Hear
ye
this,
O
house
of
Jacob,
which
are
called
by
the
name
of
Israel,
and
are
come
forth
out
of
the
waters
of
Judah,
which
swear
by
the
name
of
the
LORD,
and
make
mention
of
the
God
of
Israel,
[but]
not
in
truth,
nor
in
righteousness.
2
For
they
call
themselves
of
the
holy
city,
and
stay
themselves
upon
the
God
of
Israel;
The
LORD
of
hosts
[is]
his
name.
3
I
have
declared
the
former
things
from
the
beginning;
and
they
went
forth
out
of
my
mouth,
and
I
shewed
them;
I
did
[them]
suddenly,
and
they
came
to
pass.
4
Because
I
knew
that
thou
[art]
obstinate,
and
thy
neck
[is]
an
iron
sinew,
and
thy
brow
brass;
5
I
have
even
from
the
beginning
declared
[it]
to
thee;
before
it
came
to
pass
I
shewed
[it]
thee:
lest
thou
shouldest
say,
Mine
idol
hath
done
them,
and
my
graven
image,
and
my
molten
image,
hath
commanded
them.
6
Thou
hast
heard,
see
all
this;
and
will
not
ye
declare
[it]?
I
have
shewed
thee
new
things
from
this
time,
even
hidden
things,
and
thou
didst
not
know
them.
7
They
are
created
now,
and
not
from
the
beginning;
even
before
the
day
when
thou
heardest
them
not;
lest
thou
shouldest
say,
Behold,
I
knew
them.
8
Yea,
thou
heardest
not;
yea,
thou
knewest
not;
yea,
from
that
time
[that]
thine
ear
was
not
opened:
for
I
knew
that
thou
wouldest
deal
very
treacherously,
and
wast
called
a
transgressor
from
the
womb.
9
For
my
name’s
sake
will
I
defer
mine
anger,
and
for
my
praise
will
I
refrain
for
thee,
that
I
cut
thee
not
off.
10
Behold,
I
have
refined
thee,
but
not
with
silver;
I
have
chosen
thee
in
the
furnace
of
affliction.
11
For
mine
own
sake,
[even]
for
mine
own
sake,
will
I
do
[it]:
for
how
should
[my
name]
be
polluted?
and
I
will
not
give
my
glory
unto
another.
12
Hearken
unto
me,
O
Jacob
and
Israel,
my
called;
I
[am]
he;
I
[am]
the
first,
I
also
[am]
the
last.
13
Mine
hand
also
hath
laid
the
foundation
of
the
earth,
and
my
right
hand
hath
spanned
the
heavens:
[when]
I
call
unto
them,
they
stand
up
together.
14
All
ye,
assemble
yourselves,
and
hear;
which
among
them
hath
declared
these
[things]?
The
LORD
hath
loved
him:
he
will
do
his
pleasure
on
Babylon,
and
his
arm
[shall
be
on]
the
Chaldeans.
15
I,
[even]
I,
have
spoken;
yea,
I
have
called
him:
I
have
brought
him,
and
he
shall
make
his
way
prosperous.
16
Come
ye
near
unto
me,
hear
ye
this;
I
have
not
spoken
in
secret
from
the
beginning;
from
the
time
that
it
was,
there
[am]
I:
and
now
the
Lord
GOD,
and
his
Spirit,
hath
sent
17
Thus
saith
the
LORD,
thy
Redeemer,
the
Holy
One
of
Israel;
I
[am]
the
LORD
thy
God
which
teacheth
thee
to
profit,
which
leadeth
thee
by
the
way
[that]
thou
shouldest
18
O
that
thou
hadst
hearkened
to
my
commandments!
then
had
thy
peace
been
as
a
river,
and
thy
righteousness
as
the
waves
of
the
sea:
19
Thy
seed
also
had
been
as
the
sand,
and
the
offspring
of
thy
bowels
like
the
gravel
thereof;
his
name
should
not
have
been
cut
off
nor
destroyed
from
before
20
Go
ye
forth
of
Babylon,
flee
ye
from
the
Chaldeans,
with
a
voice
of
singing
declare
ye,
tell
this,
utter
it
[even]
to
the
end
of
the
earth;
say
ye,
The
LORD
hath
redeemed
his
servant
Jacob.
21
And
they
thirsted
not
[when]
he
led
them
through
the
deserts:
he
caused
the
waters
to
flow
out
of
the
rock
for
them:
he
clave
the
rock
also,
and
the
waters
gushed
out.
22
[There
is]
no
peace,
saith
the
LORD,
unto
the
wicked.
