325} and there is none, and their tongue{H3956} faileth{H5405} for thirst;{H6772} I, Jehovah,{H3068} will answer{H6030} them, I, the God{H430} of Israel,{H3478} will not forsake{H5800} them.

I will open{H6605} rivers{H5104} on the bare heights,{H8205} and fountains{H4599} in the midst{H8432} of the valleys;{H1237} I will make{H7760} the wilderness{H4057} a pool{H98} of water,{H4325} and the dry{H6723} land{H776} springs{H4161} of water.{H4325}

I will put{H5414} in the wilderness{H4057} the cedar,{H730} the acacia,{H7848} and the myrtle,{H1918} and the oil -{H8081} tree;{H6086} I will set{H7760} in the desert{H6160} the fir-tree,{H1265} the pine,{H8410} and the box-tree{H8391} together:{H3162}

that they may see,{H7200} and know,{H3045} and consider,{H7760} and understand{H7919} together,{H3162} that the hand{H3027} of Jehovah{H3068} hath done{H6213} this, and the Holy One{H6918} of Israel{H3478} hath created{H1254} it.

Produce{H7126} your cause,{H7379} saith{H559} Jehovah;{H3068} bring forth{H5066} your strong{H6110} reasons, saith{H559} the King{H4428} of Jacob.{H3290}

Let them bring forth,{H5066} and declare{H5046} unto us what shall happen:{H7136} declare{H5046} ye the former things,{H7223} what they are, that we may consider{H7760} them, and know{H3045} the latter end{H319} of them; or show{H8085} us things to come.{H935}

Declare{H5046} the things that are to come{H857} hereafter,{H268} that we may know{H3045} that ye are gods:{H430} yea, do good,{H3190} or do evil,{H7489} that we may be dismayed,{H8159} and behold{H7200} it together.{H3162}

Behold, ye are of nothing,{H369} and your work{H6467} is of nought;{H659} an abomination{H8441} is he that chooseth{H977} you.

I have raised up{H5782} one from the north,{H6828} and he is come;{H857} from the rising{H4217} of the sun{H8121} one that calleth{H7121} upon my name:{H8034} and he shall come{H935} upon rulers{H5461} as upon mortar,{H2563} and as the potter{H3335} treadeth{H7429} clay.{H2916}

Who hath declared{H5046} it from the beginning,{H7218} that we may know?{H3045} and beforetime,{H6440} that we may say,{H559} [He is] right?{H6662} yea, there is none that declareth,{H5046} yea, there is none that showeth,{H8085} yea, there is none that heareth{H8085} your words.{H561}

[ I am the] first{H7223} [that saith] unto Zion,{H6726} Behold,{H2009} behold{H2009} them; and I will give{H5414} to Jerusalem{H3389} one that bringeth good tidings.{H1319}

And when I look,{H7200} there is no man:{H376} even among them there is no counsellor,{H3289} that, when I ask{H7592} of them, can answer{H7725} a word.{H1697}

Behold, all of them, their works{H4639} are vanity{H205} [and] nought;{H657} their molten images{H5262} are wind{H7307} and confusion.{H8414}
